below some nice tips, especially about pitch and power (#4) elevator for AOA/speed , throttle for sink rate/altitude

He does good videos for sure. The unfortunate part is that within this hobby, the vast majority of pilots stick with whatever feels the most intuitive and easy at first, and the willingness to accept teaching is moderate indeed.

They both teach landings the exact same way I do, focusing on the importance of correct control inputs, energy management, and using rudder for course correction. They do divert a little when it comes to long vs shorter approach though. I tend to side with the latter, simply because a shorter final gives better speed perception, and rudder based, flat turns makes that safe pretty much for all models.Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

I almost feel like there needs to be an EDF instructional video out there for people flying these planes. But then again all of them are different! I am looking forward to getting this bird! Just need to make time!Check me out on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/user/gooniac33

Originally posted by Quax View PostThere is a huge difference between flying small general aviation aircraft (Cessna etc) and bigger aircraft like jets for example. The later ones are flown by pitch for altitude and power (better thrust) for airspeed... Flying jets using thrust for altitude will result in some serious problems sooner or later.
However, flying rc models is a total different thing...
So i let my retract servo dry out from my battle with the puddle the other day and now all is well. Thanks for the tips guys!

The primary problem with having a poor trim and needing to hold elevator is that it reinforces the bad habit of using your elevator to land in the first place.

A brand new FW F-18 and the elevator servos are ratcheting. I tried two different receivers (Jeti System) and a servo tester - same results. Also the right flap moves on its own (ratcheting) without any control inputs. I tried a set of Hitech 82 servos hooked up to the elevator channel and they both work smoothly. Anyone else having these type of problems?
Thank you!2 Photos

TPS, you better go back and read all you can about some of us having some strange problems, some have crashed and some have survived, just found out a couple of days ago one of my flying buddies friend crashed his on the maiden flight, he said everything was fine until he went to full flaps, then it lawn darted straight in with no response to the elevators, I think he opened a ticket with MRC but hasn't heard anything back yet. I just ordered the grey one as well, will be checking it over before it's maiden that's for sure.

I'm not using the blue box for any of the controls only for the lights.

Whats the the best way to go about getting this correct cg? Just pushing the battery back after each flight? Say 5 mm back after each flight? I’ll admit I’ve always set the cg by book and flew itPlanes
