Abby has only Maidened two RC Planes ever before this and they were MUCH smaller than the Mini Apprentice S RTF so nerves are at an all time high! Not only that, but today happens to be a very windy day!! Can Abby successfully maiden this Ready To Fly Electric RC Plane with NO HELP from Nate?! This should be a fun video!!

Nope, says oops
@@BravoJulietAlpha yep
Abbey doesn’t give herself enough credit. That was a fine flight, and a decent landing considering the wind.
She's a trooper isn't she!
Let's put it this way: I'd love to see Nate try to twirl fire batons the way Abby can 😃
great job Abby, the saying goes, if you can't fly in the wind, you can't fly. there's always going to be wind.. you did a great maiden.... good luck from windy Colorado....
Great job, Abby! You always get so nervous and fly so high. You are a better pilot than you give yourself credit for. The smaller planes are much more difficult to fly than large ones. Just pretend your flying a small plane and you'll do great. You are a great pilot!
Cool maiden flite Abby! Thanks RadGirl/Jen for the great drone footage!
Good job Abby two people even gave you an inverted thumbs up!
Hey Rc Saylors, I joined your channel today because of this video. As soeone who has been involved in the RC hobby for 42 years It Awesome to see couples Enjoying the hobby together, And to Abby, Great Job You handles that wind great, You should be proud, and Nate should be proud to have such a great wife who enjoys the hobby as well. thanks ...
I really liked it. I started to fly a few days ago with a smaller, 3ch model. Now I’m thinking about getting the Mini Apprentice as a first 4ch model. Your video was encouraging. Thx
Great Job Abby, I have over 40 years flying experience, I just flew a Mini Apprentice yesterday for the first time. There was an 82 year old gentleman who showed up at our field looking for some flight training with the Mini Apprentice. My initial impressions are that anything above 1/4 - 1/3 throttle and the plane just wanted to climb like a homesick angel, In fact on my maiden I used all the available down trim and it still wanted to climb. I landed and made some mechanical adjustments to the elevator pushrod to add some down, the next flight was better but it still wanted to climb, even with no throttle it wanted to climb, the hardest thing about flying this plane is that it does not want to land, you have to put a lot of down stick input in to get it to land, sorry you're just going to have to get used to putting in down input. Anyway after a little more mechanical adjust it flew a little better, not want to climb as much, but still wanting to climb. Oh yeah the 82 year gentleman without any prior R/C experience was able to land on his first flight.
Way to go Abbey! Im still pretty new myself and HATE flying in heavy wind.. you feel beat up afterwards and its not so enjoyable..lol
Sock actually worked quite well as a dead-cat! Smells kinda funny but no wind noise!
hello from France, I love to follow your videos despite the language barrier, I have been following you for 2 years
Fantastic flying Abby especially with the wind!! Excellent video!!
Great job flying Abby! Especially in that wind!,
Thanks for the beginner series guys!! Because of your videos I cut my teeth on and bought quite a few quadcopters. Love the sport and looking forward to getting my first plane in the spring. "Radgirl" perspective is totally awesome!!!!!
Abby you did great. I teach newbies how to fly. I always use the mini Apprentice or the Apprentice. I have had hundreds of flights. You flew in the top 5 percent of all the students I have taught. I teach to fly two mistakes high and you were just about right. Fly on high rates and practice small movements on the sticks. Without safe you rarely need full stick deflection to fly. Your hubby has already told told you this I am sure. Great job . Blue skys.
Well done Abby you did well in difficult conditions for you, what has to be remembered is difficult conditions very with different levels of confidence.
Nicely done Abby you cracked it.
Superb job Abby! :D
I fly the Apprentice s15e and i'm a beginner like you and its a perfect aircraft to start off into this fun hobby.. superb job handling the wind too
I can’t believe there isn’t any snow. I like this plane. Flies great in the wind
Thanks!! Yeah this is a current video, flown and recorded today!! 👍⚓😎
Good job Abby. Remember, throttle = altitude. Too high, less throttle. Too low, more throttle. Trust me this will help.
