An Rc copter is a deceptively complicated contraption. From just a casual look, a model helicopter may appear to be relatively unsophisticated mechanically, but inside the sleek outer casing there are an awful lot of parts flying around. Past that, every part must be worked in synchronicity with the others for the helicopter to get off the ground and maneuver under control. Beyond the engineering aspect, there is the radio gear to take into account. All radio controlled models wish a transmitter and a receiver; these are the components that send and receive the signals that decree how and when the Rc copter moves, either hovering, turning left or right, involving up, down or laterally and flying right-side up or inverted.
While experienced fliers of radio-control aircraft more properly use the term "transmitter," those new to the hobby often refer to the transmitter as the "controller". The box with the levers and antenna which the pilot holds in his hands is the transmitter (or controller), which sends signals to a receiver on the Rc copter or radio controlled airplane. The receiver then relays those signals to the servos and motors which no ifs ands or buts do the job of flying the model.
RC Helicopter
Unless using a spread spectrum radio system, pilots must pay rigorous attentiveness to the frequencies on which they operate. With primary narrow band transmitters, only one Rc copter or Rc plane may fly on any given frequency. When two or more pilots do exertion to operate on the same frequency, signal interference occurs, resulting in loss of operate of one or more machines and invariably a crash. While spread spectrum sets, more commonly known as 2.4 Ghs transmitters, cost more than narrow band radios, the elimination of frequency operate as a concern is well worth the further cost. Since 2.4 Ghz is definitely the principles of the future, newcomers should probably reconsider spending the extra money on a 2.4Ghz set when purchasing their first transmitter.
