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

[@privateagent]

I'm here to chew bubble gum and crash some planes.. and I'm all outta gum

[@TheSateef]

totally agree, i think this is going to help me a lot

[@dannypham3975]

@@privateagent man im all outta planes :/

[@chrisbrian2173]

Well I crush my helicopter

[@jasonlewallen7146]

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.

[@sptrader6316]

The first video for beginners, that shows how the stick movements affect the plane direction and speed. Excellent.

[@skyrockit8271]

Finally,, someone who speaks clearly and concise,, look forward to your next lessons !

[@alanpoparad6366]

Really like this guy as trainer, calm voice, explains succinctly, trains in small increments. Will definitely be watching more of his videos !

[@royd7984]

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.

[@davidmulcahy4864]

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.

[@jimruell1375]

What? Give power?

[@MrForcats]

You are a very fine instructor. Teaching seems natural for you. Keep up the great work.

[@Aniyannc33]

Great training video. Been out of RC flying by 25 years, and helped me to get back into the memory lane.

[@chuckcawthon3370]

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.

[@cooltube]

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. Regards Dave North Yorkshire England

[@f1948s]

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.

[@creamythroat]

how’s it going?

[@All-rc804]

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

[@lambertodgr8]

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

[@TheGulang]

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!

[@rclatino3442]

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

[@duncanbloomfield2280]

What a great easy to understand video.This is perfect for a total novice.Well done and thanks!!

[@rogerking2801]

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.

[@89jlynch]

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!

[@felixklages1893]

Eines der Besten Flugvideos, super erklärt 1000 Dank, Grüße aus Deutschland

[@danielthuo5461]

This is so cool i,ve always wanted an RC plane,this video taught me alot.

[@richarddonahue3565]

Good idea of turning body some to get a better perspective.

[@holliswong8519]

Thanks. I am nervous. Just got my first rc plane. Very good info.

[@skateboardingjesus4006]

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?

[@fortnitepro5678]

This is the best rc learning video

[@nikoarchon4212]

This guy nailed it learn so much thanks brother

[@robbiemingle6873]

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

[@flat-earther]

have you flown yet? did you succeed?

[@txkflier]

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.

[@live4life767]

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.

[@GuilhermeSampaioC]

Good tips! Thanks

[@gregkienle3378]

Excellent training video. You rock.

[@p-51mustang51]

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!

[@hunterwayne5623]

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

[@flat-earther]

did you fly yet? did you succeed?

[@gasolinediesel972]

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.

[@violin191]

Awesome tutorial.

[@wadebrewer7212]

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.

[@wlouisharris]

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.

[@MrYeshwanthln]

Oh ! Best one for biggners. Thanks for the upload

[@drummerdad80]

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!

[@privateagent]

get a bixler

[@edomen]

@@privateagent i would get an easy glider

[@privateagent]

@@edomen the easy glider has a frontal propeller which is not recommended for a beginner.

[@thegrayeagle9181]

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.

[@ebikecnx7239]

Very nice explanation

[@daviddowd3764]

Great video!

[@laird340]

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.

[@bodhidude1657]

Thx this is reassuring just ordered a traner and I am terrified

[@ericpecana5892]

this video was sooo very helpful for first timer like me.. thank you 😊 hopefully I will apply to own rc flight.. ✈️

[@noname-ge3tz]

great job teaching thank you really like your videos

[@kucomat]

AS a novice in rc hobby i find it difficult because im used to play video games with different range of joysticks

[@JAGDISHKUMAR-ey2ii]

NICE

[@mfeldheim]

Nice. I think I will try the software before sending the real thing. Thanks for the good advice!

[@geraldscott4302]

I don't recommend using a computer to learn to fly a REAL R/C plane. VERY different experiences. I recommend the Apprentice STS, with the SPMA3173 GPS module, and the SPMA3180 Landing Assist Sensor module. These will make the plane virtually crash proof. You can set up a GPS fence to prevent the plane from flying out of the range of the transmitter and crashing. It gives you a "hands off" mode, so that if you do get disoriented, and you will, just flip a switch on the transmitter, and the plane will go into a GPS controlled "holding pattern" where it just flies in circles until you take control of it again. It also gives you the ability to actually have the plane land itself at the same place it took off from. All these functions are available anytime you feel like you might lose control, and can save a nearly $500 airplane. With them, you can practice whatever you want, and if you start to lose control, flip the switch, and the plane will level itself out and go into the holding pattern. If you are a beginner, DO NOT try to learn to fly without these safeguards.

[@Jay-zc7iq]

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 🙏

[@markgraves9429]

Glad I found this. Thinking seriously about getting into the hobby.

This is really, really helpful. Very clear and concise. Is that just regular view settings, no auto zoom etc? Thanks!

[@paulelkouss]

Thanks for the video

[@airplanejazz]

Amazing video, I definitely needed to do this before I got a trainer that I crashed. I will be looking for some simulator programs.

[@sastrydasigi7010]

Awesome tutorial!

[@silverfoxrc2986]

Hello Andrew, I'm looking forward to your next series of videos, have you posted them yet?

[@jamesberwick2210]

Take offs are optional, landing will happen, gravity will see to that.

[@spheryc1648]

But sometimes if you allow it to glide when landing, wind can get in its way and blow it which can result to a nosedive in some situations, you can let the throttle be low and slowly land. (Only if your rc plane is light)

[@rcchronicles25]

That was really useful! Thanks I'll be attempting that in a few weeks time when I move on from my rudder only trainer

[@cmtlights]

man this video made it clear as day on how to fly an rc plane. great video im ready to go buy an rc plane!

[@paule2339]

great video ! i am subscribe def, good explanations i am also a beginner i learn enough here thanks , these vid is clearly calm spoken thank you

[@raymhuang]

Although I have years of RC cars, I like pretending I am in the plane in real-time and I turn as I want to fly instead of thinking orientation. This does not work on hovering a Heli though-that is just muscle memory an lots of crashes.

Great Vid. Please use Binoculars in the future vids, it helps beginners to actually see how the plane react to stick movements. Thank you!

[@markkolcze5571]

Is there any advantage learning to fly mode 1 over mode 2? Or vice versa?

[@skybugproductions7527]

Nice video

[@mountainbiker4450]

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?
