Flying RC Aircraft: Safety Precautions You Must Know

Flying remote-controlled planes is truly an exhilarating hobby for aviation enthusiasts. The joy and excitement it provides can bring out the child within you and enable you to indulge in endless fun. However, the dangers associated cannot be overlooked. Imagine flying an RC plane and it suddenly goes out of control and crashes in a busy street. Sounds scary, right? Indeed, it is! That is why taking appropriate safety precautions matters a lot. Whether you are flying the radio-controlled gliders or the RC jets, safety must be prioritized.

In this blog, you will explore the essential precautions to take while operating an RC aircraft. Let’s dive in!

Understand the Aircraft Basics

Having a fundamental comprehension of how RC planes function is indeed crucial to flying them safely. Before you take the aircraft to the sky, try to be familiar with the different elements like the receiver, transmitter, motor, and control surfaces. Gain an understanding of the role of each of the components and how they work together to provide a pleasant flying experience.

Select an Open Area

If you are new to the hobby, it is best to start small. Instead of flying the RC plan in a large field, you can opt for smaller areas like your backyard or a park. However, try to opt for open and unobstructed areas. The core aim is to minimize the chances of potential collisions with trees, buildings, and other objects.

Check the Weather Conditions

There is no denying that weather can have a significant impact on the flight of your remote-controlled aircraft. For instance, a strong gush of wind can make it challenging for you to control the plane and prove to be dangerous. That is why it is wise to get an idea of the weather forecast for the day before taking off. Pay attention to the direction and speed of the wind. It is always better to avoid flying during strong winds or turbulent weather conditions.

Get to Know the Remote Control

Controlling the remote-controlled gliders is the key to an enjoyable experience. For that, you must understand the remote control and its functionalities well. Go through the manufacturer’s instructions carefully and invest some quality time practicing. Moreover, getting guidance from experienced pilots can also help enhance your control proficiency. Gaining mastery over the controls can enable you to fly the RC planes more confidently and avoid potential crashes.

Ensure Proper Maintenance

Before taking the plane to the skies, inspecting the different elements of the aircraft is crucial. Check the control surfaces, wings, and fuselage and look for signs of damage or wear and tear. Ensuring all the parts are in proper condition can enhance safety significantly. Moreover, be sure to invest in regular maintenance to increase the safety and longevity of the RC planes.

Conclusion

Flying the remote-controlled gliders is a fulfilling and thrilling hobby. Are you looking for the best RC planes at competitive prices? EXHOBBY is the perfect destination for all your needs. Explore their vast collection and select the one that suits your needs the best.

its soooo funny to me that my years long loki love has culminated into his Just Some Guy boyfriend being equally as important. for years ive defended lokis stupid ass, he loves his mother and cares about his family even though his father never cared for him and he always forced to live in his brothers shadow, he never really wanted to capture new york he was manipulated by thanos and the mind stone into it, etc etc etc, ive been saying it ad nauseum since i saw avengers one.

in pops the most Just A Guy ever, who sits at a desk and enjoys rc josta and jet skis, who i feel just an equal amount insane about even though ive only had him for two of my at minimum ten years of loki defense. and my god is he occupying the same space

Some more anecdotal thoughts on TFONE.

Spoilers still.

The concept of the Worker-Bots being lower class, and several characters having serial numbers over names suggests this is meant to be wide spread. Only D-16 and B-127 seem to be this for some reason, with Elita-1 sorta meeting half way. Instead of Orion Pax, you’d think he’d also have a serial number in C-01 or the more on the nose OP-1984. Jazz is a miner and still named Jazz, rather than J-06. Sideswipe could be SW-04, Arcee RC-86, Ironhide, I-98, and so forth. Maybe I’m looking too much into it, but you’d think considering the “demeaning” nature, Sentinel would go farther and strip them of their very names as well as their Cogs.

Sentinel never actually Transforms into his Vehicle Mode at all, and is exclusively in Robot Mode throughout the movie. His wings and jet boosters in his feet make it clear he’s a jet like his toys, but the only thing he turns into is his heavy artillery Apex Armor like mode in the climax.

Despite having a toy that shows the Quintessons can Transform, it’s unknown if they can in the actual film. This feels like an unintended side effect of retconning them as being descendants of Quintus Prime, as technically that should mean they’re Cybertronian, and therefore be able to Transform. The EarthSpark ones are unable to as far as we can tell, with the only Quintus descendants that can being the Terrans. Unless the Quints go the way of the Echidnas and Owls in the Sonic movies, maybe that’s something reserved for a possible TFTWO. Maybe their ship Transforms into a robot called Quintus Maximus, I ‘unno.

