The hobby of radio control planes now includes a wide variety of aircraft, some of which are quite advanced and sophisticated.
One of the more extreme of these specialized flying machines is the RC helicopter. DIY guest David Payne, who has been in the hobby of radio control planes for five years, pilots one of these amazing models.
The model utilizes the same functions and aerodynamics as those of a real helicopter. It can hover and be piloted to move in any direction in three-dimensional space -- up, down, backward, forward, diagonal or flipped upside-down. It took David about a year to learn to fly this sophisticated RC craft.
Other advanced RC aircraft include aerobatic planes (figure A), scale-model military fighters (figure B) and the lightweight glider-styled Wingo (TM) (figure C) among many others.