Your doing a great job Abby dont be afraid!! Good luck
Flying in the wind, that was very good.
I love how she held the plane like a fish
Way over priced for a plane with elasticated bands to keep the wings on the hobby cheaper and far more superior in my opinion
@@kelvinbloomfield6545 Can you share some examples for more affordable trainer planes with characteristics,? i am looking for one for me a my 9y old to learn more of flying.
thanks
A suggestion: Instead of flying in circles fly in eights. That way you turnd both left and right. And great job Abby, just got to work a little on those nerves, and learn the layout of the transmitter so you can find the trims without looking. That makes life easier.
You did great considering the cold and wind! Can't wait to see you both in the air flying together! Big props to you guys for braving the elements to give us our daily dose of r.c sailors!👍👍👽⚓🛩
Abby, Great job on a very windy day! I being a new flyer myself I don't fly in that much wind. That was awesome keep going.
Guys it was fun to watch.....Semper Fi
good job Abby you got to give your self more credit you can fly better than you think
That was brill....well done Abby... my next plane. My 2nd. is going to be the mini apprentice s.... thanks to the both of you.. really appreciated.keep safe. kind regards Dave..
Great job Abby, your better than you think you are. Helps to have the Bob Ross of RC planes by your side with that gentle encouraging advice!
Aww, ya did fine Abby! Turning into the wind always causes a tendency to climb, ya just need to practice small elevator movements to compensate.
That was a successful flight. The Chaser footage was awesome too. Congrats!
Great flying!! The drone chase was a nice touch as well,wish I could fly but its -50 degrees Celsius here lol
Safe will push your plane higher . It's ok to glide the plane in with wind like that. I get crabby flying in wind like this. Good job Abby!
The sock worked great!!
Abby is awesome she shouldn't second guess herself so much love both of you guys. You guys make my day I look forward to watching and seeing what you guys are doing next so thank both of you
Great flight Abby! Any maiden landing in the wind is a success. Great video 👍
That's a big plane!!! (I'm gonna have to go back to weekend viewing! My school brake is over until summer! But I'll try to catch up as much as possible!) Thanks for the great content!⚓👍⚓
Very nice job, Abby. Inspiring to me. Thank you.
Great maiden, Abby. And good to see the drone footage from Radgirl. :)
Good thing I don't have smellivision...with Abby's sock on the mic...lol...she did great !
Good job Abby ! , hey it was super windy don't sweat it.
Just think next time you fly that plane on a calm day it Wil seem easy.
😁👍😘
Abby you did awesome. I just hope when I get my mini Apprentice that I do as good as you. I tried to fly my Champ today but it was too windy here for it and Sitting on the ground the wind flipped it and cracked the wing so I never got the Champ in the air today. I plan on buying the ready to fly version of the Mini Apprentice.
That was a good flight. I had a few landings like that, where I went on the nose, with my Sport Cub. Still waiting for a calm day where I can go to the park and try it again! Sure it could be flone at home in the experienced mode, but I'm definitely not there yet.
Don't feel bad Abby my friend has this plane and he's new to the hobby and I flew his plane and it glides forever with no wind I think you did great!
Good job Abby! Wind can be intimidating :)
I know exactly how you feel. I have this plane and all it wants to do is climb, climb, climb in the wind. Great job.👍👍
Any landing that doesn't involve a trash bag is a good landing!!!!
nice plane and great flying Abby
I love this video. I was trying to fly a 172 by my aunt so I'm all about women pilots. And I love seeing RC in the high winds too many Pilots are scared of the Wind.
I love these videos every time I want to buy a rc vehicle i come here and I’m going to watch some more videos to find another drone or plane for me to fly
Great job Abby😁
Amazing flying Abby!
Also flew this plane the first time today and omg I was sooooooo nervous😅😱
but it survived and I had fun👍
I can confirm(coming from a beginner level pilot) that maidening a plane is hard along with wind. What a challenge!
10 days and we will be in southern Florida. No more cold East Tennessee winter days! All year good weather!
