EXPLANATION OF SOME MODEL AIRCRAFT EXPRESSIONS

Cessna 182
The may be your first flying model
and it may therefore be useful to understand some
of the technical expressions used in this hobby.
Some of these terms and their meanings are
detailed as follows in alphabetical order.
Accumulator:
Rechargeable storage unit for
electrical energy commonly referred to as a
rechargeable battery. For model airplanes Nickel
Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium Polymer
batteries (Lipo) are used. The stored energy is
measured in Milli-Ampere-Hours (mAh). A battery
with 1300mAh is able to discharge a current of 12A
for6 minutes. To operate the motor of an airplane
the battery must be able to discharge heavy
current; within a few minutes it transmits its energy
with the aid of the speed controller to the motor.
Accumulators / batteries can be charged
depending on their specification several hundred
times. Make sure to use only the charger which is
suitable for your type of battery. Worn out or
defective batteries (hazardous) must be disposed
in an approved manner.
Aileron:
An airplane turns rather like a
motorcycle, with aerodynamic and gravitational
forces playing an important factor. The sideways
pitch of a conventional aircraft is achieved by
moving the flaps or ailerons on the wing. On the
MINIMOA the separate control surfaces of the
optional ailerons are operated in the opposite
direction. Appropriate servomotors and the
operating linkage are already installed in the
Cessna 182
. When constructing the aircraft, the
appropriate connectors must be inserted into the
receiver on the wing root.
Battery / dry cell:
Dry cells like Alkaline
batteries are disposable power sources. With the
Cessna 182
dry cells can be used for the
operation of the transmitter. At the end of its
lifetime the voltage of a battery decreases and
must be disposed. Never try to recharge a dry cell
with any charger; which may result in fire or
explosion.

BEC Battery Eliminating Circuit:
is a circuit for electric powered models where a
separate power source for the receiver is not
required. The receiver is supplied with current from
the flight battery. The voltage is controlled by a
special device to a specific value.
Centre of gravity:
central point at which the forward and rear sections
of the aircraft can be balanced. In an airplane the
position of the centre of gravity in relation to lift,
plays an important role.
Crystal:
possible to control several models at the same
time via different channels (frequency bands), each
channel must be specified by means of the quartz
frequency crystals to be inserted into the
transmitter and receiver. The
controlled via a system in the 2.4 GHz frequency
band which, thanks to state-of-the-art technology,
permits the simultaneous operation of almost any
number of models without the use of quartz
crystals. Susceptibility to disturbance relative to
LiPo-
other transmitters (e.g. including radiotelephony
battery-pack
with overreach) is almost zero compared to
2 cells
existing technology. Transmitter and receiver are
assigned to each other, a reaction to an
extraneous signal is suppressed.
Electric motor:
design of motors and batteries which can use high
powered flying with electric aeroplanes has now
been achieved. Motors and batteries become hot
during the flight. Let them cool down before
recharging and before the next flight. See also:
speed controller, brushless.
Elevator:
design is similar to a small wing at the tail of the
plane with a moveable flap at its end. By moving
this control surface up or down the lifting forces at
the elevator are altered; the tail of the plane is
dropped or lifted, resulting in ascent or descent of
the airplane.
