It's really funny to see your experiences, but you could really save money and time or buy better transmitter/receiver combos if you first buy an airplane built like the "easystar" and really learn to fly in a relaxed manner. PS: hope you don't lose the fun, because as written, it's really entertaining!

Thanks. Maybe she'll come home, I was just out there. No sign of her 😔

Hate to see you loose a plane like others have said a recovery boat is a must. It might not seem like much but that front gear needed to go it throws off you c.g. and digs into the water, You really need to be good at landing on the ground to try water landings and personally I wouldnt do it unless the plane had reverse thrust to that helps get it back to you better luck to you its a fun part to get into I recently got the fms Cessna I am loving it

Live and learn but you are learning the hard way buddy with the loss of a plane. Years ago I lost a plane when we had only FM or Am radios and someone turned on their radio with the same channel as I had. A dog walker found the plane and I was able to repair it after working on it for a month when it was made of balsa wood. The guy who turned on his radio with the same channel said he would give me a few bucks but never did. He was a jackass and I never saw him again.

Sorry for your loss. I feel as tho I got my money's worth with that plane and have learned a valuable lesson.

I hope the Ranger finds its way home. Cobra looks awesome too, the journey continues…..

Thanks! Hopefully a better time will be had with the Cobra...

Yeah mine was fun. Flying and enjoying, then battery dies and it drops like a rock into the river.

Half the fun of flying is venturing into the unknown, but too bad about the Ranger. I know you were liking that plane and hopefully you can get it back someday. That Cobra in both sizes looks like a fun plane though! Looking forward to it

Subscribing to see you crash the p-39 Racing Cobra in about 5 seconds. I agree with your mentality about having fun, I just don't think you're aware that fun is enjoyment x time, not just the intensity of a short burst of enjoyment, and you will end up with more time flying and more total fun in the long run if you get a trainer, join a club, get an instructor and prevent yourself from failing out of this hobby. Good luck either way, I'll be watching for the trainwreck or the glory, whatever may come.

Hey man I’m in the same boat. I’m from CT and new to flying. I bought a cheap $35 Amazon plane to practice on and I did good then I bought a Strix nano goblin and I can’t keep it in the air. If I break it my next plane if I break the nano goblin will be a zohd drift dark breeze. I seen it’s easier to fly

@oscarvandale7775 the whole "no gyro", you MUST do it this way angle is very short sighted and people pushing that agenda are adding unnecessary stress on people which may ultimately push them away from the hobby. You can start your own channel if you want to push people away.

TRULY a high wing trainer will get you there fastest...im at 10 weeks😉 loops, rolls and spectacular crashes! I've got floats for my Maule m7 (and a boat to chase it with) but I'm totally not ready. I can glue the crashes, but when the electronics get wet 💸💸💸

I don't know anyone that's flown off of water and doesn't have a retrieval boat. I guess you thought you were a good enough pilot to take off and land on the water and taxi back to you. Oh boy just don't hurt anyone. 🤠🤠🤠

Find a local club and get some training or you will continue to stack up wrecked and lost planes. Much more fun to fly when you are successful. Cheaper too.

Facts. 😁

My man, can you explain something to me? You need to be careful where you fly. You have competing airports there with major traffic. It sounds funny, but your model can get out of shape and end up in the flight path of a major airport with real traffic. You have two majors near your launch. Just be careful. You are flying in NY's most heavily flown approaches, LGA and JFK!!! Actually, you have no business flying there. There is a very real reason why you start with a TRAINER at a certified flying field. If you hit something or someone and they are "SUE" happy, you will be flying nothing and maybe even do a Bid. Just sayin

Never go fly a float plane with out a boat to retrieve it, sad to loose it but lesson learnt 🥲 If your going to star flying more technical planes think about a Radiomaster radio wity ELRS recivers. Painless 360 has some great videos.

I’d say 4 in 1 and can always get ELRS module that’s better than built in ELRS. Flysky receivers are $10 and pair easily.
