Author: Whether it is a helicopter or an airplane, make sure you are buying a quality radio controlled aircraft. Every holiday season it seems like every retailer tries to sell RC aircrafts, many of which are pieces of junk. Any kind of plane or helicopter that is offered for twenty dollars you don’t even want to buy, because half the time they are not the kind of quality you want, and you will end up disappointing the person you buy them for. Why is this? Because most of these cheap products are not made with high quality materials, the batteries are also of poor quality, and flight time is around five minutes or less.
In order to find the best radio controlled aircraft, if you are really serious about this hobby, is to go online. There are online retailers that sell all kinds of high quality RC aircrafts. These are solidly constructed, made from high impact plastic and other materials, have the latest state-of-the-art electronics, as well as the best lithium batteries made. This means that they will last longer, have a better flight time, and take the abuse of even the most novice of users.
There are many different advantages of using electric radio controlled air craft. One of the biggest is that gas powered models use a volatile fuel mixture. This is messy to deal with, hard to fill the tanks, and dangerous to use. While you may go faster, the fuel doesn’t last that long. Because it uses gasoline, it is dangerous for younger users to handle. Because it uses a combustion engine, it puts harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. They are really noisy as well, and so you have to worry about people around you.
Electric RC aircrafts are much easier to operate, and most are ready-to-run right out of the box. All you have to do is put the battery pack in for larger models and you’re off and flying. Even ones that have built in batteries are good for at least a half an hour before having to charge them up. They are much safer for beginners to operate, and the rotors and blades don’t spin so fast that they could to some serious injury or harm. Many people who use electric radio controlled aircraft buy few extra batteries so the can extend their flight time.
When you are buying radio controlled aircraft, make sure that it comes with everything included to fly your plane or helicopter. Make sure you look carefully at the product descriptions. They should include the helicopter or plane, the battery pack as well as the charger, and the Radio Controller. You need to be careful, because some kits come with everything except the RC controller. It would really be a bummer if you spent top dollar for a quality product, only to find out it didn’t include the transmitter.

In recent years, the number of small aircraft accidents has risen significantly. The increase in small aircraft crashes is often attributed to the higher number of personal aircraft in the skies over the U.S. While large commuter aircraft must follow strict federal safety regulations, smaller aircraft are often allowed to follow more lax procedures involving maintenance, takeoff, flight, and landing.
Although flying a small aircraft can be a tremendously rewarding experience (and may be necessary for commutes to smaller or out-of-the-way locales, standardized aircraft safety rules should be followed at all times. Accidents involving small planes, gliders, and jets often result in severe injury or death to the pilot and passengers on board. Such accidents are often cause for personal injury lawsuits against the parties responsible for the accidents and can cost quite a bit of money in legal fees and compensation for the victims.
People seeking to fly private aircraft should be sure to enroll in an accredited flight-instruction course and should log the required hours in order to receive their pilots’ license.
Before boarding a private aircraft, make sure the pilot is properly licensed and experienced before agreeing to fly. There is no substitute for real-time experience when it comes to flying an aircraft, and pilots should be comfortable in the cockpit before flying without supervision.
Another issue that may plague private aircraft is a lack of proper maintenance. The electronics and aviation systems on aircraft often require constant maintenance to ensure proper operation. Some private aircraft are kept at small airfields or private hangars and may not receive the necessary maintenance to ensure correct operation while in the air. Navigation, control, and landing systems are examples of essential equipment that should be properly maintained to avoid accidents.
Private aircraft pilots should follow all protocol when in the air, including following scheduled flight paths and using the correct identification when communicating to other pilots and to the ground. Straying from the scheduled flight path may lead to trouble and make search and rescue operations more difficult in the case of a crash.
Small aircraft can be extremely useful for commuting, entertainment, and general transportation. Safety should be first and foremost in the mind of the small aircraft, because when it comes to aircraft accidents, there is usually little room for error.

