Radio Control Combat

Nothing is more exhilarating than the sound of six planes banking and climbing and chasing each other through the air. Radio controlled combat is a rapidly growing segment of the RC hobby, and the Radio Controlled Combat Association's rules for combat provide a clear framework for aspiring aces. You can fly in any of the three classes of combat: Scale 2105, scale 2610, and Open combat. The 2105 and 2610 scale classes require you use a model of a combat aircraft that flew from between 1935 and 1955. 2105 class limits engine size to .21, and 2610 class limits engine size to .26 inch displacement. Open combat, on the other hand, allows you to fly any plane depending on the engine class of the contest.
