You literally almost had me screaming at you with the "Fake #1" bro. Don't give me a heart attack like that. Power to the people.

@Madmaxx600 6 месяцев назад

I got a Harbor freight box for my transmitter and put spare batteries, sunglasses and other must haves in there.

@Poopshooter_fpv 6 месяцев назад

Can't express it ebough.... a "nice" soldering station and proper flex and solder makes a world of difference....especially once I started flying drones alongside my planes

@stevendegiorgio3143 6 месяцев назад

I didn't know they have Z bend plyers.And I have been in R/C for over 45 years.I love these similar funny R/C videos.

@jasonhurdlow6607 6 месяцев назад

They're out of stock half the time. I've tried to buy them several times. I'm good with pliers though. 😊

@scotteeshelman5714 6 месяцев назад

Look at the dubro z bender. It isn't pliers, but its a really wonderful tool to have.

I kept this video playing in one window and had Amazon open in another. I had never heard of stick protectors and was sick of hearing the sticks go "sproing" whenever I took the tx out of the box. Thank you very much!

@joshuawfinn 6 месяцев назад

So about #1/20/#25, from a freeflighter who wants to defund the FAA but still gets his planes back: what you need is a quality low frequency tracking setup and a collapsible carp rod. The tracking system can be expensive or cheap depending upon your resourcefulness, but nondirectional beacons in the 215MHz band have absolutely spectacular range (forget air tags, only useful in populated areas), and FRS band units have similar range and can be used with the dirt cheap Baofeng transceivers (but now you need a custom yagi antenna, whereas the 215 band units work with Wildlife Tracking Systems receivers). The ultimate are the BMK Flexi units which provide full GPS and telemetry. The initial buy in is expensive but you have absolutely enormous range (>50 miles in air, >1mile ground) and utility in a system the size of your thumbnail. The carp rods are available from a variety of Chinese sources in lengths up to 18 meters, and at varying prices. They pay for themselves, regardless of cost, the first time you use them. Some will pack into a suitcase, also worth considering.

@TheSkinon 6 месяцев назад

with the servo testers, you can buy those blue cell checkers Cellmeter 8 or whatever they're called, and they have a servo tester built in!

Eminently useful, the list contained several great tools that I have managed to stay unaware of through 60 years in RC. Ear forceps? A menace to your ears, indispensable in your workshop. Amazing.

@userTJ39780 5 месяцев назад

Having built 43 Flite Test kits, I have Z-bend pliers, a very nice soldering set-up, many adapters, servo testers and Ernst stands. Never thought I needed a "Sun Blocker" or Magnet Pole, but I could see where they would have been helpful (prop nuts!!!!) Good list, but a tolerant spouse is #1!

@aterxter3437 6 месяцев назад

About flight sim, one easy option would be to by a cheap transmitter usb adapter : No joke, a few years ago, my club decided to by some cheap adapters from china to be able to use some training transmitters for the simulators. We just got an unexpected surprise when plugging the adapter in a second hand pc : every flight sim was installed on it, not the newest versions though, but every rc flight sim was on it, what an unexpected windfall

@bokusimondesu 6 месяцев назад

Great list! And if you have a transmitter case; never put it in the car, without closing it/securing the lid. 😅 If you have a 3d printer, there are multiple stick protector designs out there for free.

@parvo101 6 месяцев назад

The simulator testing would be awesome. I'm using a free drone sim right now that isn't very good so I've been looking around a little. I want one the will let me practice flying airplanes, helicopters and drones AIO, but that seems to be a unicorn type of product. Help in figuring the airplane sim part out would be an awesome Christmas come early to a lot of aspiring pilots. Thanks for all you do!

@ToastyMozart 5 месяцев назад

Yeah they tend to be pretty specialized since the control logic/aerodynamics are so different (unless they go exceptionally hardcore with the modeling). Personally I use Liftoff for quads, which is a lot of fun. And Picasim for planes because I'm cheap.

@Eatsgrease69 2 месяца назад

HELL YEAH

@thatairplaneguy 6 месяцев назад

I’ve been flying for almost 30 years and I’ve never had any of this except a transmitter case. It was a hassle to keep up with so I sold it. I’m definitely a minimalist. I have a tool box that has everything I could need at the field except glue. I don’t carry glue because it just spills.

don't forget batteries for the transmitter. The other day I got to my field just to realize my transmitter was about to die, and I didn't bring extra. Then I had to drive home with 5 still comepletely full batteries without flying :(

sunglasses - the 'model glasses' by Rapid Eyewear is pretty good. you get 4x different lense tints which help in different flying conditions.

@mitch_s 5 месяцев назад

Definitely would like some info on flight simulators. I don’t fly nearly enough and could use the practice. I have the AeroScout with Spektrum DXs transmitter. I believe they offer a dongle so that you can use your transmitter on a PC. Ideally I’d like to use my 27” Mac

you forgot A QUALITY HOT GLUE SETUP XD! i use mine a bit for fast repairs at the field.... my friend hot glued the motor mount of his timber onto the carbon fiber rods... i told him, "dude that is going to come off!" "nah it wont max, it will be fine" and i replied " that glue has no good surface to adhere to and is going to shoot it right out the front! if you fly it, i will be telling you, i told you so" THE NEXT DAY... (ring ring) "hello?" "hey uh max... my motor came off and i lost it in a cornfield..." "Olin i told you it wouldnt work! i told you so." "yeah yeah" {click} long story short, he didnt find his motor for 3 days LOL.. he put screws in it the next time and made sure it wouldnt come off!
