Your right that thread is probably not going anywhere because of an abundance of smart comments but there were some useful comments and I got what I needed out of the post so thanks. And I don't think im better than everyone else Im just confident in my abilities. To say I can't fly a plane is saying your all better than me................

And to SCAR I notice your from peoria illinois! Well Im from metamora! Where do you Fly? Maybe there are some good clubs somewhere around here. (I know my thing says im from kentucky but I dont know what thats all about.

AGExpert: If I had the cash for all that stuff I would most definatly bring a camera to proof you wrong. Who taught the wright brothers to fly?

REDFOX:Once I will most likely go with one of these trainer packs the alpha 40 since it seems to be cheap or possibly the p51 since it looks to be a real nice plane. But I would be sure to post back and let you know what happens. Maybe those other people were succesful and felt no obligation to your comments.


1.I figure the plane will come with directions, I have previously assembled model cars and an RC car from nothing

2.Make sure all the plane parts are secure(landing gear etc.) Check the radio from the maximum distance you will be flying. For example have a buddy stand with the plane at the take of site and make sure it responds to all controls while im at the end of the field.

3.I actually saw this performed on that diy channel a while back but cant remember exactly. I think it was make sure you turn the radio off. I figured there would be instructions with the glow plug or whatever you call it.

4.No clue, definatly need help with that one.

5.Well if this is the same type of stall as with real airplanes you just make sure your not taking off at to high of an angle, if you do stall DO NOT pull back on the stick but do lower the nose.

6 and 7.Dont know what a pattern is but id figure its your starting point and the path you plan to fly. Keeping a consistant altitude is all about your elevator controls in relation to throttle

8.A loop? Is this a big circle turn I dont know if it is its just a matter of using your ailierons.

9.Spin? My guess would be to kill the throttle and bank hard while maintaing elevation controls. Sounds difficult.

10.I explained stalls previously but if you mean engine failure I guess I would try to glide down and land hopefully being close to a runway. If you mean taking to steep of an angle you could just do a full flip backwards or forwards depending on the situation

11.Make sure your gear are down! Line up with the runway, Lower throttle and lower altitude. Might want to kill the engine just before touchdown.

12.Not Sure
