Radio-controlled ship models are some of the most popular summer toys. During this period, families either go on vacation to the sea or simply try to spend more time on the rivers outside the city or city beaches. During such holidays with children will be indispensable radio-controlled boat or motorboat. The pleasure of playing with these devices for a child is provided for several days.

To date, radio-controlled models have erased all boundaries! They conquered the water, air and land elements.

Get radio-controlled ship model is now easier than ever, and it can be done not only in summer, but at any time of year, preparing in advance for the vacation season. If you still want to buy a radio-controlled boat as a gift for a child, note that now they are sold in large quantities, and you certainly want to choose a quality model. Of course, first of all, you should focus on the quality of the model, and also take into account the age of the child who will play with it.

For very young captains there are simple to operate models that do not gather a lot of speed, and even a small child can cope with the model.

There are also many more serious models that adults are happy to play with, as well as using them for collecting. These high-speed radio-controlled ship models are copies of the original ships, boats and boats that do wonders on the water. Please note that all “vital organs” should be very reliably protected from water ingress.

What are the advantages of radio-controlled boats?

These water models demonstrate:

  • high speeds;
  • excellent dynamics;
  • excellent mobility.

And on top of that they guarantee an unforgettable time.

A very fascinating and unconventional ship model is a radio-controlled submarine. The real joy of all around evokes the process of its immersion in the water.

Characteristics, basic parameters of radio-controlled ship models

Many ask: what is the top speed of submarines? Firstly, it depends on the model. For example, the models equipped with the 550th electric motor reach approximately 24 km/hour. Engines with higher power (e.g. 700) accelerate the same boat up to 32 km/h. A sport model with an internal combustion engine can reach up to 50 km/h.

Radio-controlled shipmodels, with internal combustion engine, have greater speed on water. Well and of course, special shipmodels intended for racing on water can reach more than 80 km/h. We recommend from the very beginning not to buy such a model until you have mastered enough of the necessary skills.

Controlling a radio-controlled boat is intuitive simple and does not require any special skills. In this it is very similar to controlling a car model. Also, as it has only two channels of rudder and speed control, in contrast to the aircraft models, where the channels can be six.

In addition, as a rule there are not many obstacles on the water, so you can freely ride your boat on the waves without worrying about obstacles.

All radio-controlled boats and boats are divided into “electric” (that is, equipped with an electric motor) and ship models with internal combustion engine (with internal combustion engine).

The electric motor provides good dynamics on water, by the way of maneuvering the majority of radio-controlled ship models are controlled with a keel.

Vessels with internal combustion engine should be singled out separately. These are high-tech devices, capable of high speed.

The high-speed ship or the pleasure boat on radio-control, equipped with an internal combustion engine, open up wide possibilities of management, high-speed course, which gives great pleasure to fans of ship-model sports.

Such a boat on the radio transmitter is equipped with an effective rudder in the form of a plate partially submerged in water. Thanks to the turns of the hull, the boat moves in the right direction.

All important drive and power components (whether electric motors with batteries or internal combustion engines with fuel) are housed in a waterproof compartment, all electronics are protected by waterproof couplings, preventing the possibility of water ingress in case of overturning. Many models have all major components installed, nothing needs to be glued! Large and powerful radio-controlled ship models can easily compete with the original of these models, because some of them develop a maximum speed of 50 km/h!

There is no limit to perfection

When you become the owner of a ship model, you will immediately understand why you do not want to run it in the bathtub (for quiet drifting), but, on the contrary, you want to overcome the huge expanses of water! Having mastered the basic skills of boat management, with time there is a desire to upgrade the boat model and add power, replacing or installing more powerful motors.

When choosing a boat you should pay attention to the type of engine. The easiest to operate are devices with electric motors. They are suitable for both experienced and beginners. If you plan to buy a radio-controlled boat, equipped with a gauge engine, you should take into account that it requires a certain care (cleaning, adjustment, maintenance).

Play with this toy will be fun to all from little to great! Everyone who takes the remote control in his hands can feel the excitement. The main thing that is necessary when starting a radio-controlled boat is to be careful, be careful and watch out for large boats, fishermen, birds, and swimmers.

Manufacturers of radio-controlled boats, boats and yachts

Today, manufacturers of radio-controlled models offer a wide range of models for water, including oversized and mobile ship models, intuitive easy to control boats and majestic ship models. There are also more technically complicated ship models. These boat models will please fans and professionals of shipmaking.

