Requirements for model flies
Starting with the model flying hobby? Not sure how to start or do you have a lot of questions?
On this page I want to tell you something about the model flying hobby and what it involves.
If you want to start with the model flying hobby, you will soon be faced with many questions.
That is why we tell you a few things on this page to make the start a bit easier.
The beginning of this hobby is actually very important, if you don't do this well, the fun will soon disappear. Never start on your own, but go to a model flying club and look around there, and ask how best to start.
I know from experience if you buy an airplane and fly it yourself that there is a good chance that you will not keep the plane intact.
Each club has one or more instructors who can help you.
The model airplane
The Engine
If you choose an aircraft with an engine, you still have to make the choice between flying with fuel engines and / or electric engines.
A motor-driven model airplane flies on a fuel engine or an electric motor, the auxiliary engine for a glider is always an electric motor.
With a fuel engine, you should fill up with fuel first if you want to fly.
In case of electric motors, you should charge the batteries first.
Both engine types have their advantages and disadvantages, so this choice is always personal.
We will describe the most important points here, so you can include them in your choice.
The advantage of fuel is that you can generally do many more flights.
After all, refueling is done in no time and you can continue flying.
Batteries need to be charged when they have flown empty and this charging takes some time, you can buy several batteries but this is much more expensive.
The advantage of electronics is the low noise nuisance.
and with electro you can be flown more often and in many more places.
