Hello all,
For a video production class, my partner and I made this video. It's 5 minutes long and goes over all the basics of RC.

Good luck! -Andrew
Hey Andrew... for the most part it looked fun to do.
Unless I am mistaken though, a couple of procedural/safety blunders are made.
Firtsly, the plane (RX) is turned on before the TX which is not recommended. (I have personally seen this lead to stripped servos).
Secondly, the glow-ignitor is attached to the glow plug, and then the engine is turned (backward) to compression with a bare hand before the electric starter is applied. Hmm... I cringe when I see people do that.
While lots of things were done in a very fine way, and I don't want to focus on the negatives ... , I must bring your attention to the above.
gus.
