  • An Angry Zeppelin maiden of the Flightline B-24D

    Join us in the maiden of the B-24D and how scary it can be to maiden this expensive of a plane! Does anyone else get nervous on their first flight of a plane?

    Wow. Good job. I get nervous flying maiden flights. Flightline technical support should watch this video. They should be all over helping you, making your plane right. Thanks for sharing!

          Looks like you missed your landmark and turned to final way too soon, you'll get it yet, just find the mark that you can turn over, looks like the opposite side of the pole, straight down the runway.

          Good luck on future flights !!

            And for all time I get to look the fool for that landing. But the plane she was so big in the air that I misjudged the distance from the runway. I'm still practicing landing without standing in the center of my runway while trying to line up. But you know that bird would have certainly won if we were to collide so I will land at a more uncomfortable angle. Oh but she's a pretty one and customer service got me all hooked up on the wing. Decals, well I can't help but wonder if this particular model might have been sitting on a shelf for too long. Let us know if you pick one up and find that the graphics work for you.

              I have this airplane. Love to fly it. Been RC flying for over 55 years. Still one of my favorite things to do is shoot landing approaches. Probably thousands of them. By now, majority of mine look really good to the guys at the field. Maybe not so much to me. Wind speed, wind direction, sun location, nerves, shadows, all play a part in each landing. You got it on the ground with no damage and no one or no thing was hurt. Keep at it. This is such a special airplane for me that I still get nervous flying it. But, the reward of watching it hit the main gear first and the nose settle in on landing is worth it every time. John

                I am a huge fan of the FLRC planes but I agree that their decals are awful. They should stop making them and including them with the planes. Drop the price per plane by $5-$10 and let the modeler buy them from Callie, that’s what most of us do anyway.
