Started out by watching how to do's on U-Tube. My Videos center around RC Airplanes, EDF Jets and Drones.
I enjoy Building, Flying, repairing and modifying Rc Models. There will be Tips will be along the way. And as I learn more I will be happy to share them with all of you.
DEC. 2014, I Built my 1st Drone with GPS and all the whistles, OSD , Night Vision Camera as well. All by watching people like you and myself on U-Tube. ua-cam.com/video/k-mV0FAvFSQ/v-deo.html
I Built and Flew my first RC Airplane last Spring 2015 in May. In a little less than a Year I'm flying just about anything I can get my hands on.
Variety is alot of fun here as each plane or drone flies different. I am Self-Taught, (Crash Course Method) literally........ It's ALOT of Fun.

Sorry I didn't get all of Marty's flight with the Cessna,. My camera must have gotten bumped and all I was recording was the ground. Same with the Losi Promoto's we were running. But I did manage to catch some decent footage that wasn't completely off camera. Thanks for watching.

Good to see you Skip.
@@oneagleswings0808 Thanks buddy. You Too my friend. Have a great New Year
@SkipBuiltRC do you remember me Skip ? Years ago in the dim ages we were in Boy Scouts. My Name is Tom Morin.
@oneagleswings0808 Tom. Absolutely remember you, and your brother Dale. Also remember your Dad. I just loved him. You guys and he were so good to me after my dad died. Awesome that you remember me. I'm still here. Living in Johnsburg.
@@SkipBuiltRC Dale is in McHenry on Bull Valley Rd. My wife and I have been in West Palm Beach Florida since 2019. We went to Florida on what was supposed to be a 3 week vacation and we didn't make it back yet. Lol
@@oneagleswings0808 that sounds awesome Tom. Tell Dale I said hi 👋 Glad to hear that you guys are doing well. Please keep in touch. Great to hear from you. Are you into flying RC or other rc?
i wish I had a friend like that with the same passion on RC Tanks :)
Me too. The guys still have not wanted to run them with me. May just have to give them one to spark more interest
Is that a yf23 up there ? Who made that model ?
@@Pretend_pilotFPV Yes sir. It's made by LX models. Hard to find. Twin 70mm
@ wow I’m Jealous . I have the old su35 and I want that one too
@@Pretend_pilotFPV I would try AliExpress
@ sounds good thank you !
@Pretend_pilotFPV I just looked and skyflighthobby.com and general hobbies show it. Good Luck
when my I plug in the battery the edf just beeps very fast and spins uncontrollably randomly and scaring me. pls help me I tried to fix it, and I can't even remove the blades from the edf. pls help me and if you are nice enough to give me some tips. Godbless
@TheNobleCookies take your time and start over. Make sure all radio controls are in center positions and throttle all the way down. Turn on radio first then plug in your RC to the battery. On the radio make sure all your trim positions are centered. I wish you good luck 🙏🤞
@ thank you so much I will try that and see what will happen😀
@TheNobleCookies try Ali express. Think that is where I found mine. Good luck
When I was racing (many years ago) balancing is a 'must' !
@@jcb6713 yes sir. Just tried it and it was much better.
Hello. I agree with the tyre balancing but I think you will find that most of that vibration is due to the driveshafts at an angle because the wheels are at full droop . If you do a second experiment and raise all arms level when you accelerate you will not see much vibration at all. Would be interesting to see I would do a full service and grease on the cvd joints. You can also limit the droop with the droop screws or shock limiters as you probably know .
Thank You. I am just getting into the MT's, but was a mechanic in life. So I'm just learning. That made perfect sense about the droop and running. The shimming was definitely necessary and still cannot believe how much weight it took to balance a wheel. Thanks again for your input. Any tips are greatly appreciated.
Just run it out of the box! Lol,
Looks good Skip!! I think you’d enjoy a light bar or two with the black on black scheme that Fireteam has - cheers from up by Bloomington, IL -Ché🫡
@@chehamiltonsr.8749 Thank you buddy 👍. Already have some ideas for it. Things crazy on stock tires. Going to try some others soon.
one word for you buddy. 'Simulator'
Yep,... Ya Think? LOL
Nice tank, Sir😊 May i ask, is it necessary to apply glue to the accessories? The ERA plates and so on. Or is it just plug n play? Looking fw to build mine soon😊
@@muhammadaqlanzaki5155 thank you. Yes I had to glue mine. The parts fit way too loose to not glue. Some of them at least anyway. Good luck and enjoy yours 😀
i end up buying 2 as well hahaha, you are correct, what is the point of IR battle if you only own one. :D - i choose Abrams and T90 as well
Right. It'll be kinda hard to ir by ones self. Good choices as well. Enjoy.
@@SkipBuiltRC thanks
This dude cracks me up.
Pretty cool.
@@Budrick3Gaming Thanks for watching
That is an awesome buy at $400.....It is really fast, lots of power, It has its flaws, but get the bugs worked out and its an awesome model, i like mine a lot!!! ( unfortunately i bought on release day) " Never again" But have fun its awesome!!!!
@@andyb9994 thank you sir. As you say though it came with a lot of bugs and flaws, but nothing that isn't doable. Have to remember sometimes that this is RC from China and that usually entails working on it before it's ready to run. LOL 😆😂 But yes I took it out yesterday for the first time after tightening up screws etc. and shimming all 4 bearing hub assemblys. Holy cow 🐮. It was actually scary fast. Almost uncontrollable at full throttle. WOW 😳
@@SkipBuiltRCYep very fast!!! Super durable...
Skip well done,but after growing up in East St.Louis,Illinois this guy would have had an ass whipping.
I really tried to keep it cool, but it was difficult to say the least. When I still drank, I had a temper not to mess with. But, I was sober about a year when this guy started his crap. He never knew how lucky he was....
People have been recommending me these batteries, but I’ve also heard some bad things about them so I don’t know what to go with.
@@SupremeGang420 I think it's probably hit or miss
Moved battery tray back on mine. Think it helps some on distributing the weight 🤙🏻
@@Wild_Bill_RC Thanks buddy 👍. I've seen that some guys are doing that. I haven't checked my CG yet. But that's a good idea to shift the weight better.
Enjoy . Them tires look pretty useful . I ve been using 4s and 6s backflips . Those look more padded .
Congrats 👏. That’s smart shopping right there . When you get bored with it , if you do you can easily change it to a big rock I believe but that body is even expensive on Jenny’s . $150😳
@@Hungrybird474 Thank you. Yes, to replace the whole thing is pricey. Can be expensive for 1 panel set at 50 a piece. Then the cage in segments or whole thing.
What an absolute ass hat.

