These planes are extremely small and make it easy for you to enjoy flying in smaller areas. You don’t need as much space to take off with these smaller models. These planes are not only a lot of fun, but they are also affordable and easy to use as well.

You can purchase your own micro radio controlled planes that are already ready for you to start flying. Another option is to build your own. You can get online and find the plans to build one of these plans. The instructions will let you know all the parts that you will need. This allows you to enjoy the building process and then you can enjoy all the flight time once it is complete too.

Many people don’t have a large enough area to fly the full size planes. However, if you have a small driveway, usually that is enough area to get the micro radio controlled planes off the ground. It’s a great way to enjoy some flying without having to find a larger area where you have more room.

July 20, 2011 / Louis Dinnen / No comments

If you want nitro remote control cars to run at there very best of its ability you must perform maintenance on a regular basis. Following each run, remove any loose dirt using a soft brush or towel. To get into the hard to reach areas you can even use a soft toothbrush. If you don’t have an air compressor a blow dryer set on cool does a great job of removing dirt and dust. In addition, it’s a good idea to look over and thoroughly clean the outer air filter foam after every run if it’s dirty, particularly if you’re racing in dusty conditions.

As often as possible, after each race, remove the engine and radio parts and clean each individually, inspecting them for wear and tear, taking the time to check out all moving parts. With all Nitro RC vehicles you need to pay particular attention to the clutch bearings because they take a lot of abuse during races. You’ll also want to lube the inner filters and replace then regularly. A good number of hobbyist lube their cars engines after every race which isn’t typically necessary if you use high quality nitro fuel.

Preventative maintenance, using high quality parts and fuel, is extremely important if you want to make sure your car doesn’t break down during a big race and end up falling behind which is a real bummer.
