Yeah, man that's small. When I was about 12 yrs old, I was grounded to my room for a while. I wanted to be able to fly my plane, but you can't fly a Piper Tripacer with a 53.24" wingspan in a BEDROOM. SO, I designed a MINI BI-PLANE, and used some of my scrap Balsa wood to build it. I made it a 3"inch wingspan, and fuselage about 3.25 length. I made it a MINI GLIDER, I used a brad nail for nose weight. It could do a loop, and glide. Flying it in my bedroom. Ha. Ha. Yes it was cool.

I love all you guys at flitetest, what you do is amazing, trying to introduce RC flying to the community, and the plans you guys have are great, I love anything RC and would love to get into this hobby but no way can I afford it. keep going guys, don't stop doing what you love!
@iampapahomer38658 жыл бұрын
Luke Rosevear they have free plans on their website and they use dollar tree foam board and hot glue. you can build a plane for a few bucks! the electronics can get pricey but look for used stuff in your area or try hobbyking.com. it is not cheap but it is not as expensive as most people think.

That sounds really good, I might start flight RC but what goes up must come down. lol, ill start off with a simulator. :)
@iampapahomer38658 жыл бұрын
Luke Rosevear crashes happen and thats ok. learn from it, rebuild and try again. rc simulators are alot of fun. practice, have fun, crash and hit the reset button and youre ready to go again.

@mrmurphy17211 жыл бұрын
Sorry but the Hobbyzone Duet is the winner here. I have priced the night vapor. The cheapest vapor is still $30 more than the Duet. The Duet is truly RTF. Everything you need to fly within 30 mins of purchase(time to charge battery) is in the box. It flies in a field or in a yard. It will even carry a small camera. Durability is also amazing. If it does break, it can be fixed with gorilla glue. I keep expecting to have to buy a new plane every time I crash and the darn thing just won't die. Moreover the Duet is very very easy to fly. It helps build confidence in new pilots regardless of their age and that in turn leads to success and a more enjoyable experience and increases the chance that the hobby will grow. I have nothing against the other planes on the list. They're all fine, but the Duet is just everything in a perfect little package. Also it looks good and tracks like its on rails.

I recently bought a hobbyzone duet and it flies surprisingly well! Here in Spain we're having a lot of wind lately, but that's not a problem for the duet. You can even glide with it because its engines will make it turn even with no throttle. I would totally recommend it.

I recently bought a hobbyzone duet and it flies pretty well even with strong wind! Of course it's gonna break if you crash it, but it's easy to fly. It's a nice begginer for a very low price, but dont expect it to survive hard crashes.

Nice video! This is a good guide for beginners, but I notice Josh Scott is hitting the elevator quite hard on the vapor. This might have changed since I got my Vapor, but they generally like a low amount of elevator. Also, I can say the Vapor does fly well, as I have over 500 hours of flight time on mine. One tip I can share, is that Cling wrap is a great substitute skinning if you rip the original. Cover it slowly, super glue it, then cut away the excess. Hope this helps some one, and thanks for posting!
