• Having recently just quit my job after Covid burnout for a decent break, I decided to rediscover some of the hobbies I used to enjoy, before life and work commitments precluded me from following them.
• I’ve always been interested in photography and am an experienced intermediate RC pilot from way back, so the first thing that I did was buy a drone to complement my iPhone camera.
• The second thing I did was buy an entry level RC electric plane, to gauge if I was still into RC planes.
• The technological advances in both drones and RC planes in the last 25 years has blown me away and at a fraction of the cost back then.
• There is also a wealth of knowledge available on the Internet which has been hugely helpful in restarting this hobby.
•Join me… on my journey as I rediscover the RC Hobby and progress through a range of models… I will share with you my experiences, potential pitfalls and challenges that I faced getting back into RC Flying.

After barely being able to get airborne on 1S, I convert the DMFV Jump Racer to 2S and put it through its paces indoors and a quick jaunt outdoors.

However, the 4ch AFHDS 2A Mini Compatible Receiver from the AT08 Aliwoo Store in AliExpress as advertised to run on 3.3-10v… didn’t! When I connected it up to a 2S (7....
