On a sunny day, RC vehicle and ship enthusiasts can be seen in the parks and streets, maneuvering their intricate toys. For both competitive racing and play, RC toys are often used. High levels of customization, variation, and required skill levels are draws for large crowds of RC toy enthusiasts. Many models and kits exist today for the casual and expert hobbyist alike. Any child over the age of three, with adult supervision, can enjoy playing with and tinkering with RC vehicles and boats. Starter kits are cheap, around ten dollars, but professional kits and parts can cost up to three hundred dollars. Leonardo Torres Quevedo created the original Remote controlled apparatus, the ‘Telekino’, in 1903, using a series a series of electromagnetic wave lengths. While lack of funding stalled the project, Torres still aspired to apply this technology to torpedoes. The very first Remote controlled airplane took to the skies in 1937. With the ensuing World War II, RC airplanes and small vehicles were intensively refined and utilized. Some radio manufacturers of the 1930’s made rudimentary RCs for their radios. As this technology advanced, radios were required to use fewer wires to accept the signal, making the first low frequency RCs. This was the first RC made available for a consumer product. RC is used to stop signals, guide missiles from afar, and create explosive devices in military warfare. Using wire and commands from an airplane, the German imperial army utilized RC to build underwater bombs that could impact below ships and have devastating effects. RC tanks were used by the Red Army in Soviet Russia. These uses of RC were aggressive, but allowed refinement and perfection of RC technology. Allowing astronauts control of objects outside their ships, the culmination in RC technology is vital to outer space journeys. In areas with lakes and calm rivers, RC boat racing is a common pastime. During the fourth of July, RC tug boat racing is a common event. In their element, RC tug boats are considered more difficult to race than RC cars. With every advance in technology, the range of RC tug boats is expanded. RC tug boats maneuver slightly better in salt water due to the buoyancy. It is highly recommended that when playing with RC tug boats, the body of water used be relatively calm and flat. RC tug boats should be dried thoroughly after each use to prevent rust. Mechanisms to pull other model boats along are often included in RC tug boats. More professional Remote controlled boat races are held, with prize money or certificates for the winners. RC technology was perfected with RC tug boats, cars, and the like. In the modern day, gaming system controllers and TV remotes, among many other things, utilize this technology. A certain undeniable charm is held by wooden ships, and tug boats, especially.
