If the prop is stopped, you're less likely to break the prop on landing. Use the programming instructions to enable ESC braking (basically, electronics magic to stop ('brake') the propeller instead of letting it windmill on the way down). If you're building a belly lander, and have a choice of an ESC, get a programmable one. Simple airplanes can make do with 3 channels (throttle, elevator, rudder), more complex ones will add ailerons, flaps, landing gear (6 channels so far), blinkenlights, NERF shooters, rainbow generators. The remaining channels are used for control surfaces and it stands to reason that you need as many channels as controls you have. the ESC) to channel 1, and the same trio of wires is used to supply the 5V needed for the Rx. Radio Receiver - receives transmissions from your Tx, and commands the appropriate controls to move.You connect a pushrod to these, which translates linear motion from one side to the other Control horns - little pieces of plastic that attach to the servo (on one end) and the control surface (e.g.Typically these will plug into your radio receiver. Servo - Stuff that moves movable parts, like rudder, aileron, flaps, etc.Motor specs will generally list what props work with the motor, a little variation is usually OK. Prop size depends on KV and your battery, the main consideration being the tip speed of the prop shouldn't go much faster than Mach 0.82 (and preferably lower, so you fly quieter). Propeller - Fits onto the motor, to turn the rotation into thrust.For most small airplanes, something in the range of 2000 - 3000 kV (with a 6' - 5' prop) works fine. Comes in a WIDE variety of sizes and capabilities. The latter is a bit more complex (but the complexity is hidden from you, in the ESC) and more powerful than the brushed variety. Motor - turns electricity into rotation.So a 1000 kV motor will, with a 2S (so 7.4V nominal) battery try to provide 7.4*1000 = 7400 RPM. kV - a 'unit' of motor speed, to be read as 'RPM per volt'.JST, JST-PH, JST-XH, XT30, XT60 - all kinds of connectors used between the battery and ESC.Tx/Rx - Radio transmitter (the thing in your hand with the sticks and switches) and Receiver (the thing that goes in the airplane).A piece of electronics that converts some amount of voltage (usually whatever your battery gives often 2S-4S) and converts it to 5V which can be fed to your radio receiver. Many (if not most) ESCs you will get include a 'BEC' (see below) ESCs come in two varieties - ones for brushed motors and ones for brushless motors. ESC - Electronic Speed Controller, the thing that takes the juice from your battery and converts it into oomph of the motor.For this you'll need a balance charger (e.g. the process of making sure each cell in the battery is charged to the same level. Batteries 2S and up need to be 'balance charged', i.e.

They're rated in S and C the S being how many cells are in series (each cell being 3.7V nominal, 4.2V peak), and the C being how fast the battery can discharge, as a multiplier of the capacity in mAh (so a 500 mAh, 50C battery can be safely drained at 50*500mA=25A). LiPo - A kind of battery popular in the RC world (Lithium Polymer, if you're wondering).A few you'll encounter very frequently are: Honestly, there aren't that many acronyms you need to know going in.
