Planes, Drones, Robots –Oh My!

October was a busy month for East Cobb Robotics.  We visited the Cobb County Radio Control Modeler’s Club in Acworth.

Photo of the team and CCRC members taken by their drone!

CCRC members showcased entry-level radio control airplanes, drones, helicopters and a plane that runs on jet fuel.  (Due to the size of the runway this plane was unable to fly –it is very loud!)  During the demo flights our driver’s fingers were itching to get their hands on the controls!  We are thankful to say there were no crashes or in flight collisions this was due to teaming up with an experienced pilot and strictly following their instruction

A key to successful radio control operation is the controls function logically while the plane is flying away from you however, while flying toward you everything is reversed.  The left lever is now controlling the right flap, etc.  Team members learned about scale, various materials used in exterior construction, electrical systems, thrust, lift, propulsion and what a fun hobby this can be!

It’s no surprise that the careers of our hosts ranged from technology to aeronautical engineering and of course – a pilot!  We really appreciate the time they took with our team and the guidance they provided.
