Maker Hangar is a 15-part video series by Lucas Weakley.
In Episode 7 of Maker Hangar, Lucas Weakley teaches us about R/C receivers. These take the signals from transmitters and allow you to control your plane. We learn how the channels on the receiver correspond to the sticks and switches on the transmitters. Also Lucas goes over how to power receivers, and how and where to place them on your plane.
MAKE andย Lucas Weakleyย have teamed up to bring youย Maker Hangar, a 15-episode tutorial series that will teach you everything you need to know to build and fly this custom RC plane, the Maker Trainer.
New installments will air every Tuesday and Thursday through August. Also, be sure to join us on theย Maker Hangar Google+ Community pageย to share your ideas, comments, photos and video and details for your own RC plane project builds.
Lucas Weakley is a 17-year-old Eagle Scout who will be a senior next year in the Engineering and Manufacturing Institute for Technology (EMIT) at Forest High School in Ocala, Fla. Lucas became interested in flight and got his first RC plane for his ninth birthday. Recently heโs been designing and building his own planes and hosts an R/C aircraft YouTube show calledย BusyBee TV. Lucas also has his own aerial videography company called TopView Aerials.
