RC Jets – Fun And Pleasure

There can be nothing closer in excitement, compared to excitement and fun of flying real rc Jets. Most parents appreciate these rc Jets as they are regarded as ideal for their youngsters learning  experience and you’ll find numerous children who like flying these Jets just simply because they can enjoy for hours. When buying rc Jets from the market you are supposed to purchase several accessories that may be attached to your rc plane; a lot of people like attaching and experimenting new accessories attachments to their rc Jets. These kinds are developed for both novice and advanced fliers as it is possible to purchase rc Jets in wide variations of designs and sizes including nitro rc Jets, gas powered rc Jets and electric rc Jets.

You can start with light weight tiny rc airplanes which are effective for indoor flying, of course where no breakable objects are present. These are regarded as as best option for most novice users as they don't need to do any form of assembly function with the body. You’ll also be able to find a number of bigger versions available as electrical rc Jets, nitro rc Jets or gas powered rc Jets that often make an ideal option which you can enjoy in the open fields or grounds.

It is fun to have a collection of these rc Jets in wide variation of colors like a military aircraft with emblems printed on them. So, if you’re fond of playing out doors then it undoubtedly might not be difficult for you to fall in love with these rc Jets. The most effective choice is to attempt and get started with a couple of rc Jets which are straightforward in operations and not significantly complicated. So before you attempt flying gas powered rc Jets or nitro rc Jets it is essential that you purchase a beginners rc Jet that is not a lot high-priced and that may be the electric rc jet. Afterwards with some flying, you will get familiar with the controls only then you will be able to gradually go for better versions like gas powered rc Jets or nitro rc Jets. Keep in mind that even if you get familiar with the controls, nonetheless you will need a lot of practice before you are able to fly like an expert. Several practice sessions should usually be enough for exploring controls possibilities, so make an effort to fly for at least few hours in a week to understand all controls.

RC Jet Airplane Landing Procedure

In the last post we had some good time practicing smooth take offs, today we will land our flying airplane jets (They have been flying for so long :D). A great landing skill comes from practicing like any other skill but knowing the right steps to avoid any disaster surely helps in saving you from a crash landing. The term “good landing” is a relative term, relative to the conditions applied to the rc jet at the time of landing. Means if you land your plane smoothly in a absolutely good atmospheric conditions, it will still be called a good landing but relative to those very ideal conditions. On the other hand when the wind is very rough and atmospheric conditions are not good at all but you still manage to land your remote controlled airplane jet safely without any damage or any bad maneuver, this a good landing relative to those bad conditions. Anyhow to master the skill you still need to be practicing lot and this post is definitely going to help you:
Making a Good Approach:
If you can get your rc plane approach the runway straight with right altitude your landing will be darn easy, so the key element is approaching the runway at altitude which while descending your rc plane comes to zero while you still have good length of runway in your hand. The following steps will make it more digestible:
1. You need to see the runway where your rc airplane will land, get to the center line facing wind.
2. You need to mark a reference for your rc airplane to start descending altitude. It may be a bush, tree etc
3. Make sure that the reference point you choose is located before the quarter length of the runway so you have good length available for your rc model airplane to land.
4. Judge the appropriate altitude required for your rc airplane to descend from your reference point, on the runway making an approximate angle of 35 degree.
5. Make your rc jet or airplane aligned from the center line of the runway before it crosses the reference point.
6. Higher wind will require lower descent and vise e versa.
7. Winds gusting from right or left of your center line will require correction of placing your rc plane from opposite side.



There is a misconception of landing rc model airplanes with the wind not facing the wind instead. This approach makes the radio controlled airplane especially jets off the course because of their speed. The factors which require corrections like wind direction, speed are always to be taken into account. The rc airplane jets landing steps stated above will certainly help you polish your skills of making a good landing, you just need to focus and keep the factors in mind when practically doing it.

Happy flying

Gas RC Jets - Pros and Cons

Gas RC Jets:

The post before the last one had me make a promise with all of you that the coming one will be about gas rc jets, so here it is. In the last post we have already discussed about the gas rc jet engines, i.e. turbinejet and other kinds which are used in gas remote controlled jetplanes. In today’s post I will only make my focus to gas remote controlled jets, not gas engines. Like the post earlier than the last one, we put all our focus to electric side and discussed all the positive sides of them, today its gas remote controlled jets turn and unlike the concept which was developed in the electric remote controlled jet post that gas powered jets have all the disadvantages attached and who are the smart guys out there who even try them; this concept about gas powered planes is going to change because these are the ones which are called veteran in the rc jet hobby and nobody can get the crown away from them. There are jet properties which electric remote controlled jets don’t have and those features and properties make gas rc jets a hard core choice for the enthusiast hobbyist. Let’s talk about what they have to offer: first the cons.

Gas RC jets- The disadvantage side:

The new comers to remote controlled airplanes hobby always make gas rc jets look at a disadvantageous side, though it’s not that gas powered planes in general do not have any but it will only be logic if we see them in the right perspective. Gas rc jets have complaints of being noisy, yes they are, but they also give more power than the electric ones. The maintenance of these gas types is also a concern for some flyers, well I don’t think one who doesn’t want to take care of his stuff in whatever field he is has anything good going for him there, individuals like these are better advised to leave the hobby and start flying paper planes . Yes I know gas rc jets give smoke, you have to clean the exhaust, change the engine oil etc etc. One rather disadvantage for beginners is that nitro planes are expensive, they are expensive to buy and expensive to keep… and for a beginner it is a big No. Beginners must get the slower electric ones first and once they are all done with it, then they should try the gas rc jets because once the gas rc jet is broken you as a beginner gets a broken heart and a hole in your pocket. You will require a full scale repair kit and an indepth working knowledge of gas engines in order to maintain them and repair when they get broke. Gas rc jets possess a real threat of fire when they crash because of the fuel they use. Gas rc jets use A-1, which is kerosene and is highly flammable. Despite of all these disadvantages, gas remote controlled powered jets have something to offer which electric ones do not have in them, the advantages are here:

