Aero Ace Micro Electric RC Planes

 

The twin pusher propellers can be clearly seen in this rear view of the Aero Ace electric RC planes. Note the lightweight boom that holds on the vertical fin and horizontal stabilizer.

As mentioned above, the tail surfaces of this one of a kind micro electric RC planes have no moving control surfaces (normally a rudder and elevator) to guide the model. More details on how the Aero Ace flies in flight section below.

Once you get comfortable with the Aero Ace's differential power control scheme, do try one of the ParkZone aircraft fully proportional RTF RC micro RC planes.

 

Bottom view of the Aero Ace electric RC planes shows the on-off switch for the onboard, rechargeable flight battery. The Aero Ace's battery powers the two motors as well the electric RC planes radio receiver.

The lightweight foam materials used in this ready to fly micro electric RC planes are the key to this model's superb flight characteristics.

 

 

 

The transmitter and charger are combined for the Aero Ace electric RC planes. This is a great feature, common with many of the ready to fly micro electric RC planes, and it very easy to be able to recharge your Aero Ace between flights. Spring loaded throttle control is on the right, and the left-right steering control is on the right.

The charging jack wire and connector is shown at the top of the transmitter. This jack plugs into the belly of the Aero Ace electric RC planes. Typical charges take 10-15 minutes, and the Aero Ace will fly for up to 10 minutes on this charge, depending on throttle use. More throttle, means more power, and less flight time.

 

 

Flying the Aero Ace Micro Electric RC Planes

The Aero Ace is easy to fly once you understand the unique method of flight control through differential thrust with no moving control surfaces. The aero Ace flies right at the edge of a stall per its design, but maintains full control. Due to the light weight of the Aero Ace, it is best flown indoors, and outdoors under calm wind conditions.

The throttle (left stick on transmitter) is spring loaded to off (down). You need to consciously keep the throttle where you need it. I mention this, as your thumb can get a bit tired, and without realizing it, you relax and reduce your throttle setting. If you do not keep the throttle in the same position and allow it to creep down, you are reducing power to the Aero Ace, and you'll note the model slowly descending. Just remember that if your Aero Ace is losing altitude, increase the power. Consider also practice your RC flight skills using one of the RC flight sim computer programs

Any aircraft is built, or trimmed, to maintain level flight at a given power setting. Increase the power, and you climb. Decrease the power, and you descend. This is just how you will fly the Aero Ace; use power (throttle control on the left of the transmitter) climb, dive or maintain level flight.

As I mentioned earlier, the Aero Ace electric RC planes does not have any moving control surfaces, usually the elevator (for pitch) and rudder (for turn). This is very unusual, but makes the Aero Ace even more fun, as you are learning a very new way to fly.

 

 

 

The Aero Ace electric RC planes turns by differential power between its two electric pusher motors. When you want to turn left, you move the right stick on the transmitter to the left. The left motor reduces power, causing the model to turn to the left. Note that this slight reduction in the left motor power will cause the Aero Ace to lose a bit of altitude. Not a problem, just keep in mind the need to slightly increase power any time you turn to maintain a level turn.

After a very short time, you'll instinctively find that you "bump" the right side transmitter control stick left or right to turn the Aero Ace electric RC planes. The model turns quickly, and does a very good job of getting on heading. It is just plain fun to see the Aero Ace flying a few feet in front of you, in full control. When you get comfortable with this fun little RTF airplane, the next step is the ParkZone Ember, followed by the ultimate model aircraft for indoor RC flying fun, the ParkZone aircraft Sukhoi.
