I been dome flying since 2003. My tip if you fly with others. I would get there with a large coffee. I would watch them fly and get some crashes out of the way while I enjoyed my coffee. It is lots of fun in the dome. Keeps you alert. We usually hand toss out planes in the dome.
I have a similar plane, a bigger Edge that can be used outdoors in calm conditions. Pretty awesome! On the hot glue - I got a tip from someone else to only buy the genuine Bosch Ultra glue sticks - the others do exactly what your hot glue does and comes off.
Thanks for the hot glue tip! I think I will keep this one for calm conditions outside and buy another... which of course I already have! RC Factory Clik 25 is up next :-)
Hello, if you really want to try indoor flying, you can choose a model like à Slick x360 Multiplex. It’s a very good plane for that with less than 200 g weight… this is essential for a pleasant indoor flying
2 cell for indoors. You need a very light airframe with a very far aft cg and need to be very advanced on the rudder control for flying inside. Keep yours for calm evenings outside.
@MattTakharRC that's a fantastic model. Just keep it light and 2s is more than enough power for inside. You will love it. Ask a friend if you are unsure of the setup. Honestly I had to learn all over again myself going inside. Those foamies don't turn like our outside models do. You most likely experienced that already:)
The guys I've seen that fly well indoors either have a lot of 3D experience or fly very light models. Your model looks heavy. I've only flown indoors a few times (Twisted Hobbys 24" Mini-MXS-C, 350 mAh pack), so I can't offer any tips. It definitely is a challenge! Flying 30 mph outdoors is slow, but indoors that feels like a rocket. You did very well for a first go. I broke a lot more props, even with a prop saver.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree it does seam heavy compared to a more modern plane. I've just ordered an RC Factory Clik 25 - that should be lighter and slower.
@@rcnfo1197 all of our dome planes use 1300 3S batteries but our dome was bigger. It was a golf dome. You’re right he will be better with a lighter air frame.
@@MattTakharRC Also for the dome we would scratch build our planes form plans we got on Rc Groups since we new they had a short shelf life. We used fan fold blue foam.
Indoors, there's not much air and no wind speed to make the plane floaty so you'd need something smaller/lighter and full rates to get more deflection on surface. Flat foamies fly like a brick indoors and there's nothing to slow it down. That size plane for that size of indoor space would require advancement of skills in 3D. An E-flite vapor or a flat foamie that's similar size to the UMX e-flite planes would do well with that space
@@MattTakharRC Yes, something 25 would do well in that space. That 35 would do well in an indoor basketball court cause of the larger space, it'll still fly like a brick but at least there's room to fly it in.

Nice tip! I'm yet to fly in a group.

Can’t wait to give it a try 👌🏼
Going again on Monday.
Did you mean this is a TA HORIZONS kit? If so you snagged a great deal on a great airplane. Nice review/flight.
Yes I did!

Thanks for leaving your tip. I’ll check out the Slick!
