Howdy - Just put together a 4ch FT Simple Cub and spent a rainy evening adjusting gimbals and programming my new QX7 tx. I've watched all the FT videos I can find, so here I am on the forums!
I've always wanted to get into RC flight since I was a kid, but was only ever able to peruse the magazines and read whatever era aircraft encyclopedias my library had available. Fast forward to now and not only have electric components improved incredibly and prices have come down to accessible levels, but Flite Test is around now too!
I've got loads of foam and enough parts to comprise another B pack, so if the rain persists I might be building another model before even taking the first one out for a maiden flight. Perhaps another Simple Cub with some STOL mods like flaps and leading-edge slats?
It's awesome to have this community. I've lurked around a bit just to do research and catch up on what's what, hopefully I can put some handy info or fun experiences back into it!
BTW,
I work as an automotive painter, so if I get some paint on a nicer model I'll post some pics!
