RC: My Next Remote Control AeroPlane Sky Funjet

admin — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 06:14:02 +0000

Have been eyeeing on this plane since few months. Watching the video on youtube make me so amazed on how agile is the plane and it also can fly slow as park-flyer.

While satisfying my thirst over the plane, saw this home made funjet in indonesian RC forum. So similar and identical. As shown in the picture, the person that build this plane does really have high creativity and skills. He just build the plane from the image he got on the net. I am really amazed.

I did tried to build my my home-made plane made out of styro-foam boxes, the result is disaster. Ha2. I will share it later once I test fly it. ha2.

Being to the world of RC is so much fun and entertaining, although sometimes you might spend too much time in it and less time with your family. he2. Just want to share with fellow electric flyer, especially when you are charging your lipos. Lipo fire is real, if you are not careful. We can have fun but safety always the first priority. It is better be safe than sorry.

Flyer in US left his lipo charge without supervision and get firefighter came to his home, and see what was found :

This education video shown how a battery might burnt if it overcharged.

Few tips to share :
1. Always set charge rate low, and max 1amp. Yes we do not have much time, but always remember it is always better to be safe.
2. Use a reliable and good charger. I am myself using this charger. so far so good.
3. Power up your charger with good power source.
4. Always use battery bunkers or lipo sack.
5. Never never leave your lipo battery charge without supervision.
6. It is always good to be patient.
7. Have fun flying.

Find this great article in the rc forum about how to read and select power system for you plane. Enjoy and have fun flying.

RC: Boeing RC Stealth Plane

Interesting that Boeing, a major airplane manufacturer also look into the unmanned plane. The Phantom Ray is rolls out by Boeing and this 36-foot long rc-plane will actually serve its purpose as the test bed for advance technology like intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; suppression of enemy air defenses; electronic attack and autonomous aerial refueling as said by Boeing’s CEO of Defense, Space and Security, Dennis Muilenburg. I wondered what technology will be controlling this UAS? Will it out of range and drop fuiih.
