That was a great video. How did you get your wife not to wave the camera around and get you sea sick when you rewatch. Very informative . I am a real pilot but just got my second RC plane at 56 years young. The apprentice STS. We wont talk about my first RC. Unfortunately it was before your videos or any internet at all. The video real helped get it together. Now time to go practice at the field with the guys that know what they’re doing. Thanks again.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks for the comment, we're here for guys like you. I find it AMAZING that there's not more just like we do on KZbin, but we just want to get people in the air, and even though you fly FULL scale, you might need some help getting your feet wet in RC - it is a very different experience, right!? ;) thanks for being here! Glad we could help some! When, and as you progress, please don't forget to watch and follow along. We'll help you as much as we can ;)

[@bluecamaross]

I'm interested in HOW you played your cards right!? And does she have a sister?? lol

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

She does, but she's already taken - good luck out there!

[@MT_53]

Hi Brian! I'm just getting into RC flying and am seriously considering either the Apprentice STS 1.5 or the FMS Ranger 1.2 in the RTF format. I've watched your videos relating to these individual planes on your KZbin channel and would really like your recommendation(s) as to which plane you would recommend to learn to fly. Thanks! ~Mike in Atlanta

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

The Ranger is EASIER to setup in the RTF configuration. The Apprentice STS 1.5 might be a slightly better overall flight experience. TOUGH CALL... If you like the 1.2m Ranger, you could then jump into a BNF for the Apprentice, saving a few bucks, and get into a computerized transmitter, like we use all the time, and you'll be miles ahead of the competition ;) bprc.me/Apprentice vs bprc.me/FMS_Ranger Sorry to give you a politician, "non-answer" but there isn't a right and wrong...but very preference driven here. Both are very good choices.

[@MT_53]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for that! I decided to go with the Apprentice. 😁

[@ieserce]

Excellent first hand info 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks!

[@raypreble7947]

I have the E-flight Opterra with SAFE and flies great for another trainer fleet.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Interesting idea. Optera flies great, but I wouldn't ever recommend it as a beginner plane, since it's so easy to make a SMALL mistake, and end up in the OR or ER...or both if you really screw up.

[@outdooradventurer9985]

Any tips on installing nav lights other than taping them? I was considering getting the E-flite - EFL71770 kit. Can you easily run the wires inside the wing, or inside the spar?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

We did a ton of LED installs years ago, and they're still available on our channel. Here's and example...

[@outdooradventurer9985]

@BrianPhillipsRC oh awesome! I was going to just search a little more, you gave me the links!

[@AllWork-NoPlay-WhaddyaSay]

Brian, I LOVE the video, I understand it may be more difficult but with extended videos like this could you consider time stamps for radio setup? Love the videos you always do an exceptional job showcasing each product.

[@robertlathan4639]

8 years ago I worked for granite construction which did road construction in FL I used to do GPS grading and it was only as accurate as how many satellites were over head and with Starlink being the predominant satellite GPS system not much to worry about!!! Yes it is Elon musks GPS but I am not worried!! Love you all and have a blessed day!!! Most of the old GPS are down!! Also why Google maps is more accurate!!!!!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing! Glad you're here with us.

[@cooltube]

Excellent first plane. Best thing I ever bought during covid lockdown!!!!!!!👍🏻🇬🇧

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Glad something good came out of it! :)

[@raypreble7947]

That compartment behind on top can hold GPS

[@raypreble7947]

I never had a problem with a wheel like that, all three wheels were free and clear.

[@chrisfetner332]

How about screw on a new plastic clevis?

[@MammothPaige]

Very Cool

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks! This Apprentice is a great plane, but it's been FOR-EVER since we' played with our older one.

[@HobbySooner]

I'd love to see a video for the Flightline F8F-1 Bearcat. I was disappointed to see that out of the hundreds of videos on this channel there isn't one. I'm going to make it my first tail dragger and I love your unbox, build and radio setup videos.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Sorry, but MotionRC refuses to work with us. Hit them up and remind them that you want to see us review Flightline, Freeewing, and their other offerings. We'd sure love to work with them, and have been trying for the better part of half a decade to get them to start working with us.

[@HobbySooner]

@@BrianPhillipsRC I don't know how much I helped but I sent them a message. Hopefully other subscribers of your channel see this and follow suit

[@eduardoserrano5453]

Where is the radio setup?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

This is a RTF, so there really isn't much to setup. You can also watch another similar plane, that's NOT RTF if you need some help.

[@65Max]

Most feared words for a pilot: "I'm from the FAA & I'm here to help!" But, thanks to the FAA for General and Commercial aviation, they ARE there to help. Think about that when you start flying IFR in IMC. In the case of model aviation, however, you are correct since they chose not to separate fixed wing and helicopters from hobby and commercial "drones" , Those hobby drone idiots really freaked it up for everyone.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Exactly. You hit the nail on the head.

[@AL-RCjunkie]

No flaps or Nav LEDs!?! hehehe... Such a great, informative video. Super entertaining, while I replace the 980mm P40 fuselage- don't ask. All good now, though. Thanks for all the hard work, cramming LOTS of info into these super short videos, guys!! 👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Oh no! I won't ask. ;) You could always add them... we did it on our old S 15e!

[@AL-RCjunkie]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Definitely. And by following one of your instructional videos, it’ll be (not so) quick and easy!! 👍😁👍

[@alvintarrer6914]

Awsome job brother Brain& camera crew 🤙🇺🇸🇨🇱✌️

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks!

[@BobloveshiscatRC]

Imagine still needing a trainer 😂

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Everybody starts somewhere! Most people don't NEED a trainer once they are confident in their flying, but some people like to have a nice easy flight or a good "post crash" pick me up. ;)
