The RC Plane Bug has bitten

[fstnd]

Its poison is so strong it got me two planes in one week
All friendly flying club members who easily helped me start out in the hobby. This week I might already pass the test to get the required hobby flying license.
I wanted something reliable that could take on my flying skills:

It's the multiplex fun cub.
Now, I pretty quickly already got to my dream RC plane. Four stroke, very easy to start and tune, and it supposedly flies not too hard. I went nitro because I love nitro cars, but I didn't want the two stroke hassle in mid air

The plane is called a tornado and it has a Thunder Tiger F54S
I immediately broke the propellor, which I consider to be a great first lesson lol

I've thought more than a time or 2 seriously like something STOL and with floats as well as big landing wheels.. like the cub..

There is a small park surrounded by trees, so I might have to go somewhere more open to learn.
Take off and landing from water on floats would be cool but that's a diffrent skill set from a river than a pond or lake..

That looks like fun..thanks for posting

I understand the rc poison bug. For me It was 2 boats in a week and a half or 2 weeks.. but the gatorhole is in the front yard..

Once you get comfortable, flying is quite enjoyable.

Those nitro 2 stroke engines have serious power and torque. Keep your hands and object clear of that prop! I have one nitro and a few lectrics. Id find a bro to help fly the nitro. The beginner electrics are easy to fly on safe select. Go to you tube and find some free lessons. Pitch power and trim. Big grassy fields are a must. Good luck.

Awesome to see you started with the funcub - such a good 1st model that you can even have a heap of fun with as an advanced pilot.
