  1. Radio Operations and Aircraft Control Matt Winit Fern Prairie Modelers AMA #1921 FPMCTraining@comcast.net

  2. 4 Channel Radio • This is your basic non-computerized 4 channel radio - Trainer Switch Aileron/Elevator Throttle/Rudder Nosewheel Trims On/Off Switch Control direction of servo movement

  3. Definitions • Trainer switch – allows the instructor to take control of the aircraft for training • Trims – sets the neutral position of the control surfaces for straight and level flight • Throttle – controls the power developed by the engine

  4. Definitions • Rudder – controls the yaw of the aircraft, or more simply its side to side movement

  5. Definitions • Elevator – Controls the pitch of the aircraft

  6. Definitions • Ailerons – Control the roll of the aircraft

  7. Quiz time… • What would this do to the aircraft?

  8. Answer… • This would move the elevator down, thus pitching the aircraft down.

  9. Quiz time… • What would this do to the aircraft?

  10. Answer… • This would increase the throttle, speeding up the aircraft.

  11. Quiz time… • What would this do to the aircraft?

  12. Answer… • This would move the right aileron up, the left aileron down, and start a turn to the right.

  13. Quiz time • What would this do to the aircraft?

  14. Answer… • Move the rudder to the left, thus moving the tail to the right and the nose to the left. It would also move the nosewheel to the left.

  15. Practicing • Sitting with your transmitter and thinking through a flight can help quite a bit when it comes time for your next lesson. This is also known as “chair flying” • There are a number of flight simulators on the market that quite accurately recreate R/C flying

  16. More information… • For more information on aerodynamics, visit the NASA web site of the Glenn Research Center at http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/guided.htm
