Please note

Working on and flying radio controlled aircraft can be dangerous, even lethal. Exercise great care, as you are the one responsible for what happens to you or others. Should you try to do anything that we have discussed or demonstrated here or on our YouTube channel, you need to personally evaluate the safety requirements and put into place any safety measures that may be required.

We have put in a lot of work to provide you with all of the information in this website and on our YouTube channel. Anything you would be willing to do to help us out financially would be greatly appreciated, even the value of a cup of coffee! Clicking on the image above is a simple way to do that.

Thank you so very much!
