New digital technology and its impact on the future of RC model hobby
As new digital technology is making its way into RC models, the face of RC models is changing because more and more people are interested in buying them. Sales on airplane, quadcopters and car RC hobby models are higher than they have ever been. This is because there are more out-of-the-box models that don’t require any assembly. It also is because the technology prevents a lot of accidents that could otherwise damage a model. There is a new technology when it comes to the radios that are offering a lot of benefits. This is a spread spectrum radio that is standard on almost all of the RC radios, with the exception of the toy modes. The spread spectrum radio provides more freedom. Ultimately, the biggest problem with RC models has always been the interference issues. Particularly with flying a RC plane, if someone were to get on your frequency, it could send your plane crashing down. With the newer technology, there are no frequency conflicts and therefore no issues. It uses a wide range of radio spectrum, therefore eliminating the frequency problems. There are two types of spread spectrum radios. FHSS or frequency hopping changes the frequency multiple times in …
