There seem to be a lot of companies out there who do not encourage people to mess about with RC models I personally do not think there that there is any harm in having a bit of fun with them. So what would you do with some of the model kits if you actually had unlimited resources to mess about with them? These are some of the things I would do. continue reading »
Although fighting in war is not something that is that great of a thing and people would prefer that they just didn’t happen there are times where they are impossible to avoid. So how has measurement helped us to win the wars we have and would it have been the same outcome for many other parties without measurement?

There are many other uses (other than flying them for fun) that RC vehicles have given us and they have actually helped when it comes to things like fighting wars, catching criminals and doing jobs no human could actually do.
Spying
Many remote control helicopter as well as the more traditional RC aircraft are actually used for spying and obviously the planes are used more because they can go higher, are quieter and have longer lasting fuel on them.

WW2 actually changed the way that we saw the tank which is why it has to be spoken about
WW2
Again WW2 wasn’t a time in which tanks made the most of cable ties and Hellermann tyton but it has to be the time where tanks were used to win battles rather than just as an extra. Without the tank developing it would be safe to say that WW2 would not have finished the way that it did. During this time the tank really came into play and it was turned from a heap of metal to the best used weapons system in the war. continue reading »
There have been many tanks made since they first were used in WW1, some have been bad in the way that they used Deutsch connectors and Solenoids and others have just been terrible in general.
