ENJOY!!

And if anyone should care, my home is the one under all the trees, and have the green and white shed at the end of my yard.

This is the house and area I been talking about I bought 4 years ago for $49.5K total ;)

I depleted my uranium on my flight 4 days ago as it did a nose dive and flew back to 1980, and in doing so, I dont have enough power to reset the clock.

how do you learn how to fly a RC plane??? crashing a new cub on the first flight would really suck.

You pratice on a FREE flight sim, that doesnt suck, or uy MS or even better, the fkight sim x series and do some praticing.

For around $30~ you can buy a simulated radio gear, that will come with FMS usually, this way you an learn using something like the radio you would be getting rather then a pc joystick.

And yes, I will be putting music to it very soon to get rid of my main booster sounds.

As funboy said, a sim can go a long way. Also understanding some basic flight principles will help you make good decisions when not under duress.

Also as I mentioned getting the right plane first makes a big difference too. The one I have, and the ones I listed in the HD section have parts that you replace when you break them that only cost a few bucks rather then having to buy a whole new plane. This one and the others, all have most parts under $10 that you may mess up, and these are built pretty good just as long as you dont nose dive and hit ground at full speed.

But if you get it up pretty high, and they get pretty high before you lose signal, Ive made mine a small dot in the sky and still had control, but high enough to where if you mess around chances of crashing is almost impossible, its the landings that is really the hardest thing, especially if you have never done rc before because when you land coming at you, controllers are reversed, left makes plane gor right, right makes plane go left for its coming at you not away, and still to this day, with a plane, and the sim, I have trouble landing a plane, but with more practice and fly time, Ill get it, and then put a brushless set up in mine to give me more power, speed, and much longer run times, but for now, Im just having a blast flying, and making videos, keeping my mind of some crap going around out here, so Im hoping you all are enjoying them as much as I am making them, and watching them as well :D
