The Skill Of Remote Control Model That You Must Know

Remote control model is a kind of entertainment, mainly divided into two parts, the remote control and model. Player mainly through remote control from electromagnetic wave (sometimes for infrared, but quite rare), driving or flying control model. 

If you research remote control model deeply, it is a deep and complex world. Assembly, maintenance, handmade and handling of all kinds of remote control are very complicated. Some remote control model is children's toys, of course not be so complicated to operate. But the real professional players playing remote control model, all aspects are quite profound. For beginners, I'd like to give some suggestion. 

RC Helicopter

For thr first time, the structure of the coaxial sculls is the best choice to the rc helicopter, the stability of this structure is the best, the speed is slow, the trainer is a helicopter! Also you can choose the traditional small level model of the main rotor + tail rotor structure, speed faster, airspace, but as far as possible, choosing the stability helicopter.

How much empty flight time (time) is mainly determined by the power system. Such as the motor power of the electric helicopter using size and carry the battery voltage and capacity, engine oil displacement of the helicopter and carry fuel volume. General electric or oil on a single charge or the blank time after refueling in 10 to 20 minutes or so. One is energy weight limit, the other is also considered to avoid the pilot lots of concentration for a long time transition fatigue caused by the manipulation of the error. 

Due to the higher the height, the lower the air density, so the helicopter flight level are generally much lower than that of fixed wing aircraft, even so have distance is much larger than our visual control and remote control distance, so it can be for the aircraft's flight altitude and flight distance is the distance from the security of the remote control equipment remote control and visual range. Form special smaller aircraft usually flying height can reach more than 20 meters (about 5 to 6 floors). 

The plane hard to control, there are two big reasons:

1. The stability of the helicopter can't be compared with the fixed wing aircraft. Besides the structure of the coaxial sculls again helicopter, there is no a helicopter can not control condition for a long time and stable floating in the sky (usually within 10 to 20 seconds off balance and fell to the ground), so you have to keep a spirit highly centralized control! 2. Due to the beginners in the first place has not been formed in the brain to control the direction of a reflex, so under the plane in a flight attitude, often through the transmitter to the plane error motion commands, and even the brain a blank, and the plane can't give enough time to correct the pilot, and fell to the ground. As long as the correct constantly practice can be easily manipulated. In the early also can be finished with the help of a computer simulator practice.

RC Helicopter

pitch

Pitch refers to the helicopter rotor or fixed wing of the propeller rotates 360 degrees, up or walk forward distance (in theory). Is just like a screw, screw you after a circle, can the length of screw in. The greater the pitch forward distance, whereas the smaller! However it is difficult to measure the size of the pitch, so general fixed wing aircraft using the same pitch labeled on the propeller of the diameter and the size of the pitch (mostly in the unit in inches), and in order to facilitate the appropriate engine systems. The vast majority of fixed pitch of helicopter blade is generally designed for a certain level of customization, so only indicate the diameter. Variable pitch helicopter can be very easily by measuring the Angle of attack of the blade Angle (wind) size to reflect the size of the pitch, and change.

hover

Hovering helicopter is peculiar to a way of flight is also the charm of helicopter flight! Just as its name implies is almost still stay in the air of a helicopter in height, which can accomplish common fixed wing aircraft was unable to complete the task! For beginner friends must begin from hovering flight of practice, because of the helicopter takeoff, landing, and other action is the beginning and end of the flight need to first enter the hovering flight status. So the hover became the base of helicopter flight practice subject!

paddle

Refers to two or more than paddle blade when rotating, are not at the same rotating plane held high! Blade tip like with open mouth of the scissors. Paddle is due to two or more different cause of blade pitch (lift). As long as all the tip of it with a different mark and with one of them as a benchmark, then observe the other oar the rotation is located in the top or bottom of the benchmark blade, can the other oar pitch (Angle of attack) are fine-tuned to watch again, such as observation held high two rotary surface which is eliminate the OARS. Double-screw can cause strong vibration, is must be eliminated!

gyroscope

Gyroscope is used to balance the direction of the helicopter, like fixed wing of the rudder. It can automatically control the helicopter in the transmitter was given direction instruction, keeping the original direction! Because it is a tiny devices with high sensitive sensor and highly automated, so its price is relatively high.

