OK, what is small, medium and large electric helis? I know it will be by rotor diameter, but what are the boundaries/limits for each class?

What does a Walkera #4 fit into?

Ok, so the classifications are by weight. So what are the limits for each class?

There is no official exact weight limit for classifications but these are kinds of a guideline to organize discussions so we all can find the info easily. Normally a mini heli weighs more than 400g. and less than 800 g. and big electric heli normally weighs more than 800g and a sub micro heli normally weighs less than 150 g. Thre is no weight limit for coaxial heli forum. We classify gas/nitro by manufacturer. It is a good question and I hope this would help clarify it.
