RC Airplane Kits

RC Airplane Kits

You can easily make RC airplanes by yourself. RC Airplane kits can be of different types. The prominent ones are:

1. RTF Kits:

Ready-to-fly (popularly known as RTF) RC airplane kits contain all the pre-assembled parts together and require a relatively less amount of assembly work. With these kits, one can construct a remote-controlled airplane in just about an hour.

2. ARTF Kits:

Almost Ready To Fly (ARTF) Radio Controlled Airplane Kits are somewhat similar to RTF kits but require relatively more time for assembly and basic construction. On an average, it takes around 20 hours of labor when assembling an aircraft using Almost Ready To Fly kits. These kits will require separate both purchase as well as installation of servos, speed controller (electric), choice of motor (glow fuel, gas or electric) and occasionally control rods.

3. From scratch or plans:

Radio-controlled airplanes can even be constructed from scratch or plans. Many plans are available in the market. These plans include an Radio Controlled airplane's complete drawing and also its components. The parts first need to be cut as per the shape and size mentioned in the fuselage and in the plan. The rest of the steps are similar to that elaborated in the pre-assembled kits wherein all the essential components are assembled and joined together to build an RC Airplane.

To building Radio Controlled Airplane from scratch involves significant knowledge of airplane design. Constructing Radio Controlled Airplanes from scratch can be a very fun and delightful process.

4. Balsa Kits:

Balsa RC Airplane kits are available in a range of sizes and skill levels. These kits usually contain most raw materials that are required for building an unassembled airplane. Balsa kits can be of two types, namely laser cut Balsa kits and die-cut Balsa kits. Laser cut kits are comparatively more expensive and have more accuracy and tolerance in their construction. Balsa R. C Airplane kits don't usually include the essential tools which can be bought separately.

Thus, one can make an RC aircraft using these Radio Controlled plane kits.
