RC Planes. What’s it all about? (Part 3)

Scale building is left outside on purpose as both scale building and scale flying is such a big subject within the hobby, it would almost be rude to cover it in just a few words. But the main point of scale building is to build planes from grounds up using drawings and ‘walk around pictures’ from a real model.

The model is build after this original plane, and every bullet hole, paint scratches and other defects should be transferred to the scale model. The paintwork is also exactly the same as the original plane.

When you first start out with the model airplane hobby, there are tons of information out there. And there are loads of different paths to explore. What you like the most and what your interests are all about, only one person can tell. You! But you can be sure of one thing though, it is always smart to learn how to fly a model plane prior to take the action to do any of the other stuff that has been said in this article. This way you will know if the hobby suits you before you spend too much money and time on a thing that you later find out isn’t any fun after all. Start out slow, and grow with baby steps. That is a great advice.

If you love to play with electronics, or if this is one of your interests, maybe building planes with special effects would be the most enjoyable thing for you within the big world of model airplanes. If you are really passionate about old planes or warplanes, maybe building of scale models is the right genre for you. Or if you are a person who really likes to perform, show people what you can do and trim your skills near to perfectionism, you should definitely look twice on acro models and 3D flying.

No matter what you choose, the most important thing is to always have fun, and to have the pleasure of being able to relax with the hobby you are into. And model airplanes hold such a large category of different interests and hobbies that I’m sure it can bring most people fun, terrified, relaxing, exciting and joyful days, whether it is in the hobby room, or down at the runway.


Here is wishing you a bunch of great experiences, and oh yeah... Good Luck!
