Been flying for a year. Yes I'm still an ultra newbie. Your vids are soooo useful to all of us just beginning, and us that have been crashing for a while ;)
I have this exact plane, it flies so easy and wonderful. Horizon Hobbies and E-flite are one of the best RC companies and publishers ever. Awesome part-support, service and products, most of my planes and heli's are from them. The P51-D, the Blade mCPx, the Supercub LP etc.....all great products. Never stop, brothers.
These are the best training videos ever made, l gave away all my gas planes 20+ years ago when l moved but want to get back into the Hobby without all the mess and expense. This is a new beginning for me and you guys are funny as ever, great group of people to be around.
So two days ago I bought an RC helicopter from a local radio shack out of an impulse buy while messing with it I was watching videos on others which led me to your guys's channel and I wanted to let you all know that your videos are awesome! Really have me interested in R/C flying hobby and I am really looking forward to advancing. I really want to do FPV flying! Anyway I just wanted to let you all know how much of an awesome job you all do and you just made a huge fan with in two days out of an impulse buyer, haha and hopefully soon an FPV flyer like yourselves. Again thank you all for your videos, keep it up!
You guys make these you tube clips worth watching great instructions and explaining on all the importance of begainning a flight thats great guys keep up with the great work and I really enjoy watching your tutorials
excellent job guys I got into this hobby over 55 years ago and nobody there by my side telling me what to do it was fly it or crash it. Most was the last at the beginning. Have many years of. Try building a balsa kit the hobby becomes even better. Nothing better to clear the mind. Have fun
LABELING!!! My last super cub blew away this past spring, and I'm pretty sure I would still have it had I labelled it. So simple, yet so crucial... Thanks guys!
Love the Beginner Series. Finally, someone is showing us from the beginning. I don't mind the sunglasses. It's not demeaning but necessary for good eye health.
I definitively like this beginner series. I'm searching for a new hobby. Gaming and sitting at a PC makes me dull. This series is perfect for me. Even though I don't know yet if I like to build and fly RC-planes or quadcopters, some categories (as R/C) are similar. I think I'll watch the whole series and begin to build a foam-model with my son over the winter. I'm from germany and it's sad that I can't find such a detailed guide in german. But to understand you is no problem once one understands the R/C - specific words (german words in brackets): - aileron (Quer-Ruder) - elevator (Höhen-Ruder) - rudder (Seiten-Ruder) - BEC etc
Awesome advice. 70% of what you're talking about I had NO IDEA. will next time. Not having that idea cost me m first plane ... simply flying away ... So now I taxi down the hall at home and back towards me. Reverse navigation is not easy if you've never even though about it. This series is a must for any noobs like me ... before we kill off planes. That's just no fun at all.
Just got a couple minutes of flying in today and I was scared to launch by hand it was surprisingly easy. thank you for getting me into the hobby I plan to make a 2 channel Catalina and someday hope to come down to flite fest atleast once. ~mike
This has been such a valuable series to me! Very well done and great topics. This video helped me tremendously, as I had been having all kinds of problems learning to fly. Your practice exercises were exactly what I needed, I've gone through 4 1C batteries just doing the take off and landing practice. I'm now up to making some turns and not smashing my plane into a million pieces! Really happy with my incremental progress! Thanks guys!!
redstone craft guy yeah. I've got a few actually. Problem is all of them are belly landers so when I put gears on my spitfire it turned out that I am terrible at landing.
Nice beginner series! I'm not a beginner any more but do enjoy these vids. I also like how Josh holds his thumb on the throttle as a safety meassure. I do that as well, all the time when a battery is connected but I do not want to fly. That is a really good habit to have.
I started out a couple years ago with a guy that was way farther into this hobby than I was. I ended up spending a bunch of money and the fun went out. I just got back into it and have splurged on a spektrum dx6. I bought two radian gliders a big one and a small one. I'm looking forward to some nice slow flights and lots of fun. Maybe one day a sweet Stryker but slow for now. Great videos
I don't know if it's just a coincidence or that great minds think alike, but I sent in a suggestion last week hoping you would include split screen elements in a video. I got to say, this turned out brilliantly, even better than I imagined. Now I'd love to see one on aerobatics as I mentioned. Kudos!
This helped ALOT with my C17 especially when landing I had trouble few rounds but did it the third! It’s just on hard surfaces the wheels get damaged but it works perfectly 10/10 (note:I fixed the wheels to a type that won’t get damaged on landing)
