New Zealand is an island nation in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.

The country geographically comprises two main landmasses—the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu—and around 600 smaller islands.

New Zealand is situated some east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga.

Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans.

During its long period of isolation, New Zealand developed a distinct biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life.

The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions.

New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.

Radio controlled (or R/C) cars are battery/gas-powered model cars or trucks that can be controlled from a distance using a specialized transmitter or remote.

The term "R/C" has been used to mean both "remote controlled" and "radio controlled", where "remote controlled" includes vehicles that are connected to their controller by a wire, but common use of "R/C" today usually refers to vehicles controlled by a radio-frequency link.

This article focuses on radio-controlled vehicles only.

A slot car (sometimes, slotcar or track car) is a powered miniature auto or other vehicle that is guided by a groove or slot in the track on which it runs.

A pin or blade extends from the bottom of the car into the slot.

A hobby is a regular activity that is done for enjoyment, typically during one's leisure time.

Hobbies can include collecting themed items and objects, engaging in creative and artistic pursuits, playing sports, or pursuing other amusements.

A list of hobbies is lengthy and always changing as interests and fashions change.

By continually participating in a particular hobby, one can acquire substantial skill and knowledge in that area.

Engagement in hobbies has increased since the late nineteenth century as workers have more leisure time and advancing production and technology have provided more support for leisure activities.

As some hobbies have become less popular, like stamp collecting, others have been created following technological advances, like video games.

A Radio-controlled helicopter (also RC helicopter) is model aircraft which is distinct from a RC airplane because of the differences in construction, aerodynamics, and flight training.

Several basic designs of RC helicopters exist, of which some (such as those with collective pitch control) are more maneuverable than others.

The more maneuverable designs are often harder to fly, but benefit from greater aerobatic capabilities.
