One good rule to remember when flying TOWARDS youself... Push the stick in the direction of the low wing. (ie left for / and right for \ ). It's simple to remember the phrase - " Stick to the low wing".

I learned to fly in the mid 1980's. WOW has it gotten cheaper and better. $250 for a full setup and no nitro mess is great. ( vs 500-1000 back then and a month to build it from balsa ) This would be a great first plane as its size is easy to see and it can fly pretty slow. My first plane was a Butterfly and took months to build. My second was a mid wing and I destroyed it on the first flight. I have played around with a few 049's and small electrics since but nothing in the "real" sizes. Thanks for the videos. I do miss going to the airfield and watching all the really cool planes fly.

One thing to talk about when flying in heavy winds is relative speed. When flying against the wind you can almost be stationary and still keep flying 'cause of the windspeed over the wind. But flying with the wind you must fly faster that the wind to keep the air flowing over the wing. And fly in 8's then you learn to turn both left and right.

Nate, I found myself yelling at my computer today and yesterday with Abby's maiden video when you talked about how to take off with this plane, "just give it full throttle and a lot of up" This plane will take off on it's own no elevator input is required. Slowly add throttle and it will take off on it's own. On another note I just wanted to let your viewers know that Horizon Hobby has a National R/C Flight Training program that started last year. The flight training is free when you purchase one of six designated beginner models, the training is provided free by one of over 300 volunteer coaches across the country. Go to the horizon hobby web site near the bottom of the page there is a heading titled learn, click on the Horizon Hobby Flight School Link for more info.

With a tricycle gear airplane, when taking off from a non-smooth surface (such as grass), while still on the ground you want to apply up elevator to reduce the load on the nose gear. Depending on the amount of authority (effect) the elevator has, an airplane may not need full elevator for this; excessive input might cause the tail to strike the ground. Also, the input can be reduced as the airplane accelerates since the increased airflow will increase the elevator’s effectiveness; reduce input as needed to maintain the initial effect. As the plane gets airborne, it is important to smoothly and promptly reduce the elevator input so that the airplane climbs at a normal rate. Continuing to hold full input can cause the airplane to pitch up too steeply and stall. Note that SAFE will override the excessive input to try to prevent a stall, which is very helpful for beginners, though learning good technique will produce even better results than just relying on the SAFE limits. Hope that helps!

Part of me still wants that plane. I dont know if I want one that badly. I am not a beginner but I do love to fly an easy to fly plane that is relaxing. I am glad you two covered the Apprentice and hope that many beginners consider this plane as a starter. I personally hate flying in wind simply because you expend all your battery power trying to keep your plane where you want it. Now that I have a plane with Flaps, I would rather fly that

Thanks for the video. I watch you guys a lot and its fun to see and hear your excitement flying RC aircraft. Regarding wind, I flew my E-Flite Habu SS (which has the 70 AMP 2400Kv 6 pole brushless motor and 70 mm ducted Fan unit, and 70 AMP 6S 50C battery) The conditions at the field 2 days ago were harsh. The flag was stretched and flapping fast which is indicative that he wind speed is 25 to 31 mph. Taxi and take off: Do not taxi cross wind. Place the plane into the wind and stand behind it to watch the take off role and rotation. My flight tactics were to keep the EDF jet on the ground and exceed V2 holding slight down elevator. Then do a near vertical take off to get away from the ground with all its turbulence and opportunities to be flipped during rotation. Final approach, landing, and roll out: Landing in gusty wind is not as easy. I come in hot and get ready for a headwind gust or downdraft as I approach the ground. This could lift the plane unexpectedly at close to touchdown which could cause a stall or a bounce which could ruin your landing gear. So once on the ground I hold down elevator, then I cut the throttle. It is like a carrier landing. " Safe" mode could help if you have it during Final if the wind is hammering you. The pay off to all of this is , once you are airborn you can have fun flying in the wind... it is like sailboarding on a rough day. Lots of fun.

I am an experienced rc pilot since 1965 and I will use a stabilised receiver in a small, light model. If we had AS3X type stabilising back in the old days things would have been a lot easier.

Other than that, learning how to fly has become easier for everyone. Keep it coming guys!

