On today's show we;re doing some landing practice and touch and goes with the E-Flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select. I've modified mine with OLEO spring type landing gear . Thanks for watching .
As great as the RC Planes are there's something so cool about the little cars and trucks as well. Great landings & takeoffs. Always a fun time to have. Have a great day sir.
Thanks Jeff , Had fun doing landing ops .Good idea trying to hit a mark . Maybe Ill bring out a cone or something next time . I did notice I was making lower and lower attempts and getting slower each time with the practice . .
Hi Philip! You make it look so easy! Question for you... my g-daughter (18 mos) is absolutely captivated by helicopters... and trucks and tractors and planes, but especially helicopters. I'm thinking of getting a remote controlled one. As a total novice, is there a brand you would recommend - or something I should absolutely stay away from? Or, is this a crazy-bad idea? Blessings. HAPPY flying!
Hi May . Thanks for your question . Its great shes showing interest . That's a little to young to comprehend the controls of a RC unfortunately. There are several flying toys and small drones that are very affordable, with obstacle avoidance and auto hovering , that YOU could fly with her maybe ?? There's also quite a large number of ' Toy" helicopters on Amazon that have various levels of operation like lights and sounds ect . This one comes up as rated one of the best . But there's many options . I hope this helps and you find something she likes , www.dickietoys.com/dickie_en/categories/toy-vehicles/helicopters-aeroplanes/ambulance-helicopter-203716024-en.html
@@PhilipCockram Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. Yes, you are absolutely right - she is a tad young to handle the controls herself. I should have been more clear. Not sure I'll be much better lol. Will DEF take a look at your recommendation(s). Best.
@@mayb.wright509 You're welcome . I love to help . There's a ton of very low cost RC helicopters on the market . Most have a dual blade counter rotating heads design , are very stable and come with everything you need . The drones and or quadcopter types are typically easier to fly and a bit safer , especially if they have enclosed blades , but both have many automated features now . Including proximity sensors . I'd recommend searching at a $30 price point . You'd be surprised what's available and go with one that has the best reviews . I can't attest to any of these models , but its an example of just how affordable they've become www.banggood.com/Wholesale-RC-Helicopter-ca-7003.html?bid=2107010101&from=nav
@@PhilipCockram Thank you SO MUCH for your advice. wOw. I had no idea of the variety and price point! You reminded me of a local toy store (small town) that carries different stuff, including DickieToys RCs. I will see what they have, and if not, order off the site you recommended. Thanks again so very much. ☺
@@mayb.wright509 Yeah the technology and performance have come a long way . Shopping local is always prefered and I'm sure they have some great stuff . We lost our local hobby shop and guitar store during recent events and I doubt we'll ever see them come back . Best of luck
Great flying Philip and landing and the e-flite t-28 runs good on cut grass just released a video of me repairing club member t-28 did real good on take off and landing grass offs. another good video 😊👍👍👍
@@SlowFlyer85 Thank you Sir . I have an old T-28 (my first real plane} It needs a mount and new cowl , but could fly again just fine . Was hoping to gift it to a friend when parts were handy .
