Frequently Asked Questions
How does wingspan affect how an RC plane flies?
Wingspan directly influences lift, stability and agility. A wider wingspan generally offers smoother, more stable flight, which helps with gliding and endurance flying. Shorter wingspans are better for aerobatics and sharper turns but can be less forgiving for beginners. It’s important to match wingspan to flying conditions and skill level - a larger plane might perform beautifully outdoors, while smaller models suit compact flying spaces.
What’s the benefit of using foam versus balsa wood planes?
Foam planes are lightweight, durable and inexpensive, making them great for training or everyday flying. They absorb impact well, so crashes are less costly to repair. Balsa planes, however, are prized for their craftsmanship, stiffness and aerodynamic precision. They require more care and experience but deliver excellent performance for serious hobbyists who enjoy building as much as flying.
Do I need flight stabilisation systems or can I fly without them?
Flight stabilisers use sensors to automatically correct roll, pitch and yaw, making flying smoother and easier - especially for beginners. More experienced pilots often prefer to fly without them for full manual control. Many modern transmitters allow you to toggle stabilisation mid-flight, giving you the flexibility to train or push your skills. Choosing whether to use one comes down to comfort, confidence and flying style.
