Customer Testimonials(continued from front page)
...give you a call.
You provided me with information and advice and there was never a sense of a salesman trying to get a sale no matter what, but rather a guy who loves RC planes simply wanting to help me. I realized that I was talking to someone who cares about customers, not easy to find any more.
Thanks for making my first RC experience go as smoothly and enjoyably as possible. You seem to have lots and lots of knowledge gained from first-hand experience in the field that you can pass on to a newbie like myself. You have patience and really listened to me, providing me with the best information and advice possible. Thanks for providing this customer with your many years of RC know how. This is something of great value to anyone interested in remote control hobbies.
Im glad to begin my RC hobby with Remote-Control-RC-Hobby rather than any other company, and look forward to continuing my business here Steve.
Thank you and take care,

Hi Steve
I would like to express my many thanks for the quick action you chose to resolve a problem with a R/C Rx that I had. It is obvious your website does not have a backburner for customer service and I would invite anyone to visit ( remote-control-rc-hobby ) for good advice, service, and honest pricing.
I am impressed with your - "people first, dollar second "- approach.

Steve, got my new motors and heatsink in. Everything is running great again. I was a little rusty since i had not flown the heli in 3 weeks, but i was amazed at how well i did with it since it had been so long.
Being a nobie to the RC world, i knew absolutly nothing about general RC equipment and RC aircraft, i knew even less about RC heli's. Although it has always been a dream of mine to own one, I always thought it was either too expensive or too hard for someone like myself. Then when i met you Steve you walked me through everything and were very patient with me while i made my decision on which heli to buy. As you know, I ended up getting a GWS FEDA mini dragonfly and the price was unbelievable and you even included some extra's at no extra charge to me.
Steve you made a lifetime customer out of me. Thanks man!

Dear Steve,
It's me again. This time I wanted to say THANK YOU for such excellent customer service and product support. As you know I was quite anxious to get my Tiger Moth in the air and flying. When I realized there was a small problem with the radio it took the wind out of my sails.
However, your professionalism and genuine concern for my problem put me at ease. You solved it and I am one very excited RC pilot. The Tiger Moth works great and I am beginning the fun but challenging game of getting and keeping the plane in the air (with no crashes yet!)
Once again, thank you. Remote Control RC Hobby is the place to go!
Kindest regards,
Frank

Steve,
Just to let you know, although this hasn't been a perfect transaction, I really put that to the fault of UPS. The amount of support and ease of part replacement, not to mention the conversation with you easily ranks the overall experience as a definite positive on eBay, and I will post feedback accordingly once the complete transaction is done.
Bye for now,
Chris

Hello Steve,
Thank you once again for your email and newsletter.
I have problems reading your newsletter because I get excited and go from article to article and before I know it, its (oops!) 5 am. Gee, I think I better get to bed but really THANKS for cheering up my little life.
Kind Regards,
Gerry from Australia

Steve,
Received the RC yacht in perfect condition -- 3000 miles and to East Coast & no problems. This was my first transaction on eBay and it was painless as well as rewarding. The RC boat is everything that was described in the ad and by the picture. Your follow up via email was great. Thanks again for a enjoyable purchase experience.
Regards,

Must read lithium battery information and order form
The Amazing RC Lithium Battery
(All links open new windows)
Lithium battery
technology is based on the material characteristics of lithium - the lightest metal with the highest electrochemical potential of any solid material. The technology has not yet fully matured and is still being improved continuously as new metal and chemical combinations are being tried to increase energy density and prolong service life.In many ways, lithium is superior to nickel and lead-based chemistries and the applications for a lithium battery are growing as a result. One of the most exciting applications of course is in the radio control hobby field. A lithium battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge and frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often (they are good for 300-500 discharge/charge cycles) or use a larger battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges.Aging of lithium-ion is an issue that is often ignored and a lithium battery has a lifetime of 2-3 years. The clock starts ticking as soon as the battery comes off the manufacturing line and the capacity loss is the result of increased internal resistance caused by oxidation. Eventually, the cell resistance will reach a point where the pack can no longer deliver the stored energy, although the battery may still contain ample charge. With lithium cells, there is always the risk of fire which can result from shorting, improper charging or crash damage to the batteries. And because a lithium battery fire is very hot (several thousand degrees) it often starts other fires which can result in burning down the house! Now the reason fire occurs is due to contact between the lithium and oxygen in the air. It doesnt need any other source of ignition or fuel to start, and burns almost explosively.Please follow these simple safety rules:Store and charge in a fireproof container, never in your model. I keep and charge mine in a metal garbage can lid. Never leave the charging process unattended, especially overnight. Charge in a protected area away from any combustibles. Always stand watch over the charging process. Never attempt to charge a lithium battery that has been damaged and if it has been damaged, carefully remove it to a safe place for at least a half hour to observe. After sufficient time to ensure safety, damaged cells should be discarded at a recycling depot, not in the garbage.. Always use a dedicated lithium charger, never a Ni-Cd/NiMh charger. Use charging systems that monitor and control the charge state of each cell in the pack because unbalanced cells can lead to the overcharge of a single cell in the pack resulting in swelling. If swelling occurs, discontinue charging immediately and remove to a safe place outside.Other than thatenjoy!!Superior lithium ion polymer batteries (LiPol or LiPo) like the Thunder Power above and the Apogee batteries below, use a polymer electrolyte that can be packaged in flexible material and designed to prevent explosion making them safe to handle as an RC battery. These cells offer working voltages in the range of 3.0~4.2V compared to 1.2V~1.5V for lead acid, NiCd, and NiMh rechargeable batteries so it takes only half the number of cells to achieve the same voltage. Note: as I mentioned, many chargers used in the radio control market today can't support the lithium rechargeable battery characteristics and therefore require their own unique charger, which you'll find by clicking here. LiPoly Battery Features:Thunder Power, E-Flight and Apogee are some of the best lithium batteries on the market!Up to 1000 cycles (twice the ordinary)Extremely lightweight & compactProvides 5X the operating time of same-sized NiCdsNo memory effect3.7 volt cell output provides 3X the reliability of NiCdsCell chemistry is non-toxic and contains no carcinogens

How to sustain fish care
You should consider medicines, equipment, food, electricity supply, filters, air supply, heaters, etc. You will also want to add gravel, floss, buffers, etc to your list of get items. Most fish enjoy gravel, plants, light, etc; mostly fish enjoy food and water.
Filtration systems are necessary, since the filters help to keep your aquarium free of algae and harmful chemicals, which can lead to poor health and even death. Filtration systems include chemical, carbon, mechanical, and biological. The variants of the filters include the internal, external, and under-gravel filtration systems. In addition to filtration systems, you want to toss in water treatments. The water treatments will remove what filtration systems miss.
Coldwater fish such as the Goldfish tend to adjust to cool waters. Therefore, you may not need to purchase a heater for this breed, providing you are only housing goldfish, or compatible fish. Goldfish tend to live well in tropical environments. Still, you want to maintain a balanced water temperature. Goldfish are adaptable fish, yet they demand oxygen. Most goldfish swim to the surface to gulp air, oxygenating their system.

Four aerodynamic forces at play on a model
The four aerodynamic forces at play on a model are lift, drag, thrust and gravity.
1. Lift ?The result of airflow over the curved upper and lower wing surfaces. It is the force that keeps the model in the air.
2. Gravity - This is the force exerted on the model that pulls it down.
3. Thrust - Thrust pushes or pulls the model forward.
4. Drag - the opposite of thrust, drag is created by the friction of model against the air as it moves forward.
Discover the best models for getting started in rc planes.
