radio control
Wireless device command
Radio control is the operation of a device from a distance using radio signals.
The term applies to model aircraft, cars, boats, and drones piloted by handheld transmitters: He flew his radio-controlled helicopter in the park.
As an adjective, usually hyphenated: radio-control equipment, RC cars.
Often abbreviated RC.
