2. Radio-controlled aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_aircraft

   A radio-controlled aircraft (often called RC aircraft or RC plane) is a small flying machine that is radio controlled by an operator on the ground using a hand-held radio transmitter. The transmitter continuously communicates with a receiver within the craft that sends signals to servomechanisms (servos) which move the control surfaces based on ...

3. Radio-controlled aerobatics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_aerobatics

   Flying full throttle from right to left, pull up to a 45-degree upline. Roll the wing to the left 90 degrees so the left wing tip points to the ground. Feed full right rudder, full right aileron, and full down elevator. The aircraft should exhibit the Lomcevak while spiraling downwards.

4. RC flight simulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_flight_simulator

   An RC flight simulator is a computer program that allows pilots of radio-controlled aircraft to practice on a computer, without the risk and expense of damaging a real model. Besides the obvious use of training beginners, they are also used for practising new aerobatics, evaluating a model before buying it, and to allow flight practice when ...

5. Model aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_aircraft

   Ready To Fly (RTF) radio control aircraft are also available, however model building remains integral to the hobby for many. For a more mass market approach, foamies, injection-molded from lightweight foam (sometimes reinforced) have made indoor flight more accessible and many require little more than attaching the wing and landing gear.

6. Control line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_line

   Early versions merely constrained the model to fly in a circle but offered no control. This is known as round-the-pole flying.The origins of control-line flight are obscure, but the first person to use a recognizable system that manipulated the control surfaces on the model is generally considered to be Oba St. Clair, in June 1936, near Gresham, Oregon.

7. Radio-controlled model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_model

   1:10 scale radio-controlled car (Saab Sonett II)A radio-controlled model (or RC model) is a model that is steerable with the use of radio control (RC). All types of model vehicles have had RC systems installed in them, including ground vehicles, boats, planes, helicopters and even submarines and scale railway locomotives.

8. Round-the-pole flying - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-the-pole_flying

   Round-the-pole flying (RTP) is a form of flying model aircraft, in which the model is attached via a line from its wingtip or fuselage to a central support structure. Control signals can be passed to the model via wires alongside or integral with the attachment line.

9. Free flight (model aircraft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_flight_(model_aircraft)

   F1B Model by Stepan Stepanchuk. Free flight is the segment of model aviation involving aircraft with no active external control after launch. Free flight is the original form of hobby aeromodeling, with the competitive objective being to build and launch a self controlling aircraft that will consistently achieve the longest flight duration over multiple competition rounds, within various class ...
