Found this series of videos by RC-Powers very helpful, with the subject matter well presented.  

Should be a good guide beginners, especially while starting with electrics.

And if you want to get into more advanced setup stuff, see this :

Very useful build and flying tips. Never knew that CF rods needed to be cut carefully. I cut mine with a knife or a cutting plier. I do get a few bits of CF "dust" and wipe them away. Whats harmful about dust from cutting a CF tube, rod or flat??

People say asbestos is worse. 

Simple solutions do seem to apply while cutting CF rods, like wet paper napkins.

Whoa !!! Since when did Beijing China made its way into Andaman And Nicobar Islands?
I am aware that that country has plans to enter into the Bay of Bengal and Malacca Straits since long but never imagined that it has already established itself there in the Islands. I think you are aware that China has offered to send 4 or 5 frigates and submarines in to that area on the pretext of helping in the search operations of missing Malaysian aircraft MH370  but India stood firm and said  'NO, No, No.' These waters around Andaman and Nicobar Islands that straddles Malacca Strait, are a major maritime choke point key to Beijing's energy security.
Less known to the outside world, Andaman Nicobar are territories that give India the leverage to emerge as the gate-keeper to Malacca Strait that witnesses the maximum container traffic from and to the western Pacific. Capital Port Blair is home to the only tri-services operational command of the Indian armed forces that has assets from the Army, Navy, Air Force and the Coast Guard. India is converting the Andaman and Nicobar Command into a major amphibious warfare hub, setting up full-fledged training facilities and basing a sea-and-land fighting unit to provide teeth to its capability to take the battle into enemy shores.
There is a growing realisation in India that the Andaman and Nicobar, apart from Lakshadweep on the West, hold the key to dominating the vital maritime zones and securing the economic and strategic interests.
PS : I too was not aware of it until I came across this facts in news papers. So, no first hand knowledge, I acknowledge. 

This is a useful video when considering moving up from micro flyers to full size planes.

motors get faster even when throttle is at fixed position in quadcopter......quattro esc kk 2.1.5....can anyone help

Please stop posting your doubts on multiple threads 

Hello friends I am Avijit. I am a beginner to this hobby. Can any one tell me where would I get depron in kolkata?. I have made plane with high density thermocol with 1000kv brushless motor, 30A esc and 2200mAh LiPo battery. The plane becomes very much weighty and could'nt fly. Every time it fly a little bit and crash on head down. Please give me some suggestion.

There is absolutely no problem with thermocol. And if you are new you are going to crash often so don't worry.
Depron is not essential. You can cover thermocol with newspaper using fevcol + water (1:1 ratio)
Have good profile wing shape, if it isn't possible to shape properly you can go with kfm wing profile.

If your plane nose dives then you need to check your CG. You can check this video. You will get better idea about CG
