The Learn It! Build It! Fly It! Builder Resource Library Is Live
Free, in-depth guides for RC builders — no paywall, no signup, no strings.
We’ve been quietly building something.
For years, the most common questions we hear from builders are about power systems, propeller selection, and learning to fly. Good questions — the kind that used to require years of community involvement and a stack of magazine back-issues to answer well. We’ve started to change that.
Today we’re formally launching the Stevens Aeromodel Learn It! Build It! Fly It! builder resource library — a growing collection of free, in-depth articles written for RC builders, by RC builders. No paywall. No signup required. Just solid information you can actually use at the workbench and at the field.
Now in the Library
Selecting an Electric Power System for Your RC Airplane
Motor Kv, cell count, prop sizing, ESC matching, and how it all connects. The foundational guide for anyone building electric from scratch or upgrading a power system.
How to Fly an RC Airplane — A Complete Flight Guide
Pre-flight checks through landing, written for the builder who just finished their first kit and is standing at the field wondering what comes next.
Propeller Matching for Electric RC Airplanes — The Black Art Explained
Load factor, tip speed, pitch efficiency, altitude considerations, and how to match props to your power system for 2S and 3S setups.
More articles are in development. Topics in the queue include the history of geared vs. direct-drive motors, covering film techniques, and field setup and safety practices.
The library lives under Learn It! in our navigation — or go there directly from the link below. If you find it useful, share it with a builder who could use it.
