    Thanks for mentioning the ama “insurance” thing. So many are pushing the ama membership as an insurance policy, and it is not. It used to be like the GOA or FPC for RC pilots and would protect our rights but not so much any more.

    • @Hoomi2
      @Hoomi2 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I was told early in my RC flying that it's not IF you will crash, it's WHEN. Sooner or later, we all crash. I realized I was maturing in the hobby when a crash didn't discourage me from flying more that day.

      so many of my planes "fall" out of the sky on on approach because they stall out on the final turn. Got to do the base turn very far away and carry speed right up to the landing flare.

  • @JanHenk-k1b
    @JanHenk-k1b หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    2:12 this rings true for not just RC planes, but other hobbies aswell. I made a small railway diorama once for a school project, and one of the wagons kept derailing due to a very small wheel-base. "Luckily", the people that were inspecting the diorama set it upon themselves to put the wagon back on the tracks, not by gently placing it back on the rails and ensuring its placed correctly, but by litteraly slamming and pushing the model, like that was gonna work.

    LOL i legit put a go pro on my FMS PA-18 1300mm within a week of buying it. I even bought the gopro for the sole purpose of putting it on my plane. Luckily for me I put it under the wing all the way into the fuselage and lined it up with the CG. Didn't even get any counter weights and it flies beautifully. That plane is a beast!

    In full scale we used to say there are two kinds of RG pilots - those wo have landed gear up, and those who will. The same principle is obviously true in RC, so this list is darkly useful to those of us who have not quite completed it yet.

    Imagine:
    Teaching yourself to fly with no prior model experience, watches, but never flown with a club, or ANYBODY else for that matter (idk anyone personally that flys ANY RC, all crawl), never knew Sims for RC where a thing. I still have so many questions. Is it considered normal to see a school track as a PERFECT runway when not in use? Do other ppl REALLY fly the park? Am I a bad guy for not using remote ID? Is anything grandfather claused in? Do my planes upset people, or do they enjoy seeing them? I've been really fortunate! Every time someone confronted me, I got legit permission to fly the spot. Ive only totalled a UMX TT by looping a wire and ripped the gear off. And wing stalled on a go-around, and a nose over prop breaker on the HH Cessna 150T, heck of a 2nd plane! Saved awhile. I was lucky and had full size experience really young, I'm positive that helped a large degree. I wonder how many other pilots are like me?? ❤

    @Lozzie74 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I’d argue you missed the biggest one: EVERYBODY STARTS AT THE BOTTOM. This is especially problematic for qualified full-size pilots. I have seen so many noobs come out for their first day with a high-end aircraft (EDF jet being the worst) and proceed to crash on climb out. They then cite a faulty aircraft because they are a legend. How hard can it be to fly a toy plane? “I’m a qualified commercial pilot!” Good for you, now come and learn on the trainer with our instructor.

    Bwaahhaaa at the 3s - 4s 😅 was climbing my old hand me down 2meter hobbyking fpv up for a nice glide down. It looked really neat with the stream of smoke on the steep climb. But, the glide down was shorter than normal. 😅

  • @Lozzie74
    @Lozzie74 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    3:15 most noobs don’t know how to check gyro orientation. They check control stick direction with the gyro activated and think this is all they need to do. After all, if the stick moves the control surface the correct way, how can the gyro get it wrong? I’ve seen this happen and the noob defend their actions this exact way. They don’t know what they don’t know.

    Thanks once again, for top notch entertaining content. Congrats on mastering Tele-Hover-Master! I hovered my SiG MkII Kadet with OS-50sx on the pipe, but the coolest was really old Italian guy, friend of my Italian instructor named Ray Beanchi in Chelmsford MA field Torque Rolling SiG Seniorita with 3-Chanel(Throttle, Rudder and Elevator only) Hitec radio and controlling it every second for three turns, and doing 4 point rolls with it(or 1/4 Snap Rolls rather). And that is how its done - Snap Rolls and Torque rolls, they said...

    Culture is certainly different in places, gyros is something usually only to be found in helicopters where I am about. Also not a single folding prop in sight, which are pretty much a requirement since most sailing planes do not habe a traditional landing gear.

  • @Hoomi2
    @Hoomi2 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Mistake #13: always blaming something else for the mishaps, instead of admitting and learning from mistakes. "Radio interference! CG shifted! Battery crapped out!" Yeah. That stuff happens, but if we don't admit our dumb-thumb moments or brain-farts, we're doomed to repeat them.

    • @toolbaggers
      @toolbaggers 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      "CG shifted! Battery crapped out" are piloting errors that should have been caught during a preflight check. Radio interference could also be a builders mistake too but that problem should show itself on the first few flights.

    • @Hoomi2
      @Hoomi2 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have had a few instances of velcro failure causing CG shift when the battery slips loose. I've had a battery run out faster than normal, despite no difference in flying style (not sure what caused it), and fortunately, the results weren't bad. I've quit using my Tactic radio out at our flying field, as there is an area at the northwest corner of the pattern where the planes started acting wonky. If it happened with my Spektrum radio as well, I would think it was possibly something I was doing wrong, but it only happens on the Tactic. Not sure if it's interference, or something in the radio itself. Since Horizon took over the Tactic line and has been phasing it out, I've been converting my planes over to Spektrum anyway, and that just added more motivation to do so.
      Amusingly, the worst case of velcro failure I ever had, was in my FT Simple Scout. I came out of a loop, and the velcro let go, allowing the battery to complete depart the plane. I thought the Scout was done for, since no battery = no control, but she just glided in and touched down just fine. I've added a strap around the battery.

    a) getting into the hobby
    b) searching for belonging anywhere inside a fictional "community". there is no "community".
    c) spending money on RC hardware you never got to fly, instead of sims that just... worked
    Those would be my top 3. If I had to do it over again, a cheap controller and sims, and that's it. Sink the money saved on RC into 4090 GPU or VR headset instead.

      I have been immersed in the "fictional" Hobby for the last 10+ years.... I love tech... but NOT to the point that it separates me from The Real World and Real People... I feel sorry for you, but guess what... You are your own worst enemy....

      @@old_coastie Don't feel sorry for me, I have way more fun than you do LOL :-) I never break a model or have to pull out my credit card to repair it. I fly every day, flying is just a double click away. Time to upgrade your play to 2023!
      RC is an obsolete way to fly, and when it's not, it's used for k1lling people in Russia and Ukraine...

      I got out of the RC hobby because all of the mean and nasty boys in it. On the computer you can fly all you want without getting the controller taken from you or told what to do, or patronized like a second class citizen or talked trash about behind your back when you weren't around. All the girls I know fly that use to fly kwads in the early days fly the sim instead now.

      @@old_coastie I think she said the community is fictional, not the hobby. She's right about that... you got to watch your stuff at FPV events lest it grow legs and walk off, if you know what I mean. BubbyFPV is one widely known for his sticky fingers.

      An old wing guy in the hobby patronizingly talking down to a girl in the hobby. Not just any girl, but like THE GIRL. Choppergirl is a legend.
      Who would of thought? And they wonder why their AMA clubs are sausage fests LOL

    A fictional character doesn't have any form of control over you or your machine (airplane).
