Last updated 4 years ago

Creating and flying your own RC Plane is a delightful experience. There’s a plethora of resources and guides available all over the internet, ranging from which battery to buy to how to perform the perfect Z-Bend. But that’s the problem - these resources really are all over the place. Without someone to guide you, getting into RC as a beginner can seem near impossible considering all of the parts that must come together to perform your first successful flight.

We’re a group of RC and flight enthusiasts with a diverse set of experiences. With this guide, we hope to make the RC hobby accessible for everyone by compiling all the resources, information, and components needed to start RC in one place. We hope to ease your transition into this hobby so you can get flying!
