I have learn a lot from you guys. I am 47 and a absolute beginner, showed me a few things about battery safety I did not know about. Thanks for the info.

I just watched this whole series and I really enjoyed it so much that at the age of 58 I am thinking of taking up flying. Thank you so much for doing this series.

Thank you so much for this series, I went from not even knowing how to turn 90 degrees to knowing all about batteries and transmitters and now how to perform aerobatics.

This explanation of basic stunts seems very clear and do able. I'll be practicing on my simulator a lot before trying them for real.

Guys, I really wanted to thank you. Just found your beginner series, watched them all, found them to be fantastic. Thank you, they really gave me things to think about, and processes to try

Merry Christmas Flitetest......

Merry Christmas flitetest!

I just finished this series. It was very helpful and informative. Thanks guys for investing your time for us new guys. Happy flying

THANK YOU Guys!!! I'm new to the hobby and you guys have saved me a lot of time, money and frustration with this beginner series! Can't thank you enough!!!! Keep em coming!

Merry Christmas Flitetest - you brighten our lives

Thanks for the series Beautiful!

this is a very good series. after a month or so of watching this and reading up on everything i flew for the first time today. so much fun even if you fly like crap and crash a few times in the beginning, haha. anyway, can totally recommend this series to anyone who is curious in RC planes and wanna try it!

You guys have done a great job with all your videos. I'm new to the hobby and finding your site has been a blessing. Both/all the hosts are easy to listen to and clear. The use of humor and humility is a great touch. Your openness and inviting spirit is a breath of fresh air in a hobby space that is challenging to begin/grow in as a kid or as an adult. Josh B. is a wonderful ambassador for the hobby with a really strong grasp of the material. Thanks for sharing and working to make this hobby space accessible for all who are interested. Every time I take a heli or glider out, I hear Josh reminding me to be three mistakes high! Thanks again for all the hard work and video production. It looks and sounds great! Cheers. CD. Illinois.

This seems like the best episode to start on...

Aloha, and Mele Kalikimaka from Hawai'i!! Thanks guys for a great series. Still haven't gotten into the air yet. I know with your help I'll be up there soon!! Mahalo nui loa!

Just watched this series again. So much good info here. Thanks for putting this together! Kinda makes me want to get a trainer and learn all over again!

Really love the Beginner series. Very informative. Would love to see more like this.

Hello Flite Test, I want to say a HUGE thanks for motivating me and helping me into this amazing Hobby! I recently bought my first aircraft (Tex PA34) and flew it for the first time yesterday. It was a BLAST! Thank you so much and keep up the great job!

I just finished watching the whole 10 series and really found it to be a Fantastic experience! all the pointers given explains why I have had too many crashes with no successful maiden flights. all my hand launches and ground launches are fatal due to full speed throttle. In real plane that's what you do forgetting that you run it up smoothly. Well I will be trying again and probably watching the beginner series a few more times.

thank you guys for those marvelous series, I've learned tons thanks to them, very informative and educational. it was about time someone came with this idea, and better yet, it was you!!! again THANK YOU!!

Its been a great series guys. Sad to see it over! But its a huge hobby and I'm sure you'll be wowing us all with something new in no time. Thanks for all the brilliant vids so far

This should be a regular segment of the show. Good stuff!

Thanks for the schooling/entertainment, looking forward to getting my simulator! Keep up the great work!

Thanks so much for this beginner's series!

Thanks FT! I just finished the series. So glad I stumbled on your vids. First it was on a review in the delta ray. The video was so well made I knew it was the first sign of gold. That's when I found this series and about your team altogether. I initially inspired by gas warbirds vids on KZread, but knew I had to take baby steps to get there (if so lucky). Then this beginner series helped so much and putting structure and objectives on what I need to do to get up in the air. You also helped get me acquainted with the Apprentice and I believe this is a better choice over the delta day for me and in the long run. And after seeing the Phoenix on this episode... It seems this needs to be part of my setup. Thank Horizon Hobby. Thanks Hobby King. I'll be putting my orders soon to both of you. Keep up the good Flite Test!

