The motive power of the RC model airplane is strong and the model airplane can stay in the air for about 10 to 15 minutes
Flight height of the remote control model airplane can reach over 328 feet
Easy operation and less assembly RC model airplanes allow quickly and fast enjoy the flight experience
The radio controlled model airplanes can hand launch and ground take off
Back of the remote control model airplane is for the change of flight direction
Relatively big size of the fuselage over the RC model airplane indicates it can be operated in the square and open air
By applying durable composite material, the electric RC airplane is impact resisting and anti deforming
The RC model airplane can fly to the height of 645ft easily
RC Airplane Game: Limbo Flying
This limbo flying game involves setting up a limo bar, under which you attempt a low-level pass. It's a fairly basic set-up, but try and use light weight plastic or bamboo canes for the frame- metal ones will do damage to an off-target airplane
Don't make the bar too low to begin with, and keep it as wide as possible. As you get better at flying underneath the bar, lower it but keep the width constant-unless you are felling really confident
RC Airplane Game: Spot Landing
This spot landing game is a true test of skill! Using a brightly colored tape or ribbon, lay out three concentric circles within your usual landing area. Make the outer circle fairly large, say 10ft. in diameter, then lay out the other two within this one, say at 6ft. and 3ft. diameters
Allocate a set number of points to each circle eg 5 for landing within the 10′ one, 15 for landing within the 6′ one and 25 for landing within the 3′one. Let each pilot have one practice landing, then 3 landings counting the score from each. The score is taken from whichever circle the wheels touch down in first
RC Airplane Game: Follow the Leader
This 'follow the leader' RC airplane game, also called pursuit, take at least two RC airplanes; the more the merrier, but too many gets a bit hectic
Tie a good length (say, 15ft.) of a crepe-paper type material to the rear end of one of the airplanes. Yep, you guessed it, this is the leader
Let the leader take off safely, then the other pilots have to fly their models after the lead, trying to cut the streamer with their propellers! This isn't as easy as it might sound, but if you are that good and you catch the streamer regularly, don't let it get too short. Let the leader land and replace it with another long length
RC Airplane Game: Burst the Balloon
This is just a variation on the above game, but balloons are tied to the leader plane instead of ribbon. As with 'follow the leader', let the lead airplane take off and have the other planes chase it around the sky, trying to burst the balloons with their props
So there you have for simple-but-fun RC airplane games with which to hone your skills. If you are playing these in a public area, remember where you are! Don't become so absorbed with playing the games that you forget about safety issues
Understanding your RC airplane controls, or indeed the controls of any RC model, is very important for you to do some homework. It can help save more money from crash and enjoy the fullest fun of your models. Always take a bit of time to understand how your new RC airplane, helicopter or vehicle is operating; you'll get much more out of the hobby than just moving the transmitter sticks and watching the model change direction
The airplane control surface:
For an airplane to be controllable, control surfaces are necessary. The 4 main surfaces are ailerons, elevator, rudder and flaps as shown below
When the airplane is on forward flight it will rotate around each axis (axis - the blue dashed lines in the picture above) when movement to any control surface is made by the pilot. The table below shows the appropriate actions
The following sections explain how each control surface affects the airplane
Located on the trailing edge (rear) of the wing, the ailerons control the airplane's roll about its longitudinal axis. Each aileron moves at the same time but in opposite directions For example when the left aileron moves up, the right aileron moves down and vice versa
This movement causes a slight decrease in lift on the wingtip with the upward moving aileron, while the opposite wingtip experiences a slight increase in lift. Because of this subtle change in lift, the airplane is forced to roll in the appropriate direction when the pilot moves the stick left, the left aileron will rise and the airplane will roll left in response to the change in lift on each wing
The ailerons are controlled by a left/right movement of the control stick, or 'yoke'
The rudder is located on the back edge of the vertical stabilizer, or fin, and is controlled by 2 pedals at the pilot's feet. When you push the left pedal, the rudders move to the left. The air flowing over the fin now pushes harder against the left side of the rudder, forcing the nose of the airplane to yaw round to the left
The elevators are located on the rear half of the tail plane, or horizontal stabilizer. Like the ailerons, they cause a subtle change in lift when movement is applied which raises or lowers the tail surface accordingly. In addition, air hitting deflected elevators does so in the same way as it hits the rudder with exaggerated effect that forces the airplane to tilt upwards or downwards
Moving the elevator up (pulling back on the yoke) will cause the airplane to pitch its nose up and climb, while moving them down (pushing forward on the yoke) will cause the airplane to pitch the nose down and dive. Elevators are linked directly to each other, so work in unison unlike ailerons
Flaps are located on the trailing edge of each wing, between the fuselage and the ailerons, and extend outward and downward from the wing when put into use
The purpose of the flaps is to generate more lift at slower airspeed, which enables the airplane to fly at a greatly reduced speed with a lower risk of stalling. When extend further flaps also generate more drag which slows the airplane down much faster than just reducing throttle power
Although the risk of stalling is always present, an airplane has to be flying very slowly to stall when flaps are in use at, for example, 10 degrees deflection
So all these factors are why and how airplanes fly. Radio control model airplanes can of course be simpler - for example, just have rudder and elevator control or perhaps just rudder and motor control. But the same fundamental principles always apply to all airplanes, regardless of size, shape and design
