I have a 6ch .40 size low wing warbird/trainer (the wing config is trainer). Its ready for its maiden. I am a noob, but know basics of rc flight and have watched people on controls. There are no instructors in my area and no clubs nearby. I am able to fly at an abandoned grass airfield. I want to try to fly this plane without crashing. Any tips?[&o]
I'm thinking I should just full throttle liftoff then a quick landing all on upwind.
Your post indicates you have something like a PTS P-51, or maybe the F22 PTS. People are not being nasty, they are trying to help you be successful, when they encourage you to not fly this plane alone. It is suitable for instruction by a skilled teacher.
For self-instruction, a more suitable plane will be necessary. The "Slow Stick" has been mentioned many times, as have other small electrics. I would encourage you to try a simulator, or a 3- or 4-channel RTF high wing electric, rather than the PTS as your first flight. The chances of success are much higher.
Good Luck,
