I concur need more girls in the RC Hobby! Girls out there ...,it doesn't matter if you're big, small, tiny, tall ... everything completely melts away when you get that plane up in the air , all by yourself!.. and of course it's so cute to see a girl flying... for Christmas I'm a surprise my girl with a beginners RC plane probably the Sport Cub.. does it come in pink? LOL
Thank you for the Video. I am 65 and have just started with RC Drones. When I first flew it I had my granddaughter with me she enjoyed it with me. Any way I had a good time an now interested in trying planes. I have been watching several starter videos and yours has been the best beginner video. Thank you
I've been driving and racing RC ground vehicles for over 30 years. Recently I've gotten the itch to fly. I have looked at so many planes and wasn't sure what to get but Thanks to you I now know what to get.
When I first started watching your videos I was very impressed with your professionalism and thought to myself this gal is a Miss America I have been flying for 18 years I'm more into warbirds anymore and when I seen you fly the first warbird I changed my mind you have graduated from Miss America to Miss universe you are awesome RC girl I really enjoy your videos also your laugh is kind of cute also when you land. LOL looking forward to more videos
I just found you on RUclips and watched your video on the Blade 120 heli and now this one. I think you are very coordinated and skillful seeing how well you fly these two aircraft as a beginner. I'm impressed. It's one thing when the aircraft is flying calmly but when the wind or something causes it to do things you don't expect and you can react and keep it from crashing that's another thing. That's a good pilot! Fantastic video!
When I learnt to fly, before any assistance electronics, I found that it's a good idea to fly a constant circuit. I did left hand circuits for about 4 sessions (days) . Then I did Touch & goes which prepare you for landing. The reason for the left hand circuits was so that when you got into trouble you had an automatic routine that you didn't have to concentrate on to recover your confidence. I learnt in 1992.
A few days ago I watched a Horizon Hobbies video advertising the eFlite F-18 hornet, and now I have to have it. It isn't a want, it's a must, BUT I have to learn how to fly a plane first. The one in your video I may have to get to learn. When I get an understanding and feel comfortable with it, then I'll get that F-18. I'll probably get a higher tier radio than the DX6 because if I buy one plane, I'll have 4 when I'm done....at least. Lol. When I got my first surface RC, I said to myself "this is all I need" now 8 trucks, and 1 boat in, I know what to expect. There is 3 left that I want and that's not including the F-18.
Great video,after watching you I've ordered one myself,I was always intimidated by planes and heli's.you have given me the confidence to try flying as I've always been in the dirt(cars and trucks),but watching someone fly is very hypnotizing so thank you very much for this video,cheers
Check out the v911 heli on Amazon. $40, taught myself to fly indoors in less than a month. I've moved onto airplanes but still love it for those rainy days.
It's so much fun. I found that the free simulators really helped with learning the controls and reactions. I had problem with orientation when the plane is further. If you care to see my endeavors, ruclips.net/channel/UCcZfULPpmqyZxjOi8dfmdEg
When I got back into the hobby I started with this BRILLIANT little bird and quite literally flew it till it wore out..Can't wait to get another!..Great video,and keep flying!..:)
Hey RC Girl, You ROCK! Fun watching you demo these planes. I want one really bad because of you and your "I can do this attitude"! I'm an old sail plane guy here in your area. Electric flight and all the tech really helps even if you have RC flight experience. The old days of buy, build and crash was expensive and disappointing. This is soooooo much cheaper and the planes come home in one piece! It's fun to watch you as you learn different skills. Thanks for inspiration! C Gul
Love the videos. Not overly dramatic with unneeded fluff. Just your straight forward opinion and suggestions. Makes me want to get back into rc. Keep it up and see you at 100 000 subscribers!
Nice flying. I have moved on to hot rod quarter size planes since i started flying 30 years ago. Some of my planes cost what a cheap car costs. But still get so much joy out of my little front yard fliers just like that little model your flying. If it flies i love it. Nice flight You did very good girl. Keep it up
That is awesome that you are branching out into flight! I dabbled in it about 15 years ago with limited success, but last year I decided to dive back in head first. I watched a ton of Flite Test videos and learned as much as I could. I bought a Taranis radio and used it with some sims. I built the FT Tiny Trainer and was able to get the hang of basic 4-channel flight. The real breakthrough happened after I joined a local flying club where I could share the sky with folks that have been in the hobby for decades. I can't recommend clubs enough. Anyways, congrats on your successful maiden and I look forward to following along in your journey!
