lol, they look fun.. check it out on utube cessna 206 it looks CRAZZZy

For the practice landing and takeoffs should i do it on grass or pavment?
I got a big field behind my house...

 

[Candyman]

How short is the grass in the field? If it's any longer than a golf course fairway, it will be difficult to roll out on. You'll run the risk of cartwheeling the plane or tearing the gear off. I know it sounds much more menacing to land on pavement, but it is more gentle on the plane. Unless you crash, of course.

Okay dude i think i might want one where can you get one for that price

[Mido]

Same here, lets hope it comes as the description says. Ill keep u guys posted its suppost to come tomorrow ill tkae some pics once its built..

That plane is not made to take off on grass, that's why I suggested you find a parking lot and roll out till it lifts off, and immediately lower the throttle and land. That's what will take the most practice. When that comes automatically, you can start going higher and staying up longer.
Hand launching and belly landings on grass are harder than pavement takeoffs and landings.

Ok I've always been confused about this
4 Channel Multifunctional FM Radio Transmitter
6 Channel Receiver
Whats that mean? If someone is using the same channel ican switch? BUT DONT i have to change crtystal or somwething?

 

[Candyman]

What that means is that the transmitter is a 4-channel setup. It controls (1) throttle, (2) elevator, (3) ailerons, and (4) rudder. However, the receiver is a 6-channel rx, so if you wanted to add more features like retractable gear, you could just upgrade to a 6-channel transmitter and that receiver would work.

Oh, ok, i got it thanks again

 

[Mido]

Ok now i got a problem.. I got the plane all was good built it adjusted the servos and all. I went out for the first flight not even barely moviing and the propeler hit the curb. The screw that comes out of the burshless motor snapped.. I have NO CLUE how it would snap but it did. So now i can't put the propeller on. What should i do? Is there a way i can put those 2 peices back together maybe solder i ton?
Let me know guys ur my only hope. LHS said they probely dont have parts for it...
Ughhhhh its brand new LESS THAN 30 MINS!

 

[Mido]

Ok i figured out what its called its called the PROP adapter..
The thread that come sout snapped

 

[Candyman]

there are a couple different types of prop adapters. One is a threaded shaft that comes out that you bolt the prop to. Looks like:

The other is an adapter that you mount on the shaft and then us an o-ring to mount the prop. Looks like:

They are widely available at online shops including Tower Hobbies. If you broke the threaded shaft of the one you have, there's really no way to fix it. You'll have to buy a new adapter. I'd recommend the one with the o-ring because if you bury the prop, you're more likely to pop the o-ring than to break the prop, adapter, or shaft. Just make sure you have spare o-rings.

I went down to the LHS and he was gonna put a new one on for me he coult even take the old one off. He didnt want to break it. There are these 2 black plasic threded cups that he took out and said usually when he taks them out the prop adapter slides off. This didnt... So he didnt do it as he didnt want to break i t,,,,
FRIG THIS IS SOOOOOOOO FRUSTERATING!