Radio-controlled ship models: types of equipment

Among other things, it is worth remembering that the models are completed in three modifications:

  • ARR (almost-ready-to-run) almost ready to move;
  • RTR (ready-to-run) ready to move;
  • KIT kit parts for assembly.

So, first of all, you need to define for yourself, whether you want to be a ship captain from the first minutes or to organize a small “shipyard” and work as a designer and assembler of ships.

How to choose a radio-controlled boat and a boat

Buying this kind of model, first of all it is necessary to determine the purpose for which tasks you need a boat, a boat or a ship.

You need to understand that launching in a pool is one thing, and in a pond with algae is another.

Radio-controlled boats and boats for the account of a special shape of the hull will have a speed higher (more than 40 km / h) and excellent maneuverability. K same they have the great advantage of engine cooling, which occurs at the expense of water supply. Some types of ship models work from the battery, and for radio equipment you will need to buy additional batteries. Even if the boat model is not used, it can be placed on the stand in the room, and used as a bench model for decorating the room.

Radio-controlled ship models will make a great company for kids. These are the toys that might be of interest regardless of age. Occupation c radio-controlled technology can permanently captivate the child, who will c irresistible delight to play c boat or boat, watching the toy dissipates on the waves. The game provides a tangible spirit of excitement, dynamics and a pleasant atmosphere filled with excitement, pleasure and a sea of positive emotions. Radio-controlled boats and boats for children have a bright attractive color, stylish design and decoration, details of high quality and durable materials. The model will serve your child, delighting him and taking him into the next game for a very long time. Besides, such a vehicle may be a good way to distract from everyday life and problems. Children’s radio-controlled boats are good because playing with them is not only very interesting, but also very useful, because the navigator develops concentration, reaction rate, coordination and imagination. As for imagination, a kid, inventing a plot for his game and some interesting and amusing journey for a new toy, also develops his creativity and imagination.

The hit of hidden and obvious desires of men of all ages in recent years radio-controlled helicopter. What is the reason for the success of this toy among children and adults? First of all, the combination of innovative technology with the ease of control. The ability to remotely control the flight of an elegant model, as close to the prototype – the real embodiment of childhood dreams of every adult who still has a child in him. Children as a helicopter on the remote control leads to an indescribable delight.

Modern market radio-controlled models filled with a variety of options: radio-controlled helicopters differ significantly in price and technical parameters: size, type and engine power, complexity of controls, design features and other characteristics. This allows you to choose exactly the model that suits you best.

All radio-controlled models of helicopters are divided into the following groups:

  • Mini helicopters miniature budget radio-controlled helicopters, which can be launched both at home and outdoors;
  • Helicopters for beginners radio-controlled models of the medium price category with simple enough to cope with a child can easily;
  • Helicopters for 3D pilotage innovative helicopter models, capable of moving along complex paths;
  • Multi-rotor quadcopters (quadcopters), six- and eight-rotor flying models are not just toys, but multifunctional radio-controlled devices, capable of carrying cargo and shooting video.

Mini helicopters

Mini helicopters are versatile lightweight helicopters that can be launched in the house, apartment or outdoors. The limitation for launching them in the street is the presence of wind, in windy weather is better not to risk it. Miniature radio helicopter control a great gift for a child, he is safe and easy to manage. Mini helicopters are controlled via an infrared port that limits the control radius of 10 meters. Simple two-channel mini-models can move vertically up / down and horizontally forward / backward. More complex models (three-channel) can also move left/right. Mini helicopters are sold fully assembled and ready to work.

Helicopters for beginners

Medium-sized remote-controlled helicopters also belong to the medium price category. They usually have not too complicated three- and four-channel control system. The number of channels determines the movement in different planes, as well as additional functions, such as “gas”. The flight radius of such helicopters is about 100 m. They can be launched at any time of year, but preference should still be given to dry windless weather. Durable and stable radio-controlled helicopters for beginners will allow each beginner to feel like an experienced pilot.

Helicopters for 3D piloting

Any model of helicopter for the highest 3D piloting has at least 6-channel control. Such helicopters are larger and more technically advanced. They are able to make quite maneuverable movements in flight, but their control is very sensitive to any action of the pilot, so to cope with them a beginner will be problematic. Such a helicopter can no longer be classified as a toy is a serious high-tech multi-functional unit, requiring a certain skill piloting.

