== Round-the-pole flying with Radio Control == There is another concept of RTP flying. This concept is with throttle and elevator control. This was invented by the model building club " [http://www.kottenparkmodelbouwclub.com kottenpark modelbouw club] (in Dutch). This is done by using a normal RC-controller. In the pole is a RC-receiver including a RC-servo for controlling the elevator and a speed controller for regulation the electrical motor in the aircraft. Elevator control and the electrical motor control is done with 2 electrical wires from the pole to the model aircraft. The elevator control is done by shortening one wire while simultaneously lengthening the other wire. This motion is converted in the model aircraft to control the elevator. The whole idea behind this setup is to learn flying with remote control, because you have only 2 degrees of freedom.
