Electri-Fly Super Sportster EP radio control electric airplane
Written by admin on March 7, 2010 – 8:28 pm -
The Sportster is truly a fun plane to fly. The suggested battery can provide long flight times with less than half throttle on the rimfire 0.25, which still pulls the airframe around fairly briskly. After a twelve minute flight, I put back in 1600ma. At full throttle, the fun really begins as you push the airframe to the extremes of its flight envelope.Read the full review/article loading with pictures www.rcuniverse.com www.rcuniverse.com -World’s Largest Radio Control Community http -Buy, Sell, and Trade RC www.rcuniverse.com -Read Radio Control online reviews and articles www.rcuvideos.com – Watch Radio Contol Videos http -Discuss Electric Radio Control Aircraft

Flying Radio-Controlled (RC) Aircraft
Written by admin on February 13, 2010 – 8:15 pm -
There is something about flying that excites and amazes certain people. Many people often dream of flying, but resist following that dream because it seems too difficult and too expensive. However, the excitement and dreams of flying have become a reality with radio-controlled (RC) aircraft. Actually, some of the RC aircraft today can give you the best flight of your life. If you would talk to a dedicated RC plane hobbyist, they would tell of the excitement of heading to an RC field on a warm, sunny day to fly their planes and to enjoy the camaraderie of other hobbyists and RC club members. It is always amazing to see the many different styles of aircraft and how they maneuver through the air.
Radio-controlled planes have a rich history, and provide a suitable hobby for all ages and skill levels. Flying enthusiasts have a large variety of aircraft to choose from, making the hobby more exciting for all hobbyists from the beginner to the expert. You can pick and choose what you want depending upon your taste and the available money you have to spend. Generally, the ideal choice of a particular RC plane depends upon a combination of style and pilot skill level.
For beginners, park flyers are a great choice. The term “park flyer” denotes small, primarily electric planes. They are so named because they are small enough to be flown inside public parks. The recommended aircraft for beginners is an A-R-F (Almost Ready To Fly) high-wing trainer. A-R-F planes are already built and don’t require a lot of time and building experience to get ready for flight. A-R-F planes also have fairly large wing spans (60-70 inches) which aid in better visibility and flight operation.
For intermediate hobbyists, there are glow plug engine planes and electric powered planes. Glow plugs, which are similar to spark plugs, ignite the fuel in the plane operating as a small internal combustion engine.
For the expert pilot, jets, helicopters, and competition aircraft are very popular and provide an exciting challenge. Sophisticated electronics and speed controllers have now taken the controlling of an RC airplane to higher levels. These aircraft are no longer considered toys just to play around with. Jets commonly use ducted fans or micro turbines to power them. They are constructed of carbon fibre and fibre glass. Jets can achieve speeds over 200 mph, requiring quick reflexes and many hours of flying experience. Helicopters are trickier to fly than planes and are much less forgiving.
If you want to get started flying RC planes the following information may help you:
Flying aircraft of any type is not a skill we are born with. Purchasing any radio-controlled aircraft and trying to fly without some basic knowledge may possibly result in the destruction of the model. When this happens right off the bat, most prospective flyers get discouraged and pass on an exciting hobby. Flying RC aircraft is not difficult but does require some practice to become proficient enough to have your plane soar through the skies and return for a safe landing. Teaching yourself to fly is possible; however, if you find a local flying club and seek some help from the experienced flyers is the ultimate way to learn. A flight simulator can aid in learning the fundamental movements and actions of an airplane. It is an easy and convenient way to practice the simplest turns to the most complex maneuvers. It must be remembered that the flight simulator does just what it’s name implies, it simulates the actions of an airplane. The simulator is not the real thing and most planes react differently in the air.
Whether you are a kid, or just a kid at heart, flying RC aircraft is directed at anyone who wants to relax and have fun. Get involved if you want a hobby that gives you a thrill!
Happy Flying!

