RC Toy Airplanes - Remote control toys and remote control toy airplanes

RC toy airplanes are the perfect introduction to the r/c hobby for your child, or another special young one in your life. Getting a kid an airplane is a great way for them to spend there extra time, and be outdoors too.

Not to mention a good hobby can also provide your kid with building skills, and will give you extra time to spend with them.

Flying a remote control toy airplane excites children of all ages, and what is more rewarding than building and flying your own creation?

Recommended Toy RC Airplane

The airplanes made by Megatech are perfect for young children and beginners alike, and are great if you just want a quick, casual flight.

RC toy airplanes are safe and can be flown by kids about 8 years old and up. There are a lot of remote control toys and airplanes out there, and most are around $50.

All remote control toy airplanes are really alike and you don’t need to know much when buying and flying them because they are so easy. All you need to do is pick rc airplanes or rc toy airplanes that you think your child would enjoy.

What's the difference?

The difference between a toy RC airplane and a regular RC airplane is basically the seriousness of the model. For example, a nitro powered RC airplane has flaps, ailerons, landing gears and more.

But a toy RC airplane is just electrically powered and there is no flap or aileron control, nor landing gears. This is because all you have to do to get a toy R/C plane in the air is hand launch it and control it with the throttle.

That’s good though, because toy RC airplanes are for young beginners and/or people who just want a relaxing flight. Flap and aileron control is something that takes practice to master and requires the most attention.

More RC Toys

Lately there have been a lot of new RC toys that are very unique in nature. For example, you can get a flying RC U.F.O toy that actually hovers like a real UFO!

There are also other very cool RC toys like blimps and mini RC planes. If you like miniature RC toys, you can also buy mini r/c cars, boats, tanks, and even submarines! Check out some very cool RC toys below.

RC Blimps

An RC blimp is just about one of the most fun RC toys available on the market today. Imagine your blimp just floating around and you are controlling it!

R/C blimps have directional thrusters that allow you to move the blimp in any direction that you want, so you can hover over your house, cruise down your hallway, or even go straight up into the sky.

One thing about an RC blimp many people might not like is the fact that you have to purchase helium to fill it up. But you shouldn’t have worry about that, since helium is usually available in your local party store.

Radio Control UFO's

UFO’s have long been a mystery in American culture and now you can bring that mystery home with you. As an owner of an R/C UFO, I can tell you that nothing compares to flying a UFO.

The UFO that I own only goes up and down, but there are ones that you can buy that can move in all directions, including left and right!

A remote control UFO will amaze your family and friends for many years to come, and might cause your neighbors to think that Aliens are attacking them.

RC Ornithopter/Bird

Leonardo Da Vinci studied flight in the 1480's, and one of his flying machines that he designed was an Ornithopter.

What is an Ornithopter you ask? Basically, it is a flight vehicle that uses the same concept as a bird, which is flapping its wings to create lift. Da Vinci only created this machine on paper; it was never actually built until now of course.

Yes, you can buy an R/C Ornithopter for yourself and fly it at home. Do what Da Vinci only dreamed of and get yours today!

Submarines

Go zooming underwater with your own personal R/C submarine. Whether you’re just playing in your bath tub, out on a big open lake, or at your local swimming pool, an R/C submarine is fun stuff.

Most RC submarines have quick acting propellers that can submerge and emerge the sub in just seconds. You and your friends will have so much fun at the pool with this toy that you will forget it is a toy!

Flying RC Toy Planes

Sometimes radio controlled toys and airplanes that are made for children are so easy to takeoff and land, all you have to do is push a button.

And since there are children flying these planes, they make them extra durable. If your child’s rc airplane is a little challenging to land, you should take a look at my learn to fly page. All the information you will need is there. For rc airplane help, visit my help page.

What else will you need?

When buying an rc toy airplane for your kid, you really don’t need to get much because the airplanes come with everything needed.

You just need the airplane your child wants, and sometimes AAA or AA batteries for the transmitter. If you do need extra accessories for your new plane, please look at my parts and accessories page.
