Firebirdxl
Bought a trainer the other week. Firebirdxl. It's electric with a 2ch radio. Looking for some tips on getting it into the air. The times when I was able to take it out was kind of windy and had a bad experience. I was able to take off from a rolling start. It climbed and I was able to get it turned around. Unfortunately I think the wind got under it and took it out of my control. However i was lucky and it glided itself down in a near by field. No visual damage. Still feeling kind of leary I took it out again the next day. Not as windy but still some. Did a hand launch and was able to keep it in site. Until it landed. I guess I am looking for some beginner flying tips. From a rolling start how high should I let it get before I back off the throttle? When it's flying away from me the left and right turns are easy. Is there a little trick for left and right turns when it's flying toward me? I'm new at this and I'm pretty sure I'll have other questions as I advance. Thanks in advance for any help that may be offered.
