New beginer. Totally new to RC flying

Well at least the power gets them outta trouble...

agreed. stock motor cos more problem.

i think brushless is ok for new guys la. i also started with a brushless from gws. its not too much a concern of the type of power source. as long as it can power the plane's weight sufficiently, its alright. it voices down to the type of plane. high wings being more stable and low wing planes being less stable. an e starter is a good choice to start with.

Congrats, u got urself a wonderful plane. e-starter is one of the best beginner plane around. with a brushless setup & 3S lipo, ur plane can 'fight' the wind easily and get u out of trouble.

yea. hehe. just make sure u fly away from people. I nearly beheaded loyn b4!

The setup you've discribed is quite a powerful setup...
Be sure you have an experienced flyer do a ground check with you, and guide you in the initial stages... Saves A LOT of $$ and heartaches...

... I learned RC flying the hard way..



Cheers,

yes..thanks for all the advise..actually the shifu is very experienced, probably got 20plus years of experience. I was at his place building today and really nice to have a master to teach things..and also very patience..

Hey, really get the gws beaver... super cool and easy to fly . I crashed many planes, the beaver is the only plane that flew 1st time out. Easy!

erm tim, a few experience to share with you as you're new to this hobby and i don't want you to learn things the hard way as i did

1.) RESPECT that brushless motor you have there when it has a prop on it. It can cut your fingers like no body business... unlike stock motor (brushed) the brushless can chop your fingers like butter...

2.) Learn to do pre-flight checks. meaning have a check list with you. pre-flight means to make sure your freq doesn't crash with your buddies flying with you, making sure you have the correct model set on your transmitter, and that your plane is "fit for flight"

3.) Always disconnect your battery if you don't intend to fly the plane. leaving it on the ground is not safe place... you never know when interference will come in.

4.) Keep your thumb on the throttle stick making sure its at 0 when you have the batteries connected... or you might end up having a runaway plane when you accidently push against it.

eh... this is as much as i can remember now... hope this can help you and have fun!!! and remember planes are meant to fly... so don't be afraid to fly higher at the start... low level flying are meant for "old bird" the lower you fly the faster you crash... cause no recover time...

Do Not Commit These Sins.

The following is a list of cardinal sins in RC that you should avoid. They are so called because they are deadly to your model. So beginners like you should beware and experts too.
RC Sin
#1. Did not check frequency with other users.
#2. Forgot to check the Control surfaces are moving in the correct direction.
#3. Forgot to check the model on the transmitter is the same as the one you are about to fly.
#4. Forgot to extend antena of the transmitter.
#5. Forgot to extend antena of the airplane.
#6. Forgot to activate thumb to pull elevator when airplane is going down.
#7. Forgot to unfreeze thumb when plane veers to one side.

Well, these are just 7 of the deadly cardinal sins of Rc. They are so, as DOOM and MAYHEM will result if you commit them.
I am sure there are more. All these years, I have yet to find any flyer who has not committed all 7. I committed all 7 and more and all 7 on one particular model but the model just kept coming back in several pieces glued to fly another day.
