These are called ARF models, which stands for "Almost Ready to Fly." Flying model aircraft can be built from scratch, but for entry level users, kits can be purchased that are completely or almost completely built. Adding to the complexity of flying model aircraft, the planes almost all require some sort of propulsion in the form of an engine or combustion system, which can be tricky to build and maintain. Constructing flying model airplanes is generally more labor-intensive and complex than constructing a static scale model, and flying models are often closer in form and function to real aircraft. ![]() ![]() There are generally three categories of flying model aircraft: a free flight version that is in no way attached to the ground or to the user, like a glider that is hand-thrown a control line model plane, which uses a wire that tethers the plane to the user and radio-controlled aircraft, in which the pilot uses a handset to send radio signals to a receiver inside the airplane. Some versions of the model airplane are made to actually fly. ![]()
