  Devices and means to engage in indoor flight of radio controlled model aircrafts - Patent 5407149
Radio controlled model aircrafts are flown outdoors in a suitable location, that must have the prerequisites of: large open space away from houses and people, away from power transmission lines, away from automobile traffic freeways, has upward air currents usually found near ocean cliffs.
Model aircraft used in the flight space are smaller and lighter and are ones that weigh in the order of less than a pound.
Small light weight model aircraft for indoor flight have remote control transmitter and miniature receiver and micro servo motor means which control the flying surfaces of aircraft's flight in the interior of the flight space.

  Radio-controlled model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A radio-controlled model (or RC model) is a model that is steerable with the use of radio control.
In the 1990s miniaturised equipment became widely available, allowing radio control of the smallest models, and by the 2000s radio control was commonplace even for the control of inexpensive toys.
Radio controlled models were used for the children's television program Theodore Tugboat.

 Radio-controlled car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the late 1960s, the first miniaturized solid state radio control systems became available, which allowed a model car to have servo-controlled steering, throttle, and brake functionality that could be remotely controlled from a radio control transmitter unit.
In 1976, the Japanese firm Tamiya, who were renowned for their intricately detailed plastic model kits, released a series of elegant but somewhat mechanically crude car models that were sold as "suitable for radio control".
These models can be credited with launching a boom in the popularity of radio controlled model cars in the early to mid 1980s, and they provided the basis for today's radio controlled car market.

 Racy SUPER MODELS - radio controlled model yacht racing Boat/US Magazine - Find Articles
Model yacht racing, or "RC" racing (for "radio controlled") is what gets many boaters through the winter.
"Model racing is less of a commitment in terms of time as well as money," said Dick Rutledge, a BoatU.S. member from Houston who is also the national vice president of the American Model Yacht Association (AMYA), the all-volunteer organization which sanctions classes of RC boats and all official races.
It wasn't until the late 1960s that radios became small enough to fit inside a miniature hull and the thrill of maneuvering a boat around a race course started to become the attraction, more than the model building itself.

We built this 1/8 scale model of the client's boat before building the underwater control surfaces: skeg, rudder, trim tabs, etc. It is not very difficult to design a fast powerboat so that it floats on its lines and attains the desired speed with the desired power.
However, it is not so easy to design underwater control surfaces which will perform perfectly and without alteration on the client's boat.
Though we fitted trim tabs to the model boat, we concluded that they would not be necessary to adjust the fore-and-aft running attitude of the boat.

 RcTek - Radio Controlled Model Car Handling Information
There simply isn't enough time to explain about model car handling at a meeting and those who freely offer their help usually have other commitments (they are either racing or acting as pit crew for someone).
Physics is at the root of understanding model car handling and there are countless web sites and books available that will explain all in the most technical of terms, but they are usually above the average model car driver who will fail to see the relevance.
Although this translates into bold statement of the content of this model car handling section, we only hope that some of it rubs off onto people and helps them to better prepare their car for the track conditions they face.
