As I've progressed over the past year from making little foam gliders to making the APM Powered Nova, I've decided that when I "arrived", aka was able to design, build and fly my own RC airplanes, I'd make a series of high quality videos that would help others make a similar journey. These videos would provide a resource for new people to get started, and resource for experienced people to refer newer people to (if you're like me, while I enjoy teaching others the basics, it does get a little tiring explaining the same thing over and over).

To assist me in accomplishing this, I launched a Kickstarter project for the purpose of raising $500 to pay for an HD camera, lighting, micophone, and materials to build workbench that will allow me to create the highest quality tutorial videos.

Go to my Kickstarter project page to learn all the details.

I'm currently considering the following video ideas to get started (see below). In time, I'll move onto more advanced subjects, like FPV and autopilot.

If you choose to contribute (any amount will help!), I thank you! There are "rewards" (see the Kickstarter page to learn more) that I'm giving to contributors.

Video Ideas:
