![]() ![]() ![]() The propeller is usually affixed to the motor and may be mounted on the nose, tail, or the wings. Propeller: Most RC airplanes have some form of propeller.Tail: At the back end of the fuselage, the tail comes in many forms including conventional or T-tail, V-tail, or flat.Wings may be straight, curved, flat, rounded, ellipitical, triangular (such as Delta wing style, the plane on the right in the illustration), or other shapes. Attached to the fuselage, the wings don't usually flap or turn. Wing: Airplanes are called fixed wing aircraft.Some RC airplanes have little more than a long stick or rod for a fuselage. The RC electronics (motors, servos, batteries, wiring) are often housed inside the fuselage. In a real airplane this is where the pilot, passengers, and cargo would be found. Fuselage: The main body of the airplane.This part of the airplane is susceptible to damage in diving crashes. Some RC airplanes have a propeller on the nose. Nose: Part of the fuselage, the nose is the front of the airplane forward of the wings.There is much more detail involved as you dig deeper (or fly higher) into the world of RC airplanes. The parts described here paint the big picture. Understanding these basics can help you in making a good choice when purchasing your first RC airplane and in learning how to fly them. However, there are basic parts found in most any style plane. There is a great deal of variety in the shape and configuration of RC airplanes. ![]()
