Radio-controlled (RC) aircraft are model airplanes or helicopters that are controlled remotely using a transmitter. These aircraft are equipped with a receiver that picks up signals from the transmitter, allowing the operator to maneuver the aircraft in the air. RC aircraft come in various sizes and types, including gliders, drones, and scale models of real planes. RC aircraft can be powered by electric motors or internal combustion engines, depending on the model. They are popular among hobbyists and enthusiasts for recreational flying, racing, and aerial photography. Many RC aircraft are designed for easy assembly and operation, making them accessible to beginners and experienced pilots alike.
