An iconic aircraft, with it’s curved rudder and wide fuselage – it’s often seen skipping over the lakes or being used as a utility plane in Canada and North America, and this model is [...]
The C rating on LiFePO4 and RC LiPo batteries and what it means
I’ve had a few questions from fellow flyers at my flying field (and seen questions also on forums), regarding the “C rating” on a LiFePO4 and RC Lipo battery, and in particular what it means for us radio control pilots, so here’s an explanation to get it all wrapped up. For us electric RC fans, the C rating [...]
Standardising your battery connectors
A common frustration an electric R/C pilot will generally come across is the is the wide range of battery connectors available on the market. Well, this in itself isn’t frustrating, but the fact that you may feel compelled to buy from a particular battery vendor, or particular Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) product line is (in [...]
Safety with LiPo Batteries
Being electric R/C pilots, we benefit from some of the latest technology, in particular, batteries. Improvements in the past 5 years in battery technology is probably the main reason driving the growth of park flyers. We use LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries for two main reasons – they’re light, and they’re powerful. More often than not [...]
It begins…

Park Flyers are wonderful examples of model flight – nice and small, fully functioning radio controlled aircraft – and a great way to learn, [...]
