![]() ![]() ![]() towards you) will raise the elevator and cause the glider to climb. away from you) will cause the elevator to drop which will result in a dive, whilst moving the stick down (i.e. In this case, though, up does not mean up moving the stick upwards (i.e. The left hand stick, also sprung, moves up and down and corresponds naturally with the elevator. Moving the stick left will steer the glider to the left, and vice versa. Either way, this stick controls the left/right directional control of the glider. To correspond naturally with the control of the glider, this stick moves the rudder, or perhaps ailerons instead. On a 2-channel stick transmitter for an rc glider, for example, the right hand stick moves from left to right, with a natural centre i.e. ![]() These days, it's common for a 2-channel surface radio to be of the 'pistol grip' design, but 2-channel traditional 'stick' transmitters can also be bought and these can be used for simpler rc aircraft, notably gliders.Ī multi-channel air radio features two sticks and additional switches, but the big difference between stick transmitters of two or 4+ channels is how the sticks move, as illustrated in the following picture.Ībove: Stick movements of a traditional 2-channel ( left) & 4-channel ( right) transmitter. There are essentially two basic categories of radio control systems - surface radios for use with rc cars, boats and other land-based vehicles, and air radios for aircraft. a single-channel rc aircraft will have control to just one function, whilst a six-channel aircraft will have six controllable functions. Incidentally, if you don't already know, each controllable function of a radio controlled model is referred to as a 'channel' i.e. The absolute fundamental purpose of your rc system is, of course, to control the directional movement of your aircraft, with auxiliary functions being controlled in a secondary manner. I say 'at least the most common', because most modern rc transmitters are packed with features that you will likely never use! To really get the most out of your new rc flying hobby, you need to understand at least the most common radio control functions and features that your new rc system is capable of. *See Pete's popular Beginner's Guide ebook here.* Radio Control Functions - Understanding your TX Home Site search Site Map About Me Contact Me Site FAQ Privacy/Cookie Info Testimonials ![]()
