Remote Control Model Airplane - Few Words about a Great Hobby

Before we get started, I want to share a few fun facts about rc flying. Most rc aircraft are now small enough to be flown indoors, and almost anyone can enjoy flying these rc airplanes. It is now also much easier and affordable to get started in rc flying. Also, RC airplane clubs are more common now than ever before. Remote Control Model Airplanes only make up one sector of radio control flying. There are also helicopters, jets, and gliders that can all be built and flown.

Beginners should start out with gliders. They are very light, large enough to fly easily, and small enough for easy transport. Gliders are more acceptable to the non-flying community than powered planes because of the noise and price factor. Although powered planes will let you fly longer, and your model doesn't need to be as light, but you need to fly it away from populated areas. But a very important point to remember is find an rc pilot instructor to teach you to avoid the frustrations that most beginners have.
