8 best ww1 rc planes
World War we RC (Radio-Controlled) planes refer to scale model aircraft designed to replicate the appearance and often the flight characteristics of planes used during World War I. These RC models are popular among hobbyists, history enthusiasts, and aviation buffs. Here's what you should know about them:
Scale Models: WWI RC planes are highly detailed scale models that aim to replicate the appearance of World War I-era aircraft, such as biplanes and early monoplanes. They often feature accurate paint schemes, markings, and even miniature pilot figures.
Materials: These RC planes are typically constructed from lightweight materials such as balsa wood, foam, or plastic. Some hobbyists may also use more advanced materials like carbon fiber for enhanced durability.
Power Sources: WWI RC planes are powered by electric motors or internal combustion engines, depending on the model. Electric-powered models are quieter and cleaner, while gas-powered models offer a more authentic engine sound.
Radio Control: Modern RC planes are equipped with advanced radio control systems that allow pilots to remotely control the aircraft's movements. This includes control of the throttle, ailerons, elevator, and rudder.
Flight Characteristics: Designers aim to replicate the flight characteristics of the actual World War we planes as closely as possible. This can be challenging due to the unique aerodynamics of early aircraft.
Combat and Dogfighting: Some WWI RC enthusiasts engage in mock dogfighting events, where they use special rules and tactics to simulate aerial combat between RC planes.
Building vs. Buying: Hobbyists can choose to build their WWI RC planes from kits or plans, customizing them to their liking. Alternatively, ready-to-fly (RTF) models are available for those who prefer not to build from scratch.
Community and Events: There is a vibrant RC aviation community, with clubs and events dedicated to WWI RC planes.These events often feature airshows, friendly competitions, and opportunities to showcase scale model craftsmanship.
Safety: Safety precautions are essential when operating WWI RC planes. Pilots should follow local regulations, fly in designated areas, and take care to avoid accidents.
Educational and Historical Value: Building and flying WWI RC planes can provide valuable insights into the history of aviation and the challenges faced by early pilots during World War I.
In summary, WWI RC planes are a niche but passionate hobby, allowing enthusiasts to combine their love for aviation history with the joy of flying and crafting detailed scale models. These RC aircraft offer a unique way to appreciate the technological evolution of aviation over the past century.

User questions & answers
Question: | Has anyone tried landing this on one of the eagle pro helipads? Fits or not |
Answer: | Yes it fits |
Question: | what is the difference between 109g and 107g model |
Answer: | They fly very similar. I had issues with both the 107g and 109g drifting backwards a bit but I fixed that by stuffing the nose with a bit of poster tack - its good cause you can stick it on the outside to test out how much you need and where you need to put it before you open it up and really do it. Other than (obviously) their shape I don't know any big differences - they both will respond to the same controller. This one can be harder to land on small surfaces because it doesn't have landing skids - both wheels in the front and the bottom fin in the back have to contact the landing surface. Oh - and the 109 doesn't have that hideous blue/red flashing light on the front - it has two cool bluish white leds on either side. They're very similar and I don't know why but for some reason I enjoy flying my 109 more. |
Question: | Would it be able to handle the weight of a GoPro? Or could a piece of the body be removed to compensate for the GoPro's weight |
Answer: | No to both. This helocopter is very light weight and not meant for handling anything other than itself. If you want a device that handles a camera, get one of the quad copters that are available. Some of those even come with a camera on-board. |
Question: | Will this fit through an eagle pro obstacle course hoop |
Answer: | i highly doubt it, its a toy. but its a cool little copter, to learn on and then go big, DJI mavic air! awesome!!! |

Answer: | It anyway comes with its own remote so if the spectrum doesn't work you can always use that its a great plane |
Question: | How can I get replacement landing gear |
Answer: | I've had two of these and landing gear broke straight away on both models, so I just hand launch and do belly landings in the grass. If you hold the plane in your left hand, behind the wings, and the transmitter in your right you can set the throttle about 3/4 of the way up, hold back on the elevator with your right thumb and gently toss the plane and she'll take off beautifully. |
Question: | Where can I get an extra battery |
Answer: | This type of battery is quite common. I have quite a lot of them and they are easy to find. Amazon sells them. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=360mah+lipo&ref=nb_sb_noss |
