RC Tech Tips is a place for people to learn about RC hobbies!

Hello, my name is John Williams and I am the owner and author at RC Tech Tips.

When I was growing up, my grandpa got me a remote controlled airplane. We learned to fly it with the help of the local flying club. I have fond memories of flying my plane on a calm Sunday afternoon with my family. These memories are why I started RC Tech Tips. I hope you will build those same memories with your family and I hope you find the information on this site useful and informative. If you have any questions, drop us a note by filling out a contact us form.
Here is a picture of my mom and I with my first trainer airplane. This photo was taken in 1999!
