Looking for comprehensive manuals on how RC systems work
Hi all!
Could anyone please point me to a website/free source which goes into high detail about how R/C systems work and the compatibility of their components. What I'm looking for is a detailed knowledge base which walks me through the general components of an R/C system and their functions (e.g. transmitter, servos, ESC, etc.) down to the significance of individual component properties such as what exactly is the significance of "2A" (a current measure) in an ESC, how would a 4A engine differ from a 6A one, what the different properties of electric batteries mean- such as what is the mAh, how would a 1C battery differ from a 2C one, should I chose a LiPo or a Ni-Cd battery for a small/large plane- as well as what component features I should look at in order to pick parts that are compatible with each other.
What I'm looking for is a link to a detailed guide- you don't have to necessarily describe all of this to me in a post.
Thank you so much!
Daniel.

Best thing that I can tell you is to search the forums. I know the info is there. "Everything you need to know about electric."
