Radio Controlled Models – How Does Radio Control Work?
At first glance, the principles of radio control can seem quite complex. With a little fundamental information about the basics, however, you will quite soon be able to enjoy building and operating your first radio controlled model – be it a car, plane, boat, or perhaps even a radio controlled truck or tank. Radio controlled models obviously appear quite different in design and size but at their core are the same radio control principles of transmitter, receiver, aerial or antenna, servos, batteries, etc. With some knowledge of how these components fit together, it is much simpler to understand how to build your first radio controlled model. Just the same way that radio stations operate on designated frequencies, the radio frequencies for radio control are allocated by the various authorities from country to country. The frequency bands are carefully allocated to ensure that there is no possibility of interference with frequencies used by public services such as air traffic control or