The spin

Spin is the body rotate 360 degrees centered on the propeller shaft. If there is a spin, so there are two possible. One, high-speed rotating to the left or right, the rudder no role, is the reverse, gyroscope swappable gyroscope reverse switch on the body. If not reverse switch, can be done by reverse installation fixed gyroscope; Two, head to the left (main blade clockwise models) slower spin.

Electronic governor

Electric helicopter power is provided by all kinds of motor, the power output size is determined by the rotation speed of the motor, and the speed of the motor is controlled by the electronic governor. RC model control steps are given as follows: the discretion of the transmitter throttle position through radio signals by plane receiver to receive after decoding, transmitted to a in the gas channel receiver on the socket electronic governor 3 core signal input, governor according to signal to determine the speed at the other end that how much power to the motor of electric supply distribution, to have the function of adjusting speed of the motor. We can put the governor simple as an adjustable resistor (actually more complicated).

I hope this help the novice to quick mastery skills to play model planes and more know the model helicopter,play it better. 

Remote Control Helicopter Flying Skills

Do you still remember you play the rc helicopter at first? Now I want to  introduce some tips for the new hand to do it better.

RC Helicopter

First, the novice generally starts from the entry-helicopter. Coaxial sculls helicopter 3 channel and 3.5 channel is generally classified as a toy helicopter, the operation is very simple, easy to control, adults and children can play. Model level is generally divided into 4-channel and 6 -channel. Some friends may not know what is meant of channel, in fact, as long as you know, the more the number of channels means that more aircraft can play tricks on the line, the general novice four- sufficient.
Secondly, which is better for the oars and sculls. 4 channel helicopter generally have oars and sculls, because the different structure of the helicopter, of course, control the degree of difficulty is also different, in general, difficult to control oars, sculls easier, but now on the market mainstream are single paddle, especially if you want to play 6-channel, then a single paddle is preferred, if you just want to play, then sculls more appropriate.
Finally, the novice choose the model helicopter. If the entry-level, four-channel sculls nine eagles have several okay, of course, veterans feel boring, sculls did not challenge, try a single paddle it.
The note for the novice:
Remote control helicopter is not a toy, it 's a real helicopter flying with the same principle. Novice in the operation must first do the following:
1. Skilled and remote control functions to keep in mind the role of each of the operating lever with the fine-tuning.
2. Before departure to check whether your remote control battery into the battery and determines the adequacy of the helicopter, spacious venue choice to avoid the crowd.
3. Open the remote control power to check the power indicator ( light ) and to determine the right control lever ( throttle ) below the most. Then turn on the helicopter fuselage power ( pay attention to do not oparet the remote immediately after the power is turned on operating the remote control, the plane does not move for about 5 seconds, to ensure normal detection gyro lock.
4. First stop about 3 meters away from the helicopter 's distance training, and to ensure alignment of your helicopter tail (if the helicopter in front of your nose, your operation is the reverse ). Slowly push the throttle lever to let the helicopter propellers spin up, high-speed rotation of the propeller driven lift helicopter slowly rises, not the beginning of the operation the helicopter ground higher than one meter distance from the time fly, learning to control the direction of flight of the helicopter in the process. If it appears to be slowly losing control when the throttle lever to pull down the aircraft slowly to the ground.
5. If you want to practice the process is more stable, you can use the remote control helicopter training aircraft, training aircraft can effectively reduce the loss rate of the crashes during practice remote control helicopter, as well as help you learn as quickly as possible remote control helicopter flying skills.
6. Remote control helicopter in practice often remain completely parallel with the ground, showing the landing attitude perpendicular to the ground, so that the body slightly forward when landing approach glide landing , the tail of the first aircraft to avoid falling.

RC Helicopter

RC Helicopters basic structural features:
1. the front hood of the chassis for easy commissioning and maintenance.
2. six-way remote control receiver system, remote distance, if you want to play fixed wing, you can add a receiver, and achieve a controlled multi-value 3,3800 KV brushless motor, 25A brushless electronic speed controller, power more full.
4. piezoelectric gyroscope, better performance, stable flight, so you handy.
5. 120 degrees ECCPM control system, plus four high-performance digital servo, more responsive, more precise movements, can complete a simple 3D stunts.
6. 450 class helicopter, the structure is relatively complex and need to have some basic debugging maintenance or flying around with a certain flight experience led by the Friends of the lower die before flight experience.
7. large-capacity battery, longer flight time.
8. except for the remote control switch to achieve aerobatic stunts, adjustable pitch switch, gyro lock switch, sensitivity switch, the coach switch, it also can simulate functions.
9. in addition to the above features, the remote control right hand throttle interchangeable, applies more broadly.
That is what i want introduce to you, hope it can help you to play it better.

