They talk about what to look for as a first airplane, and give their picks on what a good model would be. They also delve a bit into Lipo batteries, covering the proper care and storage of them. **************** Join our Discord server: https://rcplanelab.com/discord Take a moment to fill out our listener survey: https://rcplanelab.com/listener-survey/ Support us by becoming a Patron! https://rcplanelab.com/patreon​​​ Or Support us through Paypal https://paypal.me/rcplanelab Questions, comments?
