Something Different! While browsing around the internet, I came across Dynasoar Rocketry. Well, I just had to do this, so I ordered the Aurora Clipper kit from Frank at Dynasoar. I have three flights on it now, and it is awesome that I can launch a rocket and then glide it back to the launchContinue reading “RC Rocket Glider”
Four-Motor Scratch Build
Why a Scratch Build? I don’t want to have too much money at risk when I fly. And, since I like to have building projects underway to have something to do when the weather doesn’t permit flying, I like to build rather than buy some plug-and-play foamie. So, here is my latest foam board andContinue reading “Four-Motor Scratch Build”
LiFe Batteries as Flight Packs
Lithium Iron Phosphate, LiFePO4, or LiFe for short, are widely used to power receivers and servos in RC airplanes. Their use as flight pack batteries is not so common, but I have found them to be preferable in many applications. Benefits of LiFe Batteries The main benefit is safety. Where LiPo batteries can spontaneously combustContinue reading “LiFe Batteries as Flight Packs”
Anderson Powerpole Connectors
Here is a type of connector I like that is not widely in use in the RC world. In the electric RC world there are many types of connectors used between the battery and speed control. They work great in most cases, but sometimes you want to connect multiple batteries in series to increase voltageContinue reading “Anderson Powerpole Connectors”
