Hello! so far there are many resources
I've compiled on topics regarding RC and real airplanes, helicopters, gliders
which you will find on the links below. Although copyrighted, they are free to
use so I've included it here on my website. They are very informative and interesting
so I do hope you will enjoy reading them. Thanks for visiting.
How
Model Airplanes Fly - Building and flying model airplanes is a fun hobby
and past time. But somehow it is not enough for a model airplane enthusiast just
to know how to build and fly his airplane.
Why
All the Debate on Lift and the Principles of Flight - There seems to always
be debate around aerodynamic principals; specifically around the theory of lift
and the textbook versions taught on the principles of flight. Many times it confuses
physics students, even causes them to miss questions on test as the test answers
often question the reality of what lift is and how aircraft really remain airborne,
fly and remain aloft.
How
to Get Started Flying RC Airplanes - If you are a beginner trying to get
started in the RC airplane hobby, then this article will help. You will gain some
basic knowledge of RC model airplanes and learn how to fly.
Radio
Control Electric Airplanes: Now Easy to Buy and Easy to Fly!- Discover
the enjoyment of flying electric powered radio control model airplanes. RC Planes
with battery power are clean, reliable, instant-starting and quiet! New developments
in motors, lithium batteries and ready-to-fly designs have brought new excitement
to this wonderful hobby.
RC
Gliders - An introduction to non-powered rc airplanes. Discusses different
types of rc gliders and how they fly.
Perpetual
Motion Blimp Propulsion - Blimps float on air and if they turn off their
engines they float wherever the wind takes them. Recently in Albuquerque I saw
what happens when you depend on Mother Nature to guide the direction of your endeavors
in this way.
How to
Airbrush - A step by step guide to using an airbrush.
How
to get started flying RC helicopters - RC helicopters have become a very
common RC toy lately and come in a variety of prices and types. Many problems
that beginners face are what type of helicopter to choose, power source for it
and whether they want an indoor or outdoor one.
Flight
- History of Aeroplanes and Steps of Flying - The invention of flight
by the Wright brothers has brought about a revolution in the world. The concept
of speed and distance started changing. The impossible started looking possible.
The perfect combination of strength, weight, and carrying capacity has been experimented
and finally achieved.
RC
Electric Airplanes: What's All the Excitement About? - Electric power
for the model RC airplane is the fastest growing aspect of this hobby/sport. Two
major developments have created this gold-rush atmosphere. First, the recent bringing
to market of the Lithium Polymer battery and second, the disappearance of many
of the traditional local RC flying sites under the pressure of real-estate development
and population growth.
Weathering
Model Airplanes - How to enhance the realism of model airplanes, by simulating
wear and tear.
Why
Are All Aircraft Designs so Similar? - Have you ever noticed how similar
modern day aircraft are to one another? How about modern day fighter planes, commercial
airliners and private aircraft? Have you ever considered why this is; well you
are not alone.
Wake
Turbulence Vortices Use in Aerodynamic Aircraft Designs - We know of the
tremendous amount of wake turbulence high wing loading swept wing aircraft create
at high angles of attack. This intense airflow creation should be used with additional
concave airfoils to push up on such surfaces.
