LAST DAY we're putting ONE random awesome RC Car from Horizon Hobby in an order on cleetusmcfarland.com Check it out, you may get a call!
Well guys... I was FORCED into buying this super awesome R/C plane by my buddies haha. It's gotta be one of the craziest things I've ever operated. It's so fast and maneuvers like nothing I've ever seen!

I was wondering if it could be done. It seems like it would be easier in a way, but I have only done RC cars a few times and am an equipment operator here and there so I"m used to running lifts and excavators backwards (my preferred way to walk them any distance) but with the stakes of crashing a plane, it seems like first person would be easier but also cool as hell, maybe scary.

What a cool jet! You are living every little boy's dream! We never grow up, the toys just get bigger and more expensive. Energy management is the same struggle in bigger planes too as you move to faster and more slippery birds. If you bounce off the runway, you have excess energy (speed). Cutting power back at the right time and nailing your approach speed is the magic that makes or breaks a good approach and landing.

@StarJar58 2 ай бұрын

The delta wing supposedly can have a much higher angle of attack on landing than a wing with less than 30° sweep. It also generates humungus lift at those high angles. This is only useful in landing. But at the high angles (15-20 degrees) it also creates humongous drag. So a go around can involve a slow transition to safe climb configuration. But something to experiment with on landing. All the residual thrust probably makes it trickier to set up for high nose landings. Deltas are a breed of their own. Then with the canard, that throws in another element, which may negate everything I just said, as it controls the stall angle. Have fun. Cool machine.
