Foamboards

RC Plane flying and building – Probably this is the only Hobby that involves Engineering, Electronics, Building, Aerodynamics, Model making, etc.

This is a hobby which is demanding and challenging and yet rewarding, when you fly it!

The feeling you get when you fly the plane successfully, is priceless.

As a RC Plane hobbyist for several years I have come to experience this priceless feeling again and again and I want others to feel the same about this hobby.

That is why I have created this STEP-BY-STEP ILLUSTRATED GUIDE , so that with minimum frustration and ‘fuss’ you can go about making your flight a successful one.

This Guide covers some very important segments in the process of flying without which a successful flight will one be a matter of chance! They are,

– How planes fly

– Planes don’t turn, but instead they ‘bank’, why?

– Bank / Roll

– RC Plane banking

– Ground controls

– Your flying field selection

– Taxi & Take off

– Taxi (ground roll)

– Take-off (transition from ground to air)

– Climb & First bank

– Climbing and maintaining altitude

– Flight path

– Stalling : Recognise & Recover from Stall

– Descent & Landing

– Cross wind Landing

– Various Landing Scenarios

This guide is a creation and compilation of some extensive research, both from actual experience and available information.

Lastly, I want to say only one thing about flying RC Planes, “The more you know about them, the better your flying will be”
