Re: Anyone familiar with RC airplanes?
The next thing to do then is find a flying club in your area.
Most of them have a guest flying program and often their are veterans that are willing to help instruct you. Realflight is great as a learning tool, but nothing like real life application. Get with someone that can instruct you on a "buddy cord". It allows you to connect 2 radios, one for student and one for master. The teacher will hold a button on the master radio that allows the student to control the plane, if you get in trouble he lets go the button and control is returned to the master. Its almost foolproof. I have been teaching for 8 years and never crashed a student's plane unless there was something radically wrong with the plane or its setup to begin with.
Which brings about another point... make sure a veteran gives your whole setup a good looking over before your first flight. Better to find out on the ground than when its in the air.
Anyway... best of luck and enjoy the open skies!
