MINI APPRENTICE S | Maiden Flight & Beginner Tips (Pt. 2)

**PART I: UNBOXING & ASSEMBLY VIDEO: bit.ly/2R81kQp
I finally found a new flying spot! Joined the local rc flying club and got my AMA membership. I'm now able to use the rc flying field and filmed Part II of my Mini Apprentice S video.
Here I go over getting up for your first flight with the Mini Apprentice and share some tips I picked up from other members. This plane is a really popular trainer, but can also do some fun aerobatic moves so you can grow into it as your skills progress.
Apologies for the not-so-great audio - my mic broke so I had to re-film it with no external mic!
Lastly, I'll be at the AMA Expo November 2-4, 2018 in Pomona, CA. Get your tickets at amablog.modela...

Hi loved your videos,just got a little tip for beginner pilots.We always taught absolute beginners to fly square circuits,take off into wind,bank left across the wind,bank left down wind,bank left again across wind,final approach left again into wind and land.That way you got experience with wind control coming from the right,coming from behind,coming from the left and then head on again into land,plus added throttle control.A little boring at first but a very good confidence builder and once gained learners got a good sounding for general flying. Keep the videos coming! happy flying from the UK

[@Richard-rs8tx]

Richard, OMG, I am really super impressed! with YOU, Why? (First I am not a candidate boyfriend! - Yea, I am 83 and happily married for 60years and I do have a daughter. I have been and EE and build an fly RC, owned a full scale PA28. - My daughter is into flower, for wedding etc. am I love her to death. BUT, having a daughter like you is to die for. - that is meant as a complement. - YOUR daddy most be so so so impressed with you! - Another complement, your presentation are really excellent, so many are good but they - just show what HE did. YOU have wisdom to provide as you go, the WHYs, and Whens for people new to our hobby. My complements!

[@luthercoleman7221]

Me and you both started flying at the same time I watched one of your videos flying the horizon sport cub s and then I started to fly. Learning while watching you , thank you it is so much fun.

[@jimsnodgrass8454]

RC Girl, it's great to see you having so much fun flying and doing your best to make it easier for other novices to get into this hobby painlessly. Keep it up.. :)

[@AKATEATime]

Great demo of all the modes. Nice smooth landings. 👍 I grew up with my Dad being a pilot, and we went to LOTS of airshows and fly-ins, and I even took some flight training myself, so I guess it could be said that flying is in my blood. Heh Your "flip" is a loop, and a loop where you nose down instead is an outside loop (so technically a regular loop is an inside loop).

[@rockyjohnIII]

Glad to see you joined a local club. It has many advantages - Instructors, club events such as fun flies, and there is a wealth of rc modeling experience. I just learned to fly two years ago without the stabilaziation of modern receivers. I learned on an hobbico Superstar EP and it helped to have an instructor.

[@capnron65]

Nice job! A tip if you’re interested - noticed you use your thumbs to move the sticks. Try using your thumb and forefinger. This should provide for more precise and gentle control. YMMV. Cheers!

[@ljsmixbox44]

Hi RC girl, you look more comfortable flying now. Your're sticking your Landings and you're doing Loops... You're making me get back into planes again.🤗

[@johnuriniuk588]

Happy to see how much you improved since your first flight, the more experience you gain the harder tricks will become easier. Great job keep the videos coming.

[@gmorphan]

Your experience with the local club was a good one. When I talked to a few guys at my local club and told them I had bough an Apprentice Se w/SAFE, they poo-poo'ed and said the only way to learn was with a buddy-box and a regular plane. Needless to say, I didn't bother to join their club and I fly on my own.

[@RCGirl]

Yeah there are a lot of "by the book" folks that are a bit turned off by the new technology. I'd say anything that gets more people into the hobby, and reduces the learning curve, the better. Don't rely on SAFE for too long, but using it as a learning tool is fine in my book!

