A R/C model aircraft is not a "drone" in the usually accepted sense, especially if a FPV system isn't being used.

Caustic Soda dissolves aluminium very agressively and even a trace of pH positive on your engine will cause it to darken. (Don't ask me...

RE: Starter Current

The stalled current of the starter is determined only by the total resistance of the battery, leads, brushes and windings. Because the starter isn't rotating, there's no back-EMF to reduce the...

RE: won't aileron roll?
