The author has been building electric power models since 1978. Each guide draws on this massive depth of experience and is the result of thousands of hours of patient attention to detail. When you invest in these guides, you get access to this experience. Part 1 - Mastering Motors is the first of this essential 3-part series. The guide explains the principles and operation of both brushed and brushless motors. The two types of brushless motor, the inrunner and the outrunner, are covered in detail. Part 2 - More than Motors builds on the motor knowledge and understanding created in Part 1, and brings the complete power system to life. The focus of this guide is batteries, propellers, ESCs, wiring and connectors. The 68 pages of this 22,000 word guide offer superbly useful guidance. Like all Gibbs Guides, this one is written and illustrated in a clear and easy to understand way. No assumed prior knowledge is made.