You did very well Abbey👍✈😎
Well done Abby and nice flying in that strong wind ,
I JUST got a carbon sport per your recommendation. I’ve never flown before, but I’m excited to take my maiden. These videos are super helpful. It’s still pretty windy here in Ohio but as soon as there’s a break in the weather, I’m going to fly that thing!
Abbey you really did a great job flying!!! That wind sounded out rages!!! Thanks for pointing out that plane coming to you thing would be backwards!!!
The audio really stank - lol - sock as microphone wind barrier - way to take one for the team on a cold day Abby. Hope Nate stopped wearing his sandals and has on some proper footwear. Great maiden Abby - glad to see you're getting more comfortable flying again.
Hmm_ I did not get any of her being in the comfort zone at all, Joel. But as I have been a follower for MANY years, going way back to about Nov.-Dec. 2012, I can say she IS much better, but hopefully she will stop allowing the plane to keep gaining altitude as it comes towards her - always does that. If she would just listen to Nate she would fly much better. But again, she has improved a TON over the last few years.
Thanks Nate and Abby for the video, almost all day today it's been - 6 below zero here in Anchorage Alaska 👍
Great job, both of you! Nice work on the sticks Abby, and good job on the camera & mic Nate!
Job Abby you got it girl
Great job Abby
Lol....great job Abby. So funny to see how timid you are on planes, and reck it Ralph on ground vehicles...lol
Well done Abby. It was a good flight in those conditions, and now its just going up from here...FYI as we talked about the stickers the other night, guess what turned up the following day.
I have the same plane and maiden it in the same weather and actually ended up the same way as you on my 1st landing but I broke my prop. Great job!!
Perfect umx Timber, umx Waco, Flex 300 or Logo 600 weather
Dam this is the plane I want. Does anyone else have it?? She did great. I was nervous watching her fly it. Every time she turned into the wind the climb was taking it. Would really hate to see a beautiful plane like that get taken by the wind. Great flight Abby. I want that plane. Dandahermit
Good job Abby
The great trainer plane is coming back this June (2021)! And it will be an upgraded version (S 2) with a new smart ESC and IC3 connector!
Try putting a pop sickle stick between the rear of the wing and the fuselage. It changes the angle of attack making the plane less of a kite.
Very nice flight Abby!!! :-)
Great Job!,Great flight. But I really loved the Axial hoodie!!
Double thanks! Yeah this hoodie was just released. Couldnt resist!! Its for sale on the same website linked where the plane is sold 👍⚓😎
Great flight! Keep up the good work and keep practicing. The Spektrum AS3X SAFE technology is perfect for windy conditions and I'm very grateful for it with my AeroScout (which I bought after being convinced by your video that it would be a great airplane - and you were right!).
Happy Landings!
Well done abby,that was difficult in that kind of wind,you did better than you think.😉
Great job Abby! Neat looking plane!
I am hoping to get in to RC plains as a beginner this year but the only problem is every time I come to look at your Chanel you have a different beginner plain so I don’t no witch one to get 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I love your channel 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Can we deduct from Nates comments about Abbys dead sock that Abby has "dead" feet?:D lol
You're doing great Abby. It looks like you have a good "connection" with the controls, a good feel if you like. I fully get where you're coming from with the nervousness, but as Nate says, don't worry. IF, and simply, IF you crash, so what? Things can be fixed and all we do is laugh it off. As a vet flyer, I will give you this advice. Think less and relax. The more you think and tense up, the less contact you will have with the plane. Don't forget that while things can obviously go wrong, fact is that in terms of reaction times, you have more than one might think. I know it's easy to sit on this side being Mr. Clever, but it's just suggestions.
