  • The hardest part is landing. After learning how to fly, it has taken me months to learn how to control my nerves for landing. I am finally getting over that huge learning curve. Flying the actual plane didn't take much, and I was able to fly around from the first day; however, when it was time to land the plane.... BANG!

  • Hey Dave and everybody, your videos are awesome! You recommend buying the Hawk Sky or Wild Hawk, now, right?  Which one should I get? (I'm a complete beginner, but with experience on FMS, and with a controller.).

  • Lol. If my RC car comes towards me it behaves the same as a plane :P

    Still dont know if i want a heli or boat.

  • This is the most helpful for anybody getting started in rc planes. Thank you.

  • a good tip to learn when flying is not "left turn right turn". choose a wing, mark it somehow. think of it as "marked wing up" or "marked wing down".

  • Crash a thousand times and build the mind muscle... the only way to learn.

  • This was a great video. Straight to the point and very easy to understand what you're explaining (like orientation problems). Before watching this video I wasn't convinced to start with a simulator - didn't sound like fun, but you clearly explained how helpful it is. I was also impressed by your suggestion to change a few settings on the plane to test with since often the plane you'll be flying won't be set perfectly. Also suggesting a basic simulator that will be easier to set up. Thanks !!

  • As much as you think you can learn with a sim, ITS THE BEST CHOICE LISTEN TO HIM.

  • Ur video's are real good!! When are u gonna do something in rc again? You aren't much around anymore :p..

  • I'd recommend a sim that shows a beginner safety in starting, handling, and setting up the plane properly with throttle cut, securing the wing, checking the battery before each flight, and many other things an instructor goes over.

    I've seen the sim graduate. He's the guy that sometimes flies with his antenna down for a few hundred feet of the life of his trainer, or stands in the runway, or crashes into his legs, just like on the sim that passes through the person. Duh.
