This ebook answers some of the most commonly asked good questions we get. WHAT PROP, MOTOR, BATTERY, ETC DO YOU GET FOR YOUR PLANE??? The secret to this is you build or buy the ENTIRE airplane around a “magic prop.” Click on the link above for a “infomercial video” on it. We have 3 previous test flights of this project here: www.rcpowers.com Ok, so what I am up to with this project is to “BREAK THROUGH THE HIGH ALPHA BARRIER.” What that means is I am trying to get a RC jet to fly at about walking speed with its nose at 70-90 degrees (most all airplanes stall and fall when they hit 30-45 degrees because their wings are no longer getting lift, see. 3 Ways I am doing this. All 3 are needed and work together: 1) I have both my motors able to “Thrust Vector”, Google that term if you need to… This gives me control with or without airspeed by just moving the thrust of my motors around. 2) I have the canards (pitch/up and down control) and my ailerons (roll control) flip back into the wind with switches on my controller once the plane exceeds 40 degrees. Without this, these control surfaces would be trying to stall and crash the plane for me, rather than facing back into the wind and giving me control at high angles of attack (40 degrees and above). 3) Gyro stabilization.

Flying a radio controlled helicopter is sheer fun but it also requires lot of preparation, practice, and knowledge about the functioning of such RC helicopters. Hence, it is important that you first understand the basics about radio controlled helicopters before you start flying them. The fundamental information of setting up the RC helicopters, learning to fly them, and realizing the subtleties of manoeuvring them without crashing them are briefly presented here. Associate with an Experienced Flyer Setting up an RC helicopter is quite a professional job and you may not be able to do it alone in the beginning. It will be advisable to take the advice and guidance of an experienced flyer for the first time at least, until you are fully thorough with the process of setting up the radio controlled helicopter. A properly set up helicopter will be flying smoothly and the control of the helicopter will also be that much easy. Moreover, the experienced flyer will be able to present you with valuable tips and points on your learning process of flying the RC helicopter and also point out the mistakes that you are making. This will be very helpful in perfecting your flying such RC helicopters. Even if you have to pay a fee for such an experienced instructor, you should consider it only as an additional and initial but valuable investment. Another option is to use an RC helicopter flight simulator. The actual flying experience will be different when you use a simulator and when you actually fly a helicopter. Even then, using a simulator in the absence of an already experienced flyer will be quite helpful for real-life helicopter flying. Be Patient and Proceed Step by Step During your learning process, you should be very patient and proceed by taking small steps. If you try too much or become impatient, you will only crash your helicopter, which will not only cost you considerable loss of money but will also affect your self-confidence of flying such helicopters successfully. The process of learning to fly an RC helicopter with adequate expertise is a long process and several intricate stages are involved in it. It will be advisable to learn all the intricacies of each stage and perfecting them before proceeding to the next stage. Initially, this may be a bit frustrating but such patient learning will help you avoid several problems later on. If you try to hurry and crash the helicopter, you are not only grounded for a fair amount of time but repairing or re-assembling the copter will be a tedious and money-costing process. Learn from your Mistakes In the beginning, you are likely to make mistakes and that is unavoidable. However, you should mentally note down the mistakes and think of proper remedies against such mistakes. Only then, you will be able to reduce and finally eliminate all mistakes in flying RC helicopters and take the right steps even when you make a mistake. Finally, you will be one of the expert RC helicopter flyers in your area and enjoy this hobby. You can even take it as a sport and participate in flying competitions.
How I built the “Model Slipway’s” model boat AZIZ. Now renamed Red Pelican.
This is a short video of the MX-2 Extreme Aerobatic Scale Electric Aircraft. The winds were blowing more than 20mph with cross winds and gusts up to 40mph during the video! Did the best I could to bring you guys a video! I did have some Alpha FUN with the MX-2! This is a ready to fly package! I will make a second video on a day where the winds are less strong. This is one of the most aerobatic 3D RTF planes I have ever tested. It is as good or better than Extra 300, or the Popular Yak54’s …
If someone is interested in radio controlled hobbies, they almost always start with a car. Unlike a boat or a plane, cars usually won’t be completely destroyed if they fail. It is very easy to make a basic radio controlled car, but as you do it you will discover that there is a huge amount of knowledge that can be gained. As you gain this knowledge, you can start to use advanced techniques to create cars that are stronger, faster, or more efficient than your previous ones. You can throw one together in a few minutes, or you can spend months creating an amazing car with superb speed and handling. The amount of effort you put into it is entirely up to you. If you are just starting with radio controlled hobbies, it is probably wise to just buy a pre-made radio controlled car. You can buy these in toy shops almost anywhere. It may be slow and clumsy, and it may not satisfy your technological urges, but it is a good place to start. Play with it for a couple of days, and then take it apart. Look at the way the motors are connected to the wheels, and look at the general architecture of the car. After you understand it all, you will have much better luck when you start to build your own. You may even be able to use a few parts, such as the body of the car or the radio equipment. The motors will probably not be as strong as you would like. After you have gained this essential basic understanding of the way that radio controlled cars work, you can start on whatever you want your next project to be. For most people, their goal is to build a model car from wood or plastic, install the electrical components, paint it, apply decals, and basically get it looking as good and performing as good as possible. Others may want to build an incredibly fast remote controlled car to show off to friends. No matter what you want to do, you will only be able to achieve it if you take it one step at a time and learn everything there is to know about remote controlled hobbies. Many different resources can help you out along your way to becoming an expert in radio controlled hobbies. You will probably be spending a lot of time researching all of the different information that you need. You can find it all over the internet, including many different tutorials. For more specific questions, you can go to community groups and forums. This is where people from all over the world gather together on the internet to discuss their hobby, support each other, and brag about their latest accomplishments. Usually they are very welcoming to newcomers, especially if you are very clear and polite in asking your question. Radio controlled cars don’t have to be without competition. If you want to put your car up against those of other enthusiasts, you can find many different races and exhibitions around the world. Just do a quick internet search, and find out what the nearest option is. You might have to take a weekend trip, but it will be worth it to be around those who are as passionate as you about what you are doing. These meetings may include races, or just a good old convention to share tips and tricks with other radio hobbyists. You would be surprised at the large amount of information that you can learn from the people who go to these events. Starting a new hobby may be daunting at first, since there is a wealth of information that you probably know nothing about. However, if you just get started with the basics and use all of your resources that are at your disposal, you will be able to succeed.