It's awesome, I was into rockets still am but the difference is once you have the plane, all you need is time and a field, enjoy! 👍ruclips.net/channel/UCcZfULPpmqyZxjOi8dfmdEg
I must say you are lucky to have this type of space open for this type of random go to an area flying. I have 20 planes and I dont fly as much anymore because of the planning, the packing and the going 40 minutes one way to fly. Its why I have moved mostly to freestyle quadcopter FPV flying.. Great vid and cheers.
NIce. Lots of wind you can tell. I always find (where I live anyways) that even on the windiest days, that early, early in the morning the wind is almost always calm and doesn't start picking up until around 9:00am so I do most of my flying early. Cheers and thanks for posting!
You take me back about 5 years, my first plane was either the champ or the cub, since, i now have a 3 rd champ and same cub. Now you will be looking forward to flying larger aircraft. After my cub I moved up to a 36 inch low wing civilian. Which was almost identical to my new 50 inch cherokee from h h. It flies as easy just need more space. Continue to fly, new subsbr
even if this is broken, it's still super easy to repair :) so no worries abt it :) take it as a opportunity in learning aircraft maintenance. happy flying :)
Got my Grandson one of these - he was maybe 10 yrs old at that time. First flight, he flew it way too high and it went out of sight. We kept hitting the panic button and hoped for the best. After searching for about 1 hr, I found it sitting upright in the corner of a farmer's field about a half mile away. Not a scratch on it. This is a perfect beginner's plane.
Quarantine brought me here.. I’m ordering the Sport Cub S and wanted instructions beforehand on how to fly. Thumbs up for mentioning simulator right off the hop. Thank you RC Girl. 👍🏼
What a fun video!! I was like cmon girl do a loop You can do it!! Very exciting video....So nice to see a beginner be honest and want to show others the learning cycle, YOU ARE AWESOME!! Thanks!!
This is great instruction for beginners. The video is very understandable and helpful. This is the 4th and best video I’ve watched on this model. No one however has even mentioned the trim functions. The trim buttons must be there for a reason.
R/C planes have come a long ways since I first got into it many years ago. I use to tell beginners, try to start with a larger plane (easier to see) & not to fly when windy. But now, many small planes have the new radio stabilizing system. Easier to fly in wind. Nice Video.
I'm telling you, it's fun in the wind once you get over the hump so to speak lol, watch my video from crash to controlled(somewhat😂) flying ruclips.net/channel/UCcZfULPpmqyZxjOi8dfmdEg
I've been in the hobby for years. Recently the ama and faa have made it nearly impossible for us to fly at the local club. I said screw the faa and ama & got myself a sport cub. Did the maiden yesterday. What a fun little airplane. Now I fly at my local park in a big empty parking lot
Just ordered a DX6 trnsmitter/receiver w/ an E-flite 800mm F4U Corsair for my first RC plane experience. Have built many balsa models as a kid, but never an RC plane, they were just display models. Very much looking forward to getting in the air and learning areobatics, as that was my favorite thing to do when I was a certified pilot flying an Extra 300 - absolutely the most fun you can have in a plane. Want to get a glider, as well, becuase I love soaring. Must say you are adorably cute w/ a million dollar smile.
Thinking about dipping my toes into RC planes, watching my first flight video, and loving it! From here it looks like a small directional breeze could be helpful, it really slows the plane going against the wind, which should make landing a bit easier. (I think) Looks to be an entertaining hobby, and much easier to learn on compared to the nitro RC planes my father flew when I was a child over 30 years ago. Thanks!
Very nice video. I really enjoyed seeing the 2nd landing, and how happy she was the plane was still intact . I think of my first efforts to fly Cox .049 powered 2 channel planes way back when. I got good exercise going hiking to look for what remained of the plane. It is nice to see people taking an interest in the magic of flight.