[@gmorphan]

@@RCGirl I totally understand a comment you made, in this or another video, about developing bad habits in beginner and intermediate modes. I bought my Apprentice about 3 or 4 years ago. Flew it just a little and the ECS nearly burned the plane up. I stored it away until just recently...figuring I now have the time to invest. She's up and flying again and I've spent some time in "intermediate" mode. I just picked up RF9.5 w/controller to hopefully get some low risk practice, but unfortunately I can't get it to install on my computer. Searched the internet and found a number of people that had similar issues, but no resolution. Horizon has yet to respond to my help request. I'm looking forward to getting the simulator up and running. I really enjoy your videos and calm, confident demeanor.

[@RCGirl]

@@gmorphan hmmm assuming you're running it on a PC? Does it meet minimum spec requirements?

[@gmorphan]

@@RCGirl Yes, it's a PC. It's 5 years old, running Windows 10 with plenty of RAM, hard drive storage and the most up-to-date drivers. My issue is I can't get RF9.5 to even install. Both the CD and online upload just stalls at "preparing install" after the initial "where to you want to put it" screens. I've disabled what little virus protection I have and even attempted the install in "developer mode", but no luck. I will try Horizon again. I've got an option to install it on my wife's laptop, but not until she completes an online study and exam. Otherwise it's try to hit up my IT guy at work. I'm a fairly competent computer user, but I know my limits.

[@rockyjohnIII]

Can't wait to hear about you trip to AMA Expo...good to hear you mention the Throttle cut switch, an important safety feature. a lot to learn, waite to when you get into programming your xmitter...

[@RCGirl]

I'm hoping to do a vlog-style video for the AMA Expo!

[@dalecheek1]

RC Girl you re now a celebrity as HH has shared your vid to all of there Subscribers .....Well done

[@triskellian]

It looks like you're picking up flying pretty well! You'll learn some more techniques from your fellow flyers at the club too;they're a great resource.If I may suggest something that'll help you.As you start flying more without the gyro assistance,make as small movements as possible on the sticks.Also,as you turn for example,ease into the turn first as you smoothly add some up elevator.Then, when you level the wings,just relax the elevator.Much of the time,the plane will fly straight and level with little input. Finally,waiting for the plane to settle into a stable turn,climb,descent,ect.will look realistic and silky smooth! Happy flying. :-)

[@allenallen7569]

I just ordered my mini Apprentice a few days ago. Thanks for great video and info.

[@Tamiwik]

Loved your unboxing and maiden flight, but where is the video of you using the floats???

[@derekgeorge3211]

Thanks so much for this. I just bought the same plane but never flew yet. Always great to get some good flying tips. Thanks again!

[@theKeppis]

A little different take on beginning the model-plane hobby, which is nice :) When you advance in your training hone your skills on landings, it can save your planes in the future, when having problems in the air, like when batteries die (motor cuts of for low voltage or a nitro plane or a glow plane dead sticks) so you don't have to plan your "emergency landing" that much . Also for more pleasant videos fly a bit closer if you can or have a zoom in the camera, much more enjoyable to see the plane properly than just a few pixels for the most of the time ;).

[@unclefester420]

Some added bonuses I think will be good to mention about this plane. If you let go of the sticks, it should come back to straight and level in beginner and intermediate mode but not in advanced mode. Panic button works in all three modes. Great job and keep em flying. Try a radian and I think you'll have a blast when you catch your first thermal. They are easy to fly too plus the lights on the new one are insane.

[@44Mag]

You did a good job presenting and covering this plane. Glad to see you joined a flying club, and more importantly, that you joined the AMA. Enjoy the hobby!

[@RCGirl]

Poker2145 thanks! Excited to be a new AMA member

[@bradschak]

Tip for beginners. When the plane is flying towards you, the ailerons and rudder are reversed. That means, when the plane is flying towards you, to make the plane roll left, push the control stick to the right. To keep the wings level when flying towards you, push the stick to the low wing. So if the right wing is lower, move the stick to the right and you will so the wing come up.

[@robertcovell2787]

Thank you for this. I've been inactive in the hobby since the days when electric was a joke. The mini will be my reintroduction

[@socalrcconstructionscrcc6245]

Wonderful video. I just got mine and can't wait to go flying.

