There are 2 servos which are responsible for moving the arm’s joints and a DC motor rotates the base. To increase the torque of the base motor, a 2 gear system is used. The gears […]

Thankfully it landed […]

I would also advise you to bring […]

After taking a break from scale modelling, I finally started the Skyraider. As with most other tamiya kits, none of the parts have any flash and […]

The flight time with the 2200 is about 7 to 8 minutes which is quite short compared to E-flite’s Corsair which uses the same battery […]

I made an airfield base out of MDF and am hoping to complete this diorama with a refuelling truck. Hello I have finally received the tamiya P-47! The fuselage has very nice details on it and I have decided to use the Eduard […]
