I work at a day camp for kids and I recently purchased an RC model helicopter for the children to play around with and they love it. It’s a really great feeling to see their little eyes light up when they hold the controller in their hands make those models fly up into the air.
Now a few of these kids want to be pilots and they spend their art time drawing up helicopters and airplanes. They have dreams thanks to these model choppers and planes.
A project that I decided to have with my son a few years back was flying RC airplanes together. It was a fun thing for us to do on Sunday mornings, but now he’s 13 and has more of an interest in Guitar Hero.
I, on the other hand, have kept up with flying the airplanes outside of our home on Sunday mornings. It’s really the only time where I feel like I can escape the trappings of work and have some “me” time. On occasion my son will leave his video games to fly with me, but only if I show him some new tricks with the plane.
Are you starting out in the remote control model hobby and want to familiarize with the terminology being used? For example, we have added to our product line, the new RC WASP V4 Helicopter. The terms used here may not be familiar to you. Below is a direct link to the A-Z glossary of terms used in the industry. Just point and click to open. To speed up the search, use the Adobe’s search tool provided to locate the term and its meaning:
Here is a video of a beginner making use of the RC Helicopter Training Kit, in learning to hoover an RC Wasp V2 Helicopter (simulator included). You can see, as demonstrated, the importance of using the training kit in gradually learning to make the remote control helicopter lift-off, hoover and land. It is a very inexpensive way to prevent costly accidents. However, please remember the importance of first practicing on an RC Flight Simulator to learn the feel of the controls, before attempting your maiden flight.
Before attempting to fly your remote control helicopter, it would be a wise investment of time to get it right, using an rc flight simulator first. It will protect your prime investment, the rc helicopter model itself. Here are some additional pointers to follow, when learning to fly using a simulator (sim), that we have found from the pros:
We are looking from all users of the Skyartec products of electric rc helicopters and electric rc airplanes, comments or suggestions for improvements.
For example, if someone out there is already using the RC WASP V3 Pro series of electric remote control helicopters, please post your comments and/or suggestions for improvements right here, or email us directly at info@qualityrchobbies.com with the heading “Product Comment” along with the specific name or SKU (stock order number) of the product. We look forward to this product feedback and will forward them for implementation.
Enjoy your hobby!
I found this great article, written by Andre McFayden, that I thought my customers would like to see. The principles apply both to flying RC airplanes and RC helicopters.
RC airplane flying is a fun and challenging hobby. The time and expense of learning to fly remote control airplanes has been greatly reduced in recent years. RC flight simulators have been one reason for this. These are programs that run on your home pc, allowing you to practice “virtual” flight. Here are some tips for getting the most out of your rc flight simulator (”sim”).
