Remote Control Airplanes
There are few hobbies that are as much fun as Remote Control Airplanes. It has been just a little over 100 years since the Wright Brothers had the first powered plane flight and today this art of flight can easily be had by hobbyists with just a little time and a little knowledge.
The hobby of RC Airplanes is an interesting one that has lots of options and opportunities. And you don't have to spend a whole lot of money to enjoy it or at least begin with it. I have some tips, guides, videos and helpful articles that will get you enjoying this wonderful hobby. Beginners Guide to RC Airplanes - A First Plane: The Megatech Night Flyer

Adventuring into a new hobby
I started on a new RC airplane. This one is a Japanese Zero. It has a wingspan of three feet and uses a powerful brushless engine. This is an upgrade to the Megatech Night Flyer 2. See more about this airplane and see information about how planes fly and how controllers work and the concepts of Yaw, Pitch and Roll here: The Japanese Zero RC Airplane and how RC Airplanes work - And here is a video I made showing this airplane coming out of the box and some short footage of me launching it off.
If you are looking for an inexpensive way to immediately begin in this hobby I have some recommendations for you for airplanes that can be purchased at Amazon.com. Edmund Scientifics also has some nice RC airplanes.
Megatech Night Flyer 2 Channel Illuminated Remote Control Airplane
The Megatech Night Flyer is an inexpensive and easy to start out with airplane. I have a complete tutorial on this airplane located here. I bought this plane, put it together and took it out for some flights. It is a nice way to start out in the hobby without having complexity or expense. It isn't a super duper airplane, it is just something inexpensive to get you started. I have a separate webpage and tutorial about this airplane
Variety of Planes and other Flying Vehicles
One of the best things about the hobby of model airplanes is the wide variety of styles and models that are available. Just about every kind of airplane that has been made in real size can also be had in model size. This includes military fighter planes and even helicopters. Some planes like the Pitts Model shown here are specially designed for in the air acrobatics.
