Hey Brother, I have to congratulate you for learning to fly by yourself and being so calm about it. Most people freak out and most experienced people also kind of freak out with new builds. I can say that you have all it takes to be a great pilot

Thank you, brother! 😊

The suggestion about buying a dedicated flight radio is probably the most valuable thing if you're going down the RC plane rabbit hole. There are lots of options out there. The new Radiomaster Pocket is pretty sweet for the smaller birds and drones.. worth a look. 👍 What I would suggest to prevent crashes in the future, is keep the plane in front of you like spectators watching a car race.. It will be easier for you to react to an obstacle, rather than turning in a circle following the plane. You can only see so far ahead of you when you're focusing on the plane and reacting to whatever it's doing.. and talking while recording. Not an easy feat!

I’m using the NX8, it’s great and because of it I bought all the umx bnf planes… my favorite is the UMX turbo timber and evo. I love the look and they fly great.

Buy a spectrum nx6,7 or ,8. It's a good investment you can then store 250 models on the radio otherwise you'll end up with a huge collection of cheapy radios. The umx are a quality smaller aircraft. And a spectrum smart charger.

I really like Spektrum products, evidence of this can be seen throughout my channel. But at this juncture, I'm not sure I want to shell out the dough for features I'll never use. This may change. Thanks 🙂

@@bigbristv Don't buy Spektrum radio gear it's way overpriced, buy a Radiomaster TX16s (4 in1). It has the features of $1500+ Spektrum radios. The 4 in 1 can be used across any and all models you can think of, and works with safe. I replaced my RTF Spektrum DxS with one, no issues. Best choice I made, as you can spend money on planes and not on a brand name.

Being a newbie i went with Spektrum because of ease of use vs the overwhelming programming of Radio Master. From what i hear if people are into spending more time tinkering with their radio than flying (not to mention the steep learning curve) then go with Radio Master.

It is fun to see a newbie learning to fly. By the way, the bigger the plane the easier it is to fly. And it is easier to see on your video.

Sky King F959 is a fantastic beginner or permanent aeroplane. Cheap, easy to fly, crashing doesn't harm the propellor, can easily carry a camera or have other upgrades. Only 3 channel as standard but turning quickly flips it sideways so you don't need ailerons.

I like your fly by trials approach. I m learning the same way I love the little voltex planes as they can take a beating. Don't be in a rush to get bigger and better planes. Just practice on the little guys for a while. I don't know how handy you are but there is a great group of people called flight test and they show you how to build your own planes . That way you can buy 1 radio and some receivers and build your own planes. You can get safe they just call it a gryo. You can pick up a nice flysky radio for about 50 bucks so check out some of flight test stuff they are on KZread also. You don't have to start out with the top of the line stuff especially when learning. I don't mind destroying something that took me a few hours time and you can always fix what breaks.

The Spektrum transmitters are awesome! You’re gonna really enjoy it. Possibly helpful tip: The UMX Detroit Miss is a lot more plane than you’re expecting (I fly it a lot and I absolutely love it). The 3S motor REALLY pushes and it can fly really fast (It can eject its own battery in a high G turn if you don’t velcro it down). It’s not a great or even good plane to learn on as it’s fairly advanced and SAFE doesn’t reduce the speed, it only limits bank angle. You should get a UMX sport cub S to bind to your spektrum transmitter to, and fly that until you can take off, hold a pattern (Always keep the pattern in front of you), do some basic aerobatics (loops and rolls), and most importantly, LAND every time. After you do that l then you can probably fly the UMX Detroit Miss. Hope this helps and good luck!

Honestly for me the best option was a 10ch that way retracts flaps no y harnesess for aileron on bigger planes but i had a 6 worked great until i wanted more planes with more functions then i had the 6 setup for umx planes and the kids planes but ultimately ended up phasing those and the 6 out now my kids use mine with a lanyard when they fly i personally like spectrum i havent had any issues so far to complain about expect pilot error but once you have a remote it opens up alot of options for bnf models buy enough for what you want to do so you only need to do it once you should look at the valiant or decathlon from horizon i love both of them i changed out props to fit my style and there a blast there both great flying planes for me and so far ive only had a issue with valiant when i decided to run 4s a few times lol but keep up the work man your doing good looking forward to seeing you take the viper up when your ready they are awesome flying planes

Expensive hobby, buy something like Realflight software and practice for a couple of months before unleashing yourself on these planes. Also, bigger planes are generally slower and have "better" lift. Watch out for bigger birds. 👍

At this point you're probably better off 3D printing your own planes. Reuse the electronics after a crash when possible. Cheapest way. An investment in a 3d printer will go WAY beyond just your RC hobby. Do it right the first time and buy a Bambu Lab or Prusa.

To be honest, I see you have the talent, but lack the knowledge of how to fly. You got two options. 1. Push on and eventually learn to fly by mistakes (the hard and expansive way). 2. Go to a flyingclub!! Get some instructions!!
