Radio-controlled flying involves the use of small aircraft, such as model airplanes or drones, that are operated remotely using a handheld transmitter. These aircraft are equipped with a receiver that picks up signals from the transmitter, allowing the operator to control their movements, including altitude, direction, and speed. This hobby can be enjoyed by people of all ages and often includes various types of aircraft, such as gliders, helicopters, and multirotors. Enthusiasts may participate in competitions or simply fly for fun in designated areas, ensuring safety and compliance with local regulations.
