Im an Electrical Electronic systems auto technician at a chevy dealer! I loved your video! You did a great job! This deserves way more views than its getting!

Lee, your lesson brought a tear to an old man’s eye. Many years ago, (50+) I used this very lesson to tutor, young electronics students. Many hours of tutoring, sometimes in vain, but twice it was worth it. Some years passed and I got a letter, from student, inviting me to attend his graduation … As it was my fault, he had become an Electronic Engineer. About a year later a second letter came from a young sailor who had used those lessons to become an engineer and was paying off his college through the navy. Both of those young men went on to work, in defense and space programs, sadly they are deceased now … thus my eyes leaked just a little.

I took Basic Electronics back in 1972 at an Adult Education Class when CB Radio's were popular here in the USA. Now I'm a HAM Radio Operator/Technician.... Building Drones.... Love the concept and the analogy....! =)

Great video Lee it's nice to know that people like you are keeping us entertained in these difficult times thanks very much

Thanks for this! I do a bit of rc flying but am also looking into getting an electric car at some point and I don't understand the relationship between Watts and amps... An explanatory video on this would be gratefully received...

Awesome video, Lee! Thanks a lot!!! 😊

I’ve learned this 45 years ago, but it’s good to freshen up my memory.
Btw, does a beer-based instead of a water based system works the same? 🧐

Im about to start a build on a hexacopter S550. I've seen a lot of your videos but you skip or I don't see anything related to VTX's, I have a eachine 1000mw 5.8ghz. I'd love to use a small camera, but can we use the better gimbal camera instead. Or with a receiver to pc for mission planner? Please do a video on video, vtx, vtx bases what all we need for cameras gimbal etc, , thanks for all your hard work and help you do!

A really great video!
Could you make another video explaining what each parameter means for LiPo batteries (such as its C & mAh values)?

About other topics for your RC Basics, I would like to know what can I do to check the health of receivers (I buy second hand). Is there any software that I can run diagnostics? I have had recently several crashes due to lost of control and suspect that the receivers are failing. I do range checks but it could be a faulty or lose antenna, intermittent power or receiver hardware failure.
