Tune in as the guys revisit one of their beginning episodes covering RC Planes for Beginners. A bit of a warning: This episode goes back to basics, covering terms and topics that are familiar to those of us that are not starting out in the hobby. They talk about what to look for as a first airplane, and give their picks on what a good model would be. They also delve a bit into Lipo batteries, covering the proper care and storage of them.    **************** Join our Discord server: https://rcplanelab.com/discord   Take a moment to fill out our listener survey: https://rcplanelab.com/listener-survey/   Support us by becoming a Patron! https://rcplanelab.com/patreon​​​   Or Support us through Paypal https://paypal.me/rcplanelab   Questions, comments?