Advantage side of Gas RC Jets:

Are also called nitro remote controlled airplanes, these are very close to the real ones out there. The things which you must take into account are that for a nitro remote controlled airplane you will have to deal it as like owning a real airplane. You will have to fuel it and then refuel it (which requires money), change the engine oil for keeping it clean, tweak it adjust its parts to get the optimum. I hear some of you are saying hell that is a lot of work to do. Well I would say it is good for people who like doing things from their hands; I think all of us who are in this hobby are the ones who like to do things with their hands, it is possible that you don’t know it unless you do it. I actually like building something with my hands and get my hands dirty, but once it is repaired or made, I really enjoy it and I hope it does the same for alike in this hobby.

Gas rc jets have longer duration of flight as compared to the electric powered, nitro rc airplanes once fueled can fly for hours, where electric ones only can last for half hour or so. Though electric powered are now coming with longer battery times and with brushless motors the loss of current is very less and so their flight time has increased but they still can’t beat the duration of gas rc jets.
The factor that gas remote controlled aircrafts are the stamp for a hobbyist that he or she is really into the hobby if they possess one. This authenticity factor is what makes gas rc jet a must have for all of those who want a more realistic experience of flying. Their engine sounds like the full scale passenger carrying jet, they operate and fly like them too. They have much more torque and speed than the electric ones could have ever. Yet another advantage to be used in gas rc jet races and for the thrill which comes out of fast machines. A good finely tuned gas remote controlled jet can go more than 200 miles an hour. Now that really thrills and if you remember what brought us in this hobby? Yes exactly… the speed.

I believe all the advantages which I have described above are enough for those of you who were reluctant to have a try for a gas rc jet but again you must learn the skills on a slower electric airplane and a electric rc jet one before going for a gas rc jet. It is all worth taking the hassle of cleaning and maintaining your gas rc jet when this pretty machine gives you the thrill of speed while flying it.

You just have to take care of few things and sure your gas rc jet will never break on you. Keep the it and its engine as cleaned as possible, dirt is bad for everything moving and gas powered planes have many moving and rotating and spinning parts. Do a little maintenance before and after the flight, the maintenance procedures come with every plane and are easy to follow. Change the engine oil regularly for keeping your remote controlled jets clean from inside, tune the engine for better performance and longer life.

Happy flying!

RC Jet - Beginner Basics

Imagine owning a toy RC Jet which can speed in excess to 300 miles per hour!! It really thrills, huh?

RC jets and RC helicopters have become very popular in past few years as a hobby, thanks to the advancing technology. Now you can have a model airplane which can fly using only electricity but that lacks that extra speed element.

In remote controlled planes world, RC jet is the most exciting and thrilling remote controlled airplane one can have. RC jets are available in different shapes, sizes and types of engines but before going to have your hands on a RC jet you need to understand that flying a RC jet is a skill which needs to be learned first. Since these toys are really fast, beginners should have some cleaning of hands on propeller driven RC planes or through an instructor. A slow pusher jet is recommended for novices.

If you are reading this far that means you definitely have an interest in this hobby and want to fly RC jet! This blog will certainly help you in learning the basics to get started and later the tips and tricks of pros. Fist thing first; you need to know the different types of RC jets and their engines those are available in the market. First let’s take a look at how the Remote Control works:

A remote control works on three basic elements the transmitter, the receiver and the servos. Sophisticated electronics and electronic speed controllers have now taken the controlling of an RC airplane to the next level and convert these toys into hi-tech flying machines.

The types of RC Jets

RC Pusher Jet:

This kind is slower, inexpensive and easy in use. The aerodynamic design gives it a great maneuverability that makes this kind to be loved. It has a propeller dead center in the back of the body that propels it all though the air.

Ducted Fan RC Jet:

The most popular kind and an easy going too. Since the propeller and engine are located inside the duct, makes it a lot less dangerous. Ducted fan jets have smooth operation, very quiet and top of all require less maintenance.

Turbine Ducted Powered RC Jet:

In other words when you own this kind, this is the closest you can come to owning a real jet, unless you have a plan to buy a real jet one day :). Turbine ducted engines run and sound like a real jet, they use real jet fuel too. This type has the ultimate flying experience, if you want a realistic taste of jet flying, this is for you. Don’t forget that you need experience of flying RC airplanes of slower kind before you have the joy of flying this machine. Since these jets involve great speeds, they are really fast, so while you are flying it you are dealing with a potential weapon, you must know what you are dealing with or otherwise you will do yourself a monetary loss by destroying it additionally you can hurt yourself and others too. It is like car driving, you need to know how to drive a regular kind of car before you can grab the driving seat of a formula-one.

Some basic maintenance guidelines are necessary to keep your first jet rolling. Your RC Jet will love you for keeping it in a maintained condition and will never fail on you. Always use a high quality fuel with right amount of oil. Make sure that your RC jet engine remains properly tuned cleaned and kept in a cool dry place. These machines have high speeds, avoid too much use in one flight, this may over heat your engine or motor and fail.

Before I finish my post I want to add that RC Jets can be so extreme fun that they get dangerous while flown near people because of the flammability of fuel and their speed. Update for detailed information on real rc jet engine visit the post types of rc jet engine.

A special treat of watching this maiden flight of rc jet tornado.




Happy Flying :)
