Details areĮasier to implement in larger models, so such planes tend to beĪbove 5 feet in wingspan and have high power requirements (300+ By comparison, typical sport planes fly at 40-60 mph, sailplanes from 20-60 mph.Įxact scale models of all varieties of civilian and military planesĪre also popular targets for model airplane enthusiasts. Such planes typically have 3-4 foot wingspans and use 200-400 watt motors, reaching speeds well in excess of 100 mph! Some gas kits can achieve speeds of 200 mph. Some pilots choose to design low drag planes that will go as fast as possible. they don't self-recover from bad situations as readily as trainers. Neutrally stable - they 'go where they're pointed' i.e. Lifting capability but usually improves handling in gusty windĬonditions and during aerobatic maneuvers. Semi-symmetrical and symmetrical airfoils. Utilize a flat-bottom airfoil, most sport planes use Such planes range from 3-9 foot wingspans withġ00-1500 watt (05-90) motors. Most good trainers, if placed in an unusual or hazardous attitude, will recover on their own if there is sufficient alititude.Īfter mastering the basics of flight, many modelers seek planes thatĪre less overtly stable than trainers and hence make betterĪerobatic planes. Trainers are generally high-wing planes with flat-bottom airfoils and plenty of dihedral for positive stability and high lift at low speeds. They generally fly somewhat faster than the typical sailplane, but still slowly enough for the novice to comprehend the situation and respond correctly. Most of these planes are designed for 100-250 watt (05-15) motors and have wingspans of 3-5 feet. Most trainers are gas-powered, but several kits also come in an electric flavor. Relatively few of these planes are powered, but could be modified to accept 200-400 watt (15 to 40) electric motors as desired.Īlthough the easiest way to learn to fly R/C planes is through sailplanes, many opt for the more traditional Cessna-like trainer approach. Sailplanes larger than this are classified as open class gliders. Standard-class sailplanes are the next largest at slightly over 9 foot wingspans. Powered 2-meter sailplanes are usually propelled with 05 class motors (100-200 watt). Resistant to gusty wind conditions than smaller sailplanes. Siblings, and is easier to see at high altitudes and is more This size of plane responds faster to control input than its larger The most popular type of sailplane is the 2-meter (6.3 feet) class. They require the smallest radio equipment due to their small fuselages. The smallest sailplanes are about 4-5 feet in wingspan and can fly effectively as pure gliders or with. Some gliders are capable of high speeds and advanced aerobatics, others are designed for seeking and circling in hot air pockets called thermals. This corresponds to long flight times of 10-20 minutes and more. Sailplanes are popular choices for electrically-powered planes since a relatively low amount of power is required to sustain flight. īelow is a sampling of the kinds of electric model planes one often encounters. Here's some tips on converting a gas kit to electric power. Lift planes will be less suitable, but the only serious penalty is short flight times. Any plane designedįor glow power can be successfully modified for electric power.īecause of their shorter full-power run-times, electrics are moreĮffective in planes with low drag and/or high lift.