After one bad experience with a tethered airplane as a child, and after one bad experience with a difficult helicopter as an adult, I have stayed away from the air in my RC hobbies. I have lots of ground RC experience and some sailing RC experience. But I've been afraid of the air as very unforgiving. Your video has given me the courage to try again. Thanks!
You gotta try a v911 heli on Amazon like $40. Buy extra batteries, 5 for $8. You'll thank me later. After a week I was zipping through the house chasing the cat. And it takes a beating! Greatest true to life rc trainer ever!!! It really helped with stick training. I have now moved on to planes. Good luck amigo!
Thanks. I just bought this plane and you gave good video on flying it. I do have the eflight Apprentice 15e. And I can fly it great. Just can't land it. So hopefully this plane will give me the confidence and skills to land my Apprentice.
I like the planes that have anti crash tecnology it helps people who are 1st timers and slows jerky motions that would cause a plane to crash up to fast down to fast great way to learn keep up the airplane videos as you go more advanced
I just ordered this form Horizon Hobbies, thanks for the video, I tried to fly my new Scale Cessna 182 but im just not ready for that, this plane will help get my skills more fine tuned. Great demonstration !
Should be everyone's first plane for sure. I have 50+ planes and I keep my beat up cub s hanging on the wall as a reminder of where I began. Great stuff girl.
Now, that is just too kool. I'm a total novice to this rc plane stuff, but it seems like a lot of fun. Thanks to you and your video, I'm going to get the same plane. I have a DX8 controller and will bind it to that. I have a "little" experience flying drones (DJI Spark and, my favorite, a Parrot ANAFI). Thanks, again for a great video and your presentation is so nice.
Hi? My name is David from Gainesville FL. I'm new to the RC planes hobby! Really appreciate and enjoyed watching your videos on RUclips. Thanks so much in helping me choose a new hobby zone training plane. Best regards from the sunshine state.😎🙌🎮
You should always have. Insurance. It maybe a small plane but if you have a malfunction even that could come down quite fast into a car or person then you'll be in trouble. It's not expensive but you've got piece of mind. I started with a rising star. I now fly a. 3. Met WS . Cub. Best. SIM is. The Phoenix. Excellent video. Thanks. For sharing.
This video inspired this dude to fly modern rc airplanes. After seeing you flying and learning on this bird, I went out and purchased on. When you get good, Id love to see you take on a balsa wood and monokote plane. These birds require full attention, and they fly great, did somebody say nitro? Keep up the great videos, you did great, keep on flying your rc birds, you have new fans out there..
You go girl, thank you for this video because I'm contemplating going into the air been on the surface for about 6 years now, I know everything about the surface now it's time to learn everything about the air and then I might go to water
I love the way you explain things. I have been in the hobby for a while, but it does make a difference when you break things down for a person who is trying to learn.
Hi, I flew mine outside for the first time today. Ground handling isn't very easy, but doable with low RPM spurts. Flying it turns left very predictable, but right turns are about half/three quarters as good. I stayed at less than full throttle most of the time to save on battery time, but also I was flying in a parking lot that is maybe 20m wide by 80m long and fenced. I think the airplane might be more fun as I fly it more. I don't have a camera person to take videos.
It looks like it takes off really well. The flight seems to be very smooth. I've been looking at this one for my son I thank it would be a great plan for him. great review
If you like adrenaline rush, you will love to fly😀it is an adventure from pasture field s to AMA fields , I love the carbon s 1.3 for easy flying lessons.
I started out with a cheap Walmart RC that flew very well it was a 2ch stealth B2 bomber it was cheap and a great plane to learn on Now they have stuff like the one in your video looks like a great plane might have to go out and get one its great to see more people doing videos and getting into RC hobbies great vid looking forward to more
Cool to see girls flying r.c planes way cool. Thanks for sharing wish you all the best, if I can be of any help I've been into r.c cars, trucks , airplanes for about 35 yrs. That plane you have is an excellent choice for new pilots. God bless
If you are new to rc planes, keep in mind the small planes are harder to fly than a bigger one. I had a Mini J3 piper cub like the one in this video 24" wingspan, that thing was a real handful even in minor wind, the smaller and lighter your plane, the more wild it will control. Flying is harder than you think, start with a simulator to save yourself alot of money and don't get discouraged if you crash
Some years ago I was at a RC show and I bought this small plane similars with that one is the first time I took it out was in a schoolyard there wasn't much wind and I took a nose dive and jacked up the propeller and I never fly again thank you for the video anyways
Love the introduction and video. It is nice to see a 'real' person not a pro test an RC model. I can relate to what you are discovering. We done. Looking forward to more.
