The first video for beginners, that shows how the stick movements affect the plane direction and speed. Excellent.
THIS IS the best video in the world for RC fixed-wing begginers. Glad I found it before wrecking even more planes. Thank you A LOT
I'm here to chew bubble gum and crash some planes.. and I'm all outta gum
totally agree, i think this is going to help me a lot
@@privateagent man im all outta planes :/
Well I crush my helicopter
I’m so over repeatedly crashing 3-400$ planes. That’s why I’m here. Agree this video is great. I have confidence in a much better experience on next flight.
One tip that helped me was whenever the plane is coming toward me and a wing tips down, nudge the stick in that direction and the wings will level out.
Absolutely - I learned that in the 70s as kid - definately dont do the turn body thing. Dad learned that way and was never any good.
What? Give power?
Or aeleron
Really like this guy as trainer, calm voice, explains succinctly, trains in small increments. Will definitely be watching more of his videos !
Finally,, someone who speaks clearly and concise,, look forward to your next lessons !
You are a very fine instructor. Teaching seems natural for you. Keep up the great work.
Great training video. Been out of RC flying by 25 years, and helped me to get back into the memory lane.
I’m looking to get into this hobby and have watched quite a few videos about first timers. This is the best advice/video I’ve seen so far. I like the way you come at it with little baby steps. Just left turns then just right turns, up /down but only in a straight line. I feel I could watch your video a few times and be confident enough to give it a go!!!! Although I’m about to buy RF9.5 first.

Great video. I started late in life and I'm 12 years into the sport. I suppose I will always be a student of aviation. I gain a bit of insight from watching your videos. Well Done Sir.
I always remember/use...when arcraft is flying towards you move alieron stick to the low side wing to level... Been in the hobby now for approx 35 yrs...!! ✈✈
I bought this plane again. I can’t believe that they are still making it 20 years later. Watched this video 7 times and going to watch it 10 more times before my plane arrives
did you fly yet? did you succeed?
Thank you so much for the excellent training video. I tried to get started about 15 years ago and never was able to follow through. Work and other issues got in the way. I am now retired and trying to get my old equipment set up and will be following your videos closely. I think this will be fun.
how’s it going?
Thank you for a great video. I just acquired a couple old planes and haven’t flown since I was a kid. Then, my transmitter only had 2 buttons for left and right. So this video really helped me understand controls better for sure. My transmitters now have many options.
Thanks again!
I own this plane for about 5 years.over shot runway pulled into a tree .got a sling shot a heavy sinker and a fishing reel. Anyway finally got it out of a tall tall tree lol.just a good size indintion from the weight.guess I'll try again you make it look easy.except the 2 other times I flew it I had to point nose down.ill try moving battery forward a bit.thanks
What a great easy to understand video.This is perfect for a total novice.Well done and thanks!!
Wow i just had my 1st succesfull flight after waching your vid. After many crashes I nearly gave up. then i started practicing on a plane app. Thanks so much
Wow, this helped me so much. Just getting in to rc planes and this answered questions.
same here
Thank you so much for this video. It is absolutely perfectly explained and is still helping me. Keep coming back to it.
Thanks for the easy to learn video. Just got sport cub s 2. Want to go fly right away but I’m taking my time watching videos & playing flying sims with 4 channel.
Thank you...I'm new to RC planes other than watching them at some air shows or videos. What you just did was open my eyes to smaller moves is better than radical moves. I was in my way when it came to take off and landings as well as banking . The way you showed what should happen on the controller really hit home. Thank you... I really needed to see this before I bought my 1st plane. I'll keep watching for old and new vids. Thanks again
Gerald, im.in NEBRASKA thinking of getting a RC PLANE SHOULD I GET THE CONTROLLER FIRST WITH SIMULATOR, AN WILL CONTROLLER CONTINUE TO WORK WITH ANY PLANE I GET
@@COURTNEYCOLE1000 Hi and thanks for asking me for insight on this. From my experience it is better to get the simulator and get your eyes trained a bit before you buy the actual transmitter and plane. And as he showed... your controller should be based off of how many parts you need to move....elevators, flaps, retractable wheels...RTH(return to home) feature. Then you can see where your at dollar wise on the plane. The guy I also follow is RC Sailor. He and his wife do really good write ups on budget planes and what you can expect when you get the controller as well as the RC. I hope this helps. Have a great one
@@geraldfer ,,thank u,,im looking at the Apprentice STS 'from Horizon Hobby,yes, id like a simulator controller that can be used on the plane i buy,,thank you Gerald I have a Facebook, look me up,,so we can chat,,be bless
This is great I retired to a foreign country and took up rc flying I joined a club but most of the members aren't fluent in English so it gard for me to.learn from them .
It's build crash repair fly crash repair .just managed to get a simulator and practice on that .hope my flying improves
Thank you so much for your video, I just wish I watch this before my first fly with the cub s2 and having the plane running away, never found that thing je jee
As a general aviation pilot. A fact, the plane flies itself. Let it do what it do. You only have to stay ahead and change the direction you want to go. Same goes with RC’s lol. Good luck!