Originally founded as the Taylor Brothers Aircraft Manufacturing Company in September 1927 by Clarence Gilbert Taylor and Gordon A. Taylor in Rochester, New York. The company was renamed Taylor Brothers Aircraft Corporation in April 1928, shortly before Gordon Taylor died in a plane crash on April 24, 1928. The company was enticed to move to Bradford, Pennsylvania with the promise of larger facility and investment capital from local businessmen, including an initial investment of 0 from local oilman William T. Piper. The move was completed in September, 1929.[citation needed]
In late 1930 the company filed for bankruptcy and William T. Piper purchased the assets of the company for 1. Reorganized as the Taylor Aircraft Company, Piper effectively took control of the firm when he assumed the position of corporate secretary-treasurer, although he retained C. G. Taylor in the role of president. Piper, often called the “Henry Ford of Aviation”, firmly believed that a simple-to-operate low-cost private airplane would flourish, even in the darkest depths of the Great Depression.[citation needed]
In December 1935, after a series of clashes, William Piper bought out C. G. Taylor, who left the company and went on to form the Taylorcraft Aircraft Company. On March 16, 1937 a fire destroyed the Bradford factory and Piper relocated to an abandoned silk mill in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. By November, 1937, all traces of Taylors’ involvement with the company were erased when it was renamed Piper Aircraft Corporation.[citation needed]
Piper continued operations in Lock Haven throughout World War II. In their business planning following the war, it became clear that the Lock Haven facility would not support larger manufacturing efforts, and in 1955, they acquired rights to property at the Vero Beach Municipal Airport. Initially, this location was limited to the design and production of the Piper Cherokee series.[citation needed]
The Lock Haven facility was nearly destroyed in 1972 when torrential rains from Hurricane Agnes caused the great Susquehanna River flood of 1972, flooding the manufacturing plant and destroying airframes, parts, and much of the tooling necessary for production of several designs, including the Aztec, Navajo, and Comanche. The company eleced to abandon production of the Piper PA-24 Comanche and Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche, neither of which were selling particularly well (and were very expensive to produce), move the production of remaining models to Florida, and within 5 years close all operations in Pennsylvania.[citation needed]
Manufacture ceased in the mid 1980′s when increasing insurance premiums made continued operation financially impossible for Piper Aircraft and other American sellers of light aircraft. Upon limitation of liability provided by new legislation in the early 90′s, manufacturing re-commenced in 1995. The firm was re-branded New Piper Aircraft at that time.[citation needed]
On July 2003, American Capital Strategies, Ltd. bought 94% of Piper’s voting equity.[citation needed]
In August 2006 the firm dropped the “New” from its name, reverting to Piper Aircraft. Also in that month, a partnership with Honda was announced to market the new HondaJet.[citation needed]
On 1 May 2009 American Capital Strategies sold the company to Singapore-based investment strategy company Imprimis, making a profit of USM on the sale. Piper headquarters will remain in Vero Beach, while the company is expected to seek expanded markets in Asia through Imprimis. Imprimis is funded by the Government of Brunei and has offices in Bangkok, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam.
In June 2009 James Bass, CEO of Piper Aircraft since 2005, announced that he would step down effective 26 June 2009. He was succeeded by VP of operations Kevin Gould. During his four years at Piper, Bass oversaw development of the PiperJet, the Meridian G1000 and the Matrix and negotiated a new business partnership with Honda. He also negotiated million in incentives from the state and county that retained Piper’s factory in Vero Beach, Florida.
On 2 November 2009 another Piper executive resigned. Company president John Becker announced his resignation effective 1 December 2009 to “to pursue other career opportunities”. Becker was replaced as President by CEO Kevin Gould.
On 4 January 2010 the company announced that Boeing subsidiary Aviall will act as Piper’s sole global parts distributor.
2008/09 economic crisis
In response to the economic situation the company announced in November 2008 that it was reducing its work-week to save money while avoiding lay-offs. Piper is party to an agreement with the state of Florida that will see the company benefit from USD million in incentives in exchange for increasing its work force to 1400 people plus building the PiperJet in the state.