[@elsby]

I liked the victory "yes" dance after you landed that thing like a boss! great vid

[@56thSPSk970]

I'm just hitting started, 1st plane soon, this video very timly. THANK YOU!

[@Sticker-Happy]

Wow, that's so cool. I love the venue too. Sadly I can't trust myself getting airborne yet. Ill stick to the ground for now :) Maybe a drone to start off with?

[@fixedgear.fl.4225]

Very nice flying. That does look fun. I love the look of the airplanes....

[@realMartinHamilton]

Nice! You make it seem fun and easy. Such a smooth flying plane. That field reminds me of California near the aquaduct. I lived in Tracy CA for 12 years. Out on the valley where it's more windy than your field.

[@eriklundqvist9032]

Hi RC Girl - your videos are a great asset for us looking in to the hobby of flying RC-planes.

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

You're really getting a handle on flying, quickly!! 👍👍 One thing I'm surprised you haven't been told yet... In turns (especially with aileron turns), you ALWAYS lose altitude. You should be getting used to a tiny bit of up Elevator, whenever you're turning. After time, you'll instinctively KNOW exactly how much Elevator you need in turns, to make it look smooth! 😉 ......... BTW, a "back flip" is actually called a "Loop the Loop" or just a Loop. The "roll over" is actually a "Barrel Roll". Just want to keep you on the right track! 😊 With any Aircraft, Altitude is LIFE! Other than that, that's something of the BEST N00B Flying I may have ever seen!! Great Presentation and Explanation for any Skill Level to understand. I've flown the 1:1 variety in the Air Force..... But am only Building my FIRST RC Aircraft now! I'm told that for real Pilots, there's a relearning Curve! 😱 I'm excited to start. I've been at RC Meets for Years, but only have less than an hour, on a tiny Park Flyer!! RC Flying can be as relaxing or intense as YOU want it to be. And it looks like you've nearly got the perfect Trainer! Me, and most of the guys who I see fly, all agree that Tricycle Landing Gear is FAR better for Ground Control than Tail Draggers. Easier to take off, and Much easier to Land! EXCELLENT Video, young Lady! ~ Carmine

[@RCGirl]

Thanks! I did mention the losing altitude when you turn briefly (at 6:10 ), but great to highlight again. Thanks for the tips.

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Hey, my pleasure! When you reach my age, all you've got left to give is advice!! 😱😊

[@haroldnations]

not exactly, an aileron roll is just a roll, a barrel roll uses rudder AND aileron to make a figure like, wait for it, a barrel in the sky. :)

[@1peanut]

awesome airplane. looks like so much fun. Great vid. Thank you.

[@patrickopix8370]

Wonderful tutorial... You are a Fantastic Teacher!!! Thanks...

[@jeffro8373]

Nice flying and a great aircraft. I am hoping the weather will get above freezing for a day or two so I can maiden a couple aircraft. Thanks again for your great videos. Happy Flying

[@andyrichey1192]

Thank you RC girl for sharing, I'm just getting into plains, I got the super cub S ain't been able to fry yet been pretty windy around here in Manchester Michigan, I enjoyed you sharing this with us I'll be watching for more

[@RCGirl]

Dang wind!!

[@RCGirl]

Let me know how your first flight goes!

[@thomasyerosic6134]

Your mannerisms are HILLIARIOUS!!!!👍👍👍👍

[@JoshWeaverRC]

Definitely was a great second plane for me. Still a go to for high winds or playing in the snow or water on floats. Great video!

[@georgegesualdi432]

Lots of good information, thank you. sure wish my wife loved planes as much as you! LOL

[@matk4731]

Best trainer you can get well done 👍🏻 I’ve had mine for over a year & never had a problem with it. Just fly’s awesome. Gave me the confidence to move up tp more sportier & scale planes. 🙃 I still like flying it. You greased that landing 👍🏻Love the channel 🙃🙃

[@bodhispanier8159]

Same

[@kwaka5704]

Getting into the hobby. Getting the RF8 Horizon Hobby add on also. Would be good to see if they handle like the real planes. Maybe you could do a comparison "sim v real" when you get it? The current RF8 doesn't have any of the planes I am intending getting. May start with a Sport cub first off then move on to a Timber.

