13. Kids at the park saying "cAn I fLy It," and even worse, the parents trying to pry the radio out of your hands (This has happened to me once) Editing this before someone gets mad at me, I'm all about getting kids into the hobby, and usually refer them to relevant sources for where they can get started, but when someone tries to physically pry the radio out of my hands, it's extremely discomforting
Totally right, I am just 15 but friends think they can fly it and in Dutch you can make words small like ‘little plane’ In one word. They make you feel like you are playing with a toy plane while you are flying a efxtra on 6S
Yes, same here. Too many rules and too many know it alls... Don't fly over there or you'll get us kicked out of here. But... you just flew over there? Yeah, well that was the wind pushing me. 😂
For the painted foam .: Clou Aqua Floor and stair laquer. Super common in germany. You just give the foamy 2 coats and you get a super smooth semi gloss coat thats very hard and easy to clean. Weight is also not a worry . On my viper 70 it only did 20gramms .
@@stejer211 no . I mean i didn't try to paint normal spray paint over the lacquer. So I can't tell if it makes the foam spray paint safe. What I know and can tell is that it makes the foam very smooth and prevents already applied paint from coming off .
Just had a battery eject while doing an inverted flight. I mean, yeah i didn't strap the battery properly but this video appearing right after my incident is funny to say the least.
Last week I was flying one of my more beat up models. I had previously lost the battery hatch (which is underneath the fuse), so the battery was attached with only Velcro. I attempted a high g maneuver and the battery immediately ejected and flew a good 75-100ft. The battery was somehow intact, but the plane (a delta wing) quickly entered a flat spin and hit my roof at a rather high speed. It was mostly ok though other than the nose breaking off.
In the RC truck world there’s like a weird cult of people that whine and moan at you for ramping your own truck and risking breaking it, like it’s some sort of special valuable magical thing that should be given respect and preserved in mint condition. They’ll guilt trip you about how instead of having fun with your truck that you bought, the way you want to, that you should donate it to some poor kid so they can have a free truck without learning the value of working to earn something. So then they can be afraid to break it, lest they might have to get a job to buy parts for it. Sending the wrong message. Kids, earn your own money, do chores for your neighbors, get a job, save your money and buy RC toys and enjoy them the way YOU want to. Even if that means destroying them, and don’t let anyone tell you you owe anything to someone else who didn’t work for it. Nobody owes you a free toy, and those who worked to buy their own toys don’t owe you any explanation for how they have fun with their own toy, even if it means smashing it into a brick wall and setting it on fire while you sit on your butt wishing you had one. Stop wishing and go earn one for yourself and if you want to set it on a shelf and take pictures of it all day instead of playing with it, then that’s your choice.
I had a friend who would just take off, do a few circles and land every time he flew. No surprise he recently stopped flying and spends all day on his computer playing COD and War Thunder…
Lots of clubs like my club in the next town is more concerned that everyone has paid there dues than anything else. And the club has funds plenty of funds. No reason to be worried about money but every meeting top priority is dues and money. No one aloud to fly without dues... Just never ends. Sick of it.
@@goldendredger it would be unfair if you paid your dues and someone who didn't would be able to fly right? It's like boarding a bus without paying, imagine how much hate you'd get from other passengers who DID pay
Random guy I have never seen before marched up and screamed at me “ it’s about time you got your ama !” I had only two words. It wasn’t “ I’ve had my ama since age 14……….
Our club is open all week but most of us fly during the week because of every number on your list pluss more. My main complaint is on sunday its the wild west out there. We have 5 stations but there is always 6 people and no one following the same flight path. Its absolute mayhem. But all that aside, ive never met better people than when im at the feild.
I remember my friend, who has absolutely no idea what he is doing, went out to grab my $600 rc spitfire from the runway. Let me just say that somehow a whole aileron and rudder was missing. 😂
There’s more. 1. Engine cut out. 2. People complaining. 3. People crossing the runway if they weren’t told to. 4. Rain and strong winds. There probably more!
I fly in JORDAN (Middle East) and at this time hot weather (over 40C) is also a pain, escs and motors are more prone to getting toasted even if you abide by their rated watts and let's not forget the added bonus of SWEAT trickling into your eye...sometimes you have to wait just before sundown before being able to fly high performance models
@@ammo193 Yeah, I don’t really think about how hot the weather is gonna be but I have days when it becomes too hot to fly! During very hot days, I like to go in the sea and surf then fly later!
