Purpose

The purpose of this website is to provide a problem solving database for radio control aircraft. It was conceived out of frustration at having to search through many websites to try and seek solutions when if there was a single place to find concise, relevant and authoritative answers life would be so much easier. This website was started in Autumn 2015 and sufficient articles added by March 2016 to go for an official launch. The intention is that it will grow as more volunteer contributors come forward either to enhance existing articles or add new articles.

The originator of this idea is Bob Hynes of the South Cheshire Radio Control Society (SCRCS) and he enlisted the help of fellow club member Ian Jones. Together they formulated the framework and production of this website in their own time and at their own cost.

Makeup of articles

All articles have three main features that must be present.

1. The article title is a brief description of the problem as perceived when it occurs.
2. The body of the article contains the potential cause(s) and
3. the potential fix(es).

Where necessary additional explanatory comments are included together with photographs, sketches and Youtube videos.

The safety category is an exception to the problem, cause & fix make-up of all other articles because although they can be used to research safety issues after problems arise, it would be much better if the issues could be prevented from arising in the first place. Consequently these articles are of a pro-active make-up rather than re-active.

Who is it for?

Everyone, regardless of experience or degree of knowledge; all can use it to problem solve or contribute to help others.
