The key is having a cool, patient instructor like Josh and flying somewhere you like and feel comfortable. I actually quit because my instructor was a grumpy, crusty old man and the flying club and field I joined everybody acted bossy and bickered.
I'm starting over after 5 years and hopefully this time will be fun. Thanks for such great info in this series.
I live in Italy and I am learning to fly with this video thank you.
I don't have teacher so I fly alone, I destroy the plaine alone and I repair alone.
I live in america and i crash and rebuild alone.
Hi , how are you ?
I need you help to have small plane with equipment to help me start this project in my country me please help me....
it looks so easy when Josh is flying
Which Josh? *X-Files theme plays in background*

That tip on pushing the stick the way the wing is down when coming toward me really put it in to perspective and made sense, thanks.
I've been flying RC for 10 years and I still watch your beginner-oriented videos.. Awesome videos and production!
Same
I am learning a lot
Always good to go back to bases basic maneuvering is essential beginners are important to the hobbies I've never flown and got a month to do research I think I'm gonna go with carbon cub S with safe and GPS the RTF version maybe BNF version with dx8 spektrum transmitter I heard carbon cub is great beginner plane or apprentice 1.5
Love the "transmitter cam" - hope you do more of that in the future. Would love to see it on test flights of planes you review.
this channel is the "aquarium co-op" of RC planes, thanks for these great videos!
"When in doubt, throttle out". I'll never forget that line.
You guys are a great help. I just bought a champ and it flies great. This is my first rc plane and I am following your instructions and I am surprised at how easy it is. THANK YOU!!!!!
Awesome guys! A friend has asked me to teach him and his son to fly. I'll be getting them to watch this series before we go out. Clear and fundamental advice, thankyou.
When you lose battery, first the motor will cut out, then you still have a minute or two where the servos still function.
The tabletop metaphor was a god send!!! I have so much trouble right now when the plane is flying towards me
Fantastic info. I've actually learned most of this with a Dx6i and Phoenix Simulator on my computer...I almost never crash now and I can try out all kinds of different planes.
...but real sky will be different, I know.
Hey guys! This is an incredible series! If the part number was at the beginning of the title it would be easier to identify which episode is next when someone isn’t playing these videos from the playlist.
I have watched a ton of vids on this stuff reviews and such but this is the most inforn
mative on flying that i have seen because you guys are not trying to sell me a plane but teach me to fly one . great job much Luck gentlemen.
I'm brand new to RC planes and your videos have been very helpful! Thanks. I do a lot of motorsports and the phrase "When in doubt, throttle out." means the exact opposite of the way you seem to use it. We use it to mean give it throttle and ride out of the problem.
I'm not a beginner, but I still enjoyed your show - keep up the great work!
👍
The technique of turning to find your orientation can not be under emphasized. You will lose orientation eventually. Also, another tip for turning the plane when it is flying towards you is simply turn your body, or just turn your radio, to face away from the plane. Now it is flying away from you, but behind you and use your normal stick movements.
Not a good idea IMHO as it develops into a bad habit and prevents learning the correct method. OK in an emergency to save the plane though.
I learned to fly through using the Phoenix R/C simulator with my Spectrum DX 7, this video series is the soundest / safest and best advice anyone taking up the hobby can get :)
I couldn't have found a more useful video with my first flight pending! Absolutely priceless
I did it so that everyone else could sit back and enjoy this hobby. So everyone breath easy and fly hard. Enjoy
This series is really helping me a lot! Thanks guys!
You guys are nice to hear and a big good help for beginners. Thank you!
Hi! There R not many videos like this in Korea. But I watch this video. I learned how to fly. thx a lot
No one ever mentions a really easy trick to level the wings when the plane is coming towards you! Simply push the right stick in the direction of the low wing! It's really simple and saves lots of planes. Vote this up!
Edit: I jumped the gun a bit, but this should be emphasized more as I see this all the time in newbie flyers and it solved their problems almost immediately.
FT does cover that wing leveling trick at 4:30. The way I learned was by using my imagination and pretending I was inside the cockpit at all times. Another way is to turn your back to the incoming plane while looking over your shoulder at it. I do this sometimes even today when flying helis.
Lil' Josh say exactly that at about 12:20. Vote down for not paying attention.
glassdogangle
Yeah I jumped the gun. Oops.
Great video demo bro! I've been flying for about 20 years now and this is a Great video for new pilots! Great Job guys! Keep up the AWESOME work!
Hey I was just wondering if you could do a video on the bat bone as a y4. And thanks for all that you do. I am a disabled vet with PTSD and this hobby really helps me to keep my mind off of things. Thanks again, Sgt. Stewart.
I wish you had these videos 13 years ago. Good info, keep it up.
UA-cam wasn't even a website back then lol
Nice landing Josh!
awesome series, thanks!
i learned how to fly my plane by crashing it 3 million times and learning not to those mistakes again
Sounds like alot of expensive lessons :(
Best rc comment on UA-cam
Well, there you go
Yeah that's what I was thinking dayyyym that's expensive thinking I'm a recovering addict and alcoholic and that was expensive thinking as well lol
Same
That stick can helped me so much
Great keep it up
great job on your videos, they really helped me on flying my plane
good info guys for people that have just started this hobby.
