Combat Model Aircraft Games

Flying an RC aircraft through open air can be a lot of fun, but having an aerial combat can increase the excitement 100 times over. Whether you are flying turbine jets or Cessna's, there are plenty of fun games you can play. Listed below are some of the most popular combat aircraft games.

Aerial Combat

There are many different ways you can simulate aircraft combat without endangering your aircraft. Start by finding as many friends as you can and dividing all of your friends into separate teams. Attach a colored streamer or another device on each plane, so it will be easy to identify which plane belongs to what team. Let all the planes take off in succession, but do not start the game until everyone is ready.

The goal of this game is to use your airplane's propeller to cut the other streamer of the opponents aircraft. This game is not suitable for a model jet, but it can be used on any aircraft with a propeller. After a certain amount of playing time, all the planes should land and the length of each streamer can be measured. The team that is left with the longest length of streamers will win.

This game can be played with any number of aircraft, but remember that too many planes will increase the risk of collision. It is also important to have a wide area for playing to give each aircraft lots of space. Experienced pilots are also recommended.

Limbo

Limbo is very easy to play, but it can very risky. Find a large soccer or football field and have your aircraft fly through the posts and other obstacles. Ensure that there are no people in the area, or they may get hurt by the aircraft. You can also construct your own obstacles using PVC pipes.

Dropping Bombs

Model jet enthusiasts often alter their planes with the capability of dropping payloads and bombs. If you want to add this feature to your plane, you will need to build a launching mechanism. Some of these devices are built simple wood and a rubber band, while others are more elaborate.

With two or more aircrafts, you can compete to see who can drop bombs the fastest on a specific location. Create a marker on the ground with the exact place to drop the bomb. The first player who drops the payload over the exact marker wins.
