Remote Control Jet Airplanes
RC Jet Information for Beginner Pilots
Executive summary of article by Michael Cottier
Remote control jet airplanes are by far the most exciting and exhilarating of any remote control airplane that a person can fly. The most amazing thing about these toy jets are that they can reach speeds of up to 100 miles per hour!
Ducted fan remote control jet airplanes are the most popular among hobbyist, and are very easy to fly also. Plus, they are a lot less dangerous, since the propeller and engine is located inside of a duct, which protects adults and children from it. Ducted fan jets also are very quiet and operate smoothly, requiring very little maintenance and fine tuning.
The next type of jet is called pusher remote control jet airplanes, and they are much easier, slower and inexpensive then ducted fan jets are. RC pusher jets have a propeller dead center in the back of them that just pushes it along through the air. Plus, with an aerodynamic design, it gives the jet that extra speed and maneuverability that we all love about them.
The last type is turbine ducted powered remote control jet airplanes, which are as close as you can come to owning a real jet. Turbine ducted engines use real jet fuel and run just like a real jet engine does. This type of R/C jet is for you. Of course, you need experience flying and operating remote control airplanes before you progress to turbine ducted jets.
Remote control jet airplanes can be so fun sometimes that it is scary, but every flyer needs to always keep in mind that it can be dangerous if flown near people, because of the speed of them.
