I concur need more girls in the RC Hobby! Girls out there ...,it doesn't matter if you're big, small, tiny, tall ... everything completely melts away when you get that plane up in the air , all by yourself!.. and of course it's so cute to see a girl flying... for Christmas I'm a surprise my girl with a beginners RC plane probably the Sport Cub.. does it come in pink?

The best feeling of flying a model comes when you're on the drive home and haven't broke anything!

even if this is broken, it's still super easy to repair :) so no worries abt it :) take it as a opportunity in learning aircraft maintenance. happy flying :)

Thank you for the Video. I am 65 and have just started with RC Drones. When I first flew it I had my granddaughter with me she enjoyed it with me. Any way I had a good time an now interested in trying planes. I have been watching several starter videos and yours has been the best beginner video. Thank you

[@rancepowell834]

I've been driving and racing RC ground vehicles for over 30 years. Recently I've gotten the itch to fly. I have looked at so many planes and wasn't sure what to get but Thanks to you I now know what to get.

[@jadamian75]

After the first successful landing you had such a great smile and were so happy! I love this hobby! I wish more girls did it.

[@helibird7]

Glad they did good beginner video I've been flying for about 40 years and never get tired of it that was great ✈🚁

[@peterbrown172]

When I learnt to fly, before any assistance electronics, I found that it's a good idea to fly a constant circuit. I did left hand circuits for about 4 sessions (days) . Then I did Touch & goes which prepare you for landing. The reason for the left hand circuits was so that when you got into trouble you had an automatic routine that you didn't have to concentrate on to recover your confidence. I learnt in 1992.

[@haroldnations]

Yep, it's always good to have a plan when learning! (and afterwards!)

[@shutdahellup69420]

im sorry, but what do u mean by automatic routine? like a flight controller and gps path?

[@haroldnations]

No, he (and I) just means to have a routine ingrained in muscle memory that one can fall back on when something goes wrong! :)

[@coreymcgee8283]

I like how after the landings you turn to the camera in excitement.

[@no1fixer958]

Great video,after watching you I've ordered one myself,I was always intimidated by planes and heli's.you have given me the confidence to try flying as I've always been in the dirt(cars and trucks),but watching someone fly is very hypnotizing so thank you very much for this video,cheers

[@RCGirl]

Wow that's so great to hear! You will have to let me know how it goes!! 😀

[@scottmichael3745]

Check out the v911 heli on Amazon. $40, taught myself to fly indoors in less than a month. I've moved onto airplanes but still love it for those rainy days.

[@capnhardway]

It's so much fun. I found that the free simulators really helped with learning the controls and reactions. I had problem with orientation when the plane is further. If you care to see my endeavors, kzbin.info/door/cZfULPpmqyZxjOi8dfmdEg

[@xk84]

Quarantine brought me here.. I’m ordering the Sport Cub S and wanted instructions beforehand on how to fly. Thumbs up for mentioning simulator right off the hop. Thank you RC Girl. 👍🏼

[@roylarue7233]

Thanks for the hands-on view of your first R/C experience with that entry-level plane. That helped me great deal!

I gotta be honest - I love how proud she was at that landing.

Looks like I am gonna get one and fly with my 13 year-old daughter, she's gonna be really excited! Thanks for the video and bravo for your channel.

[@aerocap]

She will !

[@mrspock2al]

Got my Grandson one of these - he was maybe 10 yrs old at that time. First flight, he flew it way too high and it went out of sight. We kept hitting the panic button and hoped for the best. After searching for about 1 hr, I found it sitting upright in the corner of a farmer's field about a half mile away. Not a scratch on it. This is a perfect beginner's plane.

[@lillagubben2815]

After one bad experience with a tethered airplane as a child, and after one bad experience with a difficult helicopter as an adult, I have stayed away from the air in my RC hobbies. I have lots of ground RC experience and some sailing RC experience. But I've been afraid of the air as very unforgiving. Your video has given me the courage to try again. Thanks!

[@RCGirl]

That's nice to hear! Hopefully you can replace those few bad experiences with many great ones 😉

[@PnwOnTour]

Ahh the ole tethered airplaine, mine was small in a bedroom, when it started warp speed we got scared af

[@poedo4ever]

yes,give it a go.we all crash. it happens.

You gotta try a v911 heli on Amazon like $40. Buy extra batteries, 5 for $8. You'll thank me later. After a week I was zipping through the house chasing the cat. And it takes a beating! Greatest true to life rc trainer ever!!! It really helped with stick training. I have now moved on to planes. Good luck amigo!

[@GPOutdoors]

NIce. Lots of wind you can tell. I always find (where I live anyways) that even on the windiest days, that early, early in the morning the wind is almost always calm and doesn't start picking up until around 9:00am so I do most of my flying early. Cheers and thanks for posting!

[@robertcraig328]

When I first started watching your videos I was very impressed with your professionalism and thought to myself this gal is a Miss America I have been flying for 18 years I'm more into warbirds anymore and when I seen you fly the first warbird I changed my mind you have graduated from Miss America to Miss universe you are awesome RC girl I really enjoy your videos also your laugh is kind of cute also when you land. LOL looking forward to more videos

[@Scott2817]

I just found you on KZbin and watched your video on the Blade 120 heli and now this one. I think you are very coordinated and skillful seeing how well you fly these two aircraft as a beginner. I'm impressed. It's one thing when the aircraft is flying calmly but when the wind or something causes it to do things you don't expect and you can react and keep it from crashing that's another thing. That's a good pilot! Fantastic video!

