Thank you, brother! 😊

Appreciate this! Keep em coming folks 😃

@@bigbristv Very cool to see the journey, Bris! I bet you have some WW1 or 2 pilots in your family history.

Not sure but I'm enjoying flying now. Can't wait to break out the jet and hit 100mph like I did in the Vendetta 😊

@@bigbristv I'm thinking about going for that dollar on the water 😆👍

I think that's what I'm afraid of, I'll have to add on an annex just for planes 😄

I really like Spektrum products, evidence of this can be seen throughout my channel. But at this juncture, I'm not sure I want to shell out the dough for features I'll never use. This may change. Thanks 🙂

@@bigbristv Don't buy Spektrum radio gear it's way overpriced, buy a Radiomaster TX16s (4 in1). It has the features of $1500+ Spektrum radios. The 4 in 1 can be used across any and all models you can think of, and works with safe. I replaced my RTF Spektrum DxS with one, no issues. Best choice I made, as you can spend money on planes and not on a brand name.

@@will_howmy local club all use spektrum and I am just starting out with tx16s mkii other than it giving rf and telemetry warnings even though it’s working fine been the best investment I have made so far

Being a newbie i went with Spektrum because of ease of use vs the overwhelming programming of Radio Master. From what i hear if people are into spending more time tinkering with their radio than flying (not to mention the steep learning curve) then go with Radio Master.

@@mikemckinnis3877 Gotta agree with you there, but after using JR/Spektrum since the 80s, I just purchase a FrSky X20S, it a GREAT radio, dual band and receivers are WAY less expensive than Spektrum, however, the learning curve going from Spektrum to the FrSky was quite time consuming. But now I really love the FrSky X20s, and with the add on transmitter module, I'm flying ALL of my aircraft that have Spektrum type receivers.

😅👍

Thanks Chris!

Some good suggestions, thanks 😊

🤣😂

Exactly right! I'm contemplating another edf right now 🤔

@@bigbristv What can I say? I like props!

@@bigbristv Eflite's UMX A-10 is one of my favorite EDFs. Unlimited vertical on 3S, & a fun flyer on 2S. For that, tho, you'll need a better transmitter.... I use a Radiomaster ZORRO 4-in-1. They're about ninety on Ebay. A definite upgrade to any included radio & It'll let you fly anything else you buy.

😄

Thank you for this, it is very helpful.

@@bigbristv Over the years I've spoken to many people that wanted to fly RC aircraft and there have been SO MANY that went out and purchase everything to start into the hobby only to destroy the airplane on their first flight. And of course they were not only ticked but were usually out several hundred dollars and gave up on the hobby. When they tell me this, my first question to them is "would you get into a REAL airplane and try to fly it by yourself?" Of course there answer is "NO!" I'd probably crash. Then I explain to them that Flying RC Planes/Aircraft is the same way. If you want to succeed and not destroy your aircraft on the first/maiden flight, the BEST thing to do is join an AMA sanctioned club and have one of the Club instructors teach you how to fly. If you can't do that, AT MINIMUM, find someone who has been successfully flying for a couple of years and see if they will help you get started. When I started, we didn't have the buddy box, so when you screwed up and were going to crash your plane the instructor would grab your radio out of your hands to save it. It's SO MUCH EASIER for both student and Instructor with the the Buddy Box capabilities of the newer radios. I've watched a couple of your videos, you've got a good start, but try to stay with larger high wing planes when you begin. I was an Instructor for a friend of mine a couple of years ago and started him with a Phoenix Models Sonic high wing trainer. I explained to him, that once you can take off and land without feeling too nervous and you're capable of doing loops and rolls and being able to recover, then it might be time to move up to a "Low Wing" plane. Since he had all the electronics for a sonic, we moved him up to a Low Wing Sonic. Within six months to a year, maybe less, he was comfortably flying on his own and still does today.

@davidlykins8937 thanks for this.

Thanks 🙂

Thanks 🙂

Yup, as long as the grass/dirt isn't too deep 😄

Yup! 🙂

Thanks for the suggestion 🙂

@@bigbristv the bigger one that is, it flies about the same as that mustang at the easiest flight mode, but you can also disable the gyro for more fun. It’s very hard to crash as it’s stall speed it about jogging pace.

I think that may make me nauseous 🤢 😂

@bigbristv with a plane it's to slow for that maybe with a racing or freestyle drone if you get car sick of not sure you will be OK. It's a whole new experience you will love it I'm sure m, buy a cheap kit if you like it you can upgrade then let your friends use them and see what yous see.

@kanenstuff I'll look into that, thanks 😊

Thanks!

Thanks!

That's my next move! 🙂

Thanks James! 😁

Thanks!

It's a shame. I really wanted to keep that beautiful bird but maybe it's for the best.

🤔

Just keep in mind, that a 3D printer will run you several hundred or over a thousand dollars. Then you'll get to spend a ton of time setting up the printer, trying to get it to print correctly........many MORE hours. I have a Creality V3 (+$300), I've spent hours trying to get it set up right just to print simple stuff, bought a bunch of addons my buddy told me to get and it's pretty much a BIG paperweight.

@davidlykins8937 could have just bought a plane 😂

Yup 😄

@@bigbristvlook at the umx concendo. Very fun dual purpose

To this plane? I wouldn't recommend it, motor crapped out on me today 🤨

With Senton 😉

@@bigbristv yes i WANT SENTON BACK

😂 maybe if they make a Grom 🤔

@@bigbristv no no
