(Edit: fixed some video links...)
Hey, huys,
I see you are making some beasts!!! Quadchopters and stuff like flying soucers...
I am a complete ignorant on electronics, woodcraft, soldering, etc.
I just saw some videos like these ones (
www.youtube.com/user/tyoukogatalabo - copy and paste in the browser address bar), and fell in love with this amazing indoor-RC-flight thing. I always dreamed on spending money, time and effort to fly some RC. But those "normal" RC planes, radios and stuff were too expensive for me when I was younger. Nowadays, I have the money, but I don't want to spend time messing with "standard" RC planes. They are too big to handle, and you always need a whole day to play with them, and you need to go to an open, "desert" area to play. And the hardest thing: you to begin with training models, crash a lot, lose too much time and money, to get some real fun... So, I gave up on it.
But now, with these mini and micro RC planes with milimetrical brushless motors, LiPo batteries and receivers that weights like a feather, and more important, with the internet giving you all the necessary know-how at a blink of an eye and at a click of a mouse, I see that I found what I always wanted: a way to spend little money, spend less than a daytime building a plane, and instantly flying it (I know, I will still crash a lot - but fixing indoor foan RC planes is way less frustrating and less time-consuming than fixing standard balsa-wood ones).
So, for what I can see from this video (
), its just about finding the parts to buy and make my models.
And that's why I am posting: Any tips? I mean, I am a complete noob, I don't even know how to buy and how to use soldering tools, I don't even know how the heck that guy managed to make the rudder move with just a little magneto wrapped inside a copper wire!
So, what next?
(Sorry, I don't have time to read all this thread from the first post, I am too lazy, and in few minutes I will watch Cruzeiro play a decisive match on TV)
Thanks a lot! And congratulations for your flying beasts!
