EXPLANATION OF SOME MODEL AIRCRAFT EXPRESSIONS

The MINIMOA 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-
Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and
Lithium Polymer batteries (Lipo) are used. The
stored energy is measured in Milli-Ampere-Hours
(mAh). A battery with 950mAh is able to discharge
a current of 10A for 5 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
MINIMOA . 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
MINIMOA 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:
The centre of gravity is the
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:
With the technology used to date, it is
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 MINIMOA is
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
other transmitters (e.g. including radiotelephony
with overreach) is almost zero compared to
existing technology. Transmitter and receiver are
assigned to each other, a reaction to an
extraneous signal is suppressed.
Electric brushless motor
current. The 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:
The elevator of an airplane in a normal
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.
