Buy Your Boy or Boyfriend A Helicopter, Radio Controlled, Of
Course

by Victor Krumm

Get the perfect present for that special man or boy in your
life: an electric rc helicopter.

Over the past few years mini helicopter radio control
technology has advanced to the point that today even a
beginner can fly a mini helicopter safely.

Just a few years ago the cost of an electric mini helicopter
was virtually out-of-reach for lots of people but terrific
rc toys are now surprisingly cheap. If you shop smart, you
can find a model for your budget, starting from about $30.

Although most people do not know it, there are a terrific
number and variety of makes and models of these exceptional
hobby helicopters on the market today. Few big retailers
even carry a line of rc helicopters and those that do almost
always have a very limited selection. Do not bother looking
for radio controlled helicopters at large stores like
Walmart or Big K because they’re not going to have them in
stock.

Before Walmart and the other big box retailers like Target,
there were lots of small businesses, including hobby stores,
throughout America. Unfortunately, these little stores are
increasingly rare but the few remaining mom and pop shops
can only afford to carry a very limited variety and
selection and then only at a premium price.

While you are nearly certainly assured that you will not
find a good selection of radio controlled products at your
local shopping malls, don’t be dissuaded. An RC helicopter
is a terrific, unique, safe and fun present that can be
enjoyed either in or out of the house and there are lots to
choose from on the net.

Today’s mini helis are not only affordable for you, they are
a unique and fun gift. These are not models that have to be
put together. Most come ready-to-fly. Some models weigh only
a few ounces and will fit in a child’s hand but fly forward,
backward, left and right.

The best way topurchase a RC helicopter is on the web from
an internet retailer that sells only RC products. Not only
will you have dozens–or more–models to choose from, many
internet stores offer prices that no brick and mortar store
can possibly afford to sell at.

Radio Controlled Model Aircraft – Learning How To Fly One With Ease

haapy — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:37:10 +0000

by Paul Mancini

Radio controlled planes make an interesting hobby for a lot of people. These small airplanes have the ability to conduct verycomplex maneuvers in the air, similar to their full-sized brethren. Many of these airplanes can be flown in a large garden or at the local park.

RC planes come in a whole variety of styles. Most of them are modeled on the design of large aircraft. Of late special RC planes have been made to mimic jet aircraft. Some are light in weight while others heavier – with heavier models generally requiring more technique to fly them properly.

Though more tiny than their real counterparts, radio controlled model airplanes can perform many of the maneuvers of the regular plane. They are remotely controlled by radio and are generally bought with instructions on how best to fly them.

It is actually quite simple to fly radio controlled model planes. You can learn some excellent flying tips from local clubs, periodicals and books. One good place to begin the process of learning how to fly model aircraft is through the Academy of Model Aeronautics. The AMA can provide you with hundreds of tutorials on how to fly various types of radio controlled model airplanes. They also have tutorials for more advanced flying techniques, such as the maneuvers that will blow away your friends, and bring more enjoyment to your pastime. The AMA publishes a weekly periodical to help you keep abreast of RC plane information. Another huge benefit from joining the AMA is that you are offered insurance with your subscription, and updates on radio control model planes events throughout the USA.

If you’d like to learn about flying radio controlled planes on your own, you will first need to get acquainted with the different parts of the model.

The fuselage is the main body of the aircraft. It is the part to which everything else attaches. The wings provide the lift that the aircraft needs to fly. They could be found at the sides of the aircraft. The elevators control the elevation or altitude. By manipulating them you can make the aircraft go up or down. The ailerons will cause the plane to roll over. They are located on both wings. The rudder will control direction of the plane depending on the direction in which they are pulled.

You should also know that there are 4 forces that act on the RC model airplane – the lift that keeps the aircraft in mid air, gravity that wants to pull it down, thrust that moves it ahead, and drag that reduces the velocity of the airplane.

You’re probably wondering which aircraft is the easiest to start flying with? We would recommend starting with those marked ‘Ready to Fly’. These planes come as the complete model with pre-installed radio and servos, and are quite literally ‘ready to fly’ right out of the box.

As a newbie, it is also best to start with electric engine aircraft. They easy to pilot, and all you need to do is to charge the radio and batteries for a flight. Once they get discharged you simply recharge for your next flight. If you are intent on flying in a smaller space you should consider ‘mini’ versions – these are very tiny and have the ability to easily take off and land in smaller areas. These ones can also be flown at low altitudes and are suitable for enclosed spaces.
