All of the beginner stuff I have found are things like, "how to pick a plane" or "get an instructor."
I want to know how to fly. For example, when I turn and bank the plane, it starts loosing altitude and heading in a curve for the ground. I know why it does this, but what it the maneuver to cope with it?
I'd like to find a website that talks about how to fly.
Thanks
Jim
1) Get a friend to help you.
2) Get one of the started electric RTFs that come with a video and good instrucions. The Aerobird 3 is a good example.
3) Look for books in the hobby store or one of the on-line retailers
4) Get a flight simulator and practice on electronic planes before you get a real one.
That's it. or ask a million questions and use the crash and learn method.
