Default first flight ever.

well today my little yellow bee came in, im kinda glad i ordered such a basic plane cause it wasnt too confusing, vs getting a real thing that i cant figure out. well after it was all charged i went up to the elem. school and launched it out...its fricken awesome. i figured it would be fun, but its wayy more than that. after a 2 crashes in trees (climbed through brambles and such) and one really goofy landing that bounced oddly, i landed a smooth one and thats when the batterys were out. suprisingly those little foam wings took a beating and nothing was really damaged, small chip ima glue back on.

the whole point of this post...just me being completly satisfyed with rc planes, and once i got a job this summer, ama club here i come, and hopefully a more serious plane too.

rc planes are RAD...

Default RE: first flight ever.

glad to hear u had i good time.i allso started with electrics and i think i tryed the yellow bee second after i got frustrated on no how to make simple repairs.now im training with alpha 40 and a alpha 60 trainer.that yellow bee was a good plane and if u havent allready get some spare batterys so u can fly longer and not allways chargeing batterys all the time.when u get ready for glow eng like alpha 40 please get instructer tho.cause somewhere around after the yellow bee i thought i could succesfully fly a alpha 40 with no help.boy was i wrong.finally got the alpha 40 in air after figureing out when u pull down on stick the plane goes up lol.she went up and i just was so stunned that i went in la la land for 10 secs and she came back down head first.fly the heck out of the yellow bee and just have fun.by the way my yellow bee got stolen outa my car.[]

My first plane was electric also, 1982 I think... Few things in RC will ever be a satisfying as that first successful flight!

Congrats to you sir and keep us posted!
