Saito RC Plane Engines

Saito Engines

Most planes need a powerplant to drive them, the exception being gliders. The most popular types for radio-controlled aircraft are internal combustion engines, electric motors, jet, and rocket engines. Three types of internal combustion engines are available being small 2 and 4 stoke engines. Glowplug engines which use nitro-methanol as fuel, compressive ignition ('diesel') burn parafffin with ether as an ignition agent. Larger engines can be glowplug but increasingly common gasoline is the fuel of choice.

Flying RC aircraft as a hobby has been growing worldwide with the advent of more efficient motors (both electric and miniature internal combustion or jet engines), lighter and more powerful batteries and less expensive radio systems. A wide variety of models and styles is available.

Scientific, government and military organizations are also utilizing RC aircraft for experiments, gathering weather readings, aerodynamic modeling and testing, and even using them as drones or spy planes.
