beginner

so.... Right now I'm 15 years old and a noob in this awesome hobby. I bought myself a hobbyzone champ because everybody tells it's a good beginner plane... Well, I soon found out that even what people call a beginner plane isn't even that easy to fly. I already have a great nano qx and know...

Was wondering what you guys think are good beginner fixed wing planes that one could grow into. I would like to be able to purchase it as a RTF kit , because I am very new at this hobby. I also don't want to spend a whole lot. Is there anything under $100 that would fit my criteria? I have been...

I really want to try out RC planes and the speedbuilds offered here seem to fit my taste but without ANY experience Im not quite sure what kind of plane would suit me. I think I would prefer the bank and yank type but I want it to be easy to get started but not dull after a few month of flying...

Hi Folks, Just a bit of info for 1st time builders like myself in Australia. Having looked at the FliteTest beginner videos I decided to build the Nutball Swappable. I purchased the recommended hardware from Hobby King including the orange 6 channel transmitter. When it came to ordering the...

Hi, everyone, I've seen the beginner series and I got really confused on the battery episode. I didn't understand about charging them, mainly. The battery I want to get for my ft old speedster is a turnigy 1000mAH 3s 20c lipo pack. Could someone please tell me stuff like flight time, what...

Hi! I am new to this hobby and have never had a multirotor before, and I am looking for one within a budget of about up to £150 or so (I don't know what that would be in dollars, just something not too expensive). I am lokking for something that can be flown indoors and out, so not too big or...

Ok guys, I am going to start down, what is likely to be, a long, arduous journey. I wanted to start this post to share the journey with anyone else that may be embarking upon the FPV wagon. I am so thrilled to start this effort slow and steady. I intend to start out simple and slowly gain...

Hi all, I'm very new to the RC community and I need some advice. This question has probably been asked before but I couldn't find it with a search so here we go. I am interested in joining the RC hobby, but I'm unsure whether to start with fixed wing aircraft or multirotors. My budget is...

I was wondering if anyone has made a tricopter using a naza-H as the controller. I just upgraded one of my quads to a nazaM lite and I like the features. having the same for my tricopter would be cool. If anyone knows if this has been done or if its impossible pls reply

The default antenna for the...

Hello fellow FliteTesters. In the spoiler is a quick introduction about me: So I have the plans on building myself a batbone v-tail (the upside down v-tail like in the batbone video at the factory). I have not yet ordered anyparts yet because i would like to abuse your knowledge about...

Hi guys, In episode 9 of the podcast I heard that the DT750 and the NTM motors appear to be the motors of choice of the Swede, so who am I to disagree? I'm rather new to the hobby, and ordered a BatBone tricopter kit (looks rad with firetruck red booms!), along with most of the electronics...

I'm just getting started in R/C but here are the FliteTest swappables I've build so far. The Nutball (front), the Delta (right) and the Flyer (back). I've also built the RC-Help Trainer V3.1 (Not pictured). I used Elmer's Foamboard for the builds because that's what I had at the time. I got...

I want to start flying quads and was wandering if the Knuckle H-Quad kit or the Anycopter Quad kit would be the best? ;)

Hi i'm just starting out, and was trying to decide on whether to get the RTF delta ray or the ARF teksumo wich i could upgrade/modify when i'm ready. (no way am i thinking of puting an EDF on it) :p

Hi guys, I have been watching a lot of fpv videos and would really like to get a system for my plane. I don't know much about this stuff but it seems really cool. What would be the best system? I already have a couple gopros laying around, can i use that as a camera? Any tips on what to buy...
