You are flying an RC airplane through the sky. Flying RC or radio controlled airplanes is an excellent hobby, and it can be a lot of fun. RC airplanes are perfect as a father and son activity. What types of Radio Controlled Airplanes are there?

There is so much more than just airplanes in the RC aircraft world.

1) RC Airplanes

2) Jet RC

3) Gliders

4) Remote Control Helicopter

5) Blimps

6) UFO’s

Can anybody Fly RC Airplanes?

RC airplanes are easy to operate and with a little practice, anyone can soon be an expert. You can choose from electric airplanes or gas powered. Typically, electric airplanes are the easier RC models to fly. Airplanes with a high wing design provide much more stability.

When you are first learning, fly the RC plane at a low height and not too far from you. Always be aware of which way the airplane is facing. That is rule number one of flying an airplane.

When thinking about buying your first one, take into consideration that most of the cheaper airplanes do not have options for modifying the signal frequency of the transmitter. If you see other people playing with their radio control toys, such as airplanes, RC heli, RC boats or radio controlled cars; you might experience random movement of your airplane while it is on because of interference of the other RC Toys. Be aware also that most electric RC airplanes have a low flight time of 5-15 minutes. Gas powered airplanes are more expensive, bigger and harder to maintain.

Just remember, the most important part is to have fun while remote control airplane flying. After all it’s still a radio controlled toy! Remember to buy a cheap airplane for your first remote control airplane! Be patient to learn, do not buy a $200 airplane, crash it and then hate the hobby.

Whether you chose to be part of the larger RC airplane community, or enjoy your hobby alone or with a friend, RC aircraft flying can be extremely satisfying.
