This is a video of my good friend Mike and his FIRST RC SOLO. Yes, I captured it on video and this is his RC flight. He and I were friends a long time ago when a gigabyte was unheard of and we ran a "BBS" bulletin board system, and the internet was just beginning. Since then, we grew apart, but over 10 years later we met in a restaurant and find out we only live 4 miles apart now.

A great new friendship was made again. What a coincidence?

Mike just got an RC plane and he and I are ripping up the broadband again, but with a twist.

Enjoy this video and look forward to more.

Thanks,

Eric

@roberttreboranita thanks

Now try a nitro......that's when the real flying begins. I'd recommend a buddy box system, though.

[joehandsome99]

@haljohn2814 good idea. Thanks for watching.

I had the original Firebird as a first rc plane, but mine literally flew away. Must have got caught in a thermal or something.

[joehandsome99]

They are fun to fly. Thanks for watching.

This vid should be required viewing for all beginners. it shows how you don't have to be scared that your gonna crash and break your plane. if you begin with the right model you will have no problems.

before you know it $10.000 on a gas turbine

i bought a super cub dsm 2 days ago, it took me 1.5 hours to assemble and 10 hours to crash. left the lipo battery in the plane overnight and drained the battery, now i need a new one. they should make these things idiot proof

[MrNICHOLASSTONE]
