Thank you for watching. I claim what happened, as this was my fourth or fifth time flying an RC plane, and it remains the only plane I've flown. I'll take your suspicion that I'd choose to lie about this, for some reason, as a compliment on my ability.

Hey, and thanks for watching. If I ever make another RC plane video, I will include a segment on that. Long story short, I used a command strip to attach the camera and duct tape. I placed the camera on the top of the plane, at its center of gravity. There are markers beneath the wings and the plane's center of gravity between them.

This plane likes to float and doesn't want to come down. So you can glide it and get some good flight time out of it, by not having to use the throttle. You can make the battery last for awhile by using throttle management.

I did confirm the center of gravity after attaching the GoPro to the plane using some marks under the wings. However, I checked the center of gravity beforehand and simply attached the GoPro right above it. It was heavier, of course, but it flew fine! Thanks for watching.

Hey, thanks for watching. With the beginner rig, it was challenging to keep everything sturdy enough to prevent creaking and other sounds. Those sounds are no longer a problem with the newer equipment. I had the beginner rig for about two years before upgrading, and it served me well. For casual enjoyment of sim racing, it is perfectly fine. The upgraded rig does provide a significant improvement in terms of force feedback and the overall fidelity of the simulation. It is a noticeable difference, and I think the upgrades are worth it. However, it depends on how much you enjoy sim racing, as the higher-end sim racing stuff does get expensive.

Thank you! It's a great car! That gas mileage, though, haha. I hope you keep enjoying it.

Thank you for watching, and I appreciate the positive feedback!

Thank you! It's a GoPro Hero7 that I attached with a command strip and some duct tape.

Thank you! I appreciate your comment. This was my most time-consuming video, and it's nice to know that some have gotten entertainment from my content. Good luck to you too!

I agree! Thank you very much! All the best to you too.

I hope so, too! I've just been creatively drawn to other interests and hobbies lately. But I had a lot of fun making these and engaging with people who enjoyed my content. We'll see what the future holds. I want to try streaming at least once.

Thanks for the tip. It is an LG OLED TV, 55in. I forgot to switch the TV into the correct mode for this video, but when it is in "GAME" mode, it has a pretty low latency and 120Hz refresh rate. Not perfect, but it does the job for the time being.

I did end up getting a load cell! I believe the video where I got my PC is the first time I showed it-a vast improvement.

@@justinsdaysoff nice

I'm at or close to full throttle when hand launching. I hand launch the plane from a hilltop, so I have some leeway if the plane descends, but high throttle tends to ensure the plane ascends. You'll want to be able to get both hands on the controls as soon as you can, so I hold the transmitter in my non-throwing hand. I throw the plane like an American football, trying to position my throwing hand below the plane's center of gravity or close enough to where it feels balanced.

@@justinsdaysoff great!! Thank you!!👍🏼

Thank you for this tip. I will try turning the tire sounds up and keep an ear out for when it sounds like I'm pushing the tires too hard. I continue struggling with oversteering (probably my biggest issue), so I think your advice will help me out. Appreciate it! I often push the car too hard, knowing that's not where consistently fast lap times come from, but it's a hard habit to kick.

For sure, and they honestly would be a good idea, given where I fly! I've improved my landing a lot. It was all about learning to drop more speed before touching down. Thanks for checking out the video.

That's awesome I'm glad you liked the video! How was the maiden flight?

It's called Absolute RC Simulator. It is a very basic application, but is good for learning the basics of flying from a fixed position. Thanks for watching.

Hey, thanks for watching. I quickly practiced before my flight using a simple smartphone application called Absolute RC Simulator. It's not a high-end simulator, but it provides a viable way to get used to flying an RC plane from a fixed position.

She's the best :)!

Haha she was on my lap when I read your comment. She's my favorite :). Thanks for watching.

Hey, thanks for checking out the video. That G29 is a great introduction and step up from a controller, but yes, it has a lot of shortfalls in terms of immersion. It treated me well for years, though :). I hope you're enjoying the load cell pedal. I also made some significant upgrades, and the pedals made all the difference in immersion, lap times, etc. Anyways, have a great day.

when i bought the RTF it was $220 so it’s dropped a lot

Hey, thanks for watching. Yes, this is about what I paid as well. The Spektrum batteries themselves, while informative and reliable, also come with a high price tag :(. I ended up buying a second battery to double my flying time. I think it is still a great beginner plane if you're willing to pay the price. Have a great day.

Nice! Yea, I used that setup for a long time, and it was fine. Great minds think alike I guess ha :). Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm glad you liked the video, and I hope you enjoy the plane! Thanks again.

I use the Spektrum-based equipment that comes with the RTF package, and with the GoPro will get about 8 minutes of flight time. Thanks for checking out the video.

Hey, thanks for the tip! That's good advice. What has helped me is to recognize that the plane can fly and maintain altitude at very low speeds. So I try to get the aircraft nice and slow, almost gliding, before touching down. Appreciate you checking out the video.

Hello, and thanks for watching. I can't reccommend a specific servo. I had the exact same problem, however (broke a servo on a rough landing) and was able to find some in stock online and replace the servo rather easily. I haven't had any issues with them since.

Though you're pretty blunt in your opinions, I appreciate the criticism. My ideal scenario when making these videos is to narrate live as I drive, but it often proves too difficult as it's just something I haven't practiced much. I make these videos for fun, I'm new to it, and there's a learning curve. Rather than scrap a whole vid, I'll record a voiceover in post. My intention is not to trick people into thinking it's live commentary; otherwise, I wouldn't include the camera angle on my face while driving. Anyways, have a good day, and thanks for the comment. Hopefully, if KZbin recommends me to you in the future, it'll be something you find worthwhile.

@@justinsdaysoff : )

Thank you very much - I'm glad you liked the video! Have a great day.

Thank you for checking out my video, for the kind words, and for subscribing. It was tough to edit those comparisons ha, but I'm happy with how they turned out. Hopefully, I will be able to make some videos in the future that you will enjoy. Have a great day.

Thank you very much for the kind words and for checking out my video; this was one of my more time-consuming video projects, so it does mean something to me. I'm looking forward to trying iRacing, VR, etc., and making more videos on those in the future. If you're a bit jealous of my '18, then I'm a bit jealous you got your RS new. I bought mine with 27,000 miles (about 43,000 kilometers) on it. And with a car like this, you never know how much the previous owner was throwing it around. It has some minor cosmetic damages here and there, but I didn't buy it to keep it like new. I was thrilled to find it. At least in the U.S., the 2018 red editions were pretty limited, plus this one had the sunroof, too. So I jumped on it, and it has been a great car. I'm sure the LSD adds some handling, but from what I've read, all models of the RS handle amazingly with or without that addition. As far as GT7 goes, I don't play much anymore. It's a great game, but as soon as I got my PC and ACC, I found that game style more enjoyable, especially since I do not have a PS5, so I have to deal with long load times in GT7. Anywaysm, thanks again for taking the time to comment with some kind words. I hope you have a great day and enjoy your RS.

Hey, thanks for checking out my video. I use the Fanatec recommended settings for the game, but I put the gain at 80. You can find those settings and settings for other wheels just by Googling "Assetto Corsa Competizione (PC) - Fanatec Recommended Settings." It should be the first search result and be in a Fanatec forum.
