ABSTRACT:
A model airplane flight simulator which enables a model airplane to be maneuvered by a remote control device through pitch, yaw and roll without movement over ground. The model airplane includes most of the attributes of a flying model such as one and preferably two, motor-driven propellers for generating airflow over control surfaces which include actuator controlled ailerons, elevator and rudder and a remote control device for selectively controlling these features from the remote location. The control device may utilize hard wiring or radio signal to activate the actuator system. No airfoil for wing lift is required in that the model airplane is supported within a rigid inner ring or hoop to which wing or fuselage extension rods coaxially extending from each wing tip or from each end of the fuselage are connected at diametrically opposing points on the inner ring for free rotation of the model airplane within the inner ring about one rotational axis. The inner ring is itself supportively connected for free rotation within a rigid outer ring or hoop along another rotational axis orthogonal to that passing through the wing or fuselage extensions. The outer ring, which may also be a half ring, is supportively connected for free rotation to a stationary support or base member about yet another rotational axis orthogonal to and intersecting the second axis at a mid-point between the bearing members connecting the inner and outer rings.
