This is how I learned on how to take off and land, I flew the pattern over and over and over again until I got it right. Ive done many hours just taxing around the ground also. Some guys at my field kept asking me what I was doing and I said learning, learning how to fly and learning controls of the bird. Thanks for sharing my friend👍👍👍👍👍 Once last thing power is your friend land your plane with power not by the elevator.
This is why it's a great idea to join a flying club and fly in their field. I suggest it even if you're flying small park flyers as you will pick up bad habits learning on your own. Taking a lesson even if you think you're a good pilot you will realize how much you can learn from old-timers and progress a lot faster.
Thanks for the tutorial...a bad landing can cost big $$. Good landings are THE most important skill to acquire. As a note, I would not apply flaps during a turn. Also, a strong headwind will require more throttle during landing. Crosswinds are another story.
Thanks for the comment! Agree, applying flaps is a bit risky if I did this during a turn. I don't remember when making this video when I put them down, but usually I drop them at the end of my downwind. But, I would suggest dropping them down when you most feel comfortable after experience and perhaps not during a maneuver.
I did most of that naturally. Seemed the obvious way to land. I’m no expert though, cracked up my jet a few times but I think we can agree there are easier aircraft to land. Thanks.
Thanks, nice video. Not sure a motor off glide then motor on landing will work in my setting. We have high trees threatening all around my fields. I land under power much lower and tighter than you fly here. How about doing another landing video including some crow landings from height? Or how to bleed off speed from height without crow? How to side slip to lose altitude? You are a good teacher, now please go a little further with your landing instruction. These trees are killers.
@ no, crow is when ailerons go up and the flaps go down. They don’t go up very much so you still have aileron function. It’s a way to increase drag and drop altitude without gaining airspeed. It’s standard with many sailplanes, but works for other RC planes and full scale aircraft as well.
Take off and landing should be in the same direction, otherwise you don't fly a correct circuit. With other aircraft in the pattern it becomes a big mess when you fly like this.
My holdback on this video is not first trimming the plane for landing - does not matter what your flying or its configuration for slow flight is - It must be trimmed for slow flight! Landings or flying around, missed approaches, touch and goes: all this is based on slow fling the airplane. Kinda' makes it important don't you think?

Watching every episode on Monday. Thanks for the information I use and appreciate it. God Bless !
Awesome! Thank you!

I totally agree!
Totally agree 👍🏻
Thanks for the great advice!
Any time!

When I take off I feel like a cat in a tree. Happy, but wondering how to get down.
I prefer to keep a little power on especially with the Turbine to minimise spool up time in case I need to go around.
Thank you for your great Videos 📹
Glad you like them!

I'll add it to my queue.
What does crow mean?
Do you mean crab?

Absolutely.
Great video and explanations! What flight simulator is that, may I ask?
Realflight
@@RCexplained Thanks!
No Wind, no problem, no miracle.
