Esc Airplane

Rc airplane crash help!!?

i have a spitfire mk2b that recently suffered a nose dive from 200 feet or so..straight down. I have recently rebuilt the plane from balsa wood instead of the usual foam pre made parts (cost a fortune!). All my cowl was sand, engine survived somehow, and the battery exploded. The plane i guess hit a gust of wind due to the fact that there were severe rc winds in the area. Anyway the body was trashed, plane wing saved and servos,esc,and other various parts salvaged and rebuilt. Is there any online store where i can buy Ni-Cd batteries for cheap? like ten. twenty dollars tops?

check on ebay, there are often cheap ones.

RC Aircraft Versus RC Helicopter

With the advanced technologies developing by leaps and bounds, high-tech and thrilling RC products, especially RC aircraft and helicopter, have hit the market and gained immense popularity.

Well, are you into RC aircraft? You know, many RC helicopter pilots are former aircraft pilots, or now fly both. The two share many similarities, and also there are also some major differences that people new to the flying things should be aware of.

Similarities between RC Helicopter and RC aircraft Flight

1. Both RC helicopters and RC aircraft behave in similar ways when flying forward. Left and right bank will still cause you to turn your helicopter in the expected direction, and pitching up or down will cause you to slow down or speed up.

2. If you can keep track of your RC airplanes orientation, then it won’t be difficult to do the same with a helicopter.

3. The basic radio layout is the same across transmitter modes.

Differences between RC Helicopter and RC aircraft Flight

1. Any helicopter pilot who can hover can takeoff and land. With an aircraft, taking off and landing is usually considered harder than straight and level flight.

2. When flying forward with a helicopter, you have to keep the nose down to keep flying forward.

3. Hovering a helicopter is a completely different process than hovering a 3-D airplane.

4. Airplanes generally need a larger area to fly in than helicopters.

5. When more than one person is flying an airplane at a field, they generally fly planes in a pattern around the runway. Helicopter pilots tend to choose their own zones in the air, which they stay in and do not leave.

Recent radio systems generally have modes for both airplanes and helicopters, but there are a few other differences. RC helicopter radios lack the ratchet that RC airplane radios have on the throttle. The ratchet is great for keeping the throttle setting constant on an RC airplane, but it is not good for helicopters because variations in the throttle setting smaller than the graduations on the ratchet may need to be made. RC helicopter radios also have a 3 position flight mode switch on the left side (normal, idle up 1, idle up 2) and a 2 position throttle hold switch on the right side.

Motors, engines, batteries, and ESCs are usually interchangeable between helicopters and airplanes. Motors that are specifically designed for helicopters use more oil in the fuel and have a larger heatsink.

Well, no matter which one you choose to play, you should take care of both RC aircraft kits and RC helicopter kits.  Anyway, wish you have fun with either of them!