For the rough fields, why not get a 5x20 or whatever tarp and nail it down? It won't make it perfect, but it'll keep a wheel from dipping into a small hole. Not sure how it'd do with the friction (or lack of) though.
Paint on foamies can't be helped when that foamie is something like a WW2 warbird (you may have noticed one or two at your local field). Stickers and white foam are great for saving weight on a nondescript bush flyer. That doesn't mean it'll cut it for a P-47.
I had a Hobby Shack Cessna 150 with a O.S. .15 that I coated with Deft floor Polyurethane. It started out looking shiny and new, but Deft didn't stop the dents and chunks of foam from falling off from hangar rash and ground contacts
I had a guy stick a microphone in my face during a demonstration flight with large audience and it became clear that I couldn't talk and fly at the same time...crash. Don't go around one more time if the transmitter starts beeping....crash...
2:17 happened to me today (12/8/24) I picked up a 2nd hand plane for £40 and fixed it to fly. I let someone trim it in the sky (idk how to trim) and I told him "gain hight you *will* crash!" So but he didn't and he sent it nosediving into the runway...
My pet hate... RC model gets discontinued, or company vanishes and then your plane/Heli sits on the shelf because you can't get spares...like Nine Eagles!!!
Frail Glass Slipper Landing Gear. AKA All EFlite landing gear. //// Also, It would be nice to have the option to buy a Plain White Airframe with different sticker "options". Or just paint it my own color scheme. Removing decal's sometimes destroys the foam surface. Some of the factory sticker designs look like something from the Barnham and Baily Circus. Something a Kid would draw up.
I know you guys generally favor light weight, but would you consider clear coating your painted foam airplanes to preserve the plane and its appearance? I see people recommending minwax or modgepodge water based clear.
Have you tried FlightGear? Or Phoenix RC? they're both free and you can get extra aircraft for free, I mean why download a sim that's infested with asshats in multiplayer, charges you lots of money for aircraft to actually be halfways decent in the arcade gameplay that everyone gravitates to?
@@tauncfester3022 it was an exaggeration, I have already got through the grind and now I just play for fun. But hat thank you for the suggestions, I will definitely look into them.
The real solution to pass the transmitter and kids asking if they can fly is to have a proper buddy box system. I'm happy to pass my planes off to someone else knowing I'm starting them three mistakes high with complete authority to take the controls if anything starts to go wrong. I personally use a RadioMaster Zorro and an external 4-in-1 module in my TX16S for painless wireless buddy boxing.
In the gun world alot of people cringe at the sight of a gun being laid down not on a case or thrown in a dump barrel or getting scratched up while being used. Its a tool, use it and learn from it
Red tape provoked me into designing drones that break all the rules. Yes, it can drop things and has a laser bomb sight, and it can tow 20 meters of steel cable for no legal reason whatsoever.
Things that ruin your day out flying, things such as my flying mate buzzing me while I was landing, then screwing up and hitting me, luckily it just left a dent in my foamy, but he left a dent in the runway, ah karma, it's a wonderful thing.
8:37 I am neurotic about checking voltage of packs. Like if I get even a little distracted from my preflite, the next step is check voltage. Even if it’s the third time lol. I saw a friend crash an EF 85” bushmaster because he flew a dead battery, and I’ll be damn sure I never make that mistake.
This is one of the reason I love the Radiomaster ER series of recievers, because they have a voltage telemetry plug, so I can always see the battery charge level (and it will start beeping at me when it gets low). Betaflight/INAV is even nicer because it flashes a big "pack not charged" warning on the OSD if the flight controller powers up and senses a not-full pack.
I hate it that a few core members of the rc club I belong to, do most of the work in maintaining the field. But, the rest of the members reap the benefits of the hard work & dedication of the few. And yes, we imposed a levy on members that didn't commit to doing some work in the past, but many would rather pay the levy anyway. No easy solution for a small club..
My Dynam PBY became a temporary submarine because exactly this happened on take off.Prop came loose, she rolled, stalled, and dove. Thankfully, it's physically fine, it was only a few feet up and hit the water, but it went UNDER. like, fully under for an instant. I thought it was totally gone. She popped back up though. We'll see how the electronics did some time in the next few days, but the plane itself is fine.