Enjoy seeing your excitement when you landed the plane for a beginner that's what it's all about, when you gain more experience and start doing loops and rolls the excitement gets even more intense. Good luck with the new channel hope to see more videos.
The sports cub s was my first plane it tough me how to fly. It. Also started a rc addiction. I bought 12 planes I one year , I can’t get enough. Great video and happy flying!
Great video. I have a basic 3 channel park flyer trainer now. After I gain skills with it I plan to move up a step. After watching your video I think this is the one for me.
Rc Girl,well done.....flyin like someone who has for years,the next step you might consider is ,building your own from scratch,dollar tree foam board ,some balsa and some tape ,i been building from scratch for about 6 years now , and there is feeling like building your own, and watching it fly, trust me....give it a shot.....great video.,
Bound to encourage newbies to get out there and fly. Good riddance to the days when we had to glue/tape/rebend/replace all that foam and balsa before our first soft landing, especially in the wind. Though I would wager your ground experience helped you master the controls. Well done all around.
Really enjoyed the vid. You do a great explaining what you have going on. So cool seeing you smile after your flights. Looks like you're having fun. Great job
You mentioned setting the transmitter to mode 1. Most people fly in Mode 2. It is ultimately personal preference. Been a while since I flew RC planes, but I was wondering if you looked into that. Used to love park flying...would like to get back into that. GLHF Oh, and a big shout out and thank you to Horizon Hobby for getting her all of this equipment to demo for us!
I think my transmitter went all wonky in this vid and not sure why it announced flight mode 1 haha! After the vid, I had to delete and re-add this model since it got corrupted for some reason. I do fly in flight mode II (as most in the US do I'm learning).
That's a flight mode switch which switches from different safe modes, the radio is a mode 2. Flight mode has nothing to do with the gimbal configuration.
Very cool video on learning planes! I've been wanting to learn them myself but they seem extremely intimidating compared to ground vehicles. I might try one of these out. Thanks for sharing! You're awesome!
I’ve watched your RC flying videos for a couple of months and just realized they were filmed at Skypark in Scott’s Valley. I figured it out after recognizing a video of you flying at the RCBEES field
Great video, very well spoken..👍 I crashed my rare bear on second flight 3 years ago and now I need to actually learn how to fly with something easier, this looks perfect. 😉 Thanks
okay, good excuse for making us wait sooo long to see what you have been up to. Not the only one I see that was starting to be a little down for missing you. Have to admit I was a little excited to see a notification that you had posted a video. Flight is something that I hopefully will work my way to, simulators I have been told is strongly encouraged for beginners as well as experienced, sharp reduction in lawn dart landings and takeoff crashes. Thanks for making a great morning start.
Stevo been some busy building another rig.. too hot to get out and run anything for the last month, but maybe this weekend. Trying to keep up with all the video's, lol.. got so many subscriptions.
Can anyone tell me do you have to have a receiver that is DSMX or DSMX or does the receiver need to be capable of both? Will a DXe DMSX transmitter work? Good video. Glad you had a little wind to show how sensitive this unit is due to the low weight and small motor. Thanks for the training.
Good video. It looks like you have the same windy conditions as where I live. I've quit flying RC planes as I only get about 10 days a year when conditions are ok to fly. The same goes for drones. Oh well that's one of the downfalls of living on the coast.
RC Girl you rock🎸thanks for info. I new also but into Sail planes an building a Sail plane to learn to soar the sky. God Bless and take Care. Greg of Ohio
I know this vid is five years old now ,But I have been out of the RC planes for about 11 years. I'm retired now and want to get back into it the hobby. I see that you was using a Gen 3 DX6 I have the first Gen DX6 and was wondering if this plane would bind to it
I’m new to flying planes and mine isn’t lifting off the ground not sure if I’m doing the controls wrong. Am I just relying on the propeller to be going full speed or does the right stick have anything to do with it? I can get it going sometimes but can’t get it off the ground
RC. GIRL. this is the first plane I ever owned and it is a awesome starter plane it taught me so much and gave me the confidence to move on to the next bigger planes and eventually to aroebatics. I love your positive attitude towards the best hobby ever. thanks and you have the most georgous eyes. 😎

im sorry, but what do u mean by automatic routine? like a flight controller and gps path?
