Making remote control helicopters from parts and plans

Helicopters can be viewed as more versatile and flexible because of their aerodynamics which makes them adaptable to be maneuvered in almost every situation and that’s why they are the most popular ‘go to’ means of aero navigation by many people especially soldiers when in combat.

There’s is another group of pilots who use radio controls to fly model helicopters, a hobby which is popular of late and attracts a number of enthusiasts who usually form clubs and other associations so that they can network as well as schedule events whereby they can have competitions or meet with their copters to fly them for fun.

Just for fun.

I’m wondering if I can’t get an Air Force 1 model.

I now understand why they failed to recruit you into the army.



 
 

rc copter1 Therefore various models of RC Helicopters have been manufactured by various companies, with some being complex hence the need for clubs where these hobbyist share ideas.

The basic idea for these hobbyists is to use radio control to remotely command these model heli1copters while on air.

There are some radios which are computerized to have model memory hence have the capabilities to run several models of different aircrafts which range from helis to fixed wings models while other radios are programmed to run only a specific model.

When I grow up, I want to be a pilot… No, I mean a captain.



 
 

The RC radio system usually has four basic components although some may have additional components or accessories attached to them. The components include ;

A transmitter

Which comprises of two joysticks, switches and knobs. The transmitter is usually hand-held and its sole purpose is to control the movement of the helicopters. It transmitterdoes so by sending signals of the commands. Computerized radios systems however have a LCD screen with a menu and several dial options for extra manipulation.

The receiver

This is used to receive the radio signals from the transmitter and then converts them into electrical signals.

The servos

These are devices which convert the electrical signals originating from the receiver back into mechanical movement which is required to physically move the controls surfaces on the copters.

The receiver battery

This supplies power to both the servos and the receiver. It usually has a switch for powering the receiver on and off.

The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost aircrafts.



 
 

rc club

This website previously belonged to a model helicopters’ club called Scotia Bladerunners which was founded by Gerry Blackwood in 1994. The club had great information especially for newcomers interested in the sport and on their site there was a lot of golden information about model helicopters which range from basic to intermediate training and other golden nuggets full of info about spare parts, copter tricks etc.. But the most important thing is that you want to be a certain weight in order to step foot in the helicopter, otherwise it will get pretty ugly… So with that said, I suggest you take a look at how to lose weight fast… You’ll be fitting perfect in no time.. 😉

I want to thank these writers Stephen Bell and Colin Bells for putting up together such informative posts. You can click on several categories below to look at them.
