Why EVERY RC pilot needs a trainer part 3: Banner Towing

Banner towing is a super fun way to hone your precision flying skills to make maneuvers silky smooth and drop things exactly where you want them... if the release works!

Wow! Great video super helpful!

[@CaptainMavic]

Nice idea! Great that you are in Ohio early this year. See you in a few days.

Is this senior 3 or 4 channel? Didn’t look like there were ailerons from the pics. Wonderfully done by the way. As a pilot I can tell you that banner towing is the most underrated and toughest jobs a pilot can have, but great experience to make you a good pilot. Edit: I saw the ailerons after your second takeoff so disregard first part of comment

[@JoshuaOrchard]

Thank you for the comment!

well shit, that's fun. I gotta try this somehow. New students just came in for my university. Guess I can put up a welcome banner lol

[@bowenbrown]

Nice, might try this with my Hobbico Flightstar I am restoring.

Where did u get the airplane?

[@rickrader1649]

Nice video…what is the size of the banner?

[@JoshuaOrchard]

Great question! After sewing the edges it is about 16” tall and 9 feet long.

[@WARTHUNDAR]

What plane would you recommend for banner towing?

[@JoshuaOrchard]

Really, any high-wing trainer type model will do but obviously you'll need to size the banner according to the size/power of your model. Keep in mind that the banner does add a notable amount of drag so keeping the thrust up (not speed) is crucial.
