Electric and Nitro rc Planes

Hobby Quality rc planes have high RPM nitro engines and electric motors. Some Planes can reach speeds of up to 140 mph. The most popular models are the almost ready to fly (ARF) and ready to fly (RTF).





The ARF model comes from the manufacturer with most of the building and finishing work complete. Usually, major sections, such as the fuselage & wings, are prebuilt (or require no building). Most of the hardware and accessories are included and installed. An electric ARF model may include a motor. A gas powered ARF model rarely comes with an engine.

Although ARF model rc planes cost a little more than a Kit, they're the ideal choice for beginners or modelers who have few building skills, or limited amounts of time!

RTF model rc planes usually come as an ARF but includes all the equipment needed to fly it. Standard features will include the radio system, a motor or engine that is installed at the factory. A video and batteries for the radio are also included.

A nitro gas powered RTF model should include things such as, a glow starter, or a fuel bottle. An electric RTF should include a charger, a rechargeable battery, a speed control (mechanical or electronic) or auto cut-off. An RTF model usually costs more than a kit or an ARF model.

The decision is yours as to whether you want an RTF, ARF, or build-it-yourself kits, nitro gas powered, or electric.

  1. The information you have shared is quite interesting and will be helpful.RC Toy Planes have made it possible for anyone to enjoy flying Rc Planes. Flying is an awesome hobby. Words cannot describe what one feels while flying an RC. The easiest planes to fly are typically ones that have a high wing, or a wing that is on top or above the plane's fuselage.
