hi,how do u take off run my through how 2 take off step by step............thanks............

depends on the plane....
Zagi? Throw it
Foamy? hover it...

etc. etc.

what does your instructor say??

An instructor is the person that needs to teach you. As an instructor, it sounds like you have very little stick time. You instructor needs to have you concentrate on flying the airplane first (airwork). Take-offs depend on what kind of plane you have - tricycle gear or a taildragger. Taildraggers can groundloop or snap during the takeoff (high departure angles that result in a stall). Do Not TRY this by yourself unless you want to lose the plane. I personally make my students master airwork first, then take-offs and finally landings.

Got to say ditto to all of the above. Get an instructor and let him teach you

Get an instructor to.

Step 1 : Frequency control (don't turn on when somebody else is flying on your channel.)
Step 2 : Safety concerns - radio range check, linkages check, hinges secure, control surfaces move the correct direction, all connections secure, prop secure, no fuel leaks, wheel collars tight, etc.
Step 3 : Learn to fly straight & level, learn to make turns, learn to control the plane when it's coming at you, and learn a little about throttle management and rudder use.
Step 4 : Learn to land.
Step 5 : Learn to take off.

Of course, opinions may vary, but by taking my students through this process, I find they get to fly right away, and their initial investment is preserved - usually long beyond the instruction period.

Best wishes,

it dosn't sound like you really know what you are doing............


The most important thing at this point is to go to a club, AND FIND AN INSTRUCTOR!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT FLY!!!!!

seriously, i didn't believe people when they said to get an instructor, and i killed 3 planes. I got one, and have had 35 minuts on it..........not one crash, OR BAD LANDING!

YOu need to put the plane away and get an instructor. If you don't you'll be sorry.


YOu probably won't pay your instructor, it will become a friendship. I have made 2 great friends, one being my instructor, the other being my instructors student.


please do not fly your plane intill you get help.


what plane do you have?

In both clubs that I have or belong to, instruction is free. If an instructor wants to try to charge you a fee, see if the club has another instructor. The only time I've seen an instructor charge is if a student comes from another club but wants to learn at our club. Instructors should try to establish a scehdule with their students (I like to fly early in the morning with students before the rest of the club shows up). Just don't get ina hurry. Let the instructor figure out when you are ready to progress to the next level. Sometimes, I've had student that were ready to solo in an hour of flight time (the very rare exception), sometimes I've flown with a student for 4 to five hours of flight time prior to solo. Plus the time on teh ground discussing what the instructor wants to happen and then afterwards what went right and what went wrong.

There is a message in the above posts. Perhaps you will take heed and find yourself a qualified instructor and allow him to show you how we all do this, or have learned to do all of this.

Yes, there are some that have done it without an instructor, but I assure you, most, if not all, will say that they wish they had an instructor around. It would have cost them a lot less that way in both frustration and heartache (broken or destroyed aircraft) and joy at learning how to do it the right way.

All great info. I just got done instructing a friend of mine and we buddy boxed for about 2 months before I let him have the sticks on a landing attempt. Because I have so little time to fly as of late, I still have to remind myself to slow down and check evrything and even do a flight at the field in my head to cover emergencies and dead sticks. Remember, fly 3 mistakes high when learning. Good luck to you. Crashing is part of the hobby, so don't think it will stop when you learn how to fly. [8D]

beng an expirenced pilot in the real world, as well as an rc flyer, i know two things, work up to it, start with a sim, and get used to flying, and make sure that your landings and takeoffs are smooth as silk, then get a small electric, get used to having to deal with real world environments, then step up to a trainer, but it is always a good idea to have an instructor, or highly expirenced rc pilot either watching, or helping you. BEfore you know it, you will be a good pilot.

since the original poster never came back.....I can only believe this was a troll....or someone looking for their own specific answer

JAM THE THROTTLE FORWARD AND PULL THE STICK BACK!

and be sure to keep your eyes closed! haha! :O

you forgot yell duck and take cover....

i aint stoooooopid i have the best flyer at my club teachin me i just wontid to no be4 he told me 2 l8 now lol

let's see:

Left stick forward
Right stick back
Keep the wings level

You're flyin'!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depends on the set up of the plane, the type of wing, and the wing loading. Most of my planes only require that you hold a little up elevator to keep it from nosing in, throttle up to full and steer it straight down the runway. When it reaches flying speed it will lift off by itself and start climbing. Then just switch from steering with the left stick (rudder) to steering with the right stick (ailerons). when the plane has reached a good altitude make your first turn away from you and fly the circuit. At this point you will probably want to throttle to 1/2 or so for a more reasonable flying speed. Some of my planes "stick" to the ground. For take off on these planes, I throttle up to start the take off run and when the plane has reached good speed which is about 2/3 of the way down the runway I have to start adding in up elevator to get the plane to take off. Does this sound like the info you were lookinf for??[8D]

Choose a big wide open space (a huge piece of farm land is always the best choice) and search for a small stroke of short grass to use as a place to take of and land your plane.

Next:

- Range check (check if your radio has no interference)
- Check all surfaces (make sure everything is working as it should)
- fill the gas tank
- start your plane
- push throttle all the way to 100 % while holding the plane, pik it up and hold it in several positions (to check if the engine won't die on you if you're in the air)
- get a grip on yourself and realise what you're about to do ... (best to get some simulator time before you go on your own)
- push throttle back to 100 %, keep the nose and tail of the plane on a staight line as your plane will start speeding up over the runway, when fast enough, pull back on the elevator and watch your plane go in the air.
- enjoy ...

HOWEVER, if this is your first flight on your first plane, even on any plane, the first flight is a trim flight. Meaning that the chanse is that your plane will spin as soon as it gets in the air, because of a minor building default. Now an experienced pilot wouldn't have that big a problem with this, but YOU WILL (that's how I lost my plane)


so just get an instructor, unless you're a narutal offcourse

lol
