History of RC airplanes

Today, it is common for many people to buy and build RC airplanes. With patience, discipline, and a lot of practice, almost anyone can learn to fly a remote control airplane. This leisure activity has been around since the 1800s, but it has come a long way from yesteryear’s experimental, rudimentary designs.

In the early 1870s, Alphonse Penaud was known as the father of model aircraft. When he first launched his Planophere at the Tileries in Paris, he brought a fascination to life. On its first flight, the Planophere reached one hundred and thirty-one feet. Many people were inspired by it and believed in the possibilities of powered flight.

Although Alphonse Penaud initially worked with model helicopters, the Planophere was designed as a model airplane powered by winding a rubber band. The design featured the first cruciform tailplane, the typical design often used today, with a tailplane that resembles a cross when viewed from behind.

RC hobbyists were the first to build remote-controlled aircraft using balsa wood and by hand. This procedure took a lot of time and required a lot of patience. In the starting, creative hobbyists who wanted to improve their designs were limited because there were no customizable parts. Nevertheless, all homebuilt RC aircraft are unique because they are made by hand.

In the early seventies, the production of inexpensive rechargeable batteries increased, sparking a revolution in the world of RC aircraft. Affordable, practical, and quiet motors that could run on rechargeable batteries were the power source for these RC aircraft. Combined with newly available materials such as foam, plastic, and fiberglass resin, these motors opened the door for the sale of ready-to-fly and nearly ready-to-fly RC aircraft. These aircraft types are the RC aircraft that many people have come to know and love today.

How do RC airplanes fly?

The remote control of a model airplane is similar to a TV, a music system, or even an RC car. However, these remote controls work with infrared waves, while model airplanes work with radio waves. The remote control work as a transmitter that emits radio waves when flying the RC plane.

Types of RC airplanes

RC planes are designed to fly indoors or RC planes that are almost as big as your house. RC planes and kits fit any budget, no matter how big or small. Some RC planes are so easy that anyone can fly them, while others are so complex that it takes years of experience to control such machines properly. Some RC planes you can fly right in your backyard, while other radio–controlled planes are best flown in large open spaces. Regardless of how much flying experience you have or how much money you are willing to spend, there is an RC plane for you.