I went for my first flight in my aeroscout mini yesterday and I realised mid flight if I pitched up too steep the engine cuts out, which was a problem because the reason I pitched up was to avoid a tree, but then I lost power so it stalled and hit the tree instead, most stressful 30 seconds ever.
I eventually got it down with the help of a random guy and his 2nd grade son who was very good at climbing trees lmao
Great video guys, helps a lot. Question I have is, I just got a Champ RTF last week to learn. After a few flights and advice on how to trim from other pilot's it was good. The only thing I don't understand is when I'm flying away or towards me (on 2nd fuselage) it suddenly nose dive drastically and busted motor mount. What causes a plane this light to have that drastic of a dive, wind conditions were perfect, battery had full charge. Thanks for the help.
Congragulations awsome information i haved helped my son because of you guys ty joe cassone
Great training video
Awesome content, will definently help me alot when i get my first plane soon!
Josh & Josh; That was a Really great Video & Thanks for the Video !
Nice landing, Scott!
Very informative
Really nice information for beginners like me. Great job!
You guys should design an edf powered power pod for future edf jets and other planes also have a challenge against David or chad for the design of the first plane in the edf series
Wow..... I'm surprised that this idea didn't gain any traction.
EDF Power Pod - EPIC idea!!
another great one guys. Many thanks again from Noob68.
thanks guys these videos are a great help
First of all, sorry about my english, Im from Spain and its not my main languaje. I have a challenge for you... Can you place a gopro/cam behind the trainers tail for us to see the ailerons, rudder and elevator while flying?
that would be a great point of view but it would greatly unbalance the plane, it would take quite a big plane to be able to do that without critically unbalancing it or to be able to put counter weight in front and not over weighting the plane
Awesome third
Your instructive videos are awesome! I am learning! Do you ever have instruction or flights with electric gliders? I enjoy all your videos!
It's fun to watch the episodes again with subtitles on "Actually, go back and take a nap" (Go back and check them out)
:D
Josh Scott... Great landing
awesome video guys.
Perhaps the correct thing to say would be that the control surfaces appear more sensitive flying into wind but in fact they are as sensitive flying with the wind, non the less control inputs into wind do appear to have a more imeadiate and direct effect to the novice flyer !
Very nice video series. I must comment however that flying into the wind or downwind has no impact on the sensitivity of the controls. The aircraft is flying in the moving body of air and doesn't know (and doesn't care) which way the body of air is moving over the ground. The RC pilot may perceive a change in the aircraft's flight responses because the RC pilot's position is fixed on the ground. The aircraft however happily continues to fly with solely respect to the moving air mass.
Thanks for the reply.I will do the work and try to find it,
Once me and my buddy were flying our planes, they were 1/2a models with no throttle control. I landed and his plane was way out there. He thought he was flying in but he was actually flying away! The plane was a tiny dot and my eyes were better than his so he gave me the radio. I turned and got the orientation and then got it pointed towards us, just barely could tell. I just kept the plane pointed at us and it finally got back to us. That plane must have been half a mile away, maybe even further. Don't let this happen to you!
I regularly fly my plane out so far away even Superman couldn't see it with his super-human vision. Of course I have a live camera on my plane, so that combined with my Return To Home autopilot means I do cheat a little bit...
YES!
I found the "Pietenpol", to be an excellent trainer, because, 1, it's really cheap to buy, & 2, it fly's nice and slow, yet it can fly pretty fast too. OH !!!!, ... & you don't HAVE to have that radiator on. (I think it looks better without it).
I drive a big rig there are a lot of similarities to learning to drive in your mirrors and learning to drive an rc in the two
Just out of curiousity, what would be the reasoning behind only practicing stalls while flying INTO the wind?
My guess would be so the plane fly slower and it make it easier to recover from the stall ( air flowing over the wing as soon as you stop pulling and increase power )
Thanh Pham
The airspeed is the same irrespective of flight direction! Wind only affects ground speed.See glassdogangle's later correct analysis.
FT are not known for their aerodyamics knowledge (as witness their earlier non-current theory of flight). Suggest some editorial control from an experienced thinking modeller before posting videos guys.
Wayne Russell Lower ground speed is exactly why you would want to practice stalls into the wind. If you can't recover you don't want to go fast relative to the ground.
ipariszalonna That is a much better reason than the ones I have been hearing. The key is that flying into the wind only affects groundspeed. It has no bearing on airspeed, or control sensitivity, or any of the other nonsense.
Figure eights are also on the commercial pilot license to test the candidate's response to wind and how he/she corrects it. Same thing with RC.
The Supercub is RAD!!
Great stuff !! Thanks
nice videos, anything about multirotors?