No, he (and I) just means to have a routine ingrained in muscle memory that one can fall back on when something goes wrong! :)

Thanks. I just bought this plane and you gave good video on flying it. I do have the eflight Apprentice 15e. And I can fly it great. Just can't land it. So hopefully this plane will give me the confidence and skills to land my Apprentice.
Awesome - good luck! I know you can land it!!
Glad they did good beginner video I've been flying for about 40 years and never get tired of it that was great ✈🚁
I like the planes that have anti crash tecnology it helps people who are 1st timers and slows jerky motions that would cause a plane to crash up to fast down to fast great way to learn keep up the airplane videos as you go more advanced
I just ordered this form Horizon Hobbies, thanks for the video, I tried to fly my new Scale Cessna 182 but im just not ready for that, this plane will help get my skills more fine tuned. Great demonstration !
Thank you for all of the quality videos. Nice to see your enthusiasm for the rc hobby.
Should be everyone's first plane for sure. I have 50+ planes and I keep my beat up cub s hanging on the wall as a reminder of where I began. Great stuff girl.
Now, that is just too kool. I'm a total novice to this rc plane stuff, but it seems like a lot of fun. Thanks to you and your video, I'm going to get the same plane. I have a DX8 controller and will bind it to that. I have a "little" experience flying drones (DJI Spark and, my favorite, a Parrot ANAFI). Thanks, again for a great video and your presentation is so nice.
Thanks, have fun!! I'm 6 months in now and already 5 or 6 planes in 😆
Hi? My name is David from Gainesville FL. I'm new to the RC planes hobby! Really appreciate and enjoyed watching your videos on RUclips. Thanks so much in helping me choose a new hobby zone training plane. Best regards from the sunshine state.😎🙌🎮
You should always have. Insurance. It maybe a small plane but if you have a malfunction even that could come down quite fast into a car or person then you'll be in trouble. It's not expensive but you've got piece of mind. I started with a rising star. I now fly a. 3. Met WS . Cub. Best. SIM is. The Phoenix. Excellent video. Thanks. For sharing.
Rudyard F I just got my AMA membership!
This video inspired this dude to fly modern rc airplanes. After seeing you flying and learning on this bird, I went out and purchased on. When you get good, Id love to see you take on a balsa wood and monokote plane. These birds require full attention, and they fly great, did somebody say nitro? Keep up the great videos, you did great, keep on flying your rc birds, you have new fans out there..
You go girl, thank you for this video because I'm contemplating going into the air been on the surface for about 6 years now, I know everything about the surface now it's time to learn everything about the air and then I might go to water
I love the way you explain things. I have been in the hobby for a while, but it does make a difference when you break things down for a person who is trying to learn.
Hi, I flew mine outside for the first time today. Ground handling isn't very easy, but doable with low RPM spurts. Flying it turns left very predictable, but right turns are about half/three quarters as good. I stayed at less than full throttle most of the time to save on battery time, but also I was flying in a parking lot that is maybe 20m wide by 80m long and fenced. I think the airplane might be more fun as I fly it more. I don't have a camera person to take videos.
It looks like it takes off really well. The flight seems to be very smooth. I've been looking at this one for my son I thank it would be a great plan for him. great review
If you like adrenaline rush, you will love to fly😀it is an adventure from pasture field s to AMA fields , I love the carbon s 1.3 for easy flying lessons.
Looks like I am gonna get one and fly with my 13 year-old daughter, she's gonna be really excited! Thanks for the video and bravo for your channel.
She will !
I love the quick spin after you're first two landings and the big smile.
Your good at this stuff, thanks i am about to take my plane out soon for the first time. This was real helpful.
I started out with a cheap Walmart RC that flew very well it was a 2ch stealth B2 bomber it was cheap and a great plane to learn on Now they have stuff like the one in your video looks like a great plane might have to go out and get one its great to see more people doing videos and getting into RC hobbies great vid looking forward to more
Cool to see girls flying r.c planes way cool.
