Model Aircraft

Model aircraft are scale or replica models of airplanes, helicopters, or drones used primarily for hobby flying, display, or competition. They can be built from kits or created from scratch and come in various sizes and types, including remote-controlled (RC) models, which are operated from a distance. Model aircraft enthusiasts enjoy designing, building, and flying these models, often participating in clubs and events. The hobby promotes skills in engineering, aerodynamics, and electronics, while providing a fulfilling way to explore aviation technology and creativity. Model aircraft can range from simple gliders to sophisticated, radio-controlled flying machines.
