   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.

3. 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.

5. Round-the-pole flying - Wikipedia

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

   This is done by using a normal RC-controller. In the pole is a RC-receiver including a RC-servo for controlling the elevator and a speed controller for regulation the electrical motor in the aircraft. Elevator control and the electrical motor control is done with 2 electrical wires from the pole to the model aircraft.

   Hand-launching an UMX Radian. Hand launching is the simplest way to get a model glider into the air. Depending on craft design and the conditions at launch—the pilot or an assistant need only to gently 'throw' it into the wind, at an angle deemed best suited, usually between horizontal and 45 degrees of zenith.

8. Homebuilt aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebuilt_aircraft

   Planes built from metal use similar techniques to more conventional factory-built aircraft. They can be more challenging to build, requiring metal-cutting, metal-shaping, and riveting if building from plans. "Quick-build" kits are available which have the cutting, shaping, and hole-drilling mostly done, requiring only finishing and assembly.

9. Free flight (model aircraft) - Wikipedia

   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 ...
