When anyone canbecome a pilot

6/24

Because the paper planes time is over.


7/24

Model aircrafts are made of:Balsa woodPlywood

or

High-density Polystyrene


8/24

You can build it… From scratch

You can build your plane only

with plans, or with nothing atall!


9/24

With a wood kit

Higher precision (laser) and

saves time

A lot of types of aircraftsFree flight aircraftsR/C aircrafts:

Basic onesScale models Aerobatic airplanes

F3A

3-DHelicoptersGliders Jets


14/24

Free flight models

No need for external controlPowered or not (rubber-band, engine, …) Very stable


15/24

Basic R/C planesQuite slowNot able to do advancedaerobaticsIdeal for learning purpose


16/24

Scale models Look like real aircraftsUsually bigger than usual

For flight dynamicsTo enjoy having a scalemodel

Quite impressive


17/24

F3A planes

F3A is like figure skatingfor R/C planesImposed maneuvers in aspecific orderDuring competitions, eachmaneuver is gradedindependently from the

others


18/24

3D aerobatics planesComplex maneuvers thatusual aircrafts cannot do

Larger control surfacesHigher thrust-to-weightratio -> very powerful

In competition, the goal

for the pilot is to show hisskill


19/24

HelicoptersThere also exists:Scale helicopters3D helicopters“F3A” helicopters -> F3C


20/24

GlidersThe goal is to fly as longas possible without theuse of any engine orother propulsion meanTo take off:

Use another plane

Can have a small electricengine


21/24

Jets Very high speed Very hard to control

Very impressive Very expensive


22/24

Because your neighbors don’t want to be hit by a plane


23/24

On specific areasBecause of:NoisePollutionRisks
