does the radio that you recommended work with an rc boat that we have we need a new radio and also want to make a few planes and only want 1 radio now that the new 2.4 radios can have multiple sets of i guess you can call them rc stuff the radio is the dx6i to be specific and the batterys 4 or 3 cell for the planes and about the rudders how come when i use my rudder on my bros sky fly i end up in a death spiral of doom and have to catch the plane like a punt not 2 good at it no more wings
hey dave, I’m from charlotte nc. I enjoy all ur rc stuff. Ive attempted to fly the f22 but didnt hv much luck, but im hving a great time with the easy300. over here in charlotte all we hv r hobby town usa’s. theres about 4 of them. they cary alot of e-flight stuff. but keep up the good stuff. U GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!! PS hi val
i like your videos a lot.
Is it possible to link a gyro up to a motor ? I was thinking you could put a motor inside of a rc car and attach a piece of lead to the end. Then you could use the torque roll to control the roll of the car… Also connect a gyro to control the steering. You could create a super stable off road car…
I am looking into buying the cessna 182 skylane from flyzone. It comes with a 5 channel tactic radio and i was wondering if that was a good versitile radio that i can use again.

not really. but yes there are some hi tech equipments being used such as altitude indicators, gyro( that prvents planes or helis frm unwanted movements) then theres also fly cam. i fly with a sunglass type monitor. the cam is at the bottom of my plane and i kinda take areial photography.other than these there are speed,and battery indicators.and FAIL SAFE meaning if u loose control of ur airplane it has a self saving feature that it wont crash and rather fly baack from where it took off from.
Great videos date, I have been watching your videos since last night and find it very enjoying. Great job with videos and everything you have been doing. You guys are awesome!! Will have lots of questions soon but for now just wanted to leave a comment.
I originally had a DS6i radio and found that it didn’t have enough channels, so i purchased a DX7. which a bit limiting so im thinking of a JR ProPo DSX9. But that is with time. but i recomend to anyone who already likes it and is looking for a new radion get a DX7.
And the BC6 chargers and win force lipo’s off ebay have given me no greif. Their really cheap. especially when you start needing 4 and 6 cells, they last a fairly long time to
btw have you considered adding some hitech in your rc planes, such as altitude or speed transmitters? Personally I know nothing about rc planes or cars but I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted to build some kind of an autopilot system or accomplished any pre-programmed flight, controlled from the ground of course?? I believe these planes can not take off with a laptop on board, can they?!!!
Are you related to David Duchovny?!?
At least there’s slight similarity
thank u for the nice and good job u r doing, it’s realy helping me alot as a beginner and i’m trying to watch all ur clips to understand all the things i need to know,you are the one and only here on youtube who is trying to learn us from his heart …. pls try to number ur clips so we can know how to watch ur clips, thanks again and god bless u and ur family.
Great Video
i think i want to build your F-177. it’s a nice plane.
2 weeks ago, i watched most all of your videos, now i can fly… it’s a wonder, i hope you making more of these videos, thank you
PS: the X-36 was the one of the best project ever
the firebird phantom is a GREAT 3channel starter plane, About $65.00 ready to fly.
Dave, Fantastic video yet again – not only do you have great technical talent and understanding of your craft, you are a great teacher and communicator,- your passion for RC truly shines and you are inspiration both within and outside the realm of RC!

Nice transformer in the background! love your videos and test flights. they’ve helped me so much. im a begginner so thanks for all the advice! keep up the good work and whatever your doin, kepp doin it!!
Hey dave , great vids and test flights.
Your info saved me a heap of mulla as your ecconomic logic is simple yet practical as far as having fun in the field.
Ps, It seem your headin down the road of vortex generators with the “flapparons” and all, wing stall will be your enemy as far as sharp angles of attack goes for landing and take off.
Keep up the good work . I wil be watchin
