1. Make sure the plane is properly set up with water rudders true and center of gravity balance correct. Recheck the balance when switching from wheels...
Your aircraft should fly straight and level with minimal stick input. If you constantly need to correct its flight path, it may need trimming. > Adjust...
It is a little known fact (nowadays anyway) that you can get threaded metal spokes at bicycle shops that are ideal for RC. The spokes used...
The center of gravity (CG) is one of the most crucial factors in an RC airplane’s flight performance. An improperly balanced aircraft can lead to instability...
Converting scale aircraft to electric is becoming commonplace. Here’s a neat trick that solves a simple but perplexing problem often encountered when using a “nitro” spinner...

Rather than rehashing an ideal takeoff scenario, the goal of this article is to explain the reasons why certain pilots routinely perform perfect takeoffs regardless of...
You can get a very good estimate of the weight of a LiPo battery by taking the number of cells and multiplying that by the Amp-Hour...
