How can you call yourself 'Total RC', when you've never built a balsa kit? That's the foundation of all RC flying. These new RTF planes are for the younger, 'instant gratification', generations

When you join 2 pieces of wood that have some length you should cut on a diagonal to give yourself more glue surface area. Its called a scarf cut. The way you have glued them together your glue joint is going to have zero strength.

I only have about 2 years experience with RC planes but i have grew out of my 6 channel with in that 2 years. I did not fly at all last season but i want to get back into it. im getting real flight this winter and i was thinking of getting the NX8+ or the NX10 Will real flight use the 20 channels?
@TotalRCOfficial3 ай бұрын
Hmm, I don't think many planes would warrant the use of 20 channels. I think you'll be fine with the NX10, or even the 8+ 👍

I'm wondering, will I have to care for the transmitter batteries like the aircraft batteries? Or can I just run the transmitter with it plugged into the PC? Thanks!