Beginners Tips to Helicopters

Here are some quick tips for beginners to RC Helicopters:

RC Helicopter

1.Always hold your blade grips tightly when you start your helicopter. If the engine starts at a higher rpm than you expect and you don't have a hold of it right away you may not be able to stop it. This can happen if you forget to reconnect the throttle link after maintenance or forget to turn the rx on.
2.If you do start your engine and it is near full power the first thing you want to do is pull the fuel line off the carb, then kill the throttle on the tx. You want to get the RPM's down asap to avoid damaging the clutch liner.
3.If you have a radio with a lot of switches, make it so that when you start your engine all the switches be one direction. For example, when all my switches are flipped back / up and the throttle is all the way down, my helicopter is ready to be started.
4.Always tighten / check the mission critical screws before you fly, especially the ones that control the tail.
5.Be very careful with those damn e-rings, or they may either fly across the room or drop into the heli and disappear for ever.
6.When you crash, inventory your heli and make sure you picked up all the pieces, because they're expensive as hell and you can never buy one part of a set.
7.Tilt the heli back after each flight to let the oil pond out of the muffler base, or it may end up in the seat of your car.
8.Make sure your throttle linkages are secure and set to idle before starting your engine, or it may try and get you!
9.If you have one of those short glow starters, don't forget to take it off after you start the engine. Those things get hot when you try and remove them later, and the battery dies too, so that's your last flight if you forget. I tied a plastic ribbon to mine, so that I could see it hanging down if I forgot. I think I need a bigger ribbon though.
10.Those foam blade holders that cost 3.50 aren't just to keep the blades from rotating all over, they preserve the life of those mixing levers connected above the mast, which otherwise get "stretched" out and cause slop
11.Don't forget to put the frequency crystal back into the tx after you've been using it with the CSM Simulator,(since the tx batteries last 10 times longer without the crystal installed) it's a real drag to go to the site and just as you're ready to start-er-up you notice you don't have a crystal in your tx.
12.Secure the Rx's frequency crystal with some tape. It's not unheard of this crystal backing out from vibrations causing loss of control.
13.Speaking of using the CSM simulator: if you use a different flight mode with your tx when playing the sim, don't forget to switch back to the "real-world" model before you try and fly!
14.If you're using the CSM HH gyro (and some others that work the same) you need to turn on the tx before the receiver or the gyro will not activate!
15.If you notice slop in the tail that didn't used to be there, land and find out why it's there now, or you may find yourself practicing a pirouetting autorotation.
16.Read the WHOLE manual, just because it looks done doesn't mean it will keep flying for long.

RC Helicopter

17.Less lock-tite is more. Don't get the screws all dripping with goo!
18.When the machine shakes very hard, and the blades appear to be balanced, check to see if the clutch shoes didn't snap off, or that the blade grips are not too tight and other things like that.
19.When you have a bearing or something that needs to go into or onto something else, but it won't slide on, consider heating the outside thing and or cooling the inside thing. The cold will make it contract and heat make expand.
20.If you get shakes really bad with training gear on and you're sure your blades are balanced and shafts straight, try chaning the length of the training gear. There are a few things that will affect the resonance frequency of your helicopter: 1)Weight and weight placement 2)Size and lengths 3)RPM 4)Shape. So when in doubt, change one of those variables and see what happens.
21.When you are flying with wind, remember that you'll need more power on the down-wind turn (when the wind becomes with you) because while it may look like you have forward flight, really you are just hovering. Hovering takes a LOT more power than forward flight which benifits from transitional lift, so be prepared for it to sink faster than usual in a turn with no wind.
22.Be sure to read through the "Crash Log" on this web site, it will give you an idea about what kinds of things cause crashes so you can look out and try to avoid doing the same things that others did.
i hope this can help you.
