I have taken a small seat back to the hobby to figure some things out. I finally decided that I need to go small if I am to keep flying. At least for the next season anyways. As we all know the RC hobby is an expensive hobby. HOw expensive it can get is based on us and what we want. Its...
Over the last two weeks I have been looking at my hobby and seeing if anything needs to change. This week I am looking at what it is I fly. Before that let’s dig deeper into the why. Over time we get deeper and deeper into a hobby and we don’t realize just how deep into we are. The we begin...
I am not dropping the hobby just assessing what it is I need to continue my enjoyment with it. My 570 is the bomb and will not give it up unless SAB discontinues the model. So to put the question to rest as of right now the 570 is not going up for sale. Nor is the rest of my stuff except the...
As of late I has been thinking about what is my hobby about and how it relates to the 99%. I am not a pro or and intermediate, I am a weekend warrior that flies basically on the weekends when I have time. This last year has been a really rough year for me and now that things are looking up I...
Finally making some progress on this project. What I have learned is that you really need to know what your trying to achieve with discharging.

need to update this when I get home. More to come.
As of right now the load bank is built and almost completely wired. Again i will be doing a in depth write up of today's progress.
Last night I ordered the power resistors for the discharge bank. Now lets get into what I got and why i think its going to work?
Up front I want to say is sorry for the delay in this part. Things are still not ideal but are getting better. Its going to take some time for this project. Lots...
If you have listened to RCHN towards the end then you know Justin Pucci has been working on such a thing for almost 4 years now. He has never posted the Tech tip due to the nature of the topic. This project if done wrong can be very dangerous. As of late I have been want to work with my 2...

In the video below, I will show you not only the...
These are the motors that I'm running on FrankenQuad, and they are absolutely fantastic. At first, I was worried because you can pick up 4 of them for $31.69, which is extremely cheap! But once I fired them up and flew them for the first time, my mind changed to LOVING these motors.
As you all...
On Sept. 22 2016 I received the GoolRC Quad and I loved the layout of the frame! Great amount of room for the flight controller stack, a dedicated place for a VTX and multiple mounting options for a camera! Because of some unfortunate actions taken by the company that shipped the GoolRC to me, I...
I had a Subscriber on YouTube ask me how you adjust the stick tension on the DX9 and instead of just typing out a reply, I decided to make a quick little video on how to adjust your stick tension. Hope this helps someone out that was worried about tearing up their transmitter right after they...