Multi-copters

Multi-copters are special radio models of helicopters equipped with four (quadcopters), six (hexacopters) or eight (octocopters) propellers, which makes them stable in flight, reliable and comfortable. Multicopters exist in a variety of functional variations from unpretentious children’s toys to serious equipment, designed for aerial photography and transportation of small loads. Stable flight characteristics are provided by a large number of propellers, the more it is considerable, the more reliable and controllable model.

Helicopter models for different purposes, ages and skill levels can become not only a favorite pastime, but also serve professional purposes.

Radio-controlled helicopter toy is suitable not only for children but also for adults. The line when a simple toy becomes a serious hobby is quite blurred. After all, at first the child just wants to play, and then begins to take a serious interest. Any professional modeler can say that the hobby started with a simple model. And in the process of learning wanted to learn new and different things.

The radio-controlled helicopter runs on a built-in battery. It is convenient and practical, in fact at any moment it is ready to fly.

Selection Criteria:

  • Ability to operate outdoors;
  • Option for home use with a small range of action;
  • The presence of a built-in gyroscope to control the horizontal position of the body;
  • Multi-channel model to perform complex tasks;
  • Durability for novice pilots.

Models for children are equipped with a remote control, which is used to conduct the flight. Most models have a fairly large signal range.

Types of helicopters:

  • Variants with a gyroscope have excellent stability in flight. The gyroscope corrects the speed and rpm of the propellers. Thus the helicopter does not rotate in the wind;
  • With a video camera. radio-controlled helicopter video shooting allows you to shoot beautiful views during the flight. Popular in tourism and advertising;
  • 3D models allow you to create unique pirouettes. Suitable for extreme people, as well as for participation in various competitions.

Since its inception, mankind has sought to conquer the sky. Looking into the infinite heights, primitive man, just as modern people, fascinated and envied the flight of birds, envied their freedom from the shackles of earthly gravity. Following the creation of mechanisms for movement on the ground, people immediately began to invent devices for flying in the sky. In the early 20th century the Wright brothers realized the dream of mankind and created the first heavier-than-air flying machine. It was called – the airplane. From that moment the rapid development of aviation began, and today thousands of aircraft of various designs and sizes daily traverse the airspace.

Controlling an airplane is very difficult. Only specially trained people-pilots can do it. But many ordinary people would like to hold the steering wheel with their hands, feel like pilots, rush the winged vehicle upward, throw it into a steep dive or make a “dead loop”. Modern technology, designers and manufacturers have given us the opportunity, creating a model of the aircraft at the controls.

To date – this is one of the most widely used toys on the radio-controlling of both children and adults. Although, this complex mechanism, which consists of many different parts and devices, it is hard to call a toy. To meet the needs and demands of fans of radio-controlled model airplanes to the maximum, manufacturers (among them Dynam, FMS, Horizon Hobby, Joysway, Nine Eagles, VolantexRC, WL Toys) constantly expand the range and improve the design of models, embodying the latest achievements of science and technology.

The range of radio-controlled aircraft models strikes with its variety of shapes, sizes, level of complexity, from miniature simple indoor models, finishing with huge models, stuffed with the most complicated electronics and mechanics.

Radio-controlled airplanes are divided into the following classes:

Training

In most cases, these are budget inexpensive radio-controlled aircraft models with simplified design and detailing, which are stable in the air, forgive small mistakes of pilots, quiet and not abrupt in control. They generally have a V-angle wing, which makes them extremely stable in roll. These models are a kind of “desk” for beginners, allowing them to learn how to control the radio-controlled model of the aircraft and improve their skills.

Piloting .

Aimed at more experienced pilots with experience. When designing models of this class in their design are implemented high power and maneuverability. They can perform aerobatics. Models for classical aerobatics, able to perform clearly and accurately the figures of the aerobatics, which make the real aircraft. Models for 3-D aerobatics are also able to perform the difficult stunts that would not be able to real aircraft, such as hanging vertically on the propeller. Often these radio-controlled models are not complete copies of real aircraft.

Copy or half-copy models

These models reproduce, to a certain scale, with varying degrees of replication of prototypes of real-life aircraft. They have a replica coloring, identification marks, and in the cockpit sits the figure of the pilot. They are equipped with operating mechanisms for retracting and extending landing gear, flaps, burning navigation lights, and working wheel brakes. Some models simulate engine noise and the sounds of firing cannons and machine guns. Their flight simulates the flight of real planes which they are copies of as much as possible.