Due to copyright jargon, the series usually can’t use the terms Transformer or Transform in non modern animated media super well, leading to clunky ways of describing themselves. The EarthSpark and TFONE books have resorted to calling the species “Transformers Bots” which sounds like a bad SyFy parody show. While G1 and Beast Machines in particular freely refer to the species as “Transformers”, more modern material like Prime and EarthSpark imply the Transformers call themselves “Cybertronians” while “Transformer” is a term coined by humans. Though in RiD15, the Bee Team, in particular Fixit, off and on refer to themselves as Transformers, confusing the matter. TFOne goes nuts, not even trying to hide who they are and what they do, with the species collectively called “Transformers”, their Cogs “Transformation Cogs” like in G1 (they never once call them “T-Cogs” like in Prime), with Optimus able to actually say “Transform and Roll Out!” Megatron sadly never gets to say “Transform & Rise Up!” like his Animated self (and to a lesser extent his Prime self), but Megatron nevertheless adapts Rise Up! as his team’s battle cry.

A little boy in the theater I was in got really excited when the Autobots stumbled on the deer-bots, like he was pumped. Where’s the deer-bot toy, Hasbro? You have a customer.

Like other media, it’s not super clear if these examples of Cybertronic fauna can Transform. They’re not shown to, but nothing suggests they can’t either. They probably would turn into humanoid robots if they got toys, but I like to think, similar to Cyberverse, the deer turn into little cars or something.

The organic plant life is never explained, though Orion and the others don’t recognize it either, and remark in surprise something non metallic can live on the surface. Some fan theories suggest the plant life was due to the Quintessons’ maybe attempting to terraform Cybertron, but the how and why remain unclear. It might just be a throwaway reference to Beast Machines and Galaxy Force, both famously incorporating organics into Cybertron at series end.

The Allspark is never referenced in the film, so how the Transformers reproduce is never specified. Presumably the Allspark still exists, but then again some modern media is slowly moving away from it. IDW never used it in either of its G1 main line books, instead having Vector Sigma, the Matrix, the Moon Bases and Cybertron itself generating life. The Allspark was in TFP and RiD15, but wasn’t crucial to the plot. Prime ends with Optimus and Wheeljack casually fetching the relic in a sector in space, with its (now empty) container used to trap Unicron’s Spark. EarthSpark showed the Allspark existed but quickly tossed it aside, favoring the OTHER life giving relic, the Emberstone. Skybound has yet to reference the Allspark, but going by how close it’s sticking to 80’s material, Vector Sigma is pry more likely. The TFONE Matrix is similar to the Allspark in that it’s connected to Cybertron’s naturally flowing Energon, and without it, Cybertron is doomed to dwindling resources. What this means if the story continues and the Transformers leave Cybertron for Earth we have yet to see.

How the Autobots and Decepticons get their names is a bit clunky. The Decepticons get it in a similar way to IDW, the one reference to it, where they take it from the “deception” of Sentinel and Orion. The Autobots seems to be more spontaneous, it seemingly coming from Orion, now Optimus, reflecting on the miners’ new autonomy with their Cogs, dubbing them “Autobots”. How the Autobots get their logo isn’t known either, the logo just pops up as the credits roll. The Decepticons get their logo from Megatronus Prime’s face mask, as D-16 was a fan boy, collecting related merch. Sentinel, out of spite, torches a crude version of the mask on D-16’s chest which completes the origin. Ironically, as Megatronus never becomes The Fallen and is legitimately heroic as far as we can tell, his symbol being used by Megatron as it is, intentionally by the writers or not, mirrors a similar situation with The Punisher’s logo.

Double checking it, Zeta Prime is apparently a replacement for the 13th Arisen Prime. My guess is they replaced him because without The Fallen, The Arisen word play doesn’t work. Plus, having Orion Pax be preordained to be Optimus like he was in Aligned doesn’t fit here. Zeta Prime isn’t depicted as being the sociopath he’s portrayed as in IDW, but we don’t see a lot of him either, so it’s hard to say for sure (though I doubt he’d be carrying the Matrix if he was). What is for sure is they make it clear, until a future movie retcons it, that the Primes were all benevolent beings shepherding the Transformers. None of that “The Primes are all corrupt and horrible!” nonsense. Sentinel is the only one depicted as being corrupt, but he’s also not a (true) Prime either. Optimus is depicted as the true successor to what the Primes stood for, vs Sentinel who was in it for his own greed. This somewhat mirrors stuff like Nova Prime, though it’s more streamlined so casuals can understand it.

