Archive for the ‘Electric Remote Control Airplanes’ Category
At one time or another we all wanted to know what it felt like to fly a plane or a jet. As we get older the feeling doesn’t go away. I will never be able to fly a real plane because I am scared of heights. Luckily there are different ways to fly a plane or a jet.
RC jets are a great way to get the flying experience. You have total control of the jet. You can maneuver it anyway that you want. It gives the feeling of being a pilot.
There are many types of radio-controlled aircrafts. It really depends on what type of experience you have as well as what you want to do. Some are more complicated then others. You just need to know your skill level.
Some different types of rc planes are jets. Jets tend to be very expensive and commonly use a micro turbine or ducted fan. There are gliders as well. Glider planes do not typically have any type of propulsion, as a general rule. Another is called a pylon racer. These types are smaller and propeller driven. The kits are fairly inexpensive. Those are just a few to choose from.
9 Eagles Sky Eagle EP Park Flyer RTF 2.4Ghz
The Sky Eagle Park Flyer is an excellent beginner electric-powered plane from Nine Eagles. The fuselage is made from light but durable EPP foam, while the patented propeller protective device helps to minimize damage to the propeller and motor by allowing the propeller to fall off if you crash nose-first. The included transmitter is a 2.4GHz mode 1/mode 2 controller. Switching between the modes is simple and takes minutes. Combine this with a wind resistant and stable design and you get a great Electric RC Airplane for beginners.

KYOSHO MINIUM AD PIPER J-3 CUB READYSET
airplane flying experience to new heights!
You have to learn to walk before you can run. The same concept applies to electric RC airplanes. Before you can learn how to do fancy tricks, you need to learn the basics. Making smooth turns is an important skill to master.
The first turn you make with one of your electric RC airplanes must come after the vehicle has climbed to a workable altitude. You need to reach at least tree-top height and then level out. Next, use your controllers to move the rudder. Remember to ease the plane around curves; don’t force the move. Once you’ve gotten comfortable with basic turns try taking your RC airplane out on a breezy day and learn to turn into and out of the airflow.
KYOSHO MINIUM AD PROFILE EXTRA 330SC
Torque roll capability! Enjoy the exciting maneuverability of a profile airplane. The same 4-channel control of aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle featured in large airplanes is compacted into the ultra small MINIUM AD series. Now a new level of acrobatic performance is available with the PROFILE EXTRA 330SC!
The KYOSHO MINIUM AD PROFILE EXTRA 330SC profile airplane specifications realize an ultra lightweight finish and excellent aerodynamics in a slightly larger size than previous MINIUM AD models. You can also enjoy the airplane’s acrobatic flight outdoors, even in a light breeze.
Torque rolls are regarded as a difficult challenge for ultra-small airplanes, but the PROFILE EXTRA 330SC executes these with confidence. The new KT-20 TF1 2.4GHz full throttle stick transmitter without return spring produces flight control remarkably similar to GP airplanes.
Only a short time is needed to complete the assembly which basically involves fixing sections together with special polystyrene glue (sold separately) and linkage setup. As with all MINIUM AD series models, the R/C system automatically scans a 75-wave spectrum for open frequencies when it is switched on to provide a stable control system safe from radio interference that also allows up to 24 airplanes to flown at the same time. The result is real acrobatic flight from a micro airplane for a flying experience like no other!
FEATURES:
- Lightweight Yet Strong – Lightweight yet robust structure of this profile airplane is damage-resistant and reproduces the outer lines of the original. Delivers exceptional acrobatic flight performance.
- Flight Performance – Large diameter D120 x P70mm propeller and 8mm motor delivers the powerful thrust for acrobatic performance and also provides the power for large loops, torque rolls and rolling circles.
- One Piece Receiver – One-piece receiver with motor control amp has more than double the capacity of the previous version.
- Pre-Installed Servos – Three pre-installed servos provide control of aileron, elevator and rudder for complete acrobatic an stunt flight capability and performance.
- KT-20 TF2 – KT-20 TF2 full stroke throttle stick without return spring is ideal for this model. Newly developed multifunction 4-channel PERFEX KT-20 transmitter features a large LCD to display data for voltage, digital trim offset values and control mode. Provides complete visibility of control settings and allows easy use of additional functions.
- Full Control – Uses the same 4-channel control functions as large airplanes, including aileron control to deliver the full range of airplane flying experiences.
- 2.4GHz Band – Newly developed R/C system operates on world standard ISM band on high frequency 2.4GHz. Scans the 75-wave spectrum to use clear frequencies for an extremely safe control system free of interference. Allows up to 24 aircraft to be flown at the same time.
- Large LCD Display – Offset values of the 19-step digital trims are displayed on the LCD for easy reference.
- Multi Use KT-20 – Transmitter can be used with other MINIUM AD series airplanes and helicopters. *Cannot be used with 3-channel MINIUM airplane series.
- Built-in Charger – Transmitter also features built-in battery charger. Just connect the Li-Po battery and charging commences until it cuts out when complete.
- Charge While You Fly – Charger function can be used while it is operating as transmitter so you can charge a spare battery (sold separately) while you are flying.
- 8mm Gear Reduction Unit – Equipped with 8mm motor and gear reduction unit as standard.
- Max Thrust – Includes D120 x P70mm propeller that delivers optimal thrust for acrobatic flight performance.

Travis, my younger brother, got into flying and building RC airplanes his freshman year of high school. Since most of his money comes from mowing lawns and raking leaves, he has to carefully save to afford his hobby. For his 18th birthday I decided to buy him a top of the line model. After all, you only become legal once!
I consulted with some of his buddies who he builds and races with to see what sort of RC airplanes to look into. After much research, I settled on a Redcat P-51D Mustang. It has a wingspan of 37.8 inches, a flying weight of 22.9 ounces, and an 850kv out runner brushless motor. The package came with the RC airplane mostly assembled, a four channel 2.4GHz transmitter, a wall battery balance charger, a rechargeable battery, and a user’s manual. It cost me a pretty penny, but 18 is a special birthday, and my brother absolutely loved his present.
