Electric Remote Controlled Airplanes

...So why choose electric remote control airplanes...

In the world of R/C, you essentially have two engine options - electric and fuel-based.

The two main factors to look at are the price of the plane and the skill level required to master the plane.

Price:   Electric remote control airplanes can cost significantly less than their gas or nitro counterparts. Although you can purchase kits that allow you to build your plane and insert your own radio equipment, most electric planes come ready-to-run with electronics already intstalled;

Skill level:   Is also a concern when deciding whether to buy electric or nitro. Some things that factor into the skill level of a plane are its speed, the number of channels used, and the construction of the plane. Most electric airplanes fly slower than nitro ones. Slower speeds give the pilot more time to react and make flight corrections should the plane do something unexpected.

If you are already an accomplished flyer, don't write off electric R/C planes. Electric remote control airplanes aren't just for beginners. Today's electric planes are available in larger scale models offering motors that can sustain flight speeds over 60 mph and some are capable of handling all of the channel options normally seen on big-scale gas kit models.
