Radio control plane at RC Discount Superstore

Radio Control Plane

The AirStrike radio control plane with its classic civil aviation lines, everything you need packaging and super quick assembly time, is a compact, 34-inch wingspan trainer that transports and stores easily.

Produced from durable yet lightweight materials, the AirStrike is made with the strength needed by new pilots.

The Cessna-like high wing design provides a stable, easy-to-control radio control plane, while the included 3 channel 72 MHz transmitter features controls for variable speed, rudder and elevator in the traditional Mode 2 format appreciated by R/C club instructors. And because its electric, the AirStrike can be flown in areas off-limits to large and noisy fuel-powered models!

A rechargeable 8.4 volt battery pack and automatic 12 volt DC peak charger provide the necessary power for clean, quiet and enjoyable flights. The AirStrike radio control plane contains an auto-cutoff circuit that automatically reduces power to the motor when the battery pack nears the end of its charge, while leaving ample reserve radio power for gliding and a successful landing.

A comprehensive owners manual guides you step by step through final assembly, pre-flight checks and first flights. If youve hesitated to try a radio control plane because you thought it was too expensive, think again. Flight School has never been more affordable

Essential remote controlled helicopter information

Fantastic New Remote Controlled Helicopter Models
(All links open new windows)

Remote controlled helicopters

are sure to push your coordination, imagination and mechanical skills to the limit. And it's absolutely exhilarating to fly a complex miniature electric machine in your living room, backyard, or local field without having to worry about the noise and messy oils and gasses involved with the larger type gas
remote control helicopter.

When you land the electric remote controlled helicopter it will be just as clean as when you took off (sometimes even cleaner!) and you won't even disturb your family. This field of micro helicopters is fairly new, having been around for only a few short years. We can only imagine what the future will bring. We are already seeing new developments in lithium batteries and brushless motors which can now be used to achieve flight durations of over 20 minutes...plenty of time to get your kicks!
A micro electric remote controlled helicopter is a fully 3D-capable (acrobatic) machine in all respects and although they are not easy to fly due to being susceptible to winds with their light weight, they can achieve flying characteristics of the larger scale rc model helicopters. Some of the more expensive micros share the same flight characteristics as the larger units such as cyclic, pitch, rudder and motor speed and thus can fly inverted, do loops, stall turns, auto-rotations, etc.
Perfect for both beginners and for owners of the larger scale helis, a micro remote controlled helicopter can certainly fill the bill. If you've ever owned a larger scale RC helicopter, you will definitly enjoy the fact that you can finally fly your model regardless of weather conditions, day or night in the comfort of your own home.

Just go to the backyard or to your two car garage, slide in a fresh battery pack and go at it. Your guests will be very impressed. Micro helis can be made to fit in a small case with the transmitter, charger and all the necessary gear which makes them ideal for carrying around to a friend's house or to a local park.

To sum it all up, a micro electric remote controlled helicopter is great for beginners for the following reasons:
* It's lightweight so the damage in a crash is minimal compared to larger RC Helis
* You will be able to practice all the time in your backyard or garage
* The cost of replacement parts are fairly cheap compared to larger scale RC model helicopters
* They are less dangerous since the rotor blades are light (Still need to keep a good distance)
* Installation and configuration is less complex with the Fixed Pitch helicopter remote setups
