Can the E-Flite 2.1m Carbon Cub Take off from Water on 4s?
The carbon cub was designed to run 6s. After all, this thing has a 2.1m (84in) wingspan. However, the airplane is also designed to operate on 4s and as such is advertised as 4s-6s. With this said, does 4s have enough power to get the E-Flite 2.1m Carbon Cub off the water? While on 6s …
Most important tool every RC Electric Hobbyist must have
The most important tool that every RC Electric Hobbyist must own is a temp (temperature) gun of some sort! You ask why? Well it will save you lots of money, that is why. It doesn’t matter if you build your RC models or don’t. Having a temp gun in your toolbox will certainly help out. …
Application of using High or Low Motor / ESC Timing
Most hobbyists who operate electric RC vehicles understand that motor timing can be controlled. The questions is how many actually change the timing of their setup? If you haven’t already read the article on timing, click the link to view the article. Do you have to change timing? The short answer to this question is …
Timing Explained for Brushless Motor and ESC’s (Low vs High)
Brushless motor timing is critical to its operation. Without the correct amount, a brushless motor may not operate efficiently or even at all. We will be exploring timing for brushless motors in this article. A few key focuses will be on what does brushless motor timing refer to, advantages of low and high timing, and …
Comparing Combustion Engine and Brushless Motor Performance Fundamentals
Combustion engines and brushless motors serve the same purpose in the radio controlled scene. The purpose of these two technologies is to provide the main source of mechanical power to drive our boats, planes and cars forward. In this comparison we will be looking at 4 different parameters. These parameters will include output RPM, physical …
