Radio Control Electrics Bob Kopski THIS inaugural RC Electrics am honored have asked Model Aviation write regularly RC Electrics basically intended how-to column As such Ill try offer useful informative information month help make Electric-powered modeling successful enjoyablewith under standing sizeable number potential topics already lined up Id wel come inputs how-to nature anyone willing share experience accomplishments cannot say such offerings could included Ill best accommodate possible Also Ill probably refer encing various subjects MAs 10-month Electric Series September