The Thrill of the Skies: How RC Jet Planes Offer an Authentic Flight Experience

If you are into RC devices, you probably already have an RC jet in your collection, and if you don’t it’s high time you get RC jet planes. Why? Because they offer a completely out-of-the-world experience without stepping into a cockpit. With a remarkable design, these small RC devices combine the exhilaration of flying a jet and the comfort of still being on the ground with a true authentic feel of soaring through the air. Whether you are a seasoned hobbyist or are just starting out, we would say RC jet planes offer the perfect blend of speed, precision, and control. Wondering how these radio-controlled marvels mimic real-life jet flights? Well, here’s our take on this subject.

What are RC Jet Planes?

RC jet planes or radio-controlled jet planes are model aircraft powered by miniature jet engines or electric ducted fans (EDFs). Unlike traditional RC airplanes, these jets are designed for high-speed maneuvers, realistic flight patterns, and often, breathtaking aerobatic stunts. Crafted with advanced materials like carbon fiber and lightweight foam, these planes can achieve speeds that bring the adrenaline of real-world aviation right into your hands.

How Do RC Jet Planes Replicate an Authentic Flight Experience?

What sets RC jet planes apart is their uncanny ability to mirror the dynamics of full-sized jets. From the engine's roar to the realistic handling in the air, here’s how they create an authentic flying experience:

#1 Realistic Design and Aerodynamics

RC jet planes are modeled after real-life fighter jets and commercial aircraft, which is why they feature precise details in terms of shape, proportions, and aerodynamics. Being quite similar to the original jets, their designs include all the minute intricacies that contribute to a genuine flight experience. In theory, the attention to detail in these flights ensures every soar the plane takes, makes the operator feel like they are piloting the real thing.

#2 Precision Control

RC jet planes offer exceptional control, so pilots can execute complex maneuvers with precision. For instance, the F16 Falcon comes equipped with an ultra-stable Xpilot gyro stabilizer system, making it easy to control. Its powerful motor system allows smooth aerobatic flying, ideal for those just starting their RC journey. Beginners will appreciate the simplicity of flying this jet, which is also suitable for adults who want to try RC flying.

#3 Immersive Sound and Sensation

The combination of speed, power, and the iconic jet sound combined with the vibration of the engine makes you feel like you are a part of a live air show. The sight of your jet streaking through the sky will evoke parts of your aviator soul that you never even knew existed.

Conclusion

Everyone who loves the thrill of RC planes understands how RC jet planes are more than just scaled-down models. They are an aviation enthusiast’s personal ticket to the skies with the controls right at their convenience in the palm of their hands. If you have been looking for RC jet planes that look sleek and fly like a true beast, you can check out the VOLANTEXRC warbird and fighter jet series from EXHOBBY. The options are practically limitless, and you can get models that are suitable for both beginners as well as seasoned pros. So, what are you waiting for? Make a purchase, take control, feel the power, and experience the incredible sky like never before!

[crosshairs-dumb-pimp-gf]

Thank @feral-ferrule for reminding me of this little aside. Now ya'll gotta deal with it.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Dosing the Batch Boys: (Glitterstim)

In Disgrace (ch3) Crosshair and Tah'nyem are dosed with Glitterstim, a psychoactive variant of spice made by the spiders that live in the caves of Kessel. It lets you read minds...This results in their minds slamming together in new an confusing ways, which is fun for their chapter but it even occurs to them that it might be even funner in bed, let's explore that a little.

Though glitterstim is canon it's underutilized and definitely not utilized the way that I do, so this is very HC based. We're also going to assume that the drug doesn't affect the health of the boys in anyway. (Echo, sweetie I worry about you other wise.)

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Hunter-

I think what would get Hunter off the most about being in your brain is the complete confirmation that all of your praise is genuine. All the boys might be surprised at just how attracted clonethirst girlies are to them but Hunter is particularly susceptible to the flattery of it. Ego boosted, the next aspect he would utilize is the direct feedback for how pleasurable his actions were. You'd probably not get to actively participate as much because he would get wrapped up in feeling what heights he could drive you to.

Wrecker-*let me in meme goes here*

What is going on in there? I can only imagine Wrecker's brain being a kind of messy place, sparks flying back and forth, complex equations drawn in crayon... What would be hot about it is just how overwhelmed with his emotions you would get. With practice he might be able to hold back but without it your brain is getting flooded. Joy, exuberance, and of course the sexual pleasure on a feedback loop. Actually, don't do this with Wrecker, you two are gonna fry.

