RealFlight Term
The ability to takeoff and land a radio controlled
aircraft from water.
These are the short blades on the end of the flybar.
Available in a variety of weights and airfoils, these
paddles assist the main blades in producing lift, etc.
As the name suggests, a flybarless aircraft is a
helicopter that does not incorporate a flybar in the
rotorhead design. Rather the helicopter uses an
electronic stabilization device that electronically
replaces the flybar.
These maneuvers are very similar to a slow roll with
the exception of a hesitation at either ¼ of the roll
or at 1/8 of the roll. It is important to remember to
use rudder and elevator to keep the aircraft flying in
a straight line.
Frame Rate is the number of times per second that
RealFlight creates a different picture to display on
your monitor. Frame rate is determined by the
speed of your CPU and graphics card, and how
many RealFlight options you turn on. This is not
the same as refresh rate, which is the number of
times per second that your monitor retraces an
image on its screen.
Generally speaking, this is the main part of the
airplane that holds the wings and engine. The
fuselage is often thought of as the "body" of the
airplane. This term is also used to refer to a "body"
that might be used on helicopters.