[@carlgulbransen4852]

I've been a real airplane pilot since 1980. I owned one of the best planes to learn to fly in, a Piper Cherokee. The little electric Cessna 172 clone that you are flying is the perfect platform to learn how to fly RC planes. Terminology for flying will come to you after being a pilot for a while. I had one of my friends jump in my plane after I got my solo permit and ask me to take him "around the patch" . When I looked at him like he had two heads he decided to get back out of the plane and wait until I had more experience. Good choice." When in doubt round about" is a good saying. Nothing worse then bringing home a broken model. I'd like to commend you on your efforts to get more women into flying RC or doing any RC for that matter. It's good clean fun that anyone can be involved in. I think that starting out with small inexpensive trainers is a very good idea for anyone interested in RC flight. Loops, rolls, Dutch rolls, hammer heads, stalls and spins are just a few of the terms that become second nature. So watch you altitude and attitude and have fun RC Girl! You Rock!

[@richardmccracken9180]

I used to fly rc planes as a kid about to get back into it thanks for the videos girl

[@src2920]

Hi, thanks for the tips, they are especially helpful for someone new to the hobby like me. I was wondering in what mode (3 SAFE Modes) did you set up your trims? Perhaps you can do a tutorial on flight trim adjustment for SAFE/SAFE Select planes. It will be great for newcomers.

[@caerospace3678]

Great video, and description of what your doing, looking forward to watching you fly off water, in my many years i have not tried float flying yet, Compliments to the person on the camera great job following the plane.

[@mikebojtor]

Thanks very helpful I was going to get the carbon cub but I think the mini would probably be the best starter never have flown a plane only drones. It’s amazing you remind me of my friend Holly she is smart and pretty too thanks again

[@theRCelement]

Awesome! Nice job Hayley!

[@RCGirl]

The RC Element thanks!! 🤙

[@bob6168able]

Amazing video. 😉 You need to try the Freewings Pandora ,, one of the best and comes 4 in 1. 👍

[@tommycheshire5508]

An amazing advance for you. I have had planes for a year and have been too afraid to try them. You make it look so easy. Continued good luck to you.

[@RCGirl]

Tommy Cheshire try them! Always helps to have friends in the hobby to help you out too, and can grab the controls if anything goes wrong.

[@scottfirman]

I hope you got a Simulator. It builds confidence and you will find you can fly just like the simulator said you can.

[@kktkev]

Cool I am glad there is other people who like all types of RC

[@fozzysrchobbies1343]

You will , just takes practice, I have een flying for 16 ears. I started out the same way with a nice trainer . Hobbyzone supercub lp. I flew it so much I burnt the motor out. Now im flying edf jets and heli's and planes still. You will get it .

[@josephsias1319]

Great Video! Thanks you, I enjoyed it. FliteTest is also a great place to find info about how to fly. In my experience the horizon hobby SAFE tech seemed to be a bit advanced for me as I did not have anyone to help me besides the internet. I do have a Horizon Hobby Champ S and it is great!!!!! Although not as beginner friendly as it seems for myself. Lots of great options available today for rc flight. This hobby saved my life!

[@RCGirl]

Joseph Sias yeah I definitely recommend finding a buddy to learn from. Clubs are great too and usually people are really great about sharing info and giving help

[@helibird7]

Good job you've improved quite a bit we'll have to get you out to our field in Costa Mesa and get you to fly a big heli🚁

[@ItsCamaro3]

IMPORTANT:: Do not keep the plane in the air for too long. Battery dies and you will lose all control. Mine came spiraling down and was totalled. Very sad.