Nice instructionl.
great vid as always
Good video but if you've never flown R/C before, get some instruction on a buddy box, or if you can't get help, practice on a flight simulator until you can control the model safely. (I bet you crash it on the sim first time!!) These guys make it look easy as they know what they're doing and even trainers will punish you when you get mixed up with your lefts and rights or if the model starts to drift away (because it will on your first attempts even in calm conditions). Crashing your model on its first flight will put you off the hobby for life.
Could you guys please make a video on electronics? Because I have a rc super cub that is used but it is not stock and has different electronics and does not have a battery. I have no idea on what to get! Please help.
You bet! This is a 10 Part total series. There will definitely be an episode that helps clarify the relationships of electronics and power systems. Stay tuned :)
FliteTest Thank you, you guys are the best!
and im like: woah. thats easy! thanks Flite Test!!
plz teach inverted and other aerobatics what you can do with 3 channel nice vidds
If you want to do aerobatics you really need four channel. With three you can do a loop
Nice video guys
Did you guys make these episodes in the same week. BC its COLD UP here now.
My rc airplane keeps banking to the left when taking off but when I toss it in the air it flies smoothly. Why is that?
Can you please do a review on the Yak 12 from hobbyking
You said it wrong, Josh. It's pronounced "Flight Characterfishsticks".
hey review the hobbyzone firebird delta ray plz
I have a rookie pilot question. would a f949 Cessna 182 RC plane would be able to carry a GoPro? would it damage my plane or would it be fine and just kill the battery allot quicker from the extra weight?
James Santana if your motor will put that thing from the ground the handling of plane will be slower, because you need to change direction of bigger weight, also then mounting a camera watch for CG
NO!
Can you explain to me a little bit more about how if you bring the throttle to a 100% on a low battery you can puff the battery. What does puff the battery mean?
Depends on the plane, your manual should have something, and puff the battery means have it go out
+Riker Wilson nope, the battery swells up and can catch fire, ive had it swell up twice
So what if you hook up a dog collar with a tracker so you dint loose it, would that affect the airplane?
You should have a visual on your plane at all times. And that would add a lot of unnecessary weight
VERY NICE FLYING SIR , SIR A i ALSO WANT TO LEARN FLYING . IT IS HOW CAN POSSIBLE? PLS REPLY SIR
What you youse to make plane goes left and right? Rudder on the left or ailerouns on the right?
Left: rudder left or airleon stick left then elevator stick down, turning right is the opposite but you still put the elevator stick down, and of course, when it's coming towards you its all opposite e.g turning left with the rudder is pushing the rudder stick right etc, but remember elevator stick down doesn't change when turning with the airleons.
+Harrythefish35 thanks
Are you going to be doing a quadcopter beginners video?
good job
I am currently trying to start off, but I am using a plane with safe. I would like to know a bit about turning without safe.
Does banking turn the plane or do I need rudder input as well?
Dont reley only on banking, so have bolth.
flite test,why can't you do a desing series.which say how to design a rc plan,lick the beginner series.and you are good
nice video.. why dont you make a video for beginner glider pilot,, specially how to build a perfect glider,, thank you
Hey guys! I am ordering a Bixler 2 from HobbyKing for christmas this year. I was wanting to get a good radio that is compatible with the hobby king receiver that the rtf version comes with, what is a good radio under 75$? Also i wand to try some FPV with it. Recommendations?
the rtf version comes with a radio and receiver, im pretty sure it says it comes with both
rossyallen2 i know but im wanting a better one
Hi Guys can you tell me if there is a flight simulator that works with a Mac.
Free sim CRRCsim has a Mac version. They won't let me link to it here, so you'll have to search yourself. It's hosted at Sourceforge.
Alex Swavely
Thanks brother,
i will do my part and try to find it.
I wish i had watched these videos earlier and probably would not have wrecked my F939, 4 Channels micro RC plane.
SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!!!!!!!!
guys i need all the electronics .pls where can I get them ?
Hey guys at flite test or anybody in the comments,
What plane are you guys taking off in the air and landing? I really want to build that. Do you have a build video on it? Let me Know. Thanks
Super cub s? I think
description is incorrect. Was copy and paste from old episode.
What plane is the one you guys were flying on this episode?
super cub lp
Control surface sensitivity has nothing to do with the wind direction.
Hi i want to buy this airplane but I want to know if ther are parts that I could buy if I crash the airplane
Guys plz tell me how to do an plane with mini coreless motor with air foil wing
I don't have a lot of money to spend on rc aircraft. I don't have anything that you need to fly. What is the best cheap setup that I can use to get into the hobby.
+Hayden Clish I've made the cheapest possible list of electronics:

what is the name of this plane & what i need battery,esc ect
QUICK TIP... SHow us how your TX CAMERA rig is made... PLEASE
why is it that when I give full throttle on my trainer from hobbyking I fly up ? Cg is good
That's pretty normal. If your plane flies faster it gets more lift so it flies up. If you fly full throttle most of the time trim the elevator down so it flies straight with full throttle.
do you have to have full throttle to fly?
No. Full throttle is for take off. Get her up and back off the throttle to half, the battery lasts longer (longer flight) and if you are at full you get into trouble faster.
