    Ahhh I love it seeing I started flying with radio control . My dad and I did this it was our thing . He was the greatest builder as the plans we flew we got in kits and had to glue , sand , cover ,and install the radio system . I turned out to be the test pilot after I got good at flying dad was the mechanic and loved to watch and did fly some but as most kids do the pass their parents lol .this was the best memory’s of my life with dad and the last was soon after I got my pilots license I took him flying on his birthday dec 24 to go see various airplanes he worked on in the air force from navions to jets . 7 months later dad passed but I have great memories . I just had to share.

    I think learning RC before getting my PPL ended up being a benefit. Being able to make an airplane do crazy things helped me visualize what a plane does while I was in the cockpit, especially when it came to stalls and spins (and avoiding them.)

      You can take an RC pilot, put them in a full scale plane and they can very rapidly make the transition. The other way around does not go so well! Someone on TH-cam did a video on this a few years ago with predictable results. I suspect if a full scale pilot did FPV with an RC plane it would go much better.

      @@FlyMIfYouGotM Agreed. I started passengering in a mates Bell 47 heli and over time I wound up clocking about 500 hours up as passenger/copilot/groundcrew/navigator but also spent about 10 to 15 hours at the controls myself THEN took up RC models after losing a second friend, the first to a gyrocopter and that second one to an ultralight and a third alive but crippled. I have flown fixed wings a few times and RC is a whole different animal. I would rate helis as hardest to get coordinated and natural feeling but not too hard once you've developed the muscle memory and reversed all the things that were natural from growing up with billy carts and motorbikes with RC planes having that unique problem of zero seat of the pants and that reverse everything as it's coming towards you or inverted taking a while then both them and the full size heli both requiring a fair amount of concentration while full sized single engine high wing being pretty relaxed and easy. Of course, with the RC you'll always find it takes more concentration even later because you will do things you'd never be game to try in an expensive full sized aircraft, especially since mistakes there are often deadly so, you'll always be stretching your limits with the RC. They're all great fun though.

    I've flown R/C since 1963. I got my PPL in 1975. It's easier to go from R/C to full scale than it is from full scale to R/C. The aerodynamics are the same, but not being inside the plane makes it harder, especially when it's coming toward you. Funny stuff!

      @@AndysEastCoastAdventures I fly RC, though not as regular since I've been stuck where I am away from my gear for family reasons for a few years now I was flying RC average about 3 times a week and have a mate who I fly regularly with in his Bell 47 full size and tried teaching him, who flies his heli AND 3 Cesna 150s and a 177 he and his son own. I teach others quite a lot so had a second radio and buddy box cord so I can immediately take over if a student gets into trouble. He had more trouble than even most non flying beginners lol. I think he was feeling embarrassed as he quit even trying and just pretended he only wanted to watch anyway, hah. There are strong similarities but, RC has no seat of the pants feel for stalling or anything, you've got to learn to feel slugishness in controls and visual clues and that coming towards yourself or inverted are completely different.
      A tip I learnt that helps when confused that I didn't learn till about my 5th crash was if confused, simply turn your body to face roughly the direction the model is flying. Even though you may have to turn your head a fair way to look at it, it's surprising how suddenly natural a turn suddenly feels coming towards yourself.

      Flown rc a long time. And being a full scale pilot first makes it harder for some rc pilots. having the plane fly back at you is difficult to learn once you have flown in the seat .. But I also know many fullscale pilots that fly rc.. its just a bit different for them to learn at the beginning.

      @RCNITROPRODRIVERS ปีที่แล้ว +4

      If you were to fly a real plane first time it would help alot If you already have mastered rc planes and aerobatics, not so very much The other way around because you need to rewire your muscle memory or get a new skill of mastering rc flight,
      Rc planes like this always stray to be as closelyc scale to the real thing while still completely different with much less awareness of The direction when all u have is sight of The aircraft, BUT after hundreds of rc flights you have as good if not better control with rc plane no matter what direction its facing
      Hop in a real plane and you just get more inputs like g force and of course being fixed with The planes movements, But all The controls do The same as on rc

    So, my dad and me got up about 6.30am just so we had enough time to climb the tree and get the plane back before my mum wanted to leave.

    Back in the day, before Amazon was in the location they are now on County Line Road between Lakeland and Plant City, we used to fly our gliders and racing planes. We had tons of pilots landing at the Lakeland Linder coming out to get flying lessons for doing the RC planes thing. Several of them showed us pictures they'd taken of our gliders up with them. Of course, this was way before everyone started losing their minds on mishaps and stuff. Out of the major part of 40 years i've been flying RC, i've never had a complaint nor an accident that ever resulted in personal or private property damage. Us 'ole folk i guess just had more respect for what we were flying and those around us. I also worked at the Plant City airport too so, i kinda' already knew several of the pilots and FBO crews, which i'm sure helped a lot too.

    From what I’ve been told by pilots is that flying towards yourself is hardest because the controls are basically reversed being I’ve never flown a real plane I didn’t have a problem with it

      The worst is if your plane is far away, and you lose eye contact for a while. Then you have to gently prope the controls to see how it reacts, to be sure.

    I LOVED this video Jimmy!! I'm an old R/C plane flyer..
    SOOO fun to watch you guys "Just try it..." haha.. I think you know a LOT more than you let on, but just in case.... 😎
    Best tip I ever got, was you have left and right when flying AWAY from you... But when flying R/C towards you, use the Aileron stick to the LOW wing to keep level.
    "Left and right when flying away, Stick to the low wing when flying towards yourself"..

    Well I guess this reassures me that I can be a good full-scale pilot.. I know you're hamming it up, but all the same, I learned to fly with the Carbon Cub and got so many flights in without a crash until someone ran me off the runway during my landing. Even after than I easily fixed it up after breaking the tail off and it still works well. If you read the manual and take a little care these can be a great investment and be a great introduction to flying rc airplanes. Your video really gives people the wrong idea of what to expect unless they're just trying to wreck things for laughs.

    We appreciate that you put the disclaimer at the bottom of the video about there are rules about flying RC on or near an airport and full scale aircraft. Learning about aviation and the same rules apply to RC planes as full scale so there is a lot to learn even though many people would look at this as only a "toy". "Toys" and "Play/fun" can have a real educational side effect. Like the last flight of the Carbon Cub where is was flying "all wacky" was more than likely cause by weight and balance issue. The landing gear was swinging all over the place upsetting the balance and stability of the aircraft. Just like would happen in a full scale aircraft. See educational!

    Keep in mind the stuff your flying has built in stabilization so it makes it easier to fly. The cub is modeled after Chandra Patey's carbon cub. I have been flying RC since the 80s with some stick time in full sized. I find the real ones are easier to fly with the exception of IFR flying.

    Jimmy I started building RC airplanes in the early 1970's. They didn't have any that were ready to fly from the hobby shop. The first few I built, I designed myself and cut all the pieces of balsa our with a razor blade. I would use old surplus Cox 049 engines to power the airplanes. As I got older I was able to buy some kits. I think people miss something by not having to build their own RC airplane. Through the years, I have taught a lot of people how to fly.
