How do you start up an electric Rc plane?

Posted by admin

I just bought a electric rc plane(RTF), its a skytrainer and i dont know how to start up the plane. Batterys good in the remote and inside the plane and all of the parts are asmebled properly, but i havent got a clue to start a single engine rc plane. >.< . Can you tell me the instructions one by one how to start it up? Thanks.
there is no on or off switch on the plane its on the rc remote, and if i do need a electric spinner, i really dont want to buy one -.-

You should just be able to push the throttle foreword on the remote.

Falcon 40 RTF 4-Channel Radio Remote Controlled RC Helicopter help?

Posted by admin

Falcon 40 RTF 4-Channel Radio Remote Controlled RC Helicopter.

I am looking to buy a good rc heli and easy to fly, since this will be my 1st heli.
Is the above a good pick?
Also what is the differnce between a 4chl and other higher chnl heli’s
And can someone tell me a site on how to fly a 4 chnl if thats what I should get..

The Falcon 40 is a good helicopter if you know how to fly. Since you said, "1st heli", I assume you flew with a simulator before? If not, I suggest you get a coaxial helicopter. I personally started with the Blade CX. I suggest you get the E-Flite Blade CX2. (Better transmitter without the easy burnout) Coaxial helicopter make it easier to fly and it really isnt a big challenge once you get used to it. This helicopter should get you familiar with the controls of a helicopter. 4Ch means how much of the helicopter you could function.
The 4 channels are:
1. Throttle (left side of the controller- up and down)
2. Rudder (left side of the controller- rotates left and right)
3. Cyclic (right side of the controller- forward and backward, tilt left and right)

If you get some that are 3 channels, you get to control the throttle, rudder and the forward and backward flights. The 2 channels, you get to control the rudder and the height the helicopter flies at.

Sure, I could give you a site on how to fly a 4 channel helicopter if you want.

Hobbycity ASW28 EP Glider

Posted by admin

This is my Electric powered ASW 28 sailplane. I am rinning mine stock as it came with a 3s 2200 zippy pack. I had to cut the inside of the canopy to make the battery fit but as you can see by the video the plane flies great with extra weight. It is a much more stable and smooth plane and has a very wide speed evelope for a foam sailplane. With this battery setup on the stock brushless motor I am only pulling 16.5 amps static and 180 watts which provides tons of power but is still a very resonable amp draw for this plane. This plane is definetly worth the money after the new battery.
