Old and Bold RC PILOT
There is a single tip that may help you understand the whole idea of RC flight. It is that the planes are designed to fly by themselves. Your only real role is to direct it through the sky. So let it fly and just gently apply the controls to get it to fly where you want ti to go. You do not drive a car using the steering wheel swinging wildly from side to side because if you do the car will soon lose control. The same thing goes for RC aircraft!
As for the wind, if you would not open an umbrella for fear of losing it then I would not fly your models. OR if you could fly a kite it would be better if you did!
I do not remember a video but there were photod of a school gym where students were launching the TT gliders, (without radio control and they were flying from one end of the building to the other. Do a search of the original release articles.
As for the above replacement fuselage and the like there have been a large number of alternate builds and arrangements but consider that beginners crash. As beginners crash then the original design just requires the build of a replacement nose or 2 whereas other replacement designs tend to claim simplicity BUT a crash requires a complete replacement fuselage. Also most replacements also claim to be more robust which can mean being heavier and therefore a bigger hold and more damage done in a crash.
There are a large number of TT improvements(?) posted on a variety of threads and I have tried most of them but with experience I return to the original design for my students as the repairs are far simpler and with a few spare parts, (nose, powerpod Etc), I am able ot effect field repairs and get a trainee back into the air within 5 minutes of most crashes but with the other designs they tend to put an end to the flying when they crash.
Just a final thought! better to struggle to learn to fly one design than to not be able to fly 2 different designs which is more than doubly frustrating. (Well it was for me!).
Just my opinions though!
Have fun!