U Speak on my level I UNDERSTAND if I can learn from your video's U have accomplished something every teacher I ever have had lost sleep over or should have Thanks Charlie
I just yesterday crashed a cessna 182. I was flying then the wings just popped off. I saw a video that they did that but i bought it anyways thinking meh what are the chances. Next thing you know its crashing down with no wings to solid cement.
Thanks a lot for ALL your videos! And thanks again, they are extremely helpfull to me as a beginner rc airplane pilot. Keep up the good works, as the saying goes! Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium
I love this series and love this channel if i had this when i got into the hobby i wouldn't have killed half my planes.I was wondering though if in the future say after you finished with beginner planes you might do a Quad/tricopter series like this i have wanted to get started flying quads for a bit now and it's a little confusing the motors,props weights even flight patterns as different copters fly different ways. it would be awesome if you would do a series just like this for beginner copter enthusiasts.
JackDaniels2535 I have Flown Quadcopters for 2 years. It very easy if you have lots of RC Plane experience. One fruit of advice when setting it up. Do not reset your flight board. It will wipe it and you will have to get a new one. I learned that the hard way, thankfully the person I bought the parts and drone off of knew it might happen and had spare for one for me. I use Cleanflight for the program
I know this video shows a buddy launching the plane, but if you hand launch your own plane, and as a right-handed flier, I found it’s a good habit to hand launch with my left hand, while keeping control of the transmitter’s right stick - elevator. I end up with much smoother launches than throwing the plane into the air, and then reaching down to find the stick while watching the plane.
+Julian Mackay As it's Your first plane, I'd suggest You start with FT Flyer. It'd lasts longer before You need serious repairs to it, so You learn more flying. There is a build video for it, they show some on connecting stuff. And I think they have a separate episode on electronics too.
when your range testing and have a friend to help, its better to get one walk out 30 paces with the plane hold it up and spin around slowly, its quicker and your friend can also tell you if it fails or not
I know it's really hard to figure out what is just basics and what's more advanced but I feel like there's one major thing beginners need to know that was left out of this video. That thing is relying on throttle more than elevator when Landing until the very last moment. Using throttle to control rate of descent and keeping the aircraft mostly level. On a trainer it's more forgiving so you can chop your throttle and glide it in to land but as soon as you move past trainers you need to know how to land while carrying throttle.
You guys make my day every time you release a video...amazing content, none like it...minor issue I have, is that you guys did not mention safety which I think should come first. My first flights were no stressful and I almost injured someone...I also had no idea that I was flying in a kind of restricted airspace. Anyways, please cover this, we don't want anyone getting hurt ;)
The best way to learn how to fly RC planes is to go out to your local flying field and meet the pilots who have been flying for a long time. Talk to them and ask them questions. Im sure you will find many who will be more than happy to help you out and lead you the right direction and maybe some one has a buddy box there that will let you use to fly their plane and teach you a thing or two. DONT EVER EVER settle for the advice of the hobby shop unless you know him very well. if this is your passion, save up the money and buy the best radio you can afford, as for the plane, see if you can find a GOOD USED plane or if you just want a new one, build your first plane, believe me it will pay off down the road, especially if your going to crash and I am 100% sure you will, you will know how to rebuild it.
SN1350 I Bought the SE Biplane from the store. Saw the video looks like the Plane handles really well for a 3 channel. I have 2 years of Hobby drone experience and the worst thing I did was accidentally wiping the flight board data rendering it useless right on day one starting out. Is a Naze A380 controller a good one to start with? That’s what I use with the drones
good video guys, helps a lot. Hell I'd say 90% of RC flight is understanding the electronics, transmitor, batter, charger, binding......etc etc....... Sort of a bummer. Good pilots have natural skills eye to hand. I think part of you two might agree. Agaiin , solid video to help us out.
As an addition to my previous post. Maybe it's a nice idea to have a video about "on the field safety, around and on the airstrip" where things such as thumb on throttle are adressed?
a question please, if your transmitter batteries get weak will your range decrease a little at a time as they get weaker or will the transmitter keep working to a certain point and then cut out all at once ?
