Making radio controlled planes involves a lot of money though it could be just a hobby.
You will have to be ready to spend enough in making planes and enjoy the hobby.
A plane model is necessary and hence you should buy it along with other motor and radio equipments.
To run these planes you will need gasoline or battery, so you would have to pay for electricity to recharge batteries or buy the gasoline.
Therefore, making a radio controlled airplane is an expensive venture.
It is going to be awful to see your plane crash, though, after all the good work and money which has gone through the making.
It could be the worst feeling to see all the components of it get destroyed.
So while flying your plane for the very first time, you should ensure all precautionary measures so that you don't ruin the plane and also waste money.
Following the guidelines diligently and pragmatically will ensure your plane to be very safe for flying.
The choice of the day and place to fly your radio controlled airplane requires a lot of thinking.
Choose an ideal day with clear skies and tolerable wind.
Make sure it is a warm day in the park, though it isn't going to jeopardize the mission.
You should be going to a spot where take-off would be smooth and ideal.
A conducive place will definitely help your case.

And also ensuring that only very few people around to watch it is necessary, as people sometimes can prove to be a nuisance.
You might be a professional but you still have got to check all the equipments before flying your plane around.
If it is faulty it might prove costly.
Checking up the plane once or twice before flying won't do much harm.
Pay special attention to the landing gear while landing he plane.
The plane should have the strength and stay rigid while landing the plane on whichever surface you have planned to land on.
Checking the connections between the fuel supply or batteries and the motor is very essential.
Test every motor and radio equipment methodically and take some help of a friend if needed.
Now, set your airplane on a good surface which can act as a runway and suitable for take-off.
If you choose a park, make sure the sidewalks you have chosen has enough room for the airplane to roll, gain speed and take-off.
Try to prevent people from walking close to the runway.
If everything goes well, you should be able to lift smoothly in the air without much hindrance.
Hopefully you should know the nuances of flying the airplane and be able to control it properly.
Every radio controller is unique so necessary adjustments have to be made while flying.
Read your manual thoroughly before attempting anything.
You will have to do another inspection after a flight in the airplane.
If it had all started well and the flight was smooth without hindrance, there isn't a possibility of a new problem arising from nowhere.
However, inspecting the plane irrespective of the success of the flight is very important.
If you spot a flaw in the airplane its better to repair it immediately rather than the next time you intend to fly.
Follow all the instructions and step by step procedure and have a safe flight.
