The senior telemaster. What’s the power system in it????? Gotta know

0:25 that’s why I really love smaller and lighter hero session. It’s ideally suited for RC planes, and it also proved to be completely indestructible.

10 years ago Flite Test did a 10 episode beginners series. It's needs to be redone and you guys should do it!

I was told early in my RC flying that it's not IF you will crash, it's WHEN. Sooner or later, we all crash. I realized I was maturing in the hobby when a crash didn't discourage me from flying more that day.

so many of my planes "fall" out of the sky on on approach because they stall out on the final turn. Got to do the base turn very far away and carry speed right up to the landing flare.

Thanks for mentioning the ama “insurance” thing. So many are pushing the ama membership as an insurance policy, and it is not. It used to be like the GOA or FPC for RC pilots and would protect our rights but not so much any more.

Just got done with a Saturday at my hobby shop (no R/C but did), and to see these videos is so cool. The best!

Great is always, love the educational and entertaining content!

4s on the dog.... incredible 👏

Great work! Entertaining and educational.

LOL i legit put a go pro on my FMS PA-18 1300mm within a week of buying it. I even bought the gopro for the sole purpose of putting it on my plane. Luckily for me I put it under the wing all the way into the fuselage and lined it up with the CG. Didn't even get any counter weights and it flies beautifully. That plane is a beast!

hey guys! Love the videos, and you guys got me to change my attitude towards crashes. I recently crashed my Bf-109G, and rather than being angry with myself, I looked at why it happened and laughed about it with my friend. Thanks for everything!

You guys have really stepped it up a notch! Love these new videos!

Thanks, great video!

I love the videos! Keep up the good work :)

I hope there will be a video about this 3d telemaster. Love your videos btw.

Very wise thoughts.

So true

I love how to intros to these videos are slowly becoming so high quality😂

The giant slow stick with the timber wing caught me eye. I want one

Imagine: Teaching yourself to fly with no prior model experience, watches, but never flown with a club, or ANYBODY else for that matter (idk anyone personally that flys ANY RC, all crawl), never knew Sims for RC where a thing. I still have so many questions. Is it considered normal to see a school track as a PERFECT runway when not in use? Do other ppl REALLY fly the park? Am I a bad guy for not using remote ID? Is anything grandfather claused in? Do my planes upset people, or do they enjoy seeing them? I've been really fortunate! Every time someone confronted me, I got legit permission to fly the spot. Ive only totalled a UMX TT by looping a wire and ripped the gear off. And wing stalled on a go-around, and a nose over prop breaker on the HH Cessna 150T, heck of a 2nd plane! Saved awhile. I was lucky and had full size experience really young, I'm positive that helped a large degree. I wonder how many other pilots are like me?? ❤

Hey guys I love the vids you have been one of my biggest influences in rc it looks like you guys turned the timber into a slow stick I can't wait for a vid on that also you guys got a huge gasser which will be interesting to see

Every time i fly i make a mistake.... but that's the fun thing about flying..

Thanks once again, for top notch entertaining content. Congrats on mastering Tele-Hover-Master! I hovered my SiG MkII Kadet with OS-50sx on the pipe, but the coolest was really old Italian guy, friend of my Italian instructor named Ray Beanchi in Chelmsford MA field Torque Rolling SiG Seniorita with 3-Chanel(Throttle, Rudder and Elevator only) Hitec radio and controlling it every second for three turns, and doing 4 point rolls with it(or 1/4 Snap Rolls rather). And that is how its done - Snap Rolls and Torque rolls, they said...

In full scale we used to say there are two kinds of RG pilots - those wo have landed gear up, and those who will. The same principle is obviously true in RC, so this list is darkly useful to those of us who have not quite completed it yet.

Lol gopro is me (Also side note, you guys are at 39k now?! I started watching at 200 its cool to see you grow)

Bwaahhaaa at the 3s - 4s 😅 was climbing my old hand me down 2meter hobbyking fpv up for a nice glide down. It looked really neat with the stream of smoke on the steep climb. But, the glide down was shorter than normal. 😅

The AMA insurance gets a bad rap because people don't understand it's secondary. Thanks for mentioning that.

i run so called 3s only planes on 4s all the time and havent fried a motor or esc yet after 9 years its called proper throttle management and down sizing the prop

The best advice I can give: Never ever try to land on the propeller . It will fail .😂😂😂

Warching this after pkugging a 6s lead cable into AliExpress receiver with no esc and wqtching it spark and blow up was a experience

3:15 most noobs don’t know how to check gyro orientation. They check control stick direction with the gyro activated and think this is all they need to do. After all, if the stick moves the control surface the correct way, how can the gyro get it wrong? I’ve seen this happen and the noob defend their actions this exact way. They don’t know what they don’t know.

