How to start flying RC airplanes Get
For thousands of years man has dreamed of flight. Nothing has amazed people as much as flying machines have in the past century and there is still more to come. What is even more amazing though, is the progress in personal flight toys. You can fly everything from a miniature helicopter, to a one 20th scale Cessna, which you can build at home yourself.
The more amazing thing about today's RC airplanes is the fact that anyone can fly them, and some airplanes are very easy to fly. For example, I bought a $ 50 Hobby Zone airplane and the controller had two controls, one that could drive the plane right or left and then the second throttle (speed) control. How can a simple then!
As simple as it may be, it still may be difficult for beginners to get started in this hobby. Since I now have the knowledge that every beginner should know, since I was a beginner once, I wanted to share with other people so that everyone can enjoy the RC planeHobby.
The first thing a beginner needs to know, is their power sources. RC airplanes can be powered by electricity or an engine that runs on fuel called nitro methane. This is very important when deciding to purchase the first radio-controlled airplane. Do you need some knowledge of the two power sources, because both have their advantages and disadvantages. First, I want to say that for all beginners' I recommend an electric RC plane on an aircraft gas RC. Why? Since an electricAir is cheaper, how cheap under $ 100, and much easier to use. In fact, all you have to do is connect the battery and press the ON switch. They are also much quieter and produce no emissions. Also not much maintenance is required in addition to maintaining a cool, dry place.
A gas powered RC airplane has its advantages, of course. If you are a realist and what an authentic looking, and remote control air-borne sound, an airplane with a gas engine is what you want. A RCPlane with a gas engine is bigger and bulkier then an electric R / C plane, then the scaling, and too realistic. He also plays like a real airplane is doing and it's something like a real little miniature airplane since the engine requires fuel, tuning, and other settings. These types of aircraft cost more and take longer to assemble. In addition, they require great care, and continued to spend more money, there are special fuel, oil and other needs justAccessories.
Well, since more or less know what kind of plane you want to buy, let me help you, work and learn some tips and tricks that can be found virtually on the airfield.
If you've never been an aircraft model or a real airplane before you fly, then you might have some problem begins to fly and land. The first thing to remember is that you need a good open field to fly, unless of course you have a slow flyer or park flyer that can be flown,small areas, such as buildings or parks. A good place airfield can be found online by searching through a search engine like Google, for a local club. Airfields always have a club, and are usually full of friendly people who are willing to help you learn.
Most of these clubs have flying instructors that there is help for free will, or get a bit 'of money. In any case, you have a tutorial that will teach you a lot. You can be assured that if something goes wrong withTheir aircraft, there will be people who have the knowledge to solve the problem.
They can learn another way of flying, of course, the teaching itself, but this can be expensive if you bring a lot of accidents. If you are going to teach yourself, I suggest you start with a cheap $ 50 electric RC plane that has just left and right steering and throttle. These types of aircraft, from a flat surface or simply by hand in the air by full-throttle set.
Afterstarted, there is no stopping you and the rest will come naturally. There are still some other much needed accessories, I suggest not to go out with a beginner. Like a good book, RC plane, a box, a car charger for an aircraft electrical and extra batteries for the transmitter. With all these tips in mind, you can start your flying experience and to keep the wind behind.
