R/C Modelling
Radio controlled aeromodelling, or RC for short, is a hobby with a multitude of interesting aspects. It can be a relaxing or a serious sport, and it is also an art and crafting endeavor. It definitely has an engineering and science aspect to it. It develops skill and coordination, but most of all, it is fun and one can gain lots of friends with it.

RC aircraft are flown and controlled by a person on the ground using a radio transmitter. A receiver contained within the aircraft controls its flight. These craft vary from little planes with small electric motors to large, gas engine powered -- or even jet turbine powered -- giants. Learning to fly RC is neither too dificult nor too easy, one way or another, any Tom, Dick or Harry (or Jane, definitely!) can learn RC flying.

The only proper way of learning is to have an experienced RC flyer guide one to proficiency. It is unwise to just buy rc aircraft from a store and fly it. As seasoned fliers have always reminded people: “RC aircraft are not toys”, they are more like equipment that one really has to learn to use. For the Balloon Fiesta, we will demonstrate the more common RC aircraft from airplanes and helicopters. We will also fly aerobatic routines.
