the present invention is a radio - controlled model aircraft system with laser tag capabilities . a transmitter and receiver are each installed in at least two separate rc aircrafts . the transmitter on one aircraft emits an infrared light beam to the receiver on the other aircraft that changes the infrared signal to a first servo to move an arm , which releases a model aircraft door behind which there are ribbons . the ribbons escape from the aircraft wings to show a hit . an optional second servo operate a smoke screen and eject a pilot to simulate actual combat . the system may also include audio and lighting effects to simulate firing and hit sequences with accompanying theatrical , physical effects including release of smoke and ribbons , and ejection of the pilot that realistically simulates air combat .