We hit an invisible wall in the air. No joke. In summer 2021 we were out flying in a field and my buddys easy star just crashed into something invible in the air. It was right in front of us on the landing. The left wing suddenly got struck and the whole plane turned backwards and came down. The wing had a clear smush mark from the hit ..any ideas on what happend?
I gotta ask an honest opinion as I’m someone happy to build a rough plane and enjoy it! but also appreciate a fine quality model, so is the timber really a good fun plane worth recommending? If it breaks I’ll mod it! I’m not interested in buying parts that break and you’ve got some great fun footage of these being treated rough, I guess what I want to know is are they a cash grab or a good model?
Not "acts of gods', these are choices made by normal humans, where some propeller head thinks, "Gosh, wouldn't a piece of carbon fiber be lighter and sweller than a piece regular old piano wire in this mission critical use...?"
I had two kids physically jumping on me begging to fly, AS I WAS FLYING. That resulted in a minor crash, but I was this close to throwing them to the ground. Annoying ah hel lil dudes
You know I can relate, but in that demographic I've found some pretty generous and knowledgeable old guys who really love the hobby and have multiple decades experience. They're really rare, probably because they don't make friends easily for fear of wasting their time on some idiot.
One of my most annoying moments what when I crashed and lost a Flite test kit and my dad made a facebook post. Some douchebag write a whole 5 paragraph essay on how he had 40 years of experience, how I was “breaking the law” and how an RC plane was essentially a guided missile. Another man started arguing with him and being reasonable while doing so. Anyways, the conversation got deleted by facebook, but thank god I never met that man he probably would tackle anybody he saw with a controller.
Not really why would you want to fumble around with glo starters, fuel, old heavy nicads. And after flying have to clean up the amount of grease left on the plane after a days worth of flights. When all we have to do is plug in and go it’s simpler safer and more powerful.
@@maximusdillo I'm one of those dinosaurs who started flying electrics back when they weighed more than glow planes, and had dismal power and flight times. I'll still fly a well made light balsa and film 0.15 displacement glow model when I can. One of my favorite club fun flight events was our last Sunday of the month float fly, when the club vice president shows up with a O.S. LA .15 powered Sig Wonder, modified with a flying boat hull with big control surfaces that made everyone else's planes look like turds. 25" take off runs with inverted climbing spins.
#1 Random adults (not kids) that think they can touch & fiddle with my 700 nitro helicopter and give me advice on how to make my loops rounder. I've been flying RC helis for 37 years and I'm a aircraft mechanic, I don't want to hear your 2 cents.
Touching aircraft without permission is always a no go. However, in our experience, there's always room to learn, even for pilots with thousands of hours under their belt. This holds true in full scale, especially.
@TailHeavyProductions I totally agree, I was referring more to 'Joe public' with zero experience telling me how to do things. I had one guy tell me my gyro was too old and too big and I should buy a more modern one...he was referring to the clutch bell on my helicopter, he was rather embarrassed when I pointed to the tiny MEMS gyro. 😂
i am sooooo glad i live in india. yes DGCA has rules but they are only strict about tier 1 cities. tier 2, tier 3 cities and rural area, nobody gives a DAMN, rather cops will come help you find your drone or RC plane if it has indian flag on it 👀yes that's exactly why i paint my rcplane in our flag colors. just in case it's lost i can pretend and say it belongs to government and everyone would believe me. 😂just because it has indian flag on it. although i don't fly outside of my hometown but we have 120 acres of crop land and since it's family own. i can do whatever i want there.
13 its happening in Israel i dont know about other places but still, the old guy that tries to convince you in any way even if it hurts you to not fly 3d because its"not precise" when he cant fly any plane and he probably ain't fast enough to see the tricks so he should just shut up
Not a chance. Edited: OK I should Preface to say that my second time flying in Arcade I actually got into a major big furball flying a Hawker Fury and I somehow shot down the opposing team's star pilot. He had it in for me for the following 3 hours I was playing. I was getting comments about being a low tier noob, showing up and pasting their hotshot. I got killed 5 times by that guy, some people in arcade have thin skins. And I was using an RC transmitter with an on-off switch for the guns.

You know I can relate, but in that demographic I've found some pretty generous and knowledgeable old guys who really love the hobby and have multiple decades experience. They're really rare, probably because they don't make friends easily for fear of wasting their time on some idiot.
