Time Stamps:
00:00 - Acquiring the Mod Menu by using the Takeoff Lesson in Flight School
04:00 - Acquiring the Barbershop Menu by using the Takeoff Lesson in Flight School
07:10 - Placing the Jetpack in the Transfender and then beginning "Beefy Baron"
11:35 - Flying the Unique/EP/FP (Explosion Proof and Fire Proof) RC Baron back to the Garage
12:00 - Canceling out of the Mod Menu and Barbershop Menu and teleporting the Berkley's RC Van to Transfender
12:10 - Picking up the Jetpack and flying back to the Garage to shoot and blow up the RC Baron to fail the Mission and respawn back at Zero's
14:15 - Proving the EP/FP Properties and showing off the Unique/EP/FP RC Baron
This Method will ONLY WORK for the Definitive Edition because it's the only Platform/Version that allows this Method using Flight School. This does NOT WORK on PS2, Xbox, or PC with this Method. This also DOES NOT WORK on Mobile because after you teleport the Van to the Transfender, CJ never exits it and it's stuck to the ground.
Other than this RC Baron and the one from "Supply Lines...," there's also the one from "Air Raid" which can be obtained using OM0 shown here - youtube.com/watch?v=pllufOQx04M
Every time you see me press Pause and Unpause after I enter/exit a Vehicle while the whole Flight School Takeoff Lesson is going is because if I don't, the Lesson would cancel. For whatever reason, if you play with a Controller unlike Keyboard/Mouse Controls, you can't just enter/exit a Vehicle. You have to hold the button to enter/exit, press Pause, let go of the enter/exit button, then Unpause and now you can freely move. Rinse and repeat the process every single time you want to enter/exit a Vehicle. This goes for Nintendo Switch and all that jazz, too. If you are exclusively on the PC Platform and playing the Definitive Edition and are using Keyboard/Mouse Controls, you won't have to Pause/Unpause like shown here.
I enter Flight School and select the Takeoff Lesson. I leave the Plane doing what I explained above. I go to Transfender. I CANCEL the Takeoff Lesson at the same time as I enter the Red Marker and acquire the Mod Menu. I then restart the Takeoff Lesson. I then HOLD the exit Vehicle button until the Mission fails. I then find the AC Tower (Safehouse) to regain vision.
After finding the AC Tower and regaining vision, I start Takeoff again and exit the Plane and head to the Barbershop repeating the steps from above and finding the AC Tower a second time. Only this time, I can't sprint to reach the AC Tower. Must walk slowly on foot or you activate the Barbershop Menu.
Placing the Jetpack inside of the Transfender as shown is mandatory. When you cancel out of both Menu's, which will spawn the Berkley's RC Van inside of the Transfender, CJ will exit it and just keep walking in one direction. He needs to pick up the Jetpack in order to move after this part, or he'll be stuck in the Transfender forever. You also only have two minutes to begin the Mission and get back to the Jetpack, or it vanishes.
After you blow up the RC Baron and the Mission fails, be careful not to walk into the Red Marker to begin the Mission again like I did in the Video by accident. Even though you can obtain this RC Baron after 100% Completion, I do NOT recommend it since this Side Mission will ALWAYS add a Mission Attempt to the Stats! Obtaining it TOGETHER with the AP Berkley's RC Van from "Supply Lines..." is far better due to saving a Mission Attempt in the process!
Note that the Zero Missions (Z) are OPTIONAL to progress the Story, but are REQUIRED for 100% Completion. With that said, you'll need to pass all three Zero Missions in order to unlock "Beefy Baron" Side Mission.
I am recording this Video on the Definitive Edition. Game Version is Version 1.01 of GTA San Andreas for PC.
