Development

R/C Stunt Copter was originally announced under the title "Fly by Wire".[2][3] David Perry decided to create the game because flying a radio-controlled helicopter is something most males would like to do but could not afford to.[2]

Mathematician Robert Suh modeled the radio-controlled helicopter and its flight mechanics,[2] using a book of equations for flight models as a reference.[3] The game was designed specifically for the PlayStation's Dual Analog Controller.[4]
