Best Pre Built Model Aircraft Buying Guide
Before choosing the best pre-built model aircraft you should consider following options:
1. Ready-to-Fly (RTF): This is the most popular option for new pilots. With everything included and assembled, RTF models are ready to fly straight out of the box.
Things to look for in an RTF model include flight controller technology and the quality of the components.
Flight controller technology has evolved over the last five years with the introduction of GPS-based controllers. These are able to hold a position in the air with greater accuracy and are often simpler to use.
The quality of the components is also important. Components such as the motors, ESCs and batteries are what make the biggest difference to how the model flies.
You want to make sure that you are getting high quality and durable components that you won’t have to replace in a few months.
2. Plug-and-Play (PnP): This is an option that is growing in popularity, especially with the old model aircraft community.
Plug-and-play models give you the option of swapping out the electronics and replacing them with your own.
This is a great option for intermediate pilots who have a good idea of what they want from their model, such as what controller technology they prefer and what type of power system they would like to use.
The main downside to PnP models is that the price is often higher than RTF models.
3. Bind-and-Fly (BnF): Similar to plug-and-play models, BnF models allow you to swap out the electronics.
The main difference is that there is no self-stabilizing controller included. This means that in order to fly the model, you will need to connect a smart phone or tablet to the flight controller and use an application to control it.
The benefit of this is that you can customize the model to suit your preferences and make changes whenever you like.
You can also use the app to track flights that you have made, which is great for improving your flying skills.
The downside is that the price of a BnF model is often higher than RTF models.
4. Bind-and-Fly (BNF) with Pre-Assembled Parts: This option combines RTF and BNF models. You get the convenience of an RTF model with the ability to swap out the components.
This option is great for new pilots who want to try different controller technologies and power systems.
The only downside is that the price of this option is often higher than RTF models.
5. ARF: Almost-Ready-to-Fly (ARF) models are similar to RTF models, but they require some assembly.
This is a great option for intermediate pilots who already have some experience with flying. Since the model is partly disassembled, this option is usually cheaper than RTF models.
The only downside is that the quality of the components can be lower than RTF models.
6. Build-it-Yourself (BIY): This is the cheapest option for new pilots. With everything included in the box apart from the electronic speed controller (ESC), build-it-yourself models are great for beginners.
The main downside is that you need to buy your own components, which makes the overall price higher.
If you are new to flying and have never built an RC model before, we recommend that you start with a BIF model.
7. RC Boat: RC boats are a great
