Third flight on the cub

[fireguzzi]

Third battery....Not the clearest vid but tell me what ya think. I about lose it around 1:40 but I about lose it with style... Barley keep it out of the trees.

thats pretty good fire, there alot of fun. just picked up the p51

[19000rpm]

You did a great job fire...When in doubt, up elevator usually gives you time to figure out what to do next.

Looks like you caught on pretty darn fast! Excellent job with the plank!

Now, the next step is to try a little inverted flying in a straight line. Remember, right stick up is your friend while inverted.

It only gets better from here. If you can fly that little Piper, you can fly something bigger with no problem. Work on your landings too, you will need to nail those with the larger planes.

Good job again buddy!

For a "noob" you seem to fly with very little apprehension -- No fear, just fly!. Love it.

Ya know, with the heli's (especially the g2) I was very apprehensive. I would sweat bullets just trying to hover. With the plane I knew, because it covers so much ground, that if I didn't just FLY IT! i would end up with a $90 tree ornament. So I just went for it. I've also been flying combat sims since I was a kid.

Gabe, inverted? I think my pulse just sped up a little thinking about trying that. I will try soon i think.

Thanks everyone.

Ok, you're confusing me. Which one do you consider a big word? For? Noob? Anything bigger than that and I have to get my wife to write it for me ;D

Yup, your heart will sink and your adrenaline will pump when you go inverted your first time.

I had my Dynam Super Cub up about 200' today doing rolls and loops. I don't mess around man. Not sure it was designed for that, but I figured why not.

The higher up you go, the fewer crashes you will have when trying new things.

You can do it man, I have faith in ya.

Try anything new at, at least, 3X's crash height.

[fireguzzi]

Speak of the devil, all this talk about going high enough so as not to crash jinxed me.
lol
Right at the end I do a little inverted or an extended loop as I like to call it, with an immediate nose dive off camera. I have done longer and better ones off camera but I still get too eager sometimes and am doing them too low.

[Gabe]

At least your tryin'!

[19000rpm]

You're doing great. That wing wasn't designed to be inverted friendly.
