I am building a 80cm wingspan one propeller foam board airplane.It is almost like the Flitetest simple scorch without the wheels and a few small modifications. when i took it out to test, I pitch the elevator to 45degrees up and hand launched the rc plane at full throttle. First test the...

so I am highly interested in the hobby of drone racing, in my case maybe a bit of bashing before I can think about racing. the past Christmas my sister got me a cheaper toy camera drone her thoughts were that id really like it because I've been into racing and bashing brushless rc cars and...

So I am completely new to the Scratch built rc line, and decided (even though multiple people have warned me not to), to start with the PUN JET! Yes yes it is not a good starter plane, but I wanted to start with it. I got through building it just fine until I tried connecting it to my spektrum...

Hi everyone. I'm a fulltime student, studying mechanical engineering. I've been looking for part time jobs, I've also been thinking about working for myself part time. I've been considering setting up for taking aerial photography. Just a couple of days a week to help with fees and living...

Just letting people know that there are some really cheap lipos available with HKs Cyber Sale. Mostly high capacity ones, but new deals come out every now and then. I got a 4s 5200 for $15 vs $40 a couple weeks ago. Also not just lipos for cheap, you may find a great price on an item you've been...

Are foamies a good idea? Short answer : YES Long answer: YES but don't make it your pride and joy as you are going to crash it and it is going to break. i made an FT-Flyer as my first plane and they fly really well to begin with but as you fly them and have a few hard landings either on the...

It is a massive problem, you watch these videos on youtube where they go out and but foam for $1 and build there plane and fly it and have fun but then you go out and buy $13 foam board that doesn't work very well and you don't have fun because it doesn't fly. Us Australians need some cheap...

Thought it'd be kinda interesting to see what you guys think of this. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__73115__HobbyKing_8482_Zulu_Slope_Electric_Wing_Composite_1400mm_ARF_.html Seems kinda cool. Personally, I wouldn't get one just because of issues I've had in the past with...

Hi, In about month Belgium will have it's first ever drone convention (http://www.droneconvention.eu/). There will be various speakers talking about safety, regulations, security and applications of drones. Even the Belgian minister of defense is going to talk BUT... as you can already guess...

I posted the other day in hopes to get help in making my first RC parts purchase. I've got my cart full of goodies, but I would love to have someone look it over to make sure it will all work together, and to tell me if I need any extra adapters/connectors. Thanks for taking the time to read...

Hello everybody. I am here with my hat in my hand as they say to ask of you all a huge favour. As you al well know, you are all under the hammer in the States with the new FAA ruling and I have spread the word here in Spain amongst the forums I am on, and people have signed from the on the...

Just as the title states is this possible? I am looking at getting one of the Hobby King Radjet 420's and it comes with the mini 1.25 plugs, but i have a frsky accst RX that takes standard servo connections. I was going to just cut and solder on some regular plugs. Plane in question...

Hi guys, I am not new to the RC genre and I have plenty of experience with ESC, Tx/Rx etc. I even built my own plane that didn't go too well (Crashed). However, I now want to buy a proper first plane, preferably from HobbyKing. Something for under a $60-100, ARF is fine. Please suggest some...