[@airbus7379]

Happened with me! But the battery wasn’t dead disconnected

[@TurboBird64]

Planes look like fun but there's not a lot of areas to fly in my neck of the woods...helicopters are a little more my speed for flight R/C but still a great video to a great introduction plane. Keep the great videos coming

[@RCGirl]

Seamus Ramsey yeah I hear ya! It's hard to find decent flying spots...

[@TurboBird64]

I know, I'm up in northern California and its tons of trees! Not exactly a flying area but trucks, boats and helicopters are great for the area

[@ykpr]

Very interesting presentation of this plane. After this video I have a question. If I want to learn to pilot RC plane alone what is the best plane to start with ? Mini apprentice ? apprentice 1.5 STS ? Multiplex Easy star 2 ? Superbcub Trainer ? Carbon cub ? What will be your choice between these plane or maybe another ? Thank you !

[@buddy1065]

Nice landing!

[@zubuxstein]

You should present yourself first by your name and then the channel name. *one tip I always do is check the battery level right before installing it on the plane regardless if it was charged at home. I have lost count how many pilots lose their planes due to a battery they thought was charged. That club has to be difficult to fly during sunrise/sunset depending on which one is it opposite of when you were there.

[@RCGirl]

Crankestein Loskon yeah great tip! My next video will be on lipo care and tips. This field is good at sunrise but not in the evenings

[@miniatureenginesandmore9906]

That happened to me I didn’t lose the plane though

[@FarmerFpv]

Damn are you sure you're a beginner? You take off and land that plane like a pro. I've been flying for over 15 years since I was a kid at 10 years old. You're such a natural! My F4U Corsair is asking me if you're married and would like to take him for a flight? 🙏🔥❤️🤣 Love you videos keep up the great work. Cheers Rob

[@MAPAHaus5]

I have yet to fly a plane. Been flying heli for years and have gotten into RC scale trucks/crawlers. Been really thinking about this apprentice or the Cessna. Been flying planes only in Real Flight 9 sim. I have found that lining the plane up with the landing lane is the challenge. Any tips?

[@JoeSmoe1]

Relationship goals right here. And some damn good flying too

[@nathangarciamuro]

Cool video. It is great tutorial from a beginner to a beginner, saying what needs to be said. I am sad I didn’t get to see this video before I purchased my plane which is an XK A520 which I believe is not going to turn to be a great beginners plane. I will keep an eye in this plane and I am not successful with mine I will try it. Thanks again for everything.

[@rickbachman993]

Nice, I have this plane. Still in the shipping box. For 2 and a half years. . long story, but this year,She will be in the air. I hope. Thanks for your info! Your a good pilot 👍.

[@AlejandroMendoza-qe1ex]

I just flew a Sport Cub S 2 a couple of days ago. First time flier. Hand launch and soft landings in a grass field. Crashed into the only tree around and it’s all good! Got the ready to fly kit. And a couple of extra batteries. I love it for a first time plane.

I got the sport cub s and flew it for the first time ,it was too windy and had to put it down before the wind took it away for good ,I purchased this one to also train on after I practice on the mini one first

[@qnoorani]

super nice landing. how are you getting it to slow down while landing? also, as you mentioned for a beginner plane it doesn't want to come down, and mine keeps wanting to climb SAFE or not, how are you keeping it level?

[@RCGirl]

You'll have to trim the elevator down a bit so that it doesn't climb when you're flying. Make sure to trim when you're flying at about half throttle. And to slow when landing, I'm basically landing on no throttle and I do use a bit of elevator to bring it down (which I know technically you aren't supposed to do)

[@qnoorani]

@@RCGirl thanks for the reply and the help. trimmed the elevator today while not in SAFE and it flew better but still climbing a bit. thinking I may also need to manually lower the elevator a couple of notches. landing is a whole different story though lol. killed the throttle as you recommended but it's still coming in hot. an option for breaks would be money.

[@scottfirman]

When I first started flying I couldnt land where I wanted. As long as it landed, I didnt care. Now I can land where ever I want, not where ever it wants. lol. Its a nice plane for the money.