Looove this series as I am determining what beginner plane I want I've never flown probably gonna get the carbon cub S or a EDF f16 BNF with a spektrum dx8 I've never flown but did race and tinker with RC cars 15yrs ago or so but new to planes but I'm gonna go ahead and buy a good transmitter I can get comfortable with and grow into like the dx8 and be able to bind it to future planes
New to this hobby but had a ? Is the Rudder control normally on the Right stick? 5:35 on the video shows your rudder on the right. Simulators position it on the Left stick horizontal and throttle left stick vertical.
You guys got me reeealy excited to start with this hobby :) my only problem is im from South Africa and this type of hobby is not so popular here. So I would have to buy eveything online. I saved up to buy a 4channel radio, FT3d speedbuild kit and some electronics but im unsure what to buy and compatability issues and how to connect the wires. Can you maby make a video on connecting the motor and servos to the reciever ect. :)
Will you guys eventually do a beginners video about FPV? I know you did one about general equipment and frequencies but I built the batbone and I'm gonna use it for FPV but I don't know what tx/rx you guys use for your tricopters. All the tx I've seen have been pretty large. If it matters I wanna try and use 5.8 GHz.
Brand spanking new to rc planes.. But have been running rc trucks and boats for on and off for about 15yrs... Got a wild hair, with no experience just fever, i bought a carbon cub s+. Giving credit my toy is smart id say, im gliding around like a pro... Funny part.. Id never had any interest in flying rc. Now that i am.... I almost feel like i could careless for the grounded toys 😆 thank you for the videos... Filling my lack of experience. I was flyin as soon as my batteries were hot!
12:14 So is that caused by the propeller turning at speed or what? So do they mean hold it up in the air with your hand and apply throttle to check the trim? I'm new but I would figure you would need to take off to adjust the trim
So I was thinking on buying this plane: Playmate Micro RTF and I'm a beginner to the plane hobby thing too. Also, I was looking over on how to fly it and I came by this now I feel kinda scared or so to say, about flying it because I'm worried I might break it.
Mystro Channel Yeah don’t learn unless your break a few. I started flying RC helicopters when I was 14. Broke my first one on its first flight (Well I stupidly went full throttle and it hit the ceiling breaking the props) 4 more broke because of hard or missed landings due to high winds. One crashed because the prop shaft came out mid flight. Fell 250 ft. It survived luckily.
I was wondering if you guys could do a review and test of the hobby zone glasair sportsman. I am very enthusiastic about this plane, and I would enjoy a quality review from you! Thanks!
Flitetest, please make a video on how to pull apart XT-60 connectors, please, I bough some from Hobbyking and they just fuse together when I connect them.
the first time I flew a RC plane was when I was 7-8ish, it was a glow and I was buddy boxed up... did a few turns that was it. then I got a 3 channel nine eagle sky runner and just throw it... flew well considering the weather... although all my landings were cashes in a sense...
At 17:31, the way you hold down the throttle with your thumb. Do you hold the throttle in this manner for safety? Regardless, this is how I will hold my Tx from now on. You guys are great, Thanks for the tips.
just getting into flying this video is priceless guys make great content now I got a lot of catching up to do on learning j want to get the hubu sts 70mm with safe any ideas if I should get something else
There is actually a nice mobile game...it is called simple planes...really cool game and it teaches you a little bit about what y'all are actually talking about. The only thing it is a lot more cut and dry, which isn't always good, you guys do an amazing job of explaining. The only negative thing is the game costs I believe 2.99 or 4.99 well worth it but without a demo it's kind of a trial by fire.
por favor! se que es mucho pedir, pero podrian poner la traduccion al español debajo en cada video!!! me seria de mucha ayuda!!!! mil gracias!!! hace mucho los veo!!!! un abrazo gigante desde argentina!!!!!!
You two are are very good at presentations. I will not look anywhere else for instruction. Thank you. Question. I bought the Phoenix 5 Simulator and Spk 6i from Horizon Hobby. I have practiced for 2 years now. Can honestly say I can fly any fixed wing on full advanced setting to perfection perfection. I practice everyday for 20 minutes x 2 years. Am I ready? Thanks again. Horizon hobby is great. You two represent them very well.
+Richard Parker It wouldn't take a while but you should try a 4 channel airplane, high wing, for about a couple months. Then move on to something else.
Thanks. Think I'll skip the rookie airplanes and just go with something hi performance. Simulator on the right setting is harder than outdoors in my opinion.
For starters I love your videos but I would like to know what the name of that plane is, how much it costs, and if it's good for beginners.If the cost is over $200 however what would be a cheap beginner plane? I have never flown an rc plane and if I ever get the money I would like to get one. I also like the planes like the old fogey just the look is just soo cool so if you could do another plane like that I would love that.