@@tauncfester3022 true, some of them are really nice and one gave me a free airplane but it’s still a really strict club
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMSTER Plan!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 ) dont start talking to me when im attempting a landing :-(
I hate prices 😂
One of my most annoying moments what when I crashed and lost a Flite test kit and my dad made a facebook post. Some douchebag write a whole 5 paragraph essay on how he had 40 years of experience, how I was “breaking the law” and how an RC plane was essentially a guided missile. Another man started arguing with him and being reasonable while doing so. Anyways, the conversation got deleted by facebook, but thank god I never met that man he probably would tackle anybody he saw with a controller.
i have too many hours in war thunder pls rescue me
Your hatred of nitro is unfounded and odd.
Not really why would you want to fumble around with glo starters, fuel, old heavy nicads. And after flying have to clean up the amount of grease left on the plane after a days worth of flights. When all we have to do is plug in and go it’s simpler safer and more powerful.
@@maximusdillo I'm one of those dinosaurs who started flying electrics back when they weighed more than glow planes, and had dismal power and flight times. I'll still fly a well made light balsa and film 0.15 displacement glow model when I can. One of my favorite club fun flight events was our last Sunday of the month float fly, when the club vice president shows up with a O.S. LA .15 powered Sig Wonder, modified with a flying boat hull with big control surfaces that made everyone else's planes look like turds. 25" take off runs with inverted climbing spins.
Yes what he said.
More tail heavy than a Kardashian sent me😂
Can anyone find me a decent size bf 109 model? I have a micro one and I’ve been searching but can’t really find one
Calling him “yee”
💀💀
Those dudes at the RC fields who act like know it all tyrants are the exact same dudes who, in the gun/2A world we call "Boomer Fudds"
More revews
Guys… you will know when God acts & not like this‼️
what are you trying to say?
It’s funny you guys promote the Rc hobby but have video game sponsors.
Yeah, TH-cam is filled with strange little ironies.
Second
#1 Random adults (not kids) that think they can touch & fiddle with my 700 nitro helicopter and give me advice on how to make my loops rounder.
I've been flying RC helis for 37 years and I'm a aircraft mechanic, I don't want to hear your 2 cents.
Touching aircraft without permission is always a no go. However, in our experience, there's always room to learn, even for pilots with thousands of hours under their belt. This holds true in full scale, especially.
@TailHeavyProductions
I totally agree, I was referring more to 'Joe public' with zero experience telling me how to do things.
I had one guy tell me my gyro was too old and too big and I should buy a more modern one...he was referring to the clutch bell on my helicopter, he was rather embarrassed when I pointed to the tiny MEMS gyro. 😂
i am sooooo glad i live in india. yes DGCA has rules but they are only strict about tier 1 cities.
tier 2, tier 3 cities and rural area, nobody gives a DAMN, rather cops will come help you find your drone or RC plane if it has indian flag on it 👀yes that's exactly why i paint my rcplane in our flag colors. just in case it's lost i can pretend and say it belongs to government and everyone would believe me. 😂just because it has indian flag on it.
although i don't fly outside of my hometown but we have 120 acres of crop land and since it's family own. i can do whatever i want there.
Hmmm , wot about " escaped " Gerbal powered RCs ; gotta be a less onerous jobbie for said creature than that other worse than death fate ...
Anyone wanna trade 35mhz cristals? I got some spare and looking for some
@airforceproud95 of course eating a banana at 1:33 lool. This guy is a legend.
13 its happening in Israel i dont know about other places but still, the old guy that tries to convince you in any way even if it hurts you to not fly 3d because its"not precise" when he cant fly any plane and he probably ain't fast enough to see the tricks so he should just shut up
Never been this early. Love your videos!
Under 100 views club
There is no such thing as "God", and therefore no such thing as an "act of God". 🙄🤦
Is war thunder legit worth it ?
Not a chance. Edited: OK I should Preface to say that my second time flying in Arcade I actually got into a major big furball flying a Hawker Fury and I somehow shot down the opposing team's star pilot. He had it in for me for the following 3 hours I was playing. I was getting comments about being a low tier noob, showing up and pasting their hotshot. I got killed 5 times by that guy, some people in arcade have thin skins. And I was using an RC transmitter with an on-off switch for the guns.
Crashing on purpose when other fliers can see you is tacky at best and probably reflective of a underdeveloped frontal lobe.
We're proudly underdeveloped!
