RC tips

After stepping into the hobby of RC flying, there are always going to be doubts, question or ideas that will creep up. Over the past few years, I have learned a lot from my fellow RC friends and by also spending a lot of time researching online for answers to address problems I encounter, or to look for ideas relating to the best and safe practices related to RC flying.

 

I have set up this page to provide useful tips and other informative resources to help new RC pilots. I hope you will find the answers and useful information that is related to model building, engine tuning, radio setups, repairs and more.

In my search for RC information, I  have come across a lot of useful articles, sites and videos related to the best tips and practices in RC modelling and I wish to share the same with you. I advise you to keep coming back and checking this page to find new updates, as I intend to frequently add new topics and links to share the best of information for all RC pilots.

Had a crash?  - Repair your plane

Attempting to fix your crashed RC plane can also be a very interesting and rewarding experience and can greatly increase your experience in this hobby.

Setting up your control links

Setting up the control links on your plane control surface with the servo can be a bit tricky. It is very important to have the servo and control link on the control surfaces set up correctly, to give you the right response with the stick movements on your radio. I recently found a very useful video to help you set up your control links, thanks to "Andrew Newton" for sharing this very informative video.