Love these videos, even 6 years later!

This was the BEST video for getting me into the air safely and making multiple take offs and landing. No crashes, no issues, just fun! THANK YOU GUYS!
excellent job guys I got into this hobby over 55 years ago and nobody there by my side telling me what to do it was fly it or crash it. Most was the last at the beginning. Have many years of. Try building a balsa kit the hobby becomes even better. Nothing better to clear the mind. Have fun

Even though I don't know yet if I like to build and fly RC-planes or quadcopters, some categories (as R/C) are similar.

I'm from germany and it's sad that I can't find such a detailed guide in german. But to understand you is no problem once one understands the R/C - specific words (german words in brackets):
- aileron (Quer-Ruder)
- elevator (Höhen-Ruder)
- rudder (Seiten-Ruder)
- BEC
etc
tubelitrax THATS MY SAME PROBLEM!!
Except I'm not German but yah
I flew my first EDF in windy weather and miracoulously managed to not crash, i learnt alot from watching you guys :)
Awesome advice. 70% of what you're talking about I had NO IDEA. will next time. Not having that idea cost me m first plane ... simply flying away ... So now I taxi down the hall at home and back towards me. Reverse navigation is not easy if you've never even though about it.

furthermore, you are a real dude and a good teacher and pilot....impressive.

Oskar Lund do you have your plane yet?
redstone craft guy yeah. I've got a few actually. Problem is all of them are belly landers so when I put gears on my spitfire it turned out that I am terrible at landing.
I'm gonna get the carbon cub S I think in a month when I get taxes sooo I'm researching planes and info till then
Nice beginner series! I'm not a beginner any more but do enjoy these vids. I also like how Josh holds his thumb on the throttle as a safety meassure. I do that as well, all the time when a battery is connected but I do not want to fly. That is a really good habit to have.

Maybe one day a sweet Stryker but slow for now. Great videos
You guys kick ass; I've learned to fly so much faster by not making a lot of noob mistakes in the beginning.
A fantastic, informative and fun introduction to RC flying. I'm really looking forward to watching the others in this series.
I don't know if it's just a coincidence or that great minds think alike, but I sent in a suggestion last week hoping you would include split screen elements in a video.

Still looking for the glide slope one!!!
Really enjoy your vids. Keep up the great work!
My first plane had a bad life...
I tried a loop on my first flight
RIP
He was on the graund but he’s now forever in the skys
My first one did a flip by its self
Mine flyed autonomus, it makes a circulus and landed automatic LoL, the conectors to de Elevator and the Ailerons are loose xD
Lego Plane Crashes rip
rest in pieces rip
Excellent CG explanation!! The planes pivot point, thank you!
Love the video of the sticks!!
U Speak on my level I UNDERSTAND if I can learn from your video's U have accomplished something every teacher I ever have had lost sleep over or should have
Thanks Charlie
You guys inspired me even in corona time I got myself horizon hobbies rtf S+ carbon cub and I’m really happy
Dragonstudios So did I!
Ye It’s awesome
Thank you so much. All the information you provided was information I needed
to know. This is my first year of RC 😅
Also, I really appreciate the video series for helping me get back in the air!
I just yesterday crashed a cessna 182.
I was flying then the wings just popped off. I saw a video that they did that but i bought it anyways thinking meh what are the chances.
Next thing you know its crashing down with no wings to solid cement.

