I used to own a couple RC trucks (which were a blast) but my I have a passion for aviation, but ZERO experience in the R'C world.
So, could some of the experts here give me a list or a link to some good suggestions for beginner planes? Any tips, trick would be great too.
Thanks much!!
hello, welcome to the club
Here's some tips you need to know.
When performing RC plane of any kind, you need to fly in a very responsible way especially if you're flying in a public place and there are other people around.
Choose your flying site carefully - RC airplane aerobatics usually require more airspace than normal flying, so make sure that the area is plenty big enough with no trees, posts …
Altitude is very important with most maneuvers; always give yourself as much space as possible between your airplane and the ground.
One final important point; the majority of RC airplane aerobatics are performed in to wind, you fly the airplane directly in to the wind when starting the aerobatic maneuver. This gives maximum lift and airflow over the control surfaces.
Enjoy flying
