    UAV

    Hey guys, this is my first post here. I was wondering if there was an UAV Ft models for download? I’m thinking FPV platforms with motor in back. The tail-rudder is supported by carbon fiber spars on either side.

    Hi! I'm Brie. I'm new to the hobby, I built a foam FliteTest kit years ago when I was younger and haven't been involved since then. I plan to get an EDF trainer to learn to fly while I learn about plane design and work on a custom EDF jet.

    Is amain or HobbyTown legit?

    I want to get a Radial F Power Pack, but it's out of stock on the website, so I looked for other places to buy it. I found two websites, which were hobbytown.com and amain.com. So I was wondering if either site is legitimate or a scam.

    Question about DIY aircraft

    So, I’ve recently been trying to get into the hobby of RC planes, and I was thinking I would buy a Fokker from the mighty mini series. It said stuff about the propellers and battery, but nothing about a controller and stuff. So I was hoping someone could tell me what I need to assemble and fly...

    Brand New! Please help!

    Hi everyone. My name is Joe and I am just starting to get interested in this hobby. I am an old git (52) but want to get started in this hobby by building my first plane before I plant it in the ground!
