    Estes Proto X

    Just picked one up for just over 30 bucks. Thing is pretty impressive. Total blast to buzz around. Kinda silly question but is this thing anything like flying a 450 or a 550? What's similar? What's different? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Good beginner LiPo charger.

    Bartman likes the hitec x2-400 but has suggested that it might me too much power in the hands of a noob. He's suggested to go with something small that will do the job that can be used as a spare down the road. I just need a charger that I can handle and grow into that can charge 4cell...

    Is FPV more likely to crash?

    Reading through basically ALL of the beginners lounge, I see a few references to FPV and usually referenced with banging into a tree or coming in contact with the ground in a less than elegant fashion. Is this generally just a more difficult flying accessory?

    Good beginner LiPo charger.

    I didn't see anything specific to this so I figured I would place a post for it. Didn't want to keep bogging down the group build with charger stuff. Can somebody recommend a store bought/ UL rated 4S charger with a built in power supply that would be suitable for somebody just getting into...

    What is telemetry and how does it relate to this hobby

    It does! I was told to pick up a Taranis FrSky radio cause it had this technology. So how does it actually report back battery levels. That's pretty rad. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Understanding Lithium Polymer batteries

    So, when a battery is charged at 4.2 volts per cell, does that mean its at full capacity, or 100% of its mah rating? I guess I'm confused about how to know how much mah was drained during use. This makes my brain hurt. Is this why it's just easier to make sure they don't drop below 3.3/cell? The...