[@carlgulbransen4852]

Hey RC Girl, You ROCK! Fun watching you demo these planes. I want one really bad because of you and your "I can do this attitude"! I'm an old sail plane guy here in your area. Electric flight and all the tech really helps even if you have RC flight experience. The old days of buy, build and crash was expensive and disappointing. This is soooooo much cheaper and the planes come home in one piece! It's fun to watch you as you learn different skills. Thanks for inspiration! C Gul

[@fastbak390]

That is awesome that you are branching out into flight! I dabbled in it about 15 years ago with limited success, but last year I decided to dive back in head first. I watched a ton of Flite Test videos and learned as much as I could. I bought a Taranis radio and used it with some sims. I built the FT Tiny Trainer and was able to get the hang of basic 4-channel flight. The real breakthrough happened after I joined a local flying club where I could share the sky with folks that have been in the hobby for decades. I can't recommend clubs enough. Anyways, congrats on your successful maiden and I look forward to following along in your journey!

[@capnhardway]

It's awesome, I was into rockets still am but the difference is once you have the plane, all you need is time and a field, enjoy! 👍kzbin.info/door/cZfULPpmqyZxjOi8dfmdEg

That was cool, good job demonstrating this plane. I’ve been thinking of getting one, I guess I will after watching this. 👏👏👏

[@wheeleking9049]

R/C planes have come a long ways since I first got into it many years ago. I use to tell beginners, try to start with a larger plane (easier to see) & not to fly when windy. But now, many small planes have the new radio stabilizing system. Easier to fly in wind. Nice Video.

[@capnhardway]

I'm telling you, it's fun in the wind once you get over the hump so to speak lol, watch my video from crash to controlled(somewhat😂) flying kzbin.info/door/cZfULPpmqyZxjOi8dfmdEg

You take me back about 5 years, my first plane was either the champ or the cub, since, i now have a 3 rd champ and same cub. Now you will be looking forward to flying larger aircraft. After my cub I moved up to a 36 inch low wing civilian. Which was almost identical to my new 50 inch cherokee from h h. It flies as easy just need more space. Continue to fly, new subsbr

[@joshuasterling2144]

I must say you are lucky to have this type of space open for this type of random go to an area flying. I have 20 planes and I dont fly as much anymore because of the planning, the packing and the going 40 minutes one way to fly. Its why I have moved mostly to freestyle quadcopter FPV flying.. Great vid and cheers.

[@stonesthrow420]

I just ordered this form Horizon Hobbies, thanks for the video, I tried to fly my new Scale Cessna 182 but im just not ready for that, this plane will help get my skills more fine tuned. Great demonstration !

This is great instruction for beginners. The video is very understandable and helpful. This is the 4th and best video I’ve watched on this model. No one however has even mentioned the trim functions. The trim buttons must be there for a reason.

[@mgamga9476]

Thanks. I just bought this plane and you gave good video on flying it. I do have the eflight Apprentice 15e. And I can fly it great. Just can't land it. So hopefully this plane will give me the confidence and skills to land my Apprentice.

Awesome - good luck! I know you can land it!!

[@josephallan8791]

Nice flying. I have moved on to hot rod quarter size planes since i started flying 30 years ago. Some of my planes cost what a cheap car costs. But still get so much joy out of my little front yard fliers just like that little model your flying. If it flies i love it. Nice flight You did very good girl. Keep it up

Thanks, again for a great video and your presentation is so nice.

I got good exercise going hiking to look for what remained of the plane. It is nice to see people taking an interest in the magic of flight.

I've been in the hobby for years. Recently the ama and faa have made it nearly impossible for us to fly at the local club. I said screw the faa and ama & got myself a sport cub. Did the maiden yesterday. What a fun little airplane. Now I fly at my local park in a big empty parking lot

[@homebrewman23]

If you are new to rc planes, keep in mind the small planes are harder to fly than a bigger one. I had a Mini J3 piper cub like the one in this video 24" wingspan, that thing was a real handful even in minor wind, the smaller and lighter your plane, the more wild it will control. Flying is harder than you think, start with a simulator to save yourself alot of money and don't get discouraged if you crash

[@kennywohltman436]

The sports cub s was my first plane it tough me how to fly. It. Also started a rc addiction. I bought 12 planes I one year , I can’t get enough. Great video and happy flying!

[@SebastianLong]

A few days ago I watched a Horizon Hobbies video advertising the eFlite F-18 hornet, and now I have to have it. It isn't a want, it's a must, BUT I have to learn how to fly a plane first. The one in your video I may have to get to learn. When I get an understanding and feel comfortable with it, then I'll get that F-18. I'll probably get a higher tier radio than the DX6 because if I buy one plane, I'll have 4 when I'm done....at least. Lol. When I got my first surface RC, I said to myself "this is all I need" now 8 trucks, and 1 boat in, I know what to expect. There is 3 left that I want and that's not including the F-18.

[@yarrdayarrdayarrda]

Thinking about dipping my toes into RC planes, watching my first flight video, and loving it! From here it looks like a small directional breeze could be helpful, it really slows the plane going against the wind, which should make landing a bit easier. (I think) Looks to be an entertaining hobby, and much easier to learn on compared to the nitro RC planes my father flew when I was a child over 30 years ago. Thanks!

[@bigfan1364]
