RE: Gonna try to get in to planes again
im talking with an experiecned pilot, he's a member here at RCU, though i dont know his user name!
the plan for now is, skip the tame cat. he told me about a trainer plane at tower hobbies , its $109 , it did have free shipping till yesterday.
its a ARF hobbico Avistar 46 i think. i have a new OS46 FX that i can use in it. ill be purchasing a used high wing electric trainer for a good price.
in trade ill be doing soon, ill be getting 4 servos ,reciever and radio from my old hobbico nexstar , ill end up using that radio and servos in the used high wing trainer plane to get my practicing now. the experienced pilot also has a buddy box, so when i take up the electric trainer ,if i have any problems the experienced pilot can take over.
gonna start on the electric trainer ,then move up to the gas high wing trainer,once i master the high wing trainer , id like to try out the low wing trainer and eventually be learn to fly warbirds. but first step is mastering that electric high wing trainer!
the things i need to work on is lining up the plane for landing , and actually landing it. when i flew my nexstar, i was alone and the only experience before that was flying smaller 3 channel planes. i told the experienced pilot about the times i flew my nexstar, apparently it wasnt balanced properly, and i was real luck to have not crashed on landing or take off.
so now , im just gonna listen to the veterans and take advice that is given, i dont feel like waisting money, or build time on planes because i wanna go with what i "Think"is rite.
rite now im looking for a good 2.4Ghz radio, trying to find a G3.5 flight sim to work on the landing / approach , another thing is, im going to buy brand new Reciever batteries and a meter.
not gonna go cheap there, i have read lots of stories about crashes due to reciever battery failure.
hopefully if i listen and take advice, things should go well ,and hopefully i wont come home with a box of fire wood that resembles an airplane.
