RC Superhero

Everybody knows superheroes, but do you know about their RC? In this post, let’s talk about some Super Hero Remote Control Toys.

Who doesn’t know Superman? Well, in case someone doesn’t, he is the best known Superhero worldwide, originated from America. He’s superhuman, super strong, and he’s a hero. He can fly, so you can guess what kind of Radio Controlled Toy I’m going to show you.

Yep, a Superman look-a-like Radio Controlled Airplane. No matter how you look at it, this Radio Control Toy really is a RC Airplane. This one is a battery-powered electric toy, so prepare some if you’re flying this one.

Batman

Batman

Batman, also another famous superhero along with Superman. Unlike Superman who is a superhuman, Batman is an ordinary human. He is powerful and intelligent because of his training. His wealth allows him to develop hi-tech weaponry, equipments, and even his secret base and lab. As for his RC Toys

RC Batcopter and RC Batmobile

There are these remote control car and remote control helicopter. Both have hi-tech Batman style, as if the word ‘Batman’ is written all over them. Personally, I love the design and the black colorings.

Iron Man

Iron Man

Another hi-tech superhero. He is a genius human in his armor, and yes, he made his own armor. The armor has lots of functions : flying, electromagnetic pulse, laser beam, you name them.

Iron Man Walking RC

Iron Man Walking RC

Not an airplane RC nor a radio control car. This unusual RC is a walking robot RC Model! It has some lights and some (toy) missile launcher attached to it. It can also produce sounds which can be quite realistic. I’d say this is a good one!

Unusual RC Toys

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Today let’s talk about those  unusual (call it weird or bizarre if you wish) RC Toys. As you can guess, most of the radio control toys aren’t meant for racing unlike those Nitro RC or Jet RC, and yes most of them are electric powered.

RC Tarantula

Spiders? Not scary. Big creeping spider? Now that’s quite scary, but scary enough to scare most of the girls! This tarantula model RC has a furry body, size of a small dog, and it creeps around the floor. Best used on hard surfaces, since carpet hinders this radio controlled toy. Unlike real spiders (but like real spiders in comic books), the legs are delicate, so handle with care.

If you’re REALLY planning to freak a girl with this toy… Just don’t let her smash this toy to smithereens.

Radio Control I-Fly Wasp

Radio Controlled Wasp

Forget the spider above. If you really want to freak someone out, send a buzzing giant wasp. Uh, yea, on the second look it’s not quite scary (but it’s kinda cool), but most people would probably freak out when they see a huge… buzzing wasp on their way. It flaps its wings like a bird or insect. Comes with spare wings.Will fly for 15 minutes or more between charges. So in conclusion, this is actually… an RC Airplane, right?

I don’t think people would whack this toy like the spider above, so don’t worry… I hope.

RC Superman

It’s a wasp! It’s a plane! NO! It’s SUPERMAN!!

Who would’ve thought? The Superman RC toy is one such thing to have; especially because unlike normal Superman figures this one is an RC toy and it actually flies just like the real one!

This toy is plain cool, enough said.

RC Airplanes

Electric RC Airplanes – Basics

RC electric airplanes

Airplane RC Models powered by electric motors were very uncommon, due to the excessive weight of the power system and battery, most of them are fueled by liquids such as nitro. However, the electric RC airplane has become commonplace, especially in models meant for beginner pilots.

Electric power advantages include reliability, convenience, low noise, low vibration, and clean operation. However modern electric airplane motors, combined with advanced batteries, have increased the performance of electric RC airplane by leaps and bounds.

There are three main types of battery packs in use for electric RC planes motors. These are Nickel Cadmium (NiCad), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium Polymer (LiPo). LiPo batteries are lighter for a given application, but are more expensive than NiCad or NiMH.

Electric RC plane types include powered sailplanes, indoor flyers, scale models, aerobatic models, and ducted fan (Jet RC-type). Virtually any type of RC Toys (Remote Control Toys) such as RC Boats, RC Helicopters, RC trucks/cars, or even RC Tank can now be electric powered.

Flying an Radio Controlled Toy Airplane is not as difficult as you may think. Electric Airplanes that are ready to fly (RTF) or almost ready to fly (ARF) are perfect for the first time flyer. With a little practice, these electric Radio Control Toy Airplanes can be flown in the park or even in your own backyard.

Select an open space and flat ground for your first time fly with no crowds, high buildings or electric lines nearby, and you’re ready to go. Most electric RC Airplanes are made of complex material of high strength, so they are not easily damaged even hitting the ground. So, enjoy your flight!
