Not always so. You have given me a starting point. I appreciate it! Now I can get to the model-making part! 👍👍👍

+Samm Sheperd (SNRS) The CX10 has been out a while now. It's a great learning quad. I just wish they would have a cheap one with 3 axis (acro) on it to learn with.

[@joeya5438]

+Samm Sheperd (SNRS) I would like to know how you did that flip.

[@SammSheperd]

Rum Ham By pressing down on the right stick, you enter flip mode. The transmitter will beep and you can push it forward, back, left or right and it will flip that direction by itself. You can also cut the throttle mid flip to force it to flip multiple times, though recovery is not guaranteed.

Just discovered Samm's videos. I am high school teacher and am diving into the RC world myself. I am hoping to learn enough so I can teach an elective class called "wheels and wings". I hope that Samm's family knows his son's knowledge and ability to simplify and share that is still living on. Samm's videos are better than everything else I am finding out there. Thanks much to Samm and mom and dad for raising such a good son. I will be using some of his videos on RC planes to share with my students. I appreciate how the family's faith in God has given them hope and peace. Keep the faith!

[@joeya5438]

This is perfect! I have been wanting to start scratch building rc planes for a while but have been a bit confused about the electronics. This answered many of my questions. Thanks a lot!

[@SammSheperd]

Awesome! There are always more question. RC groups and KZbin will usually have an answer, but if you have a specific question, ask me!

[@joeya5438]

***** The only other question I have right now is about LiPo batteries. It is my understanding that they should not be discharged past a certain point. How am I supposed to know when they reach that point to ensure I don't damage them? Do I need to get a multimeter to check them?

[@SammSheperd]

Rum Ham Great question, LiPo batteries are annoying because they won't let you know when they are dead. Once they discharge past 80% of their capacity, or about 3.0v-3.2v per cell, they start to damage themselves. But since most ESC's come with a low voltage cutoff feature these days, it's not quite as important. But a good tool I use is this one www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-RC-Lipo-Battery-Low-Voltage-Alarm-1S-8S-Buzzer-Indicator-Checker-Tester-LED-/271746517929?hash=item3f455acba9:g:MzYAAOSwYGFUvRrP It plugs into the balance plug and tells you all the voltages, and you can set at which voltage to trigger the alarm, it is VERY loud for such a small thing. If you wanna be extra nice to your batteries, set it to like 3.4v, or you could push them down to 3.0v if you really want, just don't leave them there for too long.

how to make rc control circuit board

So it’s been two years so I assume you’ve done it, HOW THE HELL DO I TURN THE DAMNED THING OFF? WHERE IS THE POWER BUTTON?

[@chrisboyce6542]

See I told you , another great lesson for the new RC user, you helps get new modelers building their own models, you make it less misticale. If I were to plug a servo with different wiring in to the receiver will it cause any damage apart form not working.I wa told that it will damage the potentiometer.

[@SammSheperd]

+Chris Boyce I don't know of such a case. There are 3.3v servos, but they are micro and have a different connecter

+Samm Sheperd (SNRS) Holy... It just told me some error occurred, so I spammed the button a little. Sorry!

[@SammSheperd]

***** KZbin is pretty good at filtering suspicious comments

[@Ga2be]

+Samm Sheperd (SNRS) Great for me I guess! I also have a question, are you able to change the channel which your control works at? I've heard about "crystals" but I'm not sure :S

[@SammSheperd]

***** Currently, 2.4GHz is what everyone is using. With 2.4 GHz, the Tx and Rx are connected digitally and don't need crystals. Before 2.4GHz, it was 72MHz, with that system people would have to use a matching crystal in the Tx and the Rx. there were only a certain number of different crystals so people had to make sure two people weren't using the same crystals. These crystals were named a channel. What the crystal actually does is tune the radio into a specific sub frequency. like 72.790MHz. 72MHz was also kinda glitchy, required 8 AAA's and had really long antennas. So the new 2.4GHZ is pretty great.

[@thataussieaviator]

Two questions, how would you connect multiple servos/motors into one channel, like how when you roll in a plane one aileron goes up and the other side goes down, but that only happens in one movement of the transmitter, not 2 different buttons. Also how do you connect the transmitter to the receiver wirelessly?

I think you would put one control on the remote to a bunch of channels on the receiver
