From cars; airplanes; helicopters, to boats and yachts, then from tanks and motorbikes to robots, almost all forms of moving machines have been recreated in some form as radio control (R/C) models. Using the same automotive, flight and nautical theories as the life-sized machines, R/C models are designed to be controlled in the same way. That explains the huge number of hobby enthusiasts the world over with a mature appreciation and understanding of the theories and technologies involved. This is also the definitive point between true working models and so-called radio controlled toys. As with their life-sized counterparts, R/C models are used for sport and competition. With regular local and international competitions including World Championship events, a suitable environment exists for those who love to compete! |
