One of the best pieces of advice I got for dirt bikes applies to RC planes too: When in doubt, throttle out!

You give the best advice, thanks so much. I learned to fly by watching your videos, using a flight simulator and a high wing trainer. I don't want to jinx myself but I have over 300 flights without a crash yet.

Mike thanks for your videos. I learned some of the thricks the hard way $ and your instructions are great advise. You have helped me a long way. Its hard to stay calm with this type of flying and your instructions are a guiding factor that have helped me around some bends for sure. I owe you one or two if i ever meet you. Keep em up. Thanks again.

In addition to those most of my planes have SAFE available at the touch of a switch, I only use it when the plane gets out of shape after a manoeuvre that went wrong and it's a plane saver. When it's a bit gusty, I'll try a landing and if it's too rough I go around and engage safe once it's in line with the runway. Been flying 2 years, so not that experienced and SAFE isnt for everyone but most at our club have it available in case of need.

The more I see them fly the more interested I get into pattern ships...they fly gracefully but can really move...and the contra system that eliminates rotational torque and yaw .....graceful planes...thanks for the useful info

Beware of the "Dark Side " of pattern flying young Jedi. Just kidding pattern,IMAC and all aerobatics practice is not only essential to becoming a better pilot, but aerobatics provide you a challenge and motivation to keep in the hobby. Without the challenge of improving what reasons are there for remaining. Social? Ok, novelty of a new plane?OK, Building? If it leads to flying sure, but these don't last. Contest flying ,logistics there's a lot of waiting to fly and traveling to the contest, some like those aspects.

Excellent! I have a 1/5th scale J3 Cub.This thing is "supposed" to be able to fly with a 40 size 2 stroke glow. Well mine has an ancient first generation OS 61 four stroke.This engine (pre surpass) is so gutless it's pathetic :( I have to fly this model like a full size J3 ... take off and climb out really shallow. Rudder turn until we get some airspeed, no sudden moves and full power when turning downwind. This thing will teach you how to fly!!! Fortunately it doesn't do any terrible if you stall it.

Permanent connections don't tape, moisture will release the adhesive, use foam-tac or silicone on Permanent connections and where the leads insert into the receiver, a small bead. Non-permanent connections use connectors, or if multiple connection flaps, ailerons, gear lights, consider an Ashlock, Electro Dynamics, no more aileron misconnections.

I really enjoy your "basics" advise. For me, the problem is going too slow. I've had issues on takeoffs and landings due to not enough air speed and the plane stops flying. I've actually put a label on my transmitter that says "Fly the plane, Dummy!" 😉
