I put my cessna 745-I 3ch like you said I should towards the wind to take
off. I released it with my hand with a 75% throttle and it didnt go very
well. The plane went up like 10 feet an was like a kite just floating on
the wind and then I decreased the throttle and it crashed and the prop
broke. What should I have done differently? Should I have increased the
throttle? Was the wind to strong for my plane? Thankful for answers
man, I wish they would have uploaded these videos earlyer, crashed a 150$
plane and cant repair it
I’m confused, so how so you do the range test? Like are you looking for it
to stop doing what you’re telling the plane to do?
i know this is late, i had a simple model plane like that before it tore
itself to apart midair (close to the ground on landing attempt), and
everything on it was stock components.
Just built my First pusher rc wing. It has no landing gear. How do i Launch
it?
i just realized that they are both named josh
I just bought the big idol from hobbyking. im new to this and like your
vids. will try and send pics of build
So if you’re in mostly indoors area does that mean it is better to have a
wing plane ?
what is the best plane to learn to fly with under $200
Josh + Josh = awesome !
nice and kushy
I had this plane,it was nice. But,wish they had an upgrade kit to install
ailerons.
What about P- factor and left turning tendency and ground effect. and that
aircraft is defiantly a STOL aircraft.
other than that good coverage
what is the best plane to learn to fly with under $200
is that a super cub s?
great planes for those who are starting the hobby
A fantastic, informative and fun introduction to RC flying. I’m really
looking forward to watching the others in this series.
thanks guys. i am new to rc flying and your videos have helped me alot
What airplane did you use
He is so instinctive, when he uses his rudder he still uses the left stick
Does the receiver always have to have the same amount of channels as the
transmitter?
So I was thinking on buying this plane: Playmate Micro RTF and I’m a
beginner to the plane hobby thing too. Also, I was looking over on how to
fly it and I came by this now I feel kinda scared or so to say, about
flying it because I’m worried I might break it.
Will you guys go into how to connect remotes and so on. Not just what you
do to connect most receivers to remotes but go into detail
My gamma 370 tx doesnt talk to the planes stock same brand rx. Tx batteries
are fine, The bind is complete according to led status but nothing is
happening. Do you reckon the lipo is dead?
“Kush is good”
could it take off on a milling driveway?
Very nice video series so far. Do you guys have a video series for FPV ?
lanch a glider from a rc car
Just bought a plane took it out to fly wind caught it and blew it away:(
nice reference to Tommy Twotone 5:15
Thanks. Very useful.
What mode transmitter do you use?
Funny number, but should be “Jenny”, not spongebob.
Hey you blokes are Nutty but OK so keep on Keeping on .:)000
Beginner tip: Always read the manual! I love manuals.
when your range testing and have a friend to help, its better to get one
walk out 30 paces with the plane hold it up and spin around slowly, its
quicker and your friend can also tell you if it fails or not
So two days ago I bought an RC helicopter from a local radio shack out of
an impulse buy while messing with it I was watching videos on others which
led me to your guys’s channel and I wanted to let you all know that your
videos are awesome! Really have me interested in R/C flying hobby and I am
really looking forward to advancing. I really want to do FPV flying! Anyway
I just wanted to let you all know how much of an awesome job you all do and
you just made a huge fan with in two days out of an impulse buyer, haha and
hopefully soon an FPV flyer like yourselves. Again thank you all for your
videos, keep it up!
I love this series and love this channel if i had this when i got into the
hobby i wouldn’t have killed half my planes.I was wondering though if in
the future say after you finished with beginner planes you might do a
Quad/tricopter series like this i have wanted to get started flying quads
for a bit now and it’s a little confusing the motors,props weights even
flight patterns as different copters fly different ways. it would be
awesome if you would do a series just like this for beginner copter
enthusiasts.
What’s that planes name?
for the white plane, I thought mode 2 tx configuration was the standard?
What’s that plane name?
This is actually one of the most useful videos I’ve seen for beginners
learning how to fly. A great series as a whole…
Flite Test,
Could you please make s video about the best equipment for scratch
building. i know what i need as far as motor, servos, esc, reciver, etc. I
just dont know which one to buy since there is like a thousand different
ones for everything.
Thanks for the help.
What is the link for the white plane?
Hey, guys your really awesome and i was wondering if you could do a review
of the hubsan x4 v2 and maybe even an FPV conversion for that.
