RC Planes

Explore Hobbytech Toys for RC planes across every build type, including Ready-To-Fly kits that take off straight from the box. Bind-N-Fly and Plug-N-Play planes let you add your own transmitter and receiver, while Almost-Ready-To-Fly kits give you a partially built airframe to finish yourself. For full custom builds, plane kits include pre-cut balsa or foam parts and hardware so you can shape the frame, fit the electronics, and finish the details your way.

Do RC planes have engines?

Yes, RC planes use small engines or electric motors to power their propellers or jets. Gas-powered engines are common in larger planes and offer better fuel efficiency compared to nitro engines. Electric motors are quieter and easier to maintain, making them popular for beginners and indoor or park flying.

How fast do RC planes fly?

Speed depends on the type of plane and its setup. High-performance EDF jets and racing planes can reach speeds between 160 and 320 km/h. Trainer planes and basic models fly much slower, giving beginners more time to react and control their flight.

Can you build your own RC plane?

Yes, you can build an RC plane from a kit or design one yourself from scratch. Kits provide pre-cut parts and instructions to help you get started, while scratch-built planes let you customise every part of the design. Building from scratch takes more time and planning but gives you full control over your plane’s size, shape, and performance.

Learn More About Our RC Planes

RTF (Ready To Fly): Ready to take to the skies right out of the box, RTF RC planes come fully assembled and include everything you need to fly, such as the aircraft, transmitter, receiver, battery, and charger. With minimal setup required, RTF planes are perfect for beginners or pilots who want a hassle-free flying experience.
BNF (Bind & Fly): BNF RC planes come pre-built and ready to fly, but they do not include a transmitter. Instead, BNF planes require you to "bind" them to a compatible transmitter before flying. This allows pilots to use their own transmitter or purchase one separately while still benefiting from the convenience of a pre-assembled aircraft.
PNP (Plug & Play): PNP RC planes come almost ready to fly, typically requiring only minimal assembly and the addition of a transmitter, receiver and battery to get airborne. PNP planes are ideal for pilots who already have a compatible transmitter and receiver but prefer the convenience of a partially assembled aircraft.
ARF (Almost Ready To Fly): ARF RC planes come partially assembled and require additional assembly before they can take flight. While ARF planes include most of the major components such as the airframe, wings, and control surfaces, they typically do not include electronics or hardware, allowing pilots to customize their aircraft with their preferred equipment.
RC Plane Builders Kits: For those who enjoy the satisfaction of building their own aircraft from scratch, RC plane builder's kits provide all the necessary components and materials to construct a custom airplane. These kits often include pre-cut balsa or foam parts, hardware, plans, and instructions, allowing hobbyists to build and customize their aircraft to their exact specifications.

Whether you're a beginner looking for a hassle-free flying experience or an experienced pilot who enjoys the challenge of building and customizing your aircraft, there's an RC plane option to suit your preferences and skill level.
