Getting Started In RC Airplanes
In the first time to know more in rc airplanes, we suggest you to visit this link,or this, this will not as difficult as you think. After you know some simple things called rc model airplanes, let’s we going forward to take some great thing to do. Overall, the basic thing for the beginner rc model airplanes pilot is some thing have to do in the ground, just like you follow the aviation ground training to get you PPL (Private Pilot Licence). Here i’m just want to know you some thing that i know in the world of rc model airplanes, as i know, that i make it in this simple chapter.
Get Ready For Ground School
In this sections you will be traned to take control of your ability, this mean that you will doing some thing that might be happens in the real of your flying rc model airplanes. In this sections you will be introduce to rc model simulator ,as your ground teacher. With this method you will be face the monitor and take control the virtual rc airplanes model with your rc transmitter. You will be know more about the rc model airplanes it self, such as knowing about the rc fuselage, the rc wings, and many more…
Fuselage Section
Lets talk about the fuselage section first. This is the main structure of the aircraft to which everything else is attached.
Wings
The wing provides most of the lift needed to fly the airplane. As the wings move through the air, the shape of the wing causes the air that flows over the top of the wing to move much faster than the air flowing below it. As a result, less pressure is created on top of the wing and more pressure is created below the wing. A higher pressure underneath the wing pushes the wing upward creating lift.
Flight Control Surfaces
Just like the real airplanes, models depend on control surfaces to maneuver and fly, the basics being the elevators, ailerons and rudder. Some of the more sophisticated ones might have spoilers and flaps and leading-edge wing flaps. Here are some of the control surface that you must know and familiar with it=
Elevators - control nose up or nose down attitude (pitch axis) of the airplane. This, in a nutshell, is how it works. When the pilot pitches the nose up (pulling back on the stick), the wing angle is changed as related to the airplanes forward movement. As the angle of the wing is increased (This wing angle is known as the angle of attack (AOA)), more of the lower wing surface is revealed to the oncoming air and an increase in engine power will cause the airplane to climb. Increasing AOA too much without a corresponding power increase will result in a stall situation.
Ailerons – These are located on the trailing edge of the wings near the wingtips. These surfaces will roll the model to the left or to the right. If the aileron stick is moved to the right, the model will roll to the right because less lift is produced on the right wing. This can be explained as follows. When a right roll input is intoduced, the right aileron will move up into the airstream and the left aileron will move down. Therefore the airflow rushing over the right wing no longer flows smoothly, creating less lift on that wing causing the model to roll to the right. It works the same way for the left wing.
Rudder – Rudder inputs will control nose left or nose right attitude (yaw axis) of the model airplane. If left or right rudder inputs are introduced, the nose of the plane will move to the left or to the right.
Rudder inputs are used to counter the effect known as adverse yaw when turning the model. This is the tendency of the right extended (down) aileron to produce drag on a left hand turn causing the model to want to turn to the right.
After you know about the basic control surface you will be know about the Aerodynamics. In this section you will know abopt some thign that make flying your rc model airplanes.
Aerodynamics – The four aerodynamic forces at play on a model are lift, drag, thrust and gravity.
1. Lift – The result of airflow over the curved upper and lower wing surfaces. It is the force that keeps the model in the air.
2. Gravity - This is the force exerted on the model that pulls it down.
3. Thrust - Thrust pushes or pulls the model forward.
4. Drag - the opposite of thrust, drag is created by the friction of model against the air as it moves forward.
That are some of the basic ground traning that will make you more familiar with your rc model airplanes. You just see and practice some thing new, that you have to know.
