Looking for an inexpensive tremolo pedal. I've heard sound clips from the Behringer one. It sounds cool to me. Have anyone compared it to the Joyo trem pedal? The joyo is true bypass. Any other options I should look at? Thanks.

Looking for an inexpensive tremolo

Depends on how inexpensive. Tremolos tend to be fairly expensive in general. Joyo and Behringer tend to be hit or miss. I haven't seen any reviews of either, but I haven't looked either.
Here's a review of the Behringer, sounds pretty good for the money compared to the much more expensive Boss pedal
Boss TR-2
Get in there and clip out the C4 capacitor (called the C4 mod) and you've got a great sounding tremolo with no volume drop. Super easy mod to do. Used around $40-50.

I don't know what a helicopter sound is, but I'd like to hear one

This kind of thing
Sure. Depends on what you pipe through it for that sounds. I use it all the way on square wave. Super choppy, I love it after a fuzz.
I used to have a Danelectro Cool Cat trem. Did the job. There's a volume drop you have to correct for, though. $35 or 40 new if I remember right.
I believe Ralph Cambell was making lunes for about that price.
The weren't designed for high gain work but they sounded just so good.
My guess is he didn't use the filters everyone else did. This resulted in a glorious sound within sightly tighter parameters.
Talk to the guy.
If you have talent and can follow detailed instructions you might be able to make your own. I lack that courage.

you can pick up a used VooDoo Tremolo in the $50-$75 range. solid, simple trem. i had the 2 knob one for many years til i upgraded to a Gigfx Chopper.
