Thanks for mentioning the ama “insurance” thing. So many are pushing the ama membership as an insurance policy, and it is not. It used to be like the GOA or FPC for RC pilots and would protect our rights but not so much any more.

I was told early in my RC flying that it's not IF you will crash, it's WHEN. Sooner or later, we all crash. I realized I was maturing in the hobby when a crash didn't discourage me from flying more that day.

@userTJ39780 6 месяцев назад

so many of my planes "fall" out of the sky on on approach because they stall out on the final turn. Got to do the base turn very far away and carry speed right up to the landing flare.

LOL i legit put a go pro on my FMS PA-18 1300mm within a week of buying it. I even bought the gopro for the sole purpose of putting it on my plane. Luckily for me I put it under the wing all the way into the fuselage and lined it up with the CG. Didn't even get any counter weights and it flies beautifully. That plane is a beast!

@AerialAcesRC13 6 месяцев назад

Imagine: Teaching yourself to fly with no prior model experience, watches, but never flown with a club, or ANYBODY else for that matter (idk anyone personally that flys ANY RC, all crawl), never knew Sims for RC where a thing. I still have so many questions. Is it considered normal to see a school track as a PERFECT runway when not in use? Do other ppl REALLY fly the park? Am I a bad guy for not using remote ID? Is anything grandfather claused in? Do my planes upset people, or do they enjoy seeing them? I've been really fortunate! Every time someone confronted me, I got legit permission to fly the spot. Ive only totalled a UMX TT by looping a wire and ripped the gear off. And wing stalled on a go-around, and a nose over prop breaker on the HH Cessna 150T, heck of a 2nd plane! Saved awhile. I was lucky and had full size experience really young, I'm positive that helped a large degree. I wonder how many other pilots are like me?? ❤

@Lozzie74 6 месяцев назад

I’d argue you missed the biggest one: EVERYBODY STARTS AT THE BOTTOM. This is especially problematic for qualified full-size pilots. I have seen so many noobs come out for their first day with a high-end aircraft (EDF jet being the worst) and proceed to crash on climb out. They then cite a faulty aircraft because they are a legend. How hard can it be to fly a toy plane? “I’m a qualified commercial pilot!” Good for you, now come and learn on the trainer with our instructor.

@PaulDuffy-tv5qe 6 месяцев назад

@Videolinquency 6 месяцев назад

In full scale we used to say there are two kinds of RG pilots - those wo have landed gear up, and those who will. The same principle is obviously true in RC, so this list is darkly useful to those of us who have not quite completed it yet.

@kyle_mk17 6 месяцев назад

@TailHeavyProductions 6 месяцев назад

@kyle_mk17 Retractable gear. Acronyms can be a pain cuz there’s way too many, especially in full scale.

Thanks once again, for top notch entertaining content. Congrats on mastering Tele-Hover-Master! I hovered my SiG MkII Kadet with OS-50sx on the pipe, but the coolest was really old Italian guy, friend of my Italian instructor named Ray Beanchi in Chelmsford MA field Torque Rolling SiG Seniorita with 3-Chanel(Throttle, Rudder and Elevator only) Hitec radio and controlling it every second for three turns, and doing 4 point rolls with it(or 1/4 Snap Rolls rather). And that is how its done - Snap Rolls and Torque rolls, they said...

Bwaahhaaa at the 3s - 4s 😅 was climbing my old hand me down 2meter hobbyking fpv up for a nice glide down. It looked really neat with the stream of smoke on the steep climb. But, the glide down was shorter than normal. 😅

@Hoomi2 6 месяцев назад

Mistake #13: always blaming something else for the mishaps, instead of admitting and learning from mistakes. "Radio interference! CG shifted! Battery crapped out!" Yeah. That stuff happens, but if we don't admit our dumb-thumb moments or brain-farts, we're doomed to repeat them.

@toolbaggers 6 месяцев назад

"CG shifted! Battery crapped out" are piloting errors that should have been caught during a preflight check. Radio interference could also be a builders mistake too but that problem should show itself on the first few flights.

@Hoomi2 6 месяцев назад

I have had a few instances of velcro failure causing CG shift when the battery slips loose. I've had a battery run out faster than normal, despite no difference in flying style (not sure what caused it), and fortunately, the results weren't bad. I've quit using my Tactic radio out at our flying field, as there is an area at the northwest corner of the pattern where the planes started acting wonky. If it happened with my Spektrum radio as well, I would think it was possibly something I was doing wrong, but it only happens on the Tactic. Not sure if it's interference, or something in the radio itself. Since Horizon took over the Tactic line and has been phasing it out, I've been converting my planes over to Spektrum anyway, and that just added more motivation to do so. Amusingly, the worst case of velcro failure I ever had, was in my FT Simple Scout. I came out of a loop, and the velcro let go, allowing the battery to complete depart the plane. I thought the Scout was done for, since no battery = no control, but she just glided in and touched down just fine. I've added a strap around the battery.

@looneytunes47 3 месяца назад

i run so called 3s only planes on 4s all the time and havent fried a motor or esc yet after 9 years its called proper throttle management and down sizing the prop

@s4dg 6 месяцев назад

breaking control surfaces is built into the human brain. when i got my first plane, my sister grabbed the rudder, immediately breaking off the counterbalance. she was literally a baby, its human instinct, not something you learn.

The best advice I can give: Never ever try to land on the propeller . It will fail .😂😂😂

@Lozzie74 6 месяцев назад

3:15 most noobs don’t know how to check gyro orientation. They check control stick direction with the gyro activated and think this is all they need to do. After all, if the stick moves the control surface the correct way, how can the gyro get it wrong? I’ve seen this happen and the noob defend their actions this exact way. They don’t know what they don’t know.

My pet PEEVE is other INSTRUCTORS that let Students FLY all Willy Nilly. Good Pilots are DISCIPLINED. They put the Airplane where they Want it not where ever it desides to go. i.e. you fly a Pattern till you put it PRECISELY on/ovey the runway the same EVERY SINGLE TIME. Down wind Base and Final/Touch down is exactly the same every time.

a) getting into the hobby b) searching for belonging anywhere inside a fictional "community". there is no "community". c) spending money on RC hardware you never got to fly, instead of sims that just... worked Those would be my top 3. If I had to do it over again, a cheap controller and sims, and that's it. Sink the money saved on RC into 4090 GPU or VR headset instead.
