Radio Control Airplanes

RC Airplanes By Jonas Merrell

1 January 2014

Introduction: I like electronics engineering and building things and an RC airplane covers all those points. I want to later build an RC airplane from scratch but first I need to fully know how one works so I want to get a kit so I can learn 100% how they work.

Electronics: There are many electronics that go in to an RC plane like a motor, ESC (electronic speed controller), servos, controller/radio, receiver and a battery.

Mechanics: Basically the way they work is the controller sends info to the receiver which tells the servos to make the rudder, elevators, and/or the ailerons move and/or the ESC to control speed of the motor. By making a kit I will better understand how all the parts work.
