remote controle airplanes

 

 

My hobby is flying remote control airplanes I have 2 kinds of aircraft’s and I love this hobby.  

The airplane

 

Radio controlled (R/C) airplanes come in many different shapes and sizes. They may weigh less than half a kilo and have wingspans barely over 25 cm’. On the other side there are powered monsters with wingspans that can be over 4 meters and may weigh 20 kilos or more. There are even model jets with real turbine engines in them. The cost of these models (with engine and radio) can range anywhere from just under 1500 shekels to several thousand. Some are built with woods such as balsa and others with fiberglass.    A slow model may only go 45 km/h but some of the jets can go over 450 km/h.

 

The remote control

 

Radio Controlled models are controlled by radio signals. The pilot holds the Transmitter which is used to send signals to the Receiver. The receiver is in the aircraft and controls the Servos. The servos are also in the aircraft and are used to move the controls such as rudder, throttle, aileron, and elevator. All of these are powered by batteries.

 

The engine

 

There are many types of model airplane engines. 25 to .60 sized aircraft are the most popular. One of my airplane has a .46 engine and the other one has .65 engine.