Jabo 2 Mini Rc Radio Control Electric Helicopter
Written by admin on February 11, 2010 – 8:18 pm -
One last reason is that gas RC Helicopter is the best thing you get before you move to ultralight helicopter. Thus one you have a gas RC Helicopter you don’t have to require yourself to upgrade unlike if you have an electric RC Helicopter. There are those who prefer to build model RC Helicopter by themselves to add to their ever-growing collection. Are RC Helicopters much harder than planes? RC Helicopters are more complicated to fly than airplanes however it is possible to learn to fly a RC Helicopter by yourself which is next to impossible for an rc airplane because with a RC Helicopter you can fly a little bit 2 inches off the ground and land safely. RC Planes are nice in that they’re much more relaxing to fly than a RC Helicopter but the coordination you learn from flying RC planes is not so useful when flying RC Helicopters that it warrants buying a whole airplane first. For those who have heard this for the first time you should realize that you only require standard parts from an auto parts and hardware store to create a helicopter (that can really fly). RC Helicopter flying has become a better alternative to flying a real helicopter. It costs less and completely safe from crashing. But that is not all. RC Helicopter flying has become a hobby for those who have the passion on helicopters.
Before we start it is traditional for other pilots to share their experiences so get there and ask ask ask and ask. Do not forget to put the frequency crystal back into the tx after you have been using it with the CSM Simulator (since the tx batteries last 10 times longer without the crystal installed) it is a real drag to go to the site and just as you are ready to start-er-up you notice you do not have a crystal in your tx. so you can land your helicopter in the sim now but can you make it land where you want it to precisely? Work on this. See gas helicopter nitro rc.
With a pre-built ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) kit like the Raptor you’re only a few hours from ready to hover when you get it in the box!. Practice turning the heli a little bit to the right and left. Get used to the perspective in real life. The sim experience only helps. Practice flying the heli out and back (tail in both ways) Practice a little side to side slow-flying. Flight Sims: Will enable you to get going with FREE flight sims or commercial flight sims and controllers ranging from 19.99 – 129.99 these flight simulators can save you a fortune and some of them must be seen on 48″ plasmas!.
if you are careful. Extremely careful. I put the blade holders on upside down but it seems to fly ok with them that way. When I get some extra money I’ll buy new wood blades. http://www.rchelicopterguide.info/electric-rc-helicopter/rc-electric-helicopters-arf-hummingbird.php In other words after you have bought and first flown your radio-controlled helicopter you might not be able to fly it again.
Homebuilt RC Helicopters are motorized (although wit less power) and can lift you off from the ground with the same experience you can get from a conventional full-size helicopter.There are a few things that will affect the resonance frequency of your helicopter: 1)Weight and weight placement 2)Size and lengths 3)RPM 4)Shape. So when in doubt change one of those variables and see what happens. If you are planning to fly your RC Helicopter on open spaces then the electric RC Helicopter is your ideal size. On the other hand if you only prefer indoor flying then you can either choose the mini or the micro.
Practice flying around backwards slowly. This is very difficult. Practice flying around backwards while inverted. Yikes. The Real McCoy. I suggest that you should wait to fly the real thing until you can confidently fly around in the simulator and land without crashing. You will be much better off in the event of an emergency and learn quicker too. Also see rc helicopter reviews. If you want to start the hobby you can start on one model and start from there. I think RC Helicopter simulator teaches you coordination very well. It teaches some bad habits maybe.

Zlin 50 LX RC Electric Aerobatic Plane
Written by admin on June 22, 2009 – 2:14 pm -
Flying my 1m Zlin-50 LX.
The plane is fully balsa-built, has seperate wings, is powered by a Jeti BL-Outrunner Motor that is operated with an 8-cell Sanyo 1050mAh battery.
I primarly built this “normal-powered” plane to avoid unlearning the good old power-management we all had to learn with the last century’s Speed-400 Motors… 
I like flying classic maneuvers which are just flown dynamically!
