ALWAYS! Transmitter on --> receiver on. Reciever off -->transmitter off. This prevents the receiver from picking up 'strange signals', and your model taking on a life of its own.
The bf109 comes from a series of pretty neat planes. Intermediate mode tends to fly best, in beginner mode the control authority might be too low to make tight enough turns to stay out of trouble. Expert mode is tricky, usually these planes are not extremely well trimmed, so as soon as you switch to expert mode, the plane might pitch up, or start rolling to either side. In this mode, there is no gyro assist, it's pure manual flight
So I have the same plane but a different model. As a beginner switch the mode all the way forward this will limit the turn and the up down quite a bit. But it allows you to get a feel for the plane. I love mine so much I ordered a second one again different model. I have the p48 and the Corsair. Enjoy them and maybe give a shot of oil especially on ,motor and servos. Also these do have rudder also take the throttle and go left and right .
Why would you launch the 109, not understanding the mode switch, when you had the instruction book there? The Volantex and Eachine warbirds (essentially the same) are excellent models - but nobody would learn that from your video. I guess I was luckier than you with your delivery problem, but I had one stuck in a tree for 6 weeks through torrential winter storms. When it was eventually retrieved, I popped in a new battery and I am still flying it. By the way, you didn't refit the propeller correctly. If you look carefully at the white nylon disk, it has a flat spot. You need to ensure that goes between the claws. Popping it back in, without looking at the alignment, is asking for it to disconnect in flight.
To be honest didnt notice the switch until i started recording in the moment. I could give a thousand reason why i missed it but you correct i should have spent more time before making the video. In the future I have already started to plan on testing and using the RC off camera to get use to them so i can point out issues or pluses with the products and lean away from the whole box openning. Thank to the comments I am slowly learning on what to do and not to do when i put out a video. On your plane that's awesome it survived being stuck in the tree and rain they seem to be little durable things. Even the one I crash in the lake is still doing fine. I did dry it out after the video and lubricated it though. Last part I just looked at the propeller on mine and there is no flat spot on the disk it perfectly round and has three retainers on the part it clips to. Maybe a difference in manufacture or copy cat designs from overseas? Thanks for watching and appreciate the feed back.
