flew .40 size planes with my dad about 15 years ago, decided to get back into it. heres a vid of my first flight :o not pretty, the first half is kinda boring, but then i get allitle braver about 1/3 of the way in, dont laugh at the landings  i usually have to hit the play button a couple time, or you can click below for the full size http://www.flyinggiants.com/gallery/...9&ppuser=21465 edit: tiny YouTube version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFmsU3Am1hg Last edited by STANG KILLA SS; 11-20-2007 at 02:50 PM. |

lol ive got a T-rex450S as well, i liked it, it was awesome, spent 6 months on G2 before my first flight on it, had a pretty good track record. just a 2 or 3 crashes over time. but it was just too nerve wrecking, cool as hell, but not relaxing or fun. thats why i decided to get back into plank flying, and now they got these little foamies, hell, if i crash it who cares, the whole damn plane only cost 58 bucks |

my hands sweated every flight. another reason it just wasnt for me. youll have a mini heart attack your first 3-4 flights just stay on the sim, until your hands naturally correct the heli, without your brain thinking about, once you reach that point ya just got to go for it, a sim can help alot, buts its still alot different than the real thing. |

Wait until you're out flying and the cell rings. I've pulled the phone out of my pocket, looked to see who's calling (wife), answered the phone, put it on speaker, held the phone and TX, and continued flying. |
