RC Plane flying and building - Probably this is the only Hobby that involves Engineering, Electronics, Building, Aerodynamics, Model making, etc.
This is a hobby which is demanding and challenging and yet rewarding, when you fly it!
The feeling you get when you fly the plane successfully, is priceless.
As a RC Plane hobbyist for several years I have come to experience this priceless feeling again and again and I want others to feel the same about this hobby.
That is why I have created this STEP-BY-STEP ILLUSTRATED GUIDE , so that with minimum frustration and 'fuss' you can go about making your flight a successful one.
This Guide covers some very important segments in the process of flying without which a successful flight will one be a matter of chance! They are,
- How planes fly
- Planes don’t turn, but instead they ‘bank’, why?
- Bank / Roll
- RC Plane banking
- Ground controls
- Your flying field selection
- Taxi & Take off
- Taxi (ground roll)
- Take-off (transition from ground to air)
- Climb & First bank
- Climbing and maintaining altitude
- Flight path
- Stalling : Recognise & Recover from Stall
- Descent & Landing
- Cross wind Landing
- Various Landing Scenarios
This guide is a creation and compilation of some extensive research, both from actual experience and available information.
Lastly, I want to say only one thing about flying RC Planes, "The more you know about them, the better your flying will be"
