10 Actions to be a Better RC Pilot
In this video I will go over 10 actions any flyer can take to become a better RC pilot. No special equipment is needed. Just some ideas to make your time at the RC field more fun and enjoyable.
Idea is try and not go out to the RC field and simply bore holes in the sky for the afternoon, and not doing anything to improve your flight skills.
I include a good discussion on RealFlight RC computer simulator, showing the flight of the Horizon Hobby E-flite Timber, the Sig Spacewalker, Extra 300 and a Sopwith Pup WWI biplane, comparing and contrasting their flight characteristics.
Following are the chapters on 10 actions to be a better RC pilot!
1. Have a "junker" airplane
2. Find the right airplane to fly
3. Learn aerodynamics
4. Fly to crash
5. Remember to have fun
6. Embrace an RC simulator
7. Buy more batteries
8. Land, land and land again
9. Practice dead stick landings
10. Set goals for each flight
