I've never flown RC aircraft and I understand it's quite different from flying a full scale aircraft. I wonder if one would have to master conventional RC flying BEFORE flying with the camera exclusively.  NB |
NoBozo, Start here
http://www.realflight.com/new/index.html I have this simulator and it is pretty close to true flight, minus the depth perception. Give it a try and then go out and get airborne.
My hanger
90" wingspan piper cub on floats (on the board now, done in about three weeks, I'll post a pic or two)
21% scale Cap 232 (roll rate of 360/sec, sold the first and I am halfway through the second, late winter finish)
1/5 scale 108" DHC-2 beaver on floats (planset, build from scratch propably next winter)
1/4 scale DHC-2 Beaver on floats (planset, build from scratch after the first one, 144" wingspan on this bird, this one will be an attempt at a Top Gun Scale) Anyone with a DHC-2 Beaver that would like to see your plane in full scale, please contact me.
This hobby is more fun than you can imagine, I got out of it about 6years ago when my daughter was born, and I have just recently got back into it. If you decide to start up and you plan to fly in, join a club, more knowledge than you can shake a stick at. Also join the AMA (american modelers association) membership includes a $100,000 insurance policy that covers you for damage to someone elses property.
