Sounds like that was one heck of a crash with the Apprentice, luckily they are pretty easy to repair 😅 Flying in the wind is very tricky, I learned that in my last video and almost crashed my new P47 1.2m in its maiden flight lol keep the plane videos coming! 🤙🍻
I got the carbon Cub S2, on my first flight with some wind I also had a real hard time getting it down, even with no throttle the plane wouldn't want to come down. After several loops if finally did but very gradually. Cool video and comparison.
If you connect the Carbon Cub S2 flaps - see manual (everything you need is in the kit and flap switch above the left stick on the stock transmitter) the plane can fly, take off, and land much slower. The flaps have two settings. It took me a bit to believe that works since it says it uses a 4-channel transmitter but it turns out to be 4 channels plus the flap switch.
The Apprentice is the easiest to fly RC plane that i have ever flown. Tons of fun, behaves like a Cessna. The Cub is a lot of fun, but all the control surfaces are too slow, or don't have enough travel to fully control the aircraft. I went and manually increased the travel distances by drilling new holes on the control arms. Now I am MUCH happier with the Carbon Cub,
Yeah, the apprentice is just a really fun plane to fly, but yes, the cub I’m still getting really comfortable with it and I guess I don’t notice that just yet
did you say you were a drone pilot before the trucks... If so, are the planes as fun as a drone. I keep thinking of getting one. I'm a drone pilot myself and the drone seems to be faster, crazy maneuvers. But the planes seem to be more careful with. What are your thoughts between the 2 air born RC''s?
I wouldn’t say I was a drone pilot I’ve flown drones quite a bit but flying planes is definitely more challenging but a ton of fun and you can make it a very fun relaxing thing or you can go out there and do tricks and have a blast
