Model airplanes are miniature replicas of real aircraft, designed for display or flying. They can be made from various materials, including plastic, wood, and metal. Model airplanes come in different sizes and types, ranging from simple kits for beginners to complex models for experienced hobbyists. Many enthusiasts enjoy building and flying these models as a hobby. There are two main categories: radio-controlled (RC) airplanes, which can be flown remotely, and static models, which are meant for display only. Model airplane clubs and competitions also exist, allowing hobbyists to share their passion and skills with others.
