I believe I can fly… no, REALLY!

With my recent RC Helicopter flights I thought I'd try my hand at fixed wing flying. Here are my first attempts and watch out for Take 13…. I could never do that again even if I wanted to!

I have the same one,but didn't take me long to learn to fly it.I crashed it a couple of times. the back of the wing get nipped by the prop when it crash on the ground.I still fly it when its calm weekend. When I fly it high up,I cut the throttle off it glides and it stays up a lot longer than usual 12 minutes flight.

I tried a wireless video camera - one of those micro security ones but quality was really poor. Have ordered a 5in1 eDVR usb video camera from eBay has 128Mb ram and has had very good reports around the net.

Yes I know what you man about using the sim… my flying improved out of sight after a couple of hours practice..

If you watch the …
If you watch the whole video you'll see that it actually flies fantastically… I'd say it got to about 200 to 250 feet and would have gone higher or further except I chickened out and brought it back. The problem initially (first 11 attempts) was not having the rudder control cable adjusted correctly. It was out by only about 1 or 2 mm but caused the plane to pull to the right every time. Being a noob, it didn't click with me for a while :-)

and realflight(realflight is a must) i havent had a single crash due to pilot error. where are you getting the on board camera from?

i wasnt making a snide comment, just an observation. i had one of those planes and i never got to go more than about 10 ft at the most. if you took the time with a real trainer plane you wouldnt have to worry about crashing. ive had 3 planes in 2 years. first one was defect(wings split in mid-air) the second i still have, and the third was shot down(someone jumped on my chanel). i have now learned that with the right radio, plane…
