![]() The earliest RC model airplanes were built in the 1930s. Over the years, I’ve flown gliders and light aircraft and helicopters but I always geek out on RC flying. I had my first experience of flying remote control airplanes when I was around 7 years old. Thereafter, I was truly smitten by the flying bug and many decades later I am still deeply passionate about airplanes and flying. They make great remote control airplanes for kids. Because the propeller is facing backwards, it’s much less likely to be damaged on landing. Which means the aircraft can fly slower and be stable in flight, giving the new RC pilot plenty of time to react. The wing area is larger in comparison to other RC planes. As mentioned before, dihedral and low wing loading will be included in the wing design. ![]() There are many different variations of this design. What it means is that your RC plane will always return to level flight after steep turns and banking.Īnother common design option for an RC trainer is a where the motor is facing rearwards in what is known as a pusher configuration. It’s a built in stability and is not the stabilization technologies we will cover later. Because the centre of gravity is lower and the wings have dihedral (an upward bend or slant) incorporated into the design.ĭihedral is an inherent stabilization that tends to return your RC plane to wings-level flight. Most people prefer them, over mid or low wing airplanes because they are more stable in flight. High wing RC airplanes make excellent trainers. Consider your options for RC trainer-type aircraft.