Thanks for all your help with the RC hobby. Marry Xmas to everyone at Flite Test.

I was having a terrible day ...... dont need to go in detail but just want to say a big thank you! You guys are great!

Finished the whole series today also take important notes from the web articles...thanks a lot

thanks for another year of informative and entertaining videos and podcasts!

Great stuff,guys! It's great to see these fun maneuvers explained well.Merry Christmas to you.:-)

I've learned a lot in this series, I'll be experiencing my first flight here in the distant future with my Knuckles H-Quad. Never been this excited before and I haven't even built it yet :D.

Thanks for the series, it's been great!

Merry Christmas Flite Test!

Great series guys, well I think you hooked me into getting a plane!

Great job guys! I enjoyed the series! I use Phoenix myself and love it. I hope you and your families had a Merry Christmas and you have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Thank you for this beginner series of videos, it is very helpful to a newbie, You gentlemen represent the best of your generation.

You dude's have a great show. Great mix of personalities.👍

Phoenix does have the apprentice. It is in the trainer tab.

Merry Christmas from London, UK

Bring this series back with all the new advancemts in 5 years

A lot of these concepts apply to aerobatics in helicopters as well, apart from some minor control differences. Talking about damaging the airframe brought back a memory from a time where I did an extremely fast, tight loop with a helicopter at full collective and full cyclic. That day I learned that when you buy very cheap blades, you get what you pay for. I also learned that it is very difficult (Read: Impossible) to fly a helicopter with half of the main rotor missing.

thanks for this beginner series

Nice way to finish off the series guys!

Update your simulator! The phoenix has the apprentice! Thanks for this series. Its been helping a lot!

"Too much speed and too much input can hurt your airframe." No wonder that in the simulator, flying a Mitsubishi Zero, if I turn hard left on the rudder and hard right on the ailerons, the plane breaks apart in pieces in mid air!

Very informative you guys. Thanks

Truly awesome guys

Great series, would love to see some multi engine stuff, or maybe a gasser basic video.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to your team. Love your show. Can't wait till I get my first trainer. Doing some Flight Sim's now. Seems like a great idea, Sims that is. Peace to Flite Test

Nice series. Just got an apprentice s and I watch the full series. It was very helpful.

I got a bixler for xmas, easiest thing to assemble ever. Its -11 here, so just waiting for a little more mild weather and i will be up in the air. I have spent countless hours on the sim and am ready !

When I got my sport cub s in october i never thought i would be able to do a loop in just a few months Edit: i chose the sport cub s from your review and you guys inspired me to get it

Justbought my first plane thanks to this playlist! It's a Duet from HobbyZone!

hay guys, great series really enjoyed them, i think a multi rota DIY build beginners series would be really good as well . happy Christmas

I got the F949 Cessna 182 small 'plane with 3 channel control. It was very cheap, ready to fly and will keep going for up to 25 minutes. It can also carry a camera and still fly for a long time. I've not had the chance to try it out properly yet, but I'll be following your little training series advice. But practicing with a simulator I've been seeing that I don't really need ailerons as using the rudder makes the aircraft tilt, allowing for very fast turns - but I'll soon see how that works out in reality... When I got into archery I started using a training bow, and everybody was saying how I would want to upgrade to something stronger, more accurate with greater range, more and more power, greater distance as I progressed. But still after 2 years, though I don't shoot a massive amount, I am still well satisfied with my training bow and see no need to upgrade it. I suspect it may be the same with 'planes. If my training 'plane is easy to fly, moves from point A to point B like a personal car, can do what I need, looks cool, can manoeuver beautifully (theoretically) and is reliable and economical, why would I want to change it?

Great video! Rolling out on top of a loop though is an Immelmann not a Cuban Eight. In a Cuban Eight you don't rollout until you are on the backside of the loop in the 45 degree down line and then proceed into a second loop.

Would love to see a beginner friendly design and kit that can easily and safely perform all of these maneuvers, includes prop/motor/battery suggestions, AND can be upgraded to intermediate/advanced via simple modifications to the plane and/or prop/motor/battery. I'm sure that's asking a lot, but from what I've seen I'm sure you can pull it off. Keep up the good work!

