Indoor RC Airplanes

Anyone can fly indoor RC airplanes!

There’s no need to join a club or worry about the safety issues involved with flying larger RC airplanes. These little guys can also take much more abuse than conventional RC airplanes!

Already know how to fly but don’t have the time to make it to the flying field? Is the weather just not cooperating? Just too darn lazy to go anywhere? Trust me, I know how it feels when you really have the urge to fly but just can’t get out. Indoor RC airplanes make it way too easy to get your flying fix regardless of the weather or your hectic schedule!

Micro RC Airplanes

When an RC airplane is small enough to be flown in your living room, consider it a micro RC airplane. It’s amazing to see what's become available over the past few years as technology has allowed for smaller and smaller functioning parts.

This tiny Palm Z micro RC airplane has a wing span of only 8 inches and weighs less than 10 grams!

Equipped with a state of the art lipoly battery that allows for up to 7 minutes flying time between after charging for only 10 to 12 minutes. The airplanes plugs directly into the transmitter for charging, eliminating the need for an additional charger.

Constructed from tough expanded EPP foam that makes it possible for you to fly again after those not so pretty landings.

The price of these little guys have come down significantly. Heck, at this price, I don't know why everyone doesn't have one! The Palm Z makes a great introductory airplane for a shoestring budget.

Weighing in at only 3 grams, the Carbon Butterfly Indoor Flyer is the Cadillac of micro RC airplanes!

As seen in the video, it's unbelievably small size allows it to be flown in some pretty tight spaces.

It takes innovation to manufacture working parts this small. A specially designed fully proportional magnetic actuator is used for precise rudder control. It has a very tiny state of the art receiver.

While these tiny components clearly drive up the price of this indoor airplane, the included accessories help justify that cost.

It comes with a nice briefcase to protect the airplane when transporting. It also comes with a flight simulator and included interface cord.

When you buy the Carbon Butterfly you get the world's smallest indoor RC airplane, a carrying case, and a flight simulator all in one package.

The Parkzone Vapor RTF indoor RC airplane has 3-channel control unlike the airplanes mentioned above.

This means you have elevator and rudder control that gives you much more control over the airplane

As you can see in the video, the Vapor's extreme slow speed in addition to the added control of the third channel makes it a breeze to maneuver around the living room!

The vapor utilizes Spektrum's DSM2 technology. If you already have a Spektrum DSM2 radio, you can save some cash with theParkzone Vapor Bind-N-Fly by using your own radio!

Mini RC Airplanes

Some indoor RC airplanes are small enough to be flown in a small gymnasium or auditorium, but are not quite small enough to be flown in your living room.

The Parkzone Micro Citabria RTF is very popular indoor RC airplane.

This 3-Channel tiny replica of the full scale Citibria is perfect for flying in a gymnasium or warehouse. It can also be flown outside on calm days.

No need to worry about interference from your buddy's plane thanks to included 2.4Ghz radio system.

The included charger for the LiPo batteries doubles as a display stand!

The Micro Citibria comes ready to fly right from the box. All you have to do is charge the batteries!

The Parkzone Micro Cessna 210 RTF is very similar to the Micro Citibria

The Cessna has a bit more zing, so it requires a larger area to fly. The Citibria can fly much slower and therefore requires much less space to fly.

The Citibria is a bit more responsive but doesn’t do well with wind should you decide to fly outdoors.

This video goes to show how the included 2.4Ghz radio comes in handy! All those indoor RC airplanes flying together with no interference and no need for checking frequencies.
