Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harmonious, elegant, silent, precise - that is aerobatics. Aerobatic gliding with remote-controlled models is oriented towards man-portable flying, both in terms of the models and the flying style, as well as the ratings in competitions. In this book, the interested model pilot will find a market overview of suitable models, what they look like, their technical data and their suitability for glider aerobatic competitions. In addition to the necessary technical equipment, the correct model settings and the special features of towing are discussed. A chapter is also dedicated to glider aerobatics on the slope in the high alpine mountains or on the seashore. The author, who is experienced and successful in this discipline, gives valuable tips for a good mental attitude in order to be able to celebrate glider aerobatics aesthetically. In addition, he shows what is important in competition flying, which programmes are flown and how the judges score. A brief history of this young model aviation sport and a look into the future round off the work.The book helps beginners to avoid painful mistakes, and it shows advanced pilots how to achieve a sense of achievement more quickly.

Download or read book Model Aircraft Precision Aerobatics written by Peter J Jenkins and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a guide both for beginners as well as improvers to model aircraft precision aerobatics, or F3A, competition focused on the UK. However, it is just as relevant anywhere else in the world as the issue of how to control an aerobatic model aircraft is not limited to a single geography! If you are not interested in entering competitions, this book will bring you some of the knowledge and techniques that you would only pick up by attending them. If you are sufficiently disciplined in your flying, there is no reason why you should not reach a good aerobatic standard after following the advice and guidance contained in this book.In short, this is the book I would like to have had when I took up aerobatics and first entered competitions. If like me, you have wanted to take up precision aerobatics but couldn't find any resources to help you, this is the book for you. The book covers the basics of starting aerobatic flying, from when you have just gone solo, to helping you to get ready to take up the challenge of flying in aerobatic competitions.The book contains advice on how to set up your aircraft covering for example: centre of gravity position; engine/motor thrust lines; and control throws. It then takes you through the basics of aerobatic manoeuvres with both diagrams and words. Once over this initial phase, you will get much more detail about set up and trimming as well as how to fly large smooth manoeuvres ultimately taking account of the impact of the wind on the flight. The book contains a chapter on mini training schedules that allow you to build up your skills before describing how to fly the entry level aerobatic competition schedule used in Great Britain. Finally, I have included references to how you can access the resources to help you to progress from a practical flying viewpoint.Peter Jenkins has been flying model aircraft since he was a teenager but only entered aerobatic competitions just over 10 years ago. He has organised and run a number of introductory courses to coach newcomers to start and others to improve their aerobatics. He continues to organise aerobatic competitions for the GB National League and to act as Contest Director. He is a qualified instructor and examiner for the UK's largest model flying association, the BMFA of which he was a Director for 6 years. He has also held a private pilots' licence and flew and instructed on full size gliders for many years. Peter currently flies the FAI(P) schedule in domestic competitions in GB.
Download or read book RC Ground School written by Jim Mohan and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seldom has a long-established hobby been transformed more than radio controlled model aircraft flying has been with the development of light-weight, inexpensive electric power systems. After decades of dominance by glow and gas powered internal combustion engines, the hottest thing in RC flying today is electric powered model aircraft.Energy dense lithium polymer batteries, powerful brushless electric motors and the digital devices that control them have taken the radio control hobby by storm. With them has come a veritable tsunami of molded foam models of nearly every type of airplane imaginable. Warbirds like the P-51 Mustang, aerobatic aircraft like the Edge 540 and a variety of trainers similar to the Cessna 172 fill the online marketplaces and the shelves of local hobby shops around the world. Traditional models, too, are being developed or converted to fly with electric power systems.These models have their own body of knowledge. Instead of tinkering with the needle valve settings of internal combustion engines, now modelers are computing watts, managing amps, determining volts and shopping for components that maximize power without exceeding the electronic limits of their model's components.RC Ground School provides you with the information you need to get started in the exciting hobby of model aviation. You'll get answers to these and other questions:What should I consider in choosing a model aircraft?What kind of transmitter should I consider?Should I go with a ready-to-fly kit or an almost-ready-to-fly model?What if I need to teach myself to fly?How can I find an instructor?How do I operate my model safely?How do electric models work? Come join the thousands of other modelers enjoying this fun and interesting hobby. RC Ground School is the perfect tool to help you get started.Already flying glow or gas airplanes? Thinking about converting to or adding an electric model to your hangar? The second half of the book is a deeper dive into what makes up an electric model's power system and what you'll need to know to convert that old friend to electric power or at least keep up with the conversations at the field.

Excerpt: A radio-controlled model aircraft (often called RC aircraft or RC plane) is controlled remotely by a hand-held transmitter and a receiver within the craft. The receiver controls the corresponding servos that move the control surfaces based on the position of joysticks on the transmitter, which in turn affect the orientation of the plane. Flying RC aircraft as a hobby has been growing worldwide with the advent of more efficient motors (both electric and miniature internal combustion or jet engines), lighter...
