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. Dynamic soaring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_soaring

   Dynamic soaring is a flying technique used to gain energy by repeatedly crossing the boundary between air masses of different velocity.Such zones of wind gradient are generally found close to obstacles and close to the surface, so the technique is mainly of use to birds and operators of radio-controlled gliders, but glider pilots are sometimes able to soar dynamically in meteorological wind ...

5. Washout (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washout_(aeronautics)

   Washout reduces the angle of incidence from root to tip, thereby causing a lower angle of attack at the tips Washout is clearly visible in this image of a CF-18 Hornet. Note the angle of the Sidewinder missile on the wingtip rail as compared to the angle of attack of the fuselage. The Hornet has approximately 4 degrees of washout.

6. 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.

7. 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 ...

8. Radio-controlled glider - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_glider

   Thermal duration, where the goal is to keep flying for 10 minutes and land on the spot; distance, flying the maximum number of laps in four minutes; and speed, flying the minimum time to cover four laps of 150 metres (490 ft) each. The three tasks have to be flown with the same plane, changing only weight between tasks.

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 ...
