RE: How does a brushless motor work?

My guess is, the guy's wondering, "Where did I put that v-tail mixer, hmmmm?"

Ever ponder why...

RE: How does a brushless motor work?

RE: Parkflyers.com GEE BEE RTF 3D

RE: Parkflyers.com GEE BEE RTF 3D

RE: Parkflyers.com GEE BEE RTF 3D

I learned to fly with a foamie profile - $20 and a bottle of CA. EZ to fix, and if you can it pretty well (comfortable to you), you'll be able to fly most anything else. At least I did.
Good luck,...

If you bought it from Parkflyers(?) they say the servo reversers are UNDER their name on the front. You have to peel it off. Not sure why, except heard they HAD to get their name on there. Bil
