   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 model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_model

   Out of radio-controlled model boats sprang up a new hobby—gas-powered model boating. Radio-controlled, gasoline-powered model boats first appeared in 1962 designed by engineer Tom Perzinka of Octura Models. [citation needed] The gas model boats were powered with O&R (Ohlsson and Rice) small 20 cc ignition gasoline utility engines. This was a ...

   Rupp made many contributions to the design of go-karts, including the step frame and a new braking system that augmented driver control and kart stopping power. [2] Rupp karts featured single- or dual-engine models with behind-seat-mounted fuel tanks. Rupp would eventually introduce a kart with four-wheel independent suspension. [3]

8. Radio-controlled helicopter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_helicopter

   Learning to fly a collective pitch RC helicopter takes time and practice. Many modelers join a club so they can be instructed by experienced RC pilots, or follow on-line guides. [12] RC Helicopters usually have at least four controls: roll - cyclic pitch, elevator (fore-aft cyclic pitch), rudder (yaw) and pitch/throttle (collective pitch/power ...