Thanks for sharing wish you all the best, if I can be of any help I've been into r.c cars, trucks , airplanes for about 35 yrs. That plane you have is an excellent choice for new pilots. God bless
If you are new to rc planes, keep in mind the small planes are harder to fly than a bigger one. I had a Mini J3 piper cub like the one in this video 24" wingspan, that thing was a real handful even in minor wind, the smaller and lighter your plane, the more wild it will control. Flying is harder than you think, start with a simulator to save yourself alot of money and don't get discouraged if you crash
Some years ago I was at a RC show and I bought this small plane similars with that one is the first time I took it out was in a schoolyard there wasn't much wind and I took a nose dive and jacked up the propeller and I never fly again thank you for the video anyways
Love the introduction and video. It is nice to see a 'real' person not a pro test an RC model. I can relate to what you are discovering.
We done. Looking forward to more.
Enjoy seeing your excitement when you landed the plane for a beginner that's what it's all about, when you gain more experience and start doing loops and rolls the excitement gets even more intense. Good luck with the new channel hope to see more videos.
The sports cub s was my first plane it tough me how to fly. It. Also started a rc addiction. I bought 12 planes I one year , I can’t get enough. Great video and happy flying!
Kenny Wohltman that story sounds awfully familiar 😂
Great video. I have a basic 3 channel park flyer trainer now. After I gain skills with it I plan to move up a step. After watching your video I think this is the one for me.
Amazing video. The UAP from 16:06 is a great capture.
I like how after the landings you turn to the camera in excitement.
Haha! Well...landing is a critical moment where things tend to go wrong.... Always excited when the plane makes it back to the ground safely
I e, but it oh hemstr.com
thought the same thing! RCG loving the channel thank you, and agree, landings are exhilirating, my favorite part of RC flight, keep flying!
@@RCGirl I also like to see your pleasure after landings. Greetings from Switzerland 🙂
Rc Girl,well done.....flyin like someone who has for years,the next step you might consider is ,building your own from scratch,dollar tree foam board ,some balsa and some tape ,i been building from scratch for about 6 years now , and there is feeling like building your own, and watching it fly, trust me....give it a shot.....great video.,
Sorry, but i didn't see her building a plane from scratch.
Bound to encourage newbies to get out there and fly. Good riddance to the days when we had to glue/tape/rebend/replace all that foam and balsa before our first soft landing, especially in the wind. Though I would wager your ground experience helped you master the controls. Well done all around.
Really enjoyed the vid. You do a great explaining what you have going on. So cool seeing you smile after your flights. Looks like you're having fun. Great job
I just got one for my birthday and wanted to learn how to use one great video too
thank you i have just got a rc plane and you gave me hope it is going to live past its first flight :)
You mentioned setting the transmitter to mode 1. Most people fly in Mode 2. It is ultimately personal preference. Been a while since I flew RC planes, but I was wondering if you looked into that.
Used to love park flying...would like to get back into that. GLHF
Oh, and a big shout out and thank you to Horizon Hobby for getting her all of this equipment to demo for us!
I think my transmitter went all wonky in this vid and not sure why it announced flight mode 1 haha! After the vid, I had to delete and re-add this model since it got corrupted for some reason. I do fly in flight mode II (as most in the US do I'm learning).
And yes! Huge thanks to Horizon! I'll be hanging out at their booth during the AMA Expo West in November. Great guys!
That's a flight mode switch which switches from different safe modes, the radio is a mode 2. Flight mode has nothing to do with the gimbal configuration.
Have the same plane trouble is it's still in the box over a year now, seeing your video gave me the courage get out there and fly it thanks...
14:00 = pure joy. landing in one piece and in front of your feet is so much fun!
I love this plane! I put on a little AIO FPV cam on and fly off my Hot Tub all around my neighborhood.
