Every now and again we see something truly amazing from the RC community.

Before I start any scratch build model, I usually draw up a rough plan in CAD or computer-aided design as it helps with making the build a little bit easier.

In case you missed the news, HobbyKing has announced the release of the highly anticipated Avios C-130.

In the last article, we looked at the basics and covered the learning process at a very high level. In the coming articles, I’ll look at some of the tips and tricks to help make sure that the learning experience is as pleasant as possible. In R/C, as with many other things, you never stop learning - it’s one of the fun parts of the hobby.

Last weekend, HobbyKing was in attendance at AMA West Expo in Pomona California.

Over the weekend, Australian Rudi Browning competed in the FAI World Drone Racing Champion in Shenzhen, China.

Last Christmas, my family were kind enough to gift me an Anet A8 3D printer.

The Anet A8 comes flat packed in a large box and has to be assembled at home by yourself. It comes with all the tools and instruction CD, but you need lots of patience as the build can be tricky. (The hardest part though is understanding the instructions).

When I first started flying RC I went through many motors. I’m sure that many of you would be familiar with this.

A few months ago I received a Nano-Tech Plus pack to test for HobbyKing, a 2200 4S Turnigy 70-150C Nano-Tech battery to be specific.
