For the pilots who have to put up with the white stuff, the cold temps, the wind, putting the wing on, etc., here is a plane that you can sit in the warm car, put battery in, put throttle hold on, step outside and fly immediately. I used the plans from RCGroups and they, like mine, were from blue FFF.
Someone needs to adapt FFF to Adam's board, add something to prevent absorption of water(collared packing tape, wax, etc) to keep the weight about the same.
I still have mine of FFF. By the way, you can use Durango to takeoff and land in the grass of a good one to learn on water.
Why?
85 or 90 % of crashes are on landing. Why, can't align with runway or with wind, control proper speed to flare, have excellent throttle management to prevent bouncing, etc. Did you know pilots favor one landing direction and really screw up(crash) if approaching from other direction just like most pilots fly in a counter-clockwise direction. Check videos if you don't believe me.
You now can practice in a small area all thru winter learning how to land. I taught myself and my 6 year old by placing a red paper square in front of you about 10 feet and then practice flying a landing pattern and landing (both directions) and see whose closet to the red square. Heck, people like Houndpup and Mr Man and others should have a contest(like speed) to see who can do it first from both directions for closest.
What plane beats that?