0:48 he laughed He again: that’s not good.

Josh & Josh Great Video & Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !

As a note, you CAN do a rudder roll with a 3ch airplane - ailerons not needed. There are multiple types of roll. Another gent on youtube is trying to instruct a barrel roll and clearly doing an aileron roll, or axial roll.

CrossThread Aero Industries and.. snap rolls

Thanks for the great christmas present

firm believer of flying mode 1..to separate the roll and elevator controls..I use to fly mode 2 but found it so much simpler to do aerobatics on mode 1 especially for beginners..

hey guys, cool series. i see the pulsejet perched back there and is it also a p-51? whatever it is it looks great! cant wait to see what the pulsejet gets put on!

Fantastic series - learned a lot more than I thought I would. Bought RealFlight simulator - please tell me the planes look bigger in real life than they do in the sim - they get really small, really fast!

Amazing info and video :-)

Hey guys, I just got done watching all of the videos you have uploaded to your channel (All 400+ of them lol). They are very well done, and useful for a newer pilot (I've learned a LOT). I've been flying my Beast 3D AS3X for a while now, and I would love to see a video about basic 3D Aerobatics from you guys. Thanks!

Nice video and merry christmas

Merry Christmas, FT team! Best wishes from Russia.

Merry Christmas from a hot Summer South Africa,, like always cool video's guys,,Keep Well

Nice series. Though I've been flying for a few years now, I still found it enjoyable to watch, and forwarded it to some beginner friends. How about a new series for the intermediate pilot? From a fellow Ohioan... Hope to see you at Toledo 2014!

2 words...swappable Viggen!

Hey Flite Test guys, hope you had a great holiday. I must disagree with you about one minor thing: You can do a roll with rudder only, provided that you have enough throw on the rudder, and that you add some forward stick while inverted. I have done perfect rolls with a Sig Lil' Rascal, and a Super Cub, using this technique. I will say it is not a beginner manuever with these planes, but it is pretty easy once you get the feel for it. A beginner may not have enough throw on the rudder to do it, but time will improve their flight, and then they can set it for higher rates. My rudder on my Sig is set to almost touch the elevator.

You guys are dope af and hilarious!! Lol Cheers bros from cdmx!

Apprentice is what I use on Phoenix most (still a beginner), but I think it was one of the many downloadable planes. I have used a couple different sims, and Phoenix is definitely my favourite!

Merry cristmas! I'm getting a simulator for cristmas. Good luck to u guys!

You guy's, I want to thank you and your show for convincing me to start flying. The weather has been better finally and I finally have had time to spend a lot of time flying. So calming, till I moved the throws between the servos and the shoehorns... The oh S*!#% button has saved my plane so many times.

I'm 13 u inspired me to fly last year but I learned on a 4 ch and I'm learning 3D

Thank you

You guys should have a tv show.

I would love to see a beginner series for gasser biplanes.

Hey flitetest great video. Can you make. Video of you flying the su-27 and doing the cobra manuver

If you have enough rudder you can do a barrel roll if you pull back and give a lot of rubber.

And its really good

Looking to get the New Year Krakken!

.......this is gonna be GOOD!! ;)

Frohe Weihnachten! :) You could do a beginner series for RC Helis. The errors you can do with them are almost the same as with planes, only much more expensive and frustrating. A nice guide would have saved me a b*t-load of money ;)

I just bought my first quadcopter X525 and Ive never had any flying models before so I would like a series on multirotors just because I have a hard time keeping orientation correct with it and Im a newbie.

U guys should do a multiroter beginners series. I would be very interested.

I googled snap roll and it defined it as using elevator and rudder (but no aileron) - and this was for general aviation (not rc specific) .....so based on that in theory it sounds like a 3 channel RC should be able to do a snap roll - if it has enough throw and horse power

I've actually done a roll in an Easystar 1!

i love this channel i crashet first with me bein plane and i want to stop but then i looked to your viedeos and now i can fly good
