I'm cynically optimistic that the current Boeing SNAFU will eventually lead to a change of staff in the FAA, considering they're the ones who signed off on that debacle. That's gotta be a pretty serious embarrassment that someone is (eventually) going to be told to step down for, just to save face. Yes, I know this comment is 2 years late to the party...
In my full scale days, I saw that pilots with no RC background tended to underestimate many dangers because extreme situations were just theory to them. They had never experienced things like unflyable CG or overwhelming turbulence in real life, something most modellers do on a regular basis.
Real-world private pilot here just sold my full-scale airplane and switching over to rc due to ridiculous high cost. My plan is to eventually do fpv off it. Hopefully rc will satisfy my flying passion.
I fly ppl A here in norway, i allso had my own cessna 172 1963 mod. Sold it becouse of many rools from the EU . To much cash for a privat pilot. But in the en it gives me allot of 100$ waffel . So now back to rc planes. And its fun for real. Nice video once again boys. Grettings from Norway

I just sold my real airplane becuase it's ridiculously expensive now, including ultralights. Ultralight flying used to be affordable but not anymore, so I'm switching to fpv rc. Problem is the regulations are getting as complex as full-scale aircraft.
I'm at the that point where I'm seriously interested in changing careers from Engineer to Commercial Pilot. I've been flying RC for a few years and been seriously bit by the flying bug. What did you do to get into full scale and what advice (if any) do you have for making the transition? This is my favorite RC channel BTW! I like how you guys show your mistakes and your realistic approach to everything - not to mention how your channel conveys just how fun the hobby is. Would like to see more of product reviews. I trust your word over everyone else's. They seem to just be sales people for their sponsors.
Thanks for the support! Find any local mom and pop flight schools (avoid the big name pilot churners) and try and find an instructor who isn't about to leave for the regionals. Do intro flights at a few schools and pick which one you like most that fits your personality, and especially the same for finding an instructor. Check out our video titled, "20 Ways RC Preps You For Full Scale" if you haven't seen that yet either. 👍
Alot of R/C planes, jets, & helos, can & will get into several thousand dollars just for one aircraft model. . . .depending on the size of the aircraft, what all ya have into them, & including the transmitter radios & the powerplants. . . jet turbine engines like the PH-5 Jet Cats.
@@truckerray7533 if it makes you happy and put a smile on your face than it well worth it. Also you don’t need thousands of dollar, they have ready to fly package for couple hundreds bucks
The FAA are doing their best to put an end to our rc fun and simplicity.
😥
Amen the government can’t stand simplicity or fun

This is the most earth-shatteringly BASED radio control channel to ever grace our hobby. Video after video of unique takes backed by flawless facts 👌
Thanks for the support! ❤️
Then there is a middle ground, which is paragliding, you are on the aircraft and as long as you are careful you can look for good adventures.
Well done!!! I couldn't agree with you more. I love this video!!

Dont forget you can also fly types of aircraft that you could never IRL. Fighter aircraft, Jets, expensive or rare prop aircraft etc.

Your UA-cam channel is fantastic! Your website sucks
How did you turn this awesome hobby into a career?
you should redo a video like this with the new audio
Based content 🥂

Sorry for the stambling in the coment
Amezing video 👍👍
Great job guys!
I’m gonna have to go with the full scale fighter being the most fun in aviation. And somebody else paid for it! But, once that gravy train was over……
Great stuff guys!! Nice to see some fresh content. My fav hobby!! love the flying style and editing quality. Keep it coming!
Wait, Zac, yours actually a pilot? 😎

Glad you liked it! It’s words we try and live by.
I wanna be a real pilot but idk if I’ll ever have the money! I want to joint a glider club first. I think that would be a better intro to flying.

Still less expensive to fly RC 😁
@@TailHeavyProductions Yeah, but a whole lottuh green paper invested in one model though. . . . yikes!!!