So gyro is pretty much the Mcas system but for rec planes

Ha I attached a gopro to my friends plane with CG in mind. Flew fine but the 2.4gig Hz seemed to screw with the remote and .......whooops

What kind of music would you recommend for flying if you do listen to any

@tonywright8294

4 ай бұрын

Why do you need music to fly ? Wanker

OMG, that last MpD Commander landing was textbook for my first few flights! I mean why does it flip over???? Oh, yeah, it bounces and goes over.

Another one for the classics playlist. On the Spot as usual fellas. Tail Heavy For The RC Grammies.

I’d argue you missed the biggest one: EVERYBODY STARTS AT THE BOTTOM. This is especially problematic for qualified full-size pilots. I have seen so many noobs come out for their first day with a high-end aircraft (EDF jet being the worst) and proceed to crash on climb out. They then cite a faulty aircraft because they are a legend. How hard can it be to fly a toy plane? “I’m a qualified commercial pilot!” Good for you, now come and learn on the trainer with our instructor.

Mistake #13: always blaming something else for the mishaps, instead of admitting and learning from mistakes. "Radio interference! CG shifted! Battery crapped out!" Yeah. That stuff happens, but if we don't admit our dumb-thumb moments or brain-farts, we're doomed to repeat them.

@toolbaggers

6 ай бұрын

"CG shifted! Battery crapped out" are piloting errors that should have been caught during a preflight check. Radio interference could also be a builders mistake too but that problem should show itself on the first few flights.

@Hoomi2

6 ай бұрын

I have had a few instances of velcro failure causing CG shift when the battery slips loose. I've had a battery run out faster than normal, despite no difference in flying style (not sure what caused it), and fortunately, the results weren't bad. I've quit using my Tactic radio out at our flying field, as there is an area at the northwest corner of the pattern where the planes started acting wonky. If it happened with my Spektrum radio as well, I would think it was possibly something I was doing wrong, but it only happens on the Tactic. Not sure if it's interference, or something in the radio itself. Since Horizon took over the Tactic line and has been phasing it out, I've been converting my planes over to Spektrum anyway, and that just added more motivation to do so. Amusingly, the worst case of velcro failure I ever had, was in my FT Simple Scout. I came out of a loop, and the velcro let go, allowing the battery to complete depart the plane. I thought the Scout was done for, since no battery = no control, but she just glided in and touched down just fine. I've added a strap around the battery.

Good stuff guys, keep the videos coming.

you guys are great good video 👍👍

@6:32 take my money!

6:41 "never take those instances for ..granite?" Like the rock? Or do you mean GRANTED

Does your AMA insurance cover you for the scalding coffee I just blasted out of my nose at the 'flies like an obese woman' skit, because that was LEGENDARY!!! (Disclaimer: I'm not suing.)

So the AMA insurance is useless.

Err 1: i did not have a go pro but a old iphone. i wrapped in font of the plane , crashed the first time but successfully flew and record the second. a good mistake for me.

breaking control surfaces is built into the human brain. when i got my first plane, my sister grabbed the rudder, immediately breaking off the counterbalance. she was literally a baby, its human instinct, not something you learn.

Yea.... that backwards gyro... yea... 😬🤦🏿‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

Idiot - "Just limit the throttle on the controller to 75% and you're all good for 4s." ESC - 😥🥵😡🤬👿🔥

Make a video about glow rc enthusiast!

My pet PEEVE is other INSTRUCTORS that let Students FLY all Willy Nilly. Good Pilots are DISCIPLINED. They put the Airplane where they Want it not where ever it desides to go. i.e. you fly a Pattern till you put it PRECISELY on/ovey the runway the same EVERY SINGLE TIME. Down wind Base and Final/Touch down is exactly the same every time.

Insurance Companies do nothing but try to pass liabilities to the next guy amd weasel out of paying for anything period...ITS THE BIGGEST SCAM OF ALL TIME....Pay your insurance every month and get NOTHING IN RETURN

I am the noob who can only fly FPV

Typical Insurance Companies always passing the buck off to other companies like a game of Hot Potato....

People that don't fly ask if that plane is made of foam I say yeah and they still have to squeeze it or put there fingernail in it ....... really?

So basically requiring ama to fly at a feild is a waste of money since they try not to pay it sounds like! Awesome not!

a) getting into the hobby b) searching for belonging anywhere inside a fictional "community". there is no "community". c) spending money on RC hardware you never got to fly, instead of sims that just... worked Those would be my top 3. If I had to do it over again, a cheap controller and sims, and that's it. Sink the money saved on RC into 4090 GPU or VR headset instead.
