Here is an image of how the battery power plug is made. As you can see it is a rather simple set-up and easy construction with some wire and two female and one male Dean’s plug.  There is wire going across the pull plug to make the connection, but if you want less sticking out […]

Well, this was a good weekend; I got to fly the SebArt WindS 110!  I have to say that it flies great, very smooth with good control throughout all the maneuvers I put it through. This is just a fun plane to fly.  Look for my complete review on this aircraft in the September issue […]

  A power system’s key components: brushless outrunner motor, ESC and battery pack. When matched and running efficiently, they produce a lot of power. For many, E-power is a sort of mystery, but we all know that it’s a clean, very quiet power source- attributes that appeal to many flying clubs whose members worry about […]

Although the blender is one of the most dramatic 3D maneuvers, it actually predates 3D flight. I remember seeing variations of it done more than a dozen years ago, and it was even described in the manuals of some aerobatic-model kits that I designed for Midwest Products back in the mid-’90s. The basic maneuver existed […]

This tip for all you guys who fly electrics which is a lot of people. Remember never go more than 1C unless the battery manufacturer recommends it. How do […]

they say that it is the guy with the yellow flags in front of the landing pad that makes it all possible………………… but i still think that pilot is the MAN! Imagine catching up to a ship moving into the wind at 20kts with a gusty 30 knot headwind and gusts moving over the cabin at 50+ […]
