but... if you're new to RC right thrust may not be your first priority. Others can help guide you in the right direction. You came to the right place

I've been flying and working on planes for about 7months now. First plane I flew was my cousins Dragonfly and thats all it took to get me hooked. I purchased my first plane Virus from NEsail and was very successful with it. Till an unfortunate mishap[&o]

Have fun!

hey squiggy i'm an A&P also except i've been doing it alot longer anyway just like on full scale, rc is the same, everything is as if you're sitting in the plane. Lt and Rt also number 1 through 4 engines,tires, whatever starts on theLt and moves RT as you're sitting in it.
I'd like to say 1 through 4 is fore to aft if in a fore aft arrangement but not all manufactors stick to that rule. the MD90 VFCS is RT on the nose and the Lt side is midway down the fuselage. go figure
welcome to aviation and rc
