A captive plane is a model plane which does not fly free, but is held like a kite by a rope from the "pilot". The rope is not only used for holding, but it also allows steering the plane.
Captive planes can be powered by a combustion or by an electric engine.Nowadays most people building model planes prefer radio-controlled planes, because they operate more realistically.
