HOW RC AIRPLANES WORK (Intro to RC Electronics for Beginners)

An overview of a basic Radio Control airplane electronics setup; components, what they do, how they connect to each other.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this video (or your own setup) and I'll do my best to help!

Excellent video, as a drone pilot I just kind of assumed that there would be a flight controller in there somewhere, and your video has shown me that you yourself have to be the flight controller when flying planes, I have a whole new respect for you fellas!

Thank you, have just built my first plane and this was invaluable :)

[lochnersitzenbleiben]

Omg, that is so easier than I thought it would be. I use to be in a engineering program so I assumed I would have to manual program the motors to the control and give them inputs. Thanks!

Thank you! I’ve been in the hobby for a little bit and was confused about how everything works, it all makes sense now. I’m a visual learner so this helps a lot!

Finally, I have found a video that actually teaches me how the electronics work, unlike a lot of other YouTube videos. Thank you. Quick question, is there a way to create a failsafe without an arduino that cuts the throttle if the connection between the tx and rx is lost?

I got into fpv and this really helped me out to understand the basics, cheers man :)

[Flyingdorkanimation]

Just getting started in RC Airplanes and this video was fantastic.

Little late to the party but great video! I'm putting together an AR wing for quiet slow flight fpv and maybe some random robots for the kids. Thanks for your easy to understand and non pretentious explanation

[saveliyseredin]

omg I finally found a good easy to understand video

[CoolCreeper]

Thank you I actually understand how to do this now

[MaltaCubing]

this guy is a legend, also could you mention all the component and their
product names?

[RubberChickenMan]

Great video for understanding the basic concepts.

[MrKbtor]

This is awesome, exactly what I was looking for.

[Gaiymer]

Exellent video realy gives me the will to make an rc plane myself

[anonymouse]

Its nice you have given your transmitter a name. Hello Terry Trasmitter :-)

[nopnop]

This is the Best explanation video! ❤ Excelent, Thank you!

[lhjeygm]

Great demo--I am just starting to build planes. thanks.

[eblaser]

Thank you. I don't know why but I expected this to be more complicated.

it's a great idea if you put those further in the back (only slightly) and add 1 more servo for roll control

i never build an rc plane before, but i played ksp enough to tell you roll controp is really important, oftentimes more than yaw control, you can get out of a bad course with roll but not solely with yaw

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
