LiPo-batterijen (lithium-polymeer): een van de grootste innovaties in het RC-universum tot nu toe, enigszins verwarrend. Wat betekenen de cijfers op een LiPo? Wat betekent de "C"? Waar staat de "S" voor? In deze blog gaan we samen de LiPo-code ontcijferen.

LiPo (lithium-polymeer) versus NiMH (nikkel-metaal-hydride): welke is beter? Als je deze vraag 10 jaar geleden hebt gesteld, kom je in een impasse terecht. De verhitte debatten over welke de superieure batterij was, was een terugkerend thema. Tegenwoordig zijn LiPo's echter de de facto koning als het gaat om RC-batterijen.

The terms bush plane, bush flying, and bush flyer simply refer to any fixed-wing aircraft that are specifically designed to be flown in remote areas. These remote areas - dubbed “the bush” - are otherwise inaccessible by ground or water transportations. To be operable in such archaic terrains where landing strips are mostly non-existent, bush planes have certain characteristics which make them fit-for-purpose. Here are four of the most common and desirable traits of a bush plane.

The R/C hobby can be quite confusing especially for beginners. Here is a comprehensive guide to understanding the R/C Lingo. Check back regularly as we will continue to update this R/C glossary.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it right? This may be true in most cases, however, in the RC hobby, being proactive will always cost you less than being reactive. Regular maintenance will ensure a properly working aircraft. Here are four simple check-ups you can do to safeguard yourself and others while you rip through the skies and not into the crowds.
