Composite-material technologies have matured over the past 40 years to the point where high performance composites are being used to enhance the performance of nearly every new flight vehicle [1]. Carbon fibers have been used to replace metals used in composite materials because its performance-price is changing favorably [2]. They are also lighter and stronger than metals. This is the main reason why carbon fibers are used in composite materials. They also reduce fuel consumption and provide energy efficiency [2]. Furthermore, they have been used in many products, such as cars, airplanes, sporting goods, space vehicles and custom-designed products [2]. In this study, carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite (CREC) was prepared and the flight performance of a radio controlled model helicopter with CREC chassis was evaluated. According to test flights it was observed that carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites increase the flight performance of model helicopters.
