Electronic Control Unit: This unit controls the
motors. Also, it monitors the battery voltage and
turns off the motors when the voltage gets low .That
way there will be enough battery power to operate
the motors for steering during the landing.

Motors:The motors rotate the props to provide thrust.
NiMH Battery: Rechargeable batteries which are

used to power the airplane.
Transmitter (TX): This is the hand-held unit that

sends the signal to the receiver. As you move the
sticks on the transmitter, the motors in the airplane
will react accordingly.
