4 Tips to Earn Your RC Wings
Model Airplane News
|August 2020
As people have more time during quarantine, it is prime time for newbies to get into RC.
This is especially true for kids. When flying remote control aircraft as a beginner, it is helpful to have an experienced pilot by your side. However, that may not be possible right now. I was faced with this same problem when I started. I live in a rural area without another RC pilot or club. I used these steps to learn to fly.
1 Your first step is to buy a solid beginner plane. Do not buy the big fancy warbird with the retractable landing gear and flaps. That is a mistake that I made. It is not a fun experience. Instead, go for a high-wing plane that can still fly after a couple of crashes. The HobbyZone Carbon Cub S+ or the E-flite Apprentice S are two easy fliers.

PRODUCT REVIEW: RC PLANE STANDS BENCHTOP MODEL
I’m a sucker for shop stuff. I buy tools I will probably never use just because they are cool, or I might need to use them someday. When Glen from RC Plane Stands reached out about a review, however, I knew as soon as I browsed their website that I would be receiving something I would use a lot, maybe even daily.
