RC plane... Part 2

Continue from part 1... We seen that RC plane is powered by engine or electric motor. We can control that speed using servo motor by radio transmitter. Additional battery is used to supply power to servo motor. There is main 3 control surface as we know which is aileron, elevator and rudder. Aileron is placed on wings while elevator and rudder are placed on horizontal and vertical stabilizer respectively. So that there is 3 servo motor used for controlling this surface for engine powered plane.

RC plane.... Part 1

It is aircraft same as commercial and military aircraft. But RC plane has very small scale compare to actual plane. RC is stand for remote control. So main difference is that RC plane is controlled by remote while actual plane have hydraulic control as we know. RC plane is used to study about flight behavior of actual aircraft so that we can modified in actual plane according to flight. RC plane requires some component like small scale fuselage, power source, battery, radio, propeller,etc. There is mainly 2 type power source used in RC plane, electric powered and engine powered. For electric powered RC plane, brushless motor is used according to requirement. While for engine powered RC plane we can use gasoline engine or diesel engine. Speed of engine or motor is controlled using radio transmitter... ..Continue in part 2.
