Hey all! Just joined. I built up and flew a bunch of glow-powered control line and one R/C plane ~20+ years ago, but never really got to a point where I could solo R/C.
Just watched a few YouTube’s from FliteTest, and boy, things have changed!
I’d really like to get into a simple electric trainer that I can build some skill with, and ideally jump to FPV flying asap. Something slow, simple, and sturdy would be ideal.
I’m eyeing the FT Simple Cub to start, anything y’all think might make a better trainer? And for a first FPV setup, is there an all-in-one kit I can buy to get started without doing a ton of research?
Finally, with the newer radios and electric motors, it sounds like it’s much easier to go to a local soccer field or something to fly as long as it’s empty - anything regulatory-wise I should keep in mind?
