Hooked on RC Airplanes!
Hello, My name's Matt and I'm hooked on RC airplanes...
It was at the family 4th of July cookout nearly 10 years ago when my uncle pulled out his tiny foam electric powered Cub and sent it buzzing through the air...
I will never forgot the words he uttered as he handed me the controller..
"Here, wanna fly it?"
Three days later I was holding an Aerobird My very first RC Airplane!
Learning to Fly...About three fuselages, five sets of wings, and many frustrating weeks later I could fly her like a champ! Truth is, I went through a lot of money and frustration that wasn't necessary. As
a matter of fact, most people that attempt learning to fly radio
controlled airplanes on their own wind up throwing in the towel before
reaping the benefits... Do yourself a huge favor and learn how to fly RC airplanes the smart way! You'll be glad you followed this advice when greasing that landing on your first solo flight... Maybe that's a stretch... But it's definitely possible! |
