Default First flight

At last i made my entry into rc plane flight, they sure are different to rc helli's.. the first thing i noticed is they need alot more sky, the second is they don't stop in front of your face lol
But i finally see what all the fuss is about, THEY ARE FU@#ING AWESOME!!

Just give a little bit of time, and once you start flying 3D you'll be able to get it to hover around just like a helicopter.

That plane is not slow at all. It glides good but you have to fly it a 1/2 stick and then it will slow down. I see your input as being too fast. Also fly it higher you will have more time to react. Good flying non the less.

Hey cleared2engage,

Haha hover sounds good to me, just waiting for the 5030 props, i also ordered some more stock props and some micro p-51 props, just want to get a feel for myself which prop works for me )

Hey ccameselle, yes i think it flew real nice too, fantastic little plane for learning!
My stick inputs were VERY fast lol quite a handfull trying to trim it while flying first time, and as this plane is tiny i would not fancy geetting to high as i live on a mountain side so one strong gust and bye bye sukhoi!
Next on my list is the Radian from parkzone, a sweet glider that will fit right in here on the mountain ) well at least for a few seconds on it's maiden lol