I have a buddy of mine whom got into rc planes about two years ago, and he had a few mishaps, so now he's anxious about flying. We found that it works well for him to go by himself for a bit before, and basically clear his mind, a bit of focusing and relaxation. Again, consider the fact that there are limits as to how bad things can go, and remember that if things go pear shaped, you do have time to think and correct. Panic only serves to remove focus and speed things up. If the plane does something funny, so what? The sticks are right there, and all you need is a small input. You have all the time in the world and you can make several corrections within a second. You'll get it Abby, don't worry, I'm sure Nate will concur with me. Looking at your flying, it is easy to see that you have a good feel for flying. Sometimes you see people whom are simply not "wired" for it. Can they learn ut? Yes, but it will never become second nature and they will never be good at it. That's not you. You fly well and it's easy to see that it comes natural to you. You need to break down what ever barrier it is you have, that makes you tense up and "panic". I'm aware that your eyesight plays into it, I have a similar issue, but still. Try to find a calm place inside, as that will increase your reaction times, your focus, and ultimately your enjoyment.
You're good at it and you'll get even better. Enjoy the flying and enjoy the crashes. I still crash after 25 years of flying, and all it hurts is the wallet and my pilot pride - who cares lol. Are there positives to crashing? Yup. Hours of laughing and funny stories to tell:)
Have a great RC week guys:)
SUPER ABBY You re my HERO Girl Power
Nice hand on the stick Abbey, you guys are great, I'm trying to find me a larger RTF to get in some stick time before I start flying my T 45 goshawk. I been watching all your best of videos I think I need a bigger like 3 channel or 4 I've got 2 acres to fly on with no instructions just don't want to get a bunch tied up in. Thanks best wishes Mark
Great Video! Nice job Abby, Jen, and Nate! 😀✈👍
That’s quick thinking right there (dead sock,) I had to do that on a shoot but with both socks off. Haha!
Way to go abby nice flight guys!!!
Great job. It's rarely fun flying on very windy days, especially for newer pilots.
We had a flying site with car track like that in Fremont, near the Tesla factory. We lost it around 2010 and Tesla developed the land. I'm stuck with flying tiny park flyers now. :-(
P.S.... Speaking of tiny, thanx for the excellent Ultrix video. You convinced me. It arrives tomorrow. ;-)
1:14 The audio smells baby powder fresh from Abby's sock.
Great little plane from what I can see for a first plane? Just trying to get hold of one here in the Uk seems impossible as they wont ship it.
It would be great if you could somehow kill the noise from the drone and hear the plane in the air
Great flight Abby, Gusty wind is challenging.My friend lost orientation and his plane kept on going,never to be seen again. I lost my Champ S and started flying a different plane. 10 minutes later I looked up and the Champ S was circling above me,l forgot about the GPS .
Nice flight, Abby, in less than perfect conditions. Good job, Kiddo.
Another great video Sailors. Awsome job Abbey! I think I'd love to get a plane. I'm really a rc car guy but that looks super fun!
SWEET PLANE!! AWESOME job, ABBY, on the maiden 👍👍👍👍👍!! I felt cold for you! Nate GREAT camera work!! Thanks Saylors for making another great video!! 💟👍😘
Mine didn't fly 😐 It arrived Monday. I put it together, tried the controls, motor runs. All looks OK. Beautiful day Sunday. Calm, Sunny, Warm. Took it out to the flying field. Checked the controls, all looks fine. Throttle it up... groan groan groan it makes about 60rpm. Took the cowl off to see if something was wrong with the motor and the black wire dropped off the motor 🙄 I'm a technical guy, but that looks beyond my soldering ability. Horizon says pack it up and send it back. Maybe next Sunday?
Well Done Abby Cool 😎
And your sock worked great what a terrible day weather wise
Great Job Abby!!
I sympathize with her. I just got this plane and crashed it because I couldn’t get it to come down. Fortunately they sell all the parts.
I get nervous flying my nicer planes always... its a mental thing....
Nice alot of wind this day 😄, in Sweden we have like 26 mph gust wind.
Want to switch, fly it here on Oahu?! Just a little 🌧 but mostly 🌤☀️ nice and warm.. I kinda miss the cold weather, 7 yrs in Lewiston, Idaho. I miss 🌨❄️ lol. Anyway, another great video!! 🤙🏽
