Planes
Want to experience the
thrill of flying your own plane? Well, here is your chance!! Aero-modelling is a hobby rapidly gaining popularity in India. Just
walk to your nearest hobby store and pick up an airplane
construction kit and start building!! It will take just around 2
weeks to make it at your own pace. Once you've finished, its time to
take off...
There are 3 types of planes
available in the market :- 1) Radio-controlled 2) Fuel
Powered 3) Battery Powered
The most efficient and the most
popular are the fuel powered planes. They stay airborne for a
comparatively longer time. While the battery powered can be flown
for a short time ,they are faster and there is no mess of refueling
them. Radio controlled planes are exactly that...they can be
controlled in flight to change direction, speed and
altitude. This makes them a favourite amongst kids. Contrary to
popular belief, not all planes are remote controlled. Infact, most
planes are non-radio controlled. The disadvantage is that, most
radio controlled planes are battery-powered.
When you buy the kit, the
necessary material is normally given with the pack, but you will
need some other add-ons to make your experience more enjoyable. The
coolest add-on to your plane is a tiny camera which is very useful
to spy on your neighbours!
But while you fly, some
precautions have to be followed :- -Be careful when launching
planes in strong wind; they might fly a lot further than you had
anticipated. -Don't fly planes near trees or power lines.
-Planes are fun for all ages while radio controlled and
gas-powered planes are ideal for big kids. Fly High!!