Great video of a new RC pilot. There is one small part that is not exactly correct when you are explaining how wind affects the airplane. In reality, an airplane in flight only "feels' relative wind. That is the wind flowing over the wings as the plane move through the air. Wind does affect "ground speed" which causes the person on the ground to perceive the plane going faster or slower when fiying with the wind or into the wind. It is somewhat important to understand this concept. I have a private pilot license and this principle is true for all aircraft once the plane is airborne. Thanks for taking the time to produce these training videos. Great job.

@lylekehrer6159 4 жыл бұрын

That's how I recognized it as when I first heard you say about the elevators, in movies they always say "pull up - pull up" and you always see them pulling BACK on the stick. And in a dive they're pushing the stick forward. Is the bigger planes better in the wind or breezy conditions? One day looked like there wasn't any wind, so I took the Sport Cub to a park and the breeze was throwing it off. Of course being new too, I got anxious and did something wrong though.

Hey guys, thanks so much. I’d like to see a little more talk about the controll inputs and their affection the plane, ie what the rudder does in conjunction with flaps.i don’t hear you mention it much. Thanks again

@chadpollman7970 4 жыл бұрын

Brief summary... Rudder input causes the airplane to yaw left/right around the vertical axis. Movement similar to a weathervane, though it will also cause the wings to bank (tilt) some. (Won’t be brief if I try to explain why, so I won’t.) Aileron (not flaps; Nate misspoke) input causes the airplane to bank (roll) left/right around the longitudinal (nose-to-tail) axis. Movement similar to that hunk of meat roasting on a spit, when viewed from one end of the spit. Or a seesaw, viewed from the side (seesaw = the wing). Will also cause the nose to yaw a little toward the high wing (again, non-brief physics). Elevator input influences the pitch attitude (nose-high/nose-low relative to the direction of movement) of the airplane, rotating around the horizontal/lateral axis (tumbling nose-over-tail, or vice-versa). Attitude works in conjunction with thrust (throttle input) to determine whether the airplane is climbing/descending/level and how quickly (yes, it’s more complicated, but that’s the gist of it). Hope that helps!

As long as you don't lose your grip there is no problem hanging below the bar but you will always be working on your balance when on the balance beam. Hope this make sense! Gary

I've never flown but I'm looking at f16 RTF eflite for first plane but a must for me in any plane is being able to take off and land in grass or concrete

DO NOT start with a Jet, they are definitely Advanced aircraft requiring a lot of experience flying before going to an EDF. Real pilots start on easy to fly propeller aircraft. Start with a High Wing Airplane like this one, BEST is Horizon Hobby CarbonZ RTF (ready To Fly) with SAFE+ and Auto Land.

Hi RC Saylors, appreciate your beginner vids on flying but can u pls show some picture in picture of the vid of how you are manipulating the transmitter stikcs in sync with what the plane is doing specially when you are doing knife edge, tip stall, barrell rolls or some crazy 3d maneuvers. i think these PIPs will be helpful mapping it what the plane is doing. thanks a lot for your time.....

Gil Fermin I was thinking the same thing just regular flying

The UMX Timber and UMX Waco can handle alot for the UMX size. The Turbo Timber on 4s can handle alot of wind as well. If your radio allows, set up your aircraft with 2 throttle cuts. Something I learned the hard way and I know a few very experienced RC helicopter pilots who do the same.

Question what is a good tip to lining up the plane with the runway without being too far out or too far in? And also how to make a good final turn with the rudder without the plane losing control?

Did you check the CG before maiden?

Can you do this again with the new Sport Club S PLEASE and the controller that it comes with?

What kind of higher mah battery will the plane take??

@northeastrailway. 3 жыл бұрын

I should've gotten this one for my first plane... I went "big or go home" and got the apprentice sts lol. Maiden was terrifying.. I ended up getting a sport cub s2 to get me familiar with controls and the disorienting part of rc flying, then I took the sts out and it was the same thing just 30 times the size lol!.

So, I think you should make a video on the best second plane and perhaps an intermediate series. I just got my second plane, and It was really hard to find people who knew what to get for a small field (300ft x 400ft approx)

Pros - I have a question - If you were instructors (or are one), would you recommend using the self stabilizing features for a beginner like me, or not? Thanks!

How about in future showing how to set up safe on a new reciver on a plane it would be great to see

Love watching you both fly! I'm a beginner and am learning lots just by watching your videos. By chance, do you have updated links to the gear in the description? Or perhaps product numbers on the Horizon Hobby page? Thanks for your content, really enjoying it!

I’ll get these links updated later today. Thanks for the heads up!