hey guys this series is amazing! keep em coming! :)
I learned to fly the cub years ago.to get this lovely plan to take off from grass all I did was put slightly bigger wheels on it and adjust the cg .
YEAH! 100k Congrats guys, you deserve it!
Thanks guys I really appreciate the videos. I've flown helis but you really have great starter tips to cross over
This is a great video, and novices should take note it could save them time and money.
Would it be a good idea to put a air tag inside your plane to find it when you loose it?
+Julian Mackay As it's Your first plane, I'd suggest You start with FT Flyer.
It'd lasts longer before You need serious repairs to it, so You learn more flying.
There is a build video for it, they show some on connecting stuff. And I think they have a separate episode on electronics too.
Josh & Josh ; Really good Video on Take Offs & Landings ! Thanks for the Video
when your range testing and have a friend to help, its better to get one walk out 30 paces with the plane hold it up and spin around slowly, its quicker and your friend can also tell you if it fails or not
Nice boys. I have Josh`s namesake ready to roll once the wind die`s down.
Thanks for the tips.
I am new to rc flying. I understand that you need to constantly adjust the aileron and rudder controls as the plane takes off to maintain stability.
Thank you Sharing this knowledge I am a beginner just got the super cub S so I am learning through your videos, I will be watching for more
Clear, helpful, repetition helps drill it in my thick head. Thank you.
I am also new trainer who has broke many planes and propeller but now I am little bit improving
Josh + Josh = awesome !
I like the way you said "We have to do a range test" in almost the same way as you would when your mom told you to tidy your room.
Perfect preparation Bro, good job

good video guys, helps a lot.
Hell I'd say 90% of RC flight is understanding the electronics, transmitor, batter, charger, binding......etc etc.......
Sort of a bummer. Good pilots have natural skills eye to hand. I think part of you two might agree.
Agaiin , solid video to help us out.
awesome video thanks for the much needed info, you guys are the best :)
As an addition to my previous post. Maybe it's a nice idea to have a video about "on the field safety, around and on the airstrip" where things such as thumb on throttle are adressed?
Carbon cub. What's your thoughts on a 3 bladed prop.
And which prop would you recommend???
a question please,
if your transmitter batteries get weak
will your range decrease a little at a time as they get weaker
or
will the transmitter keep working to a certain point
and then cut out all at once ?
lw216316 cut all at once
Looove this series as I am determining what beginner plane I want I've never flown probably gonna get the carbon cub S or a EDF f16 BNF with a spektrum dx8 I've never flown but did race and tinker with RC cars 15yrs ago or so but new to planes but I'm gonna go ahead and buy a good transmitter I can get comfortable with and grow into like the dx8 and be able to bind it to future planes
New to this hobby but had a ? Is the Rudder control normally on the Right stick? 5:35 on the video shows your rudder on the right. Simulators position it on the Left stick horizontal and throttle left stick vertical.