This is a very good trainer video. One thing my trainer taught that made flying too myself was correct by moving the stick to the low wing tip.
Looking to maybe get a plane so looked up training videos and your video is absolutely great and great explanations. 👍
Excellent video. Clear and concise. Now I am off to try it!!
Eines der Besten Flugvideos, super erklärt 1000 Dank, Grüße aus Deutschland
Clear easy instructions, with practical tips narrated in an easy attitude 👌.
I wanted to see what "bigginer" videos were like compared to when I started out. Facing in the general direction of the plane's flight, is a great way of syncing your perceived orientation to how the plane is flying. Especially when it's approaching. Helped me wire my brain to flying naturally. Any recommendations on good current rc plane sims?
I'm new to the hobby. I'm glad that I found this video and channel. I'm so glad that I waited for my adapter and software before trying to fly. Just got everything setup on my computer today and have spent maybe 15 minutes on Phoenix. I'm loving it. I wrecked probably 5 times in first 2 minutes. I'm glad I decided to invest in a simulator. There really isn't any rc groups local to me where I'm located in Ohio. Are you still making videos? From what I can see you haven't made any new videos in over a year.
Grate tip with the rotation on orientation I understand
I loved this video. You're ally do a good job on the teaching. I don't have a computer so.i.cant train like you have. I never had an rc plane before so I'm very excited. I hope when I feel comfortable to try and fly it well without crashing. I'm scared to crash and break anything.. thank you and I'll be looking to watch more from you.
Robbie m
have you flown yet? did you succeed?
when plane is coming at you to lift either wing send the stick in the same direction as the wing that's dipping to lift it ..so in summary if wing is down to left move stick to left to lift it and vice versa..helped me out alot
Wow, My best friend, Thank you for your hard work in making the video. I enjoyed the good video. Have a happy day.
LOVE THE VIDEO. CAN WAIT TO SEE MORE ON LANDING AND FLYING IN A CONTROLLED MANNER
I have already have some experience with it but anyway very good and concise explanation! Congrats!
Very well done! Just getting started and this helps. Thanks!!
An excellent first-time video!
Good idea of turning body some to get a better perspective.
Awesome. I just got a trainer as a gift and I am excited to fly it. I’m hoping to not destroy it the first time out so your simulator suggestion is right on.
Great video! I intend to watch with my son as we're getting into the hobby together. Can you provide a link to the next two or three videos you recommend in the progression? Thanks for the great insight and info.
Oh ! Best one for biggners. Thanks for the upload
Thanks. I am nervous. Just got my first rc plane. Very good info.
This guy nailed it learn so much thanks brother
Excellent, just what I needed. Hope its not raining on the weekend!
I’ve set myself a 2019 winter target of learning to fly on a sim, then go to RC gliders next season. How are you moving the virtual controls in this vid? Keyboard or physical joystick? My pc is Mac OSX. Any advice on which software is good, and what else I should add? Much appreciated.
Nice instruction!
Excellent video!
Nice. I think I will try the software before sending the real thing. Thanks for the good advice!
Awesome tutorial.
great job teaching thank you really like your videos
Great! well done.
Nice video
Really appreciate that-glad I found it.many thanks.
This is so cool i,ve always wanted an RC plane,this video taught me alot.
I been flying pheonix for a few weeks now, i am pretty good already, i only have flown a quad copter in real life the dromida xtreme flight, it's fast and fun, i have a koysho concept 30 vintage helicopter i am building and i have a seagull harrier 3d plane my friend is selling me soon, i bought the xk a430 plane for my first time to fly in real life, i have messed with it just to see the movements before i fly and i noticed down elevator doesn't move much in safe mode so i was afraid having a hard time landing now you explained letting off throttle to bring the nose down i feel more confident thank you!
get a bixler
@@privateagent i would get an easy glider
@@edomen the easy glider has a frontal propeller which is not recommended for a beginner.
Very nice explanation
Great... you make it look so simple ill be trying soon thank you
This is the best rc learning video
Great video man. Thank you! Not at all foreign to RC, but not at all familiar with planes. Doing the 3d printed plane thing right now. It's fun building it, but man there is a pile of time in it. I'd rather not wreck it first time out.
Amazing video, I definitely needed to do this before I got a trainer that I crashed. I will be looking for some simulator programs.
Thanks for the video
Excellent video, this was very helpful....
Thanks for the video. I came here looking for a basic tutorial for beginners on what all the sticks do in relation to plane movement. I was hoping for something extremely basic like what direction to move aileron sticks for turns so I had to carefully watch what the plane was doing in relationship to the sticks. What I surmise, is right hand turns are simply accomplished through moving right aileron stick to right, and left for left turns. Do you have a video that goes through these even more basic concepts?
Awesome tutorial!
