Dimitrios Katsoulis February 14, 2023 9:00 am No Comments       Even today most of a workshop’s equipment is made of glass.            Why? Because glass can withstand no matter how much a corrosive acid attacks it, and so the scientists in a lab are safe even if something caustic, something oxidizing is what they are testing with their equipment. It’s actually inorganic matter and it doesn’t contain carbon. What happens in that case; the material is fireproof. If you think about it, fiberglass is what people weave those impressive th ..read more

Carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) Dimitrios Katsoulis February 14, 2023 7:07 am No Comments       It is unique the way mother Nature creates the eggshell.       So, the question is this: what would be the PERFECT man-made, technological material that we could use if we wanted to make an egg with a synthetic shell? It’s a material that modelers know well! Carbon-fiber reinforced plastics or carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP).       So, if we were to make a bionic egg, this would be an ideal material to choose! CFRP is cert ..read more

3D Printing Dimitrios Katsoulis | October 23, 2022      “Did you know?”        3D Printing has arrived and now shows the future in the life of the hobbyist        There is no doubt that soon, the parts needed by someone who is also active in RC modeling will soon be ‘printed’ rather than ordered from a supplier in too many cases. Let’s look at some examples of the last few years that are also major milestone achievements for digital printing requirements.       – A printed jet engine        G ..read more

Hitec HTS-SS telemetry Dimitrios Katsoulis | March 28, 2021       Technology with its daily leaps and bounds has long ago given our favorite hobby possibilities which a few years ago would have been simply unthinkable or simply economically unattainable. Telemetry is one of them which allow the transmission of real time information from the receiver to the transmitter.       As we already use the Hitec Aurora 9 to control the flagship of our aircraft fleet the YAK 54,       we obtained the HTS-SS Sensor Station (the Nitro version ..read more

DIY airplane wheel chocks Dimitrios Katsoulis | November 18, 2019       Wheel chocks are one of the essential pieces of ground equipment for every aircraft. They are widely used from every aircraft owner or aircrafts ground crews either military or civilian, as they prevent them from moving until they are ready to move.       A methodical RC aircraft owner should follow the same safety rules for his RC aircraft either during transportation to and from the airfield, or in the pit area. In both areas, your RC model aircraft needs to be secured fr ..read more

RC brushless motor replacement guide Dimitrios Katsoulis | August 15, 2019       With hundreds, if not thousands of brushless motors out there, it’s sometimes frustrating to determine which motor is the right choice in case your airplane΄s original one needs to be replaced.        It is a fairly easy task when the original motor is still in production by the manufacturer, but the search becomes time consuming, when is no longer available and you have to replaced it with a similar one or perhaps with a more powerful, but still within the limi ..read more
