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 ...

   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.

   It was originally devised in the 1960s for paper airplanes. In the 21st century the KF airfoil has found renewed interest among hobbyist builders of radio-controlled aircraft, due to its simplicity of construction. [1] But it has not been adopted for full-size aircraft capable of carrying a pilot, passengers, or other substantial payloads.

   The remaining components added to the plane are virtually the same as can be found in any other R.C. aircraft of similar size. This concept of building simple radio controlled airplanes using cheap materials without the time-consuming and painstaking process of working with balsa wood and iron-on plastic coating was popularized by a web site ...

8. Model aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_aircraft

   Class 'D' 60 size speed planes can easily reach speeds well in excess of 150 mph (240 km/h). Radio-controlled aircraft have a controller who operates a transmitter that sends signals to a receiver in the model to actuate servos that adjust the model's flight controls similarly to a full sized aircraft.

9. List of radio-controlled model aircraft kit manufacturers

   Many notable individuals in the 1960s through the 1990s and beyond created the landscape of modern RC modeling. These included many starting their own companies. The families of many of these individuals lost interest in continuing these businesses. The incoming supply of ARF planes from overseas made it hard to sell kits requiring assembly.