Gliders

Gliders on the radio-control gliders can be motorless and equipped with an engine (motor gliders). Non-motorized gliders are launched into the sky or by throwing a hand (throwing), or using a special winch or model airplane-towing machine. Motor gliders allow you to gain altitude by turning on the auxiliary engine for a short time. Then the engine is switched off and the glider floats using the air currents. Radio-controlled motor gliders are equipped with folding propellers or a pusher propeller, which is very useful for beginner pilots because it protects the propeller from breakage during failed landings. Gliders tend to have low flight speeds, so they are easier to control than motor models. Often a glider or motor glider is used as the first model for training.

According to the position of the wing relative to the fuselage, radio-controlled model airplanes are divided into:

  • High gliders – an airplane with the upper arrangement of the wing (located on top of the fuselage). Often these are training models or model-copies of training aircraft.
  • Midplanes – an airplane in which the wing occupies an intermediate position, located in the middle of the fuselage on the longitudinal axis of the model. This is characteristic of aerobatic models and allows the aircraft to fly equally well in the normal position and upward with the wheels.
  • Low gliders are airplanes with low wing placement in relation to the fuselage, that is, the wing is positioned below the horizontal plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the fuselage. This arrangement is inherent in many replica models of rotary-wing fighters and bombers.

According to the number of wings model airplanes are classified into:

  • Monoplane – planes with one pair of wings.
  • Biplane – aircraft with two pairs of wings.
  • Triplane. – An airplane with three or more pairs of wings.

Modern development of computer technology has greatly simplified the process of learning to control a radio-controlled model of the aircraft through the use of computer flight simulators.

Flight simulators are devices consisting of a special control panel and software. They allow a very realistic simulation of the process of controlling a radio-controlled model aircraft in real conditions. In the program it is possible to select different aircraft models, different flying fields, weather, wind direction and strength and many more parameters. Flight simulator is extremely desirable for training and support of flight skills in the absence of real flights, for learning new figures. It allows you to learn without the risk of crashing a real, often very expensive model.

Radio-controlled aircraft kits:

  • RTF – fully packaged and ready to fly right after taking it out of the box or after a little preparation.
  • ARF – practically ready to fly. For these models you need to buy some additional components (control equipment, battery);
  • KIT – set of parts for assembly. Consists of a set of parts that turn into a complete aircraft after each element is installed in its place. In this case, all electronic stuffing modelers purchase separately, taking into account their requirements to the machine and capabilities.

Based on the above, it is worth deciding in advance what will be of interest to you, especially since the price of radio-controlled model planes will please the true connoisseurs of such toys.

Materials used to manufacture radio-controlled models of aircraft

The largest number of radio-controlled models on the market, made of special modified foams (EPO or EPP). The material Elapor (EPO) differs from the usual foam in a number of ways. It is very light, but also has considerable strength, does not color on a fracture, is more elastic, has a smooth surface. Some firms make models from a special, the lightest on the ground wood-balsa and plywood on its basis. As a rule it is more professional models for masters. Also for the manufacture of individual parts and components are widely used composite materials, fiberglass, carbon fiber, aluminum alloys. Leading model companies in the design and production of aircraft models use the latest computer technology, CNC machines, laser cutting of materials. Therefore, the level of performance and quality of assembly of modern aircraft models of leading firms is very high.

Engine or electric motor?

Most radio-controlled aircraft of different scales, types of radio control and engines, fuselage length and wingspan can amaze the novice aircraft modeler with its variety.

All radio-controlled aircraft models can be divided into two general classes:

  • Equipped with an electric motor;
  • ICE (internal combustion engine).

Aircraft with an internal combustion engine

Radio-controlled models with internal combustion engines (ICE). Have a mass of 0.7 kg to several tens of kg and are equipped with different types of engines. These are gasoline engines, compression, gauge 2 or 4 stroke engines. The most popular are 1-cylinder glow engines. Turbocharged, in-line, multi-cylinder, rotary and injector engines are very rarely used.

Advantages of the ICE:

  • The ability to refuel an unlimited number of times;
  • Natural engine sound, exhaust gases which completely imitate a real airplane;
  • After fuel depletion the weight of the model is significantly lightened.

