Technical Review - 2004/11
FMA DIRECT’S Flight Systems 5 (FS5) is a
new concept in RC receiver circuit design.
Although the company does offer complete
RC systems (transmitter, receiver, servos,
batteries, etc.), one of its primary product
lines for many years has been what are called
“aftermarket” RC receivers. They have been
designed so that almost any FM (also known
as Pulse Position Modulation, or PPM)
transmitter on the market can operate them.
Radio Control Systems the Real Basics
Last month I introduced the subject of
learning model aviation “from the
ground up.” As the name implies, this is
a beginner series that will be devoted to
people at the entry point of our
wonderful hobby. The sequence of
articles planned for this series follows a
logical order to allow you to enjoy the
learning process. After all, it is a hobby
and it is supposed to be fun.

ELECTRIC POWER HAS been with
us for many years and continues to grow
as various technologies (motors,
batteries, ESCs, etc.) continue to
improve. Until approximately six years
ago, electric power was primarily
associated with radio-controlled model
aircraft. Today we are seeing it used in
more applications, such as FF and CL.
