I'm a terrible flyer, put a plug and play in the air last year from a ground taxi, tried hard to increase the rate of climb-------lost all control, shut down and crashed. Kinda put the kibosh on the rest of the year. Now I'm hearing about BROWN OUT kind of wondering if that's what happened.
I love to build, have an artist background but cant seem to get enough info on flying these things most around here say "awe, it'll come to you just keep trying". But----I'm old, don't have a lot of years (20) left in me and I just keep searching and wrecking!!! I just build and hang not fly.
I build bows (archery), started two state wide organizations, and teach students to do the same ----thought this RC planes would be a "piece of cake", and I'm finding out, unlike that of my first bow, people around here are much too unwilling to help but rather watch one stumble. Those that have a coalition of "friends" come from high yearly cost of membership and are much to closed to those that freelance too share without "kingship" that goes with those with the org. Thank god for those organizers of the FLITE TEST!!
Great build videos, but----I wish that when they introduce these plane they would dwell on the power source, "You need at the minimum this no of motor" and without all the fancy nos that are hard to reconfigure without going to another source to cross reference nos. or trying to use manufacturing names. Josh does a great job with the fine arts of cutting and dulling of blades etc, I'm sure with a little thought of the novice he would be able to cut to chase and tell us more about the electric motors.
One more thing---------I would love to be at the next large meeting in July but can't seem to find any dates for sure HELP!!!!
What about the BROWNOUT thing, do you have any answers. No hurry too much snow here in Iowa to fly in strong winds (just keeps coming!!)
I hope this group to be the answer,
Thank you
Gene