Echo-

You'd have to ease Echo into this, he'd feel a little self conscious that you might feel any discomfort his implants and prosthetics might cause him, and you would, but having that open map would guide you to new ways to comfort him and make him feel good. He'd also find himself enjoying a type of relief basking in your mind. Like Hunter, he'd be enamored with feeling what he does to you and would try to heighten your experience more than focusing on himself.

Crosshair-

Cross isn't a selfish lover, but unlike Hunter and Echo he's very of the mindset that pleasure is a two way street. He'd more than likely take advantage of the connection by doing things that are mutually beneficial and might yield crazy results via feedback a la 69ing. More closed off and focused, Crosshair would have more control over holding your mind on task, easily keeping you away from parts of him he wouldn't want you to see.

Tech-

Where do I start?

Absolute dog shit at staying on task, once you let this little gremlin loose in your brain he'll start to rip you apart like an engine. Good luck keeping him out of your deepest darkest secrets, your half forgotten ruminations, dreams, and whatever other threads he gets his hands on. Not like it'd be much better, but you can also step into the whirring whirlwind resting in his brain pan. A single calculated thought releases so much mental energy you're floored immediately. There's not even sex yet, and since you'd be a helpless kitten of an rc car hooked up to the power of a jet engine you might as well let him run wild kriffing you within full efficiency.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Not that it moves the plot much besides being way too comfortable with each other too quickly, there are lasting effects of the Glitterstim on CrossXTahny.

She never gets a clean slate with the rest of the Batch Boys since she was exposed quite strongly to Crosshair's opinions of them. His opinions of them directly after Kamino. Yeah.

Also more of a fun fact, in case of alternative dimension shenanigans, Tahny would always be able to pick her Crosshair out of a line up. Even if it's between other Crosshair's that had Glitterstim experiences with other Tah'nyems.

Kids got little tan lines in the shape of each other burned into their brains.

A huge black-and-white picture of an RC-135U hung on my bedroom wall (no, I didn’t have THE Farah poster). Robert Hopkins lll (Air Force brat later RC-135 Pilot.)

He moved from Beale Air Force Base to Offuff AFB in Nebraska. As a child Robert had to move often, which was normal he went from living at the home of the SR 71 to living at the home base of the majority of the RC-135 fleet, I saw these jets every day while volunteering at the SAC Museum at the end of the closed runway. I had an inkling of what they did, and my early exposure to British aviation magazines led me to appreciate the mystique they possessed when visiting RAF Mildenhall in England.~ Robert Hopkins in Hush-kit interview.

I’ve had the privilege over the last few years of getting to know Robert he volunteered to edit my father, Butch Sheffield‘s book. Unfortunately, He had to quit editing Dad’s book because another matter came up. I will admit that I did not know how privileged my family was to have him volunteer at first.He is an aviation author of the first degree very much admired by many. Although we lived just a five-minute walk away from each other during the time I lived at Beale Air Force Base, as a kid I didn’t know him. Robert was one year younger than me his best friend was Jamie Kraus, son of an RSO. He understands the competition, mostly friendly that I found between the RC 135 and the SR-71. Robert is a fan of the SR 71 but his heart belongs to the RC 135. He grew up and became a pilot of the RC 135 just like his father was.

I had heard about the U-2 versus the SR-71, competition but this story was new to me.

The SR 71 brought out competition between SR-71 crewmembers and the RC-135 also. I read about this story in Rich Graham‘s Book “Flying the SR 71 Blackbird “

The mobile crew of an SR-71 went to the Kadena Airbase, Okinawa, “O” Club to eat a quick lunch. (The mobile crew is the back or Buddy crew. It would consist of a pilot and an RSO of the SR-71 they were expected back to the flight line when the SR71 came back from the flight. In the officer club parking lot, the RC 135 crew noticed the locked car had a top-secret kit bag that they could see while peering into the back window.

They called the security police to report them!!

Being able to see this top-secret kit bag It’s a big no-no, Rich Graham explained So the SR-71 crew went back to their squadron and plotted their revenge.

The revenge was they made stencils of an RC 135 then went “stealthy” into the night with spray paint and stencils in hand, a group of SR-71 men spray painted the stencils, of the RC 135 everywhere they could, signs, polls, and buildings.

At first, the RC squadron was proud, thinking that it was one of them who had done the stenciling until that squadron was ordered to clean up the mess that the SR-71 squadron had made! Normally, what would happen is the RC 135 squadron would be the ones stenciling the silhouette of their airplane on SR 71 property. But this time it was the SR 71 guys that were doing the stenciling. I think they got off easy. Haha

This kind of practical joke would not be tolerated in today’s Air Force. I have been told this.

What is it about the SR 71 that used to drive so many people to compete with them?