Disadvantages of the internal combustion engine:

  • Less reliable operation compared to electric motors.
  • Certain dependence of settings and motor operation on atmospheric influences.
  • Require certain qualifications and skills for their start-up and proper adjustment.
  • Much higher noise level, making it difficult to fly in residential areas, special grounds are required.
  • The need for additional maintenance before and after the flight, and the need for special equipment for refueling and launch.
  • High cost and increased environmental hazards of special fuel.

Radio-controlled flying models with electric motor

Models with electric propulsion systems compare favorably with models with internal combustion engines in ease of launch, reliability, quietness and environmental friendliness. To fly this model aircraft need only a device for recharging and spare onboard batteries. Electric motors are used on different types of radio-controlled models weighing from 7 grams to tens of kilograms. This type of motor exists in two variations: collector and non-collector, it is used with impellers and propellers. Electric regulator supplies power to on-board electronics and allows you to adjust the engine speed from 0 to maximum.

For flying indoors, on small areas, lawns in the park, where there is not much space for flight, small aircraft models parkfliers are used.

These are not complicated models with a span of up to 1 meter, models of small weight with small electric motors, which are safe to launch in crowded places. This class of models enjoys great popularity among fans of radio-controlled aircraft models due to their simplicity and availability.

Most series-produced aircraft models with electric motors weigh from 500 gr. to several kg, and have wingspan from 1 to 2 meters.

Advantages of electric motors:

  • External factors do not affect the efficiency of the motor.
  • High reliability of operation, easy start-up and regulation.
  • Possibility of remote on/off of the motor, which is especially important for motor gliders.
  • Absence of noise and ecological purity.
  • Absence of special preflight preparation and special care of the engine.
  • Great range of power and speed, hence a great variety of models of different sizes, with different flight speeds and functions.
  • No change in center of gravity or weight during flight.
  • Easy ability to adjust the center of gravity position by moving the batteries.

Disadvantages:

  • Lithium polymer batteries require some maintenance.
  • Limited flight time per battery, determined by battery capacity.
  • Limited number of charge-discharge cycles of batteries.
  • Significant dependence of current output efficiency and capacity on ambient temperature.
  • Certain time for charging and necessity of special chargers for lithium polymer batteries.

Flying airplane models became something like a hobby today and in order to get real pleasure from the process of their operation, it is necessary to choose a model as oriented as possible on the potential user. Such a toy can be a great option for a gift for a person of any age.

More and more popular are quality radio-controlled models of cars. Serious and famous manufacturers are steadily entering our market to replace cheap and unpretentious “Chinese”. Now fans of racing toy cars can not be limited to the low speed, the constant glitches in the management and fragility of technology. Few people know, but today it is easy to buy almost exact copies of real cars which, despite their status as “toys”, develop a serious speed: from 60 to 160 km / h. And that’s in seconds!

Traxxas

Of course, such radio-controlled cars are more expensive than anything else, the prices for the products of the American company Traxxas – the industry leader – can reach unbelievable heights. However, the price difference is justified, because the Traxxas car is not a toy at all, it is a real racing car, which is simply a little smaller than its real prototypes. And they are not controlled from the cockpit, but with a special remote control. In addition, Traxxas racing cars can be updated, repaired and improved as much as you want – parts can be easily found at very reasonable prices.

Today we will tell you about the most interesting machines: these are Traxxas radio-controlled models.

Traxxas Stampede VXL

Traxxas Stampede VXL is interesting, first of all, because at a medium price, it is an excellent four-wheel drive off-road vehicle that is suitable for all types of roads. Thanks to a good independent suspension with long stroke oil shock absorbers and high ground clearance, it can overcome any obstacle, up to high curbs and steps.

Dimensions Traxxas Stampede VXL:

  • Length: 413 mm
  • Width: 324 mm
  • Height: 241 mm

The Traxxas Stampede VXL, like all RTR models, is ready to go as soon as you take it out of the box delivered from the Traxxas store. In its basic configuration this model accelerates to 65 km/h in a few seconds. With a few modifications it has enough power to reach as much as 100 km/h.

Traxxas 2. Traxxas X0-1.

This radio-controlled car is more expensive than the previous SUV. Also it is not as versatile cross-country, its main advantage is that it is the X0-1 is considered the fastest model in the world. In 5 seconds this racing monster accelerates to 165 km / h.

As the manufacturer warns, X0-1 is a model for people who already have some experience in driving such “toys”.