I saved up to buy a 4channel radio, FT3d speedbuild kit and some electronics but im unsure what to buy and compatability issues and how to connect the wires. Can you maby make a video on connecting the motor and servos to the reciever ect. :)
best off doing that anyway to many rip off companies. but direct from china always
Will you guys eventually do a beginners video about FPV? I know you did one about general equipment and frequencies but I built the batbone and I'm gonna use it for FPV but I don't know what tx/rx you guys use for your tricopters. All the tx I've seen have been pretty large. If it matters I wanna try and use 5.8 GHz.
LOL 3:58 "who said that, King Solomon?"
Yea that was funny lol
lol
Paused the video for about a minute 'cos I couldn't stop laughin'
I like when the shorty Josh is in the video. He's an enjoyable clown. Keep the laughs coming, and the training videos.
Great video! Thanks
I wish I found this channel when I was just starting out
SO a non-dihedral winged plane. You need to give it a little elevator to get off the ground ?
Oh god I was waitting for my fix!
Im real into this,lve fell in love the RCs
Very nice video series so far. Do you guys have a video series for FPV ?
Brand spanking new to rc planes.. But have been running rc trucks and boats for on and off for about 15yrs... Got a wild hair, with no experience just fever, i bought a carbon cub s+. Giving credit my toy is smart id say, im gliding around like a pro... Funny part.. Id never had any interest in flying rc. Now that i am.... I almost feel like i could careless for the grounded toys 😆 thank you for the videos... Filling my lack of experience. I was flyin as soon as my batteries were hot!
my fav...🤘part is flying but you fly in the end👀anyway some tips i have learn today thanku bro...😀
12:14 So is that caused by the propeller turning at speed or what? So do they mean hold it up in the air with your hand and apply throttle to check the trim? I'm new but I would figure you would need to take off to adjust the trim
So I was thinking on buying this plane: Playmate Micro RTF and I'm a beginner to the plane hobby thing too. Also, I was looking over on how to fly it and I came by this now I feel kinda scared or so to say, about flying it because I'm worried I might break it.
Mystro Channel Yeah don’t learn unless your break a few. I started flying RC helicopters when I was 14. Broke my first one on its first flight (Well I stupidly went full throttle and it hit the ceiling breaking the props) 4 more broke because of hard or missed landings due to high winds. One crashed because the prop shaft came out mid flight. Fell 250 ft. It survived luckily.
I was wondering if you guys could do a review and test of the hobby zone glasair sportsman. I am very enthusiastic about this plane, and I would enjoy a quality review from you! Thanks!
Great episode!
Flitetest, please make a video on how to pull apart XT-60 connectors, please, I bough some from Hobbyking and they just fuse together when I connect them.
the first time I flew a RC plane was when I was 7-8ish, it was a glow and I was buddy boxed up... did a few turns that was it. then I got a 3 channel nine eagle sky runner and just throw it... flew well considering the weather... although all my landings were cashes in a sense...
At 17:31, the way you hold down the throttle with your thumb. Do you hold the throttle in this manner for safety? Regardless, this is how I will hold my Tx from now on. You guys are great, Thanks for the tips.
just getting into flying this video is priceless guys make great content now I got a lot of catching up to do on learning j want to get the hubu sts 70mm with safe any ideas if I should get something else
There is actually a nice mobile game...it is called simple planes...really cool game and it teaches you a little bit about what y'all are actually talking about. The only thing it is a lot more cut and dry, which isn't always good, you guys do an amazing job of explaining. The only negative thing is the game costs I believe 2.99 or 4.99 well worth it but without a demo it's kind of a trial by fire.
great planes for those who are starting the hobby
por favor! se que es mucho pedir, pero podrian poner la traduccion al español debajo en cada video!!! me seria de mucha ayuda!!!! mil gracias!!! hace mucho los veo!!!!
un abrazo gigante desde argentina!!!!!!
Hahahahaha Josh is ghost sticking. He is using the rudder on the transmitter when it's not there.
hahaha... I saw that too. I do it also when I'm buddy cabling people up to my FT Flyer. Rudder is on Aileron channel. :)
thanks for the training guys
Will you guys do a multirotor beginner series?
You two are are very good at presentations. I will not look anywhere else for instruction. Thank you.
Question. I bought the Phoenix 5 Simulator and Spk 6i from Horizon Hobby. I have practiced for 2 years now. Can honestly say I can fly any fixed wing on full advanced setting to perfection perfection. I practice everyday for 20 minutes x 2 years.
Am I ready?
Thanks again. Horizon hobby is great. You two represent them very well.
+Richard Parker It wouldn't take a while but you should try a 4 channel airplane, high wing, for about a couple months. Then move on to something else.
Thanks. Think I'll skip the rookie airplanes and just go with something hi performance. Simulator on the right setting is harder than outdoors in my opinion.
your welcome
I started on a small park flyer
Good job nice to have these videos for beginners
Will you guys go into how to connect remotes and so on. Not just what you do to connect most receivers to remotes but go into detail
I real wanna build one for myself and the question you asked its a good idea for me l wanna know as well!!
For starters I love your videos but I would like to know what the name of that plane is, how much it costs, and if it's good for beginners.If the cost is over $200 however what would be a cheap beginner plane? I have never flown an rc plane and if I ever get the money I would like to get one. I also like the planes like the old fogey just the look is just soo cool so if you could do another plane like that I would love that.
could you please test the hype dg 1001 because it is my first plane and im flying with it one year now so i want to know your opinion
:D
Hey, guys your really awesome and i was wondering if you could do a review of the hubsan x4 v2 and maybe even an FPV conversion for that.
Hi I know I'm 5 years late but from were do you get the airplane 'controller'?
Any virtual trainers I can practice with?
Realflite8
We definitely need them now
