Flying Radio Controlled Airplanes Basics

Flying RC airplanes is exciting. Lots of people imagine flying RC planes but resist the urge as they feel that it is an expensive hobby. With leaps in RC model plane technology this is no longer the case as they are becoming much lighter faster and more agile and they have come down in costs quite a bit from their predecessors. If you talk with any enthusiast they will talk about the thrill of racing their plane at high speeds around a field on a summer day pulling off all kinds of stunts and tricks that they have practiced.

You will want to pick a plane that is at your skill level as the basic airplanes have controls that are very forgiving these days and will be able to correct themselves by levelling out if you release the controls or if the motor stalls this way you won't easily be able to wreck your aircraft before you get the hang of the controls. The more advanced planes don't have this auto correction feature but will allow for greater control over the airplanes direction in flight and allow for more stunt flying than a beginner plane but is harder to control. Make sure to master the basics before choosing a more advanced plane.