Very good
Nice video well illerstrated
Cool man , makes me want to get one now
Such a good video
Wow, 😊 thanks
Happy days thanks 😊
I had Phoenix but I may get Real Flight. Phoenix isn't supported anymore and likely because it uses a real transmitter. It was a real battery hog. I'd rather have a controller powered by USB even if it's not an actual controller. Great suggestions on using a simulator. I spent a lot of time on mine before I bought my plane and it saved me a lot of time spent repairing planes.
Nice tutorial
Very good and funny videos bring a great sense of entertainment!
Really good advice on being calm and relaxed. Flying for 35 years and am a good rc pilot but if I have a long layoff I forget for a small time. Then back to normal smooth flights. THANKS.
Thanks for the video.. So after significant quadcopter and drone experience (four channel of course) I got my first plane - a Volantex Sport Cub 500 4 channel. I've been watching youtube videos like crazy and trying out RF9 simulator and am confused about one thing - rudder. With quadcopters and drone, you use a combination of aileron and rudder in the same stick direction to complete tight turns. With RC planes, most videos (and even RF9 lessons) say beginners should not touch the rudder for turns and only use aileron with a bump of down elevator to maintain altitude, but folks on forums say it is mistake to not learn to use the rudder. Why? Is it easier for a beginner to complete turns with only aileron alone? Is the ideal way to use a combination of aileron and rudder in the same stick directions like I do with my quadcopters and drones? Do more advanced RC pilots complete turns with combined aileron and rudder? It would not be a stretch at all for me to do turns Thanks for any input!
Keep them coming sir, thanks!
awsome vidio for beginners
NICE
As a beginner I learned over controlling what's the biggest cause of a crash
I have my students start out by flying figure eights over the field, making their turns away from the pit area. This gets them used to making both left and right turns plus they won't accidentally fly over the pit area if they can't finish the turn before crossing over the runway. Also, when the plane is flying toward them, I don't have them look over their shoulder. I have them face the plane, move the aileron stick toward the low wingtip and say, "Get up wingtip". This method also works when the wings are level. Just move the stick toward the tip that you want to raise. It also will work later on when they're flying inverted toward themselves. I don't really think left or right when flying toward myself.
Great.. Thanks, im flying great on simulator.. Im just a cautious nervous nitro flyer.. Lol so i dont have my solo yet.. But hopefully soon.. Thanks for the advice.
did you succeed flying?
Hello Andrew, I'm looking forward to your next series of videos, have you posted them yet?
This is really, really helpful. Very clear and concise. Is that just regular view settings, no auto zoom etc? Thanks!
Excellent training video. You rock.
Excellent basic flight trainings RC Sims will save your plane practice makes it so much easier when you finally go to the field to fly your RC planes please start with a trainer.
As plane begins to face you upon turn completion, one wing is nearer to ground or lower, push aileron stick to low side wing to level wings.
Yes up to real flight 8 . I use real flight 8 and it's helped me so much.
Great vids.
Thanks
PS. Love the Lessons. Thanks.
7:48 helps me a lot, :-)
Is there a certain brand of controller that you can plug into the computer to get used to the stick's?
I’ve been flying champ for 20 min so far I’m getting better now I can keep the plane up now longer and your right smaller movements and relaxed is the key do you think the Trojan is the next one up
Great video. I have the same plane. Do you have a video on balancing the plane, checking trim and linking the transmitter to the plane?
Just bought a 6=channel tx-rx-servo. I haven't built a plane yet, but set up servos on desktop (really beginner level!). I wanted rudder-elevator on right stick (pull back for "up"), ailerons on left stick, throttle (pull back or push forward, haven't decided yet) on left stick. Realizing I might have to replan this layout, is it an OK format? With peddles on the floor and push-pull , turn left and right steering wheel (in a real plane), which is rudder?, ailerons? I'll quit for now! I'll check for more of your videos. Thanks, tw
I really enjoy your videos about learning how to fly and do different things related to flying but effective July 1st CZcams started inserting 2 or more advertisements into your videos which screws up the entire videos. Could you look into getting them stopped. These disrupt viewing and trying to see what you are trying to show and teach. Thank you
Hey bud Im just getting back into flying after 25 years so I bought the apprentice sts and its really cool and easy plane to fly. I cant seem to find a sim for my iMac..most are for windows only. I know real flight from horizon is only windows what do you recommend for iMac???
Now following your videos, thanks so much , really going to follow along thanks for your time , and I’ll try and repay you with a sub , a comment and play the video lots 🙏
This is good, but remember y’all, knowing and doing are two completely different things! You’ll never master it if you don’t fly the real thing! Get out there and fly!
Thank you I’m new too the Rc Plane World . This is my first plane so I’m kind of excited but nervous . What type of plane that you recommend?
The best way to learn is in real life for several reasons. 1. It teaches you how to work with the plane, put it together, install the battery, what battery to use, etc. 2. It is easier to see how far away the plane is. 3. It teaches you how to fix the plane when you crash.