In December 2008 the company announced that it will defer the USDM incentive that would have required it to hire 400 new workers by 2012 for the PiperJet project and retain 1,417 employees through 2015. The company stated that the move was precautionary. Piper spokesman Mark Miller said: “While this year has been a good one for Piper, we have taken measures to keep the company healthy and to weather any future adversity.”
In February 2009 the company announced that it was laying off an additional 300 workers without notice immediately and that the 650 remaining workers would be given unpaid weeks off in April and July to reduce unsold inventory. Piper spokesman Mark Miller stated that company regrets the pain caused by the layoffs and indicated that the employees will be rehired when the economy improves. He also said: “Even the willing buyers that we have find it incredibly difficult to get financing…We can’t keep a full workforce on at this point when people aren’t buying planes…If market conditions continue to deteriorate, it may be necessary for the company to take additional actions.” On 24 February 2009 the company announced that it would add two more weeks of unpaid furlough for its employees in May and June, bringing the total to four weeks in 2009, citing a need to reduce inventory and cut expenses.
Aircraft
Piper produced the Piper J-3 Cub, a two seat, 65 horsepower (48 kW) high-wing, single-engine aircraft. The Cub was the first inexpensive training aircraft produced in large numbers. Many former military examples were sold to civilian owners over the 1950-1995 period and seem certain to see many more years in recreational use. The more powerful Piper PA-18 Super Cub is popular for use as a glider tug.[citation needed]
The PA-28 Cherokee has been one of the company’s most successful products with variants being manufactured almost every other year. Both this design and the twin-engined PA-34 Seneca are used for pilot training around the world. The PA-23 Apache was one of the first aircraft associated with the term “air taxi” although it was superseded in that role by faster and more spacious designs from the competitive Beechcraft Corporation. In recent years, aircraft from SOCATA, and more lately Cirrus Design and Diamond Aircraft Industries, have been strong competitors with the Cherokee and Cessna designs that traditionally dominated flying schools.[citation needed]
Beginning production in 1965, the Piper PA-32 Series provided 6 or 7 seat single-engine designs based on the smaller Cherokee. Variously named the “Cherokee Six”, “Lance” and “Saratoga” these were available with both fixed and retractable gear models and with normally aspirated, fuel injected and turbo-charged engines. The PA-32s proved popular with private owners, air taxi and freight companies. Production of the Saratoga-II HPs and Saratoga TCs ended in 2009.
With the pressurized single-engined PA-46 Malibu, the company offers an aircraft for the lighter-end of the corporate aircraft market.[citation needed]
Current projects
Piper Seneca PA-34
In October 2006, Piper Aircraft announced the first jet (that the company would work all the way from design to production) that they would be developing, a single-engined very light jet (VLJ), known as the PA-47 PiperJet, to compete with the twin-engined Eclipse 500 and Cessna Citation Mustang. The aircraft will carry six (6) passengers, have a single, tail-mounted turbofan, and be capable of cruising at 360 knots (670 km/h), at a maximum altitude of 35,000 ft (11,000 m) Maximum range will be 1300 nm, with a full-fuel payload of 800 lb (360 kg). A selling price of .199 m (2006 USD) is quoted. An Entry-into-Service date of early 2010 is anticipated. On June 30, 2008 the Piper Jet made its maiden test flight at Vero Beach, Florida.
In September 2007, Piper announced the PA-46R-350T Matrix, an unpressurized, single-engine piston aircraft based on the Mirage. It will seat six and will be sold for a base price of 7,000 (2007 USD), to be a third model in the Malibu family, along with the top-end, turboprop-powered Meridian and the Piper Mirage.
On 21 January 2010 the company announced that they have licenced the CZAW SportCruiser and will market it as the PiperSport. Piper CEO Kevin Gould said: “The PiperSport is an amazing entry-level aircraft that will bring new customers into Piper and lead the way for those customers to step up into more sophisticated and higher performance aircraft within our line over time.”
