RE: Getting started is so dang hard
Like I said before wait until i post again to answer my questions I usually answer them myself. Better yet I won't ask any questions until I've done as much searching as I can.
Good point about the ground air thing. My dad said the same thing.
But I've learned to ignore any advice given from my dad about this hobby. He just about lost me my plane.........I had the Firebird and the park was taken by soccer practice and I was headed home and a breeze was going and my dad comes down the road from work and asks why I'm headed home with my plane. I tell him and he tells me to fly it in the greenbelt behind me. I ask him if he's sure he is so I throw it, it takes off and I turn right too get around then the wind picked up and it blew it down toward our cul de sac and I'm running toward it and am trying to get it back over but it keeps stalling from the wind. I'm running down the road and it turns around I let go of the controls and give up it goes speeding toward the ground near our house. I run through the house drop my transmitter and head out toward the backyard to hop the fence to find it. My parents are so confused they ask me what's going on. Where's your plane? What happened? I open the back door and guess what's in the dead center of our backyard. Our yards pretty big though it's like a third of an acre. But I'm not lying the dead center of our yard. I bend over and finally catch my breath of relief and my parents are still confused. I explain. AND MY DAD BREAKS OUT IN LAUGHTER!!!!!! Since then I've never listened to a word he says to me when I'm building or talking about it. One time I believe I told him to shut up. I apologized obviously.
