niallrbroome Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 i think you could be right, it seems really un-responsive. might get the flat one from the sky hawk (?) to see if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niallrbroome Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) well the electrics are out of the glider, took it out today and snapped another prop almost straight away..... put my final spare on, went to launch it and the tail just fell apart.... snapped clean off, i havent even landed on the tail once! so got stressed and threw it across the field (most flight time its had lol) breaking even more of the tail. so now i am looking for another plane that i can put my electrics in (pref not another glider) and wondered what you would suggest? i was thinking like something like this i know as a starter i should be getting something with the wings ontop but will something like this be any good for a beginner as it looks quite stable cheers oh and i know for the second plane i will need better gear lol Edited April 22, 2011 by niallrbroome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being funny here , but you get what you pay for... Those cheap planes / glider aimed at beginners are not really for beginners, as you have to change / mod something or other on them for them to fly right.. Yeah...

niallrbroome Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Talk to these fella's... Guernsey Model Club They'll help you out... hey mate, only just seen your post yeh i work with a guy that has been flying most of his life 40+ years (RC and the real thing) i have been talking with him and getting some tips and just generally doing some re-search. i went away, calmed down and got myself a sim. so much better now (on the sim) when first on it i couldnt go in a straight line lol now i can take off, fly around in a circle, come back in towards me (which took a bit of learning that the controls were flipped when flying towards me) and land all without a hitch (mind you i have spent pretty much all the easter holiday on it lol) started the sim with me watching the plane from about 3 foot behind it and have gradually gotten further away and am now flying from the pilots (on the ground not in the cockpit) view without too many problems, still the odd crash here and there but mainly when i am arsing about trying to do loops lol thinking of giving my glider another go (if i can find another v tail...) before i buy anything else, now that i sort of know what i am doing i should be a bit more confident and a bit better with the controlls, at least that way if i stack it again i havent lost anything.. cheers Niall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyj3d Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 ive gotta say the sim is a good learning tool even after 15 yrs of flying im still using the the sim to try new stuff out on b4 i try it on the real thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
