fly boy3 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Welcome KFC I like your attitude pal. Normally that first crash is the end of the interest in a wonderful hobby. As above, join a club, or buy a simulator, and keep up the questions on this forum. You will be suprised at the help you can get here.

Kung Fu Chicken Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Good evening chaps, Well after a weekend of cutting,glueing, swearing and taping(and to many hours on my sim, woman not happy) i put the plane back together for the fourth time and all was well. Right up until the right wing chose to part ways with its self! bummer, im now the proud owner of a lot of box packing?. not to be detured im once again searching for plane should be a little cheaper this as hopfully i can reuse my gear. once again thanks chaps for making me feel welcome and ill let you know how im progressing.

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi KFC, have you thought about getting some time on a buddy box with an instructor at a club - it might mean you spend a bit longer flying compared to mending BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricky Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 maybe get parkzone radian or diamond 1800 and definatly buy a simulator (helps you get used to your controls and the way different planes react)...i started blind,crashed..got pheonix sim and with practice i learned to fly...great for winter days when you cant fly too....always try and get ur plane high so you have plenty of space to rectify mistakes (gives you more time to think)...always start off slow and build your skills up....hope all goes well and so glad you havnt quit..you will get there in the end..and theres plenty of ways to help you along...i crashed and was mortified at the begining but built and flew and never looked back..it will take time but the time will be worth itgood luckricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
