Receivers, two batteries, and multiple servos on every control surface. It is very common for large scale RC airplanes to have two Of these airplanes have redundant systems, just like the Space Shuttles You will find that most giant scale planes are powered by gasoline engines as opposed to the nitro engine used by most "normal" size RC airplanes.Įvery precaution is taken to avoid a costly and dangerous crash. Many large scale radio control airplanes have redundant receivers and servos. Specifically designed for large scale RC airplanes.

There are large high torque servos available that are Giant scale aircraft are usually powered by gasoline engines as opposed So it's the weight that ultimately limits the size of these large scale RC airplanes. The AMA limits the weight of an RC airplane to 55lbs. This is why IMAC pilots generally gravitate towards Giant scale RC airplanes. Some of the more popular models are Extras, Sukhois, and CAPs.Īs a general rule, larger airplanes fly better than smaller airplanes.

Each year IMAC gets a copy of IAC sequences and tweaks them to make them better suited for RC aircraft.Īn airplane must be a "true Scale" model of a full scale airplane in order to participate in IAC competitions. Very closely resembles that of the IAC sequences. These competitions are broken up into four classes which are Basic, IMAC competitions are very much the same as IAC competitions, except IMAC pilots fly Giant Scale RC Airplanes instead of full scale aerobatic airplanes. Some of the maneuvers they perform are mind blowing. If you've never watched a full scale aerobatic airplane in action, you really are missing out. The International Aerobatic Club (IAC) is the world's largest aerobatic organization.
