Turning around the longitudinal
axis (banking or turn): aileron
Free axes of revolution:
Cessna 182
or a ship, the
axes (3D) as soon as it moves in the air. Changes
in attitude and flight direction are initiated by
movement of the control surfaces (rudder, elevator,
and aileron).
Power switch:
Transmitter and receiver are
each equipped with a switch to turn on or off
current supply.
Propeller (airscrew):
by the motor and generates the propulsion of the
model. The power of the motor, size and weight of
the model and resulting air speed, determine the
design of a propeller. The better the propeller is
matched for a model, the better the efficiency and
flying performance. There are two important
dimensions that determine a propellers
performance. Diameter and pitch preferably
indicated by the inch. The propeller of the
Cessna 182 with the values 8x5 (inches) has a
diameter of 8 and a pitch of 5 inches; during one
rotation this would make a forward movement of 5
inches for one revolution. If rotating at 8,000 rpm
that would result in approx 38 mph. The speed
which can be attained is slightly lower as the
propeller can generate propulsion only with a
certain amount of "slip".
Receiver:
The receiver intercepts the signals of
the transmitter via its antenna and converts them
into pulses for the servos which operate the control
surfaces. In addition it converts the radio signals
for the electronic speed controller which regulates
the speed of the electric motor according to the
position of the throttle lever on the transmitter.

Turning around the vertical axis (curve):
rudder and aileron
Turning around the lateral
axis (up - down): elevator
Receiver and speed controller are already installed
into your Cessna 182. Only equipment from the
same manufacturer will work with the 2.4 MHz
technology used here.
Rudder:
The rudder of most airplane designs
utilise at least one fin, preferably in a vertical
position with a movable flap at the end. By
swinging the flap to the left or to the right, affects
the airflow which moves the tail of the airplane
sideward. Together with other effects (V-shape of
the wing or operating the here optional ailerons)
the rudder starts turning the airplane.
Servo:
The steering signals of the transmitter are
converted by the receiver into control
values for the allocated servos. The
servo motor operates the servo lever
by means of a gear, which then
moves in an arc according to the
signal, up to 1/6th of a circle. Usually
the servo lever is connected via rods
to the control surfaces.
Speed controller:
The electronic speed
controller regulates the speed of the motor with
almost no power loss, by switching the motor
current on and off (with a very high frequency) in
differing long pulses. If the voltage of the battery
drops by continuous discharge below a certain
limit, needed to operate the servos, the speed
controller will stop the motor. Your Cessna 182
r
emains controllable n a power off glide.
