Default RE: Where Will RC Be In 10 Years?

More ARFs which will be super expensive and all made in the worlds only superpower (China), less kits which will be even more expensive.

Gas and electric will be the main powerplants. Nitro will be a vintage fad. Continued improvements in lipo and brushless technology will mean lighterweights and larger capacities.

Telemetry and autopilot systems will become much cheaper and more advanced; TXs will really start looking like cockpit HUDs. Flybarless heli will become the standard and much cheaper.

Solor panels or micro alternators that allow the battery to be recharged in flight.

either that, or the proliferation of UAVs and idiot terrorists will have grounded all RC PLanes, only simulators and illegial flying will take place.[&:]