Do you own any 6S Arrma's? They are violent RC's sir, so be careful out there LOL.
@@spenn2007 thank you, and will do. I have the 8S kraton exb. Very strong
@@spenn2007 Holy cow 🐮 Just ran it on 6s and it's down right scary..... You weren't kidding. WOW 😳 Thanks again for the warning ⚠️
2024 - I have 6 sets of Hoovo 4s 10000mah 6s 6200mah 3s 5200mah I fly hard 3D aerobatics in my Trex 550x and my 700x . The 550x is 6s and my 700x is 12s I also run a Traxxas Xmaxx 8s and an Arrma infraction 6s I have been absolutely blown away by the quality ( fit and finish) of these packs . The cost is crazy inexpensive at half the cost of larger brand names. My flight times on the helicopters are pretty standard at about 7 minutes. The Xmaxx is incredible on the 10,000mah packs. I run hard for an hour at practically full throttle while bashing and only use about 5000mah. Each of these packs top up as per usual and show 98% -100% on each cell which is rather good. I wonder if they have sorted out some manufacturing issues or I am just lucky. 🇨🇦🙂
@@highlightspotent127 Best comment yet! Good point and nice to hear. It's possible maybe my batteries that I got had been shelved a while. Notice that the boxes aren't even the same. But since you've had like six sets and no issues whatsoever that I'm tending to think that possibly I just had a bad batch. Maybe I should give them another try because the price was right 👍on. Thanks again for your comments.
Very nice. I'm curious how you compare the handling of this E-Flite F-16 80mm to your Freewing F-4 Phantom 90mm?
Haven't flown either of them, but I have flown the smaller 70 mm and 80mm,s. The F-16 is easier. The F4 can be a handful
Very nice. I may be getting this AEF soon. Did you have any issues routing the ESC power cables through the fuselage?
@@davidgerlach1132 running the leads is a straight shot. Be careful to pay close attention to the elevator's adjustment before gluing the drag hook under tail.

@@EverthingAviation911 is yours the one with the smart esc? If so, you'll probably have to contact HH support 😜 Unless you are missing something in the set up? ie. correctly bound. Try rebinding making sure all controls are neutral and throttle down all the way. Since it is a twin, you may need to do a calibration on both escs to get them in sync

@SkipBuiltRC I'm glad to hear that skip thanks
I do not have room for anything beyond the 1/10 scale cars. Every time I go to the RC shop, I just stare at the larger cars and tell myself, where would I put it? It is nice to see you getting into ground vehicles.
Just can't trust the weather to cooperate anymore for flying. This just seemed a great choice. Thanks
@SkipBuiltRC That was my reasoning for going with ground vehicles. My wife and I travel a lot during the summer. We enjoy RVing. It's too hard finding a place to fly. I usually bring a UMX plane along, but seldom get a chance to fly. I have found there are many adults that bring an RC car camping, indeed families even. Some Campgrounds are starting to host a short track course. Any time you want to discuss RC, I am around all winter.
Thank you! Been spinning my wheels trying to calibrate the throttle and it not working. I did this and presto! Nice to know that your 7 years ago self is still helping.