Excellent break-down, as always! :)
love the candid quality of this video
Great windy video, very informative with great flight advice....thank you for sharing ✈️✈️
I love watching your videos and your vibe is super cool and enchanting😊
Great video! It’s great to see women excited about RC! Love it ! 😃
Never really considered getting into r/c planes but after my son watched this video we might go try it out...thanks and keep these videos coming
Yeah it's a whole new hobby for sure. But this is the plane to try for your first experience
Very cool video on learning planes! I've been wanting to learn them myself but they seem extremely intimidating compared to ground vehicles. I might try one of these out. Thanks for sharing! You're awesome!
I’ve watched your RC flying videos for a couple of months and just realized they were filmed at Skypark in Scott’s Valley. I figured it out after recognizing a video of you flying at the RCBEES field
Do you know if Skypark is still open for RC flight?
That was cool, good job demonstrating this plane. I’ve been thinking of getting one, I guess I will after watching this. 👏👏👏
Welcome back!
Great first time flying vid.
All your stuff is very good for us rookies RC Girl.
Keep it up and thank you.
Great video, very well spoken..👍 I crashed my rare bear on second flight 3 years ago and now I need to actually learn how to fly with something easier, this looks perfect. 😉 Thanks
In other videos of this plane they get the readymade transmitter.plz tell me i want to buy it....
okay, good excuse for making us wait sooo long to see what you have been up to. Not the only one I see that was starting to be a little down for missing you. Have to admit I was a little excited to see a notification that you had posted a video.
Flight is something that I hopefully will work my way to, simulators I have been told is strongly encouraged for beginners as well as experienced, sharp reduction in lawn dart landings and takeoff crashes.
Thanks for making a great morning start.
Terra Quest RC hey brotha good to see u
Stevo been some busy building another rig.. too hot to get out and run anything for the last month, but maybe this weekend. Trying to keep up with all the video's, lol.. got so many subscriptions.
Can anyone tell me do you have to have a receiver that is DSMX or DSMX or does the receiver need to be capable of both? Will a DXe DMSX transmitter work? Good video. Glad you had a little wind to show how sensitive this unit is due to the low weight and small motor. Thanks for the training.
Good video.
It looks like you have the same windy conditions as where I live.
I've quit flying RC planes as I only get about 10 days a year when conditions are ok to fly.
The same goes for drones.
Oh well that's one of the downfalls of living on the coast.
RC Girl you rock🎸thanks for info. I new also but into Sail planes an building a Sail plane to learn to soar the sky. God Bless and take Care. Greg of Ohio
Great video, 40 years flying & I own 6 piper cubs incluing this one.
10 Great Video for learners and beginners lots of good inexpensive hobby grade stuff to be found.
your look on the landing reminded me of my first landings. I was 14. Still feel that way and I will be 60 in October. Hope your still flying!
😁 yep still flying
lol i got this plane for my birthday, i looked up how to fly a rc plane, and this was the first result thanks for the little review
Thanks. I've been interested in this for a long time.
I know this vid is five years old now ,But I have been out of the RC planes for about 11 years. I'm retired now and want to get back into it the hobby. I see that you was using a Gen 3 DX6 I have the first Gen DX6 and was wondering if this plane would bind to it
Thanks I was thinking of saving for this plane now I will great vid
So happy I found this. Great video -Thanks!
Good to see this hobby from a ladies point of view awesome
I’m new to flying planes and mine isn’t lifting off the ground not sure if I’m doing the controls wrong. Am I just relying on the propeller to be going full speed or does the right stick have anything to do with it? I can get it going sometimes but can’t get it off the ground
Great video ! I have never seen a new pilot land anything right at their feet ! Your Amazing !
I really loved your "people mover" analogy! That's exactly how it feels! Great job flying the little Cub! Kudos!
Rayan thanks! I'm getting a Mini apprentice next and plan to do a vid on that soon. I think it's a good next step up!
@@RCGirl That is awesome! You should try the Blade 230S as a step up on helis too!
Good job rc girl I'm a beginner in the rc planes have a lot to learn great video!!!
Thanks! It's a fun (and challenging) journey
Great tutorial video good flying and the good plane start off with thank you for sharing 👍😁👍

RC. GIRL. this is the first plane I ever owned and it is a awesome starter plane it taught me so much and gave me the confidence to move on to the next bigger planes and eventually to aroebatics. I love your positive attitude towards the best hobby ever. thanks and you have the most georgous eyes. 😎
Thanks!
