2. Servo (radio control) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_(radio_control)

   Servos (also RC servos) are small, cheap, mass-produced servomotors or other actuators used for radio control and small-scale robotics. [citation needed] Most servos are rotary actuators although other types are available. Linear actuators are sometimes used, although it is more common to use a rotary actuator with a bellcrank and pushrod.

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 ...

4. Servo control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_control

   Servo and receiver connections A diagram showing typical PWM timing for a servomotor. Servo control is a method of controlling many types of RC/hobbyist servos by sending the servo a PWM (pulse-width modulation) signal, a series of repeating pulses of variable width where either the width of the pulse (most common modern hobby servos) or the duty cycle of a pulse train (less common today ...

5. Servomechanism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servomechanism

   Other examples are fly-by-wire systems in aircraft which use servos to actuate the aircraft's control surfaces, and radio-controlled models which use RC servos for the same purpose. Many autofocus cameras also use a servomechanism to accurately move the lens. A hard disk drive has a magnetic servo system with sub-micrometer positioning accuracy ...

6. 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.

7. First-person view (radio control) - Wikipedia

   Another common feature is the addition of pan and tilt capability to the camera, provided by servos. This, when coupled with video goggles and "head tracking" devices creates a truly immersive, first-person experience, as if the pilot was actually sitting in the cockpit of the RC aircraft. [4]
