Here are tips for those of you pilot a beginner or you who
are want to start the hobby RC aeromodelling please read the tips and hopefully
can help you.
Aircraft type
Start with an inexpensive foam plane with a wingspan of
about 60cm-100cm with a motor model of the pusher above the fuselage and wings
are position the top (glider). Wing aircraft fuselage above position will be
more easily controlled than the air under the wing or the middle (because it
does not choose the best acrobatic wing above). Air that is too small is not
good to be the best to learn as easily shifted by the wind but the planes are
too big is not good because of the momentum generated when it crashed could
result in considerable damage and the plane with the motor in front is
vulnerable to damage the motor or shaft, remember you learn ... the best you
can be sure will fall.
Channel
Start with 3-channel, aileron usage can sometimes be
confusing for beginners due to its role as well as the combination with
elevators. You can start with the aircraft as windragon which provides
functions 3 and 4 channels. (3 air channel spin direction by relying rudder).
But if you are good enough to use 4 channels in the simulator, you can skip
this step.
Transmitter
Avoid using digital transmitter that is too complicated as
Turnig 9X or Fly sky 9x, this is not for beginners. Transmitter for beginners
is a transmitter that can be used directly without a lot of settings. Remember
that you learn how to fly aided transmitter rather than vice versa, over time
you will increasingly understand the need for a transmitter in accordance with
the character of your fly.
There are four modes transmitter but only two are popular
namely Mode 1 and Mode 2, mode 2 is usually the user with normal hand (dominant
right) and throttle located on the left, while mode 1 is usually the
left-handed (left dominant) and the throttle located on the right. To better
understand refer to the illustration.
There are two ways to use the transmitter sticks:
The first two fingers (thumb and forefinger) position sticks
two fingers clamped it.
Both with just the thumb stick position under the palm of
your thumb.
I myself personally more comfortable with the first due to a
faster drive and finger stick transmitter also not shifted from the sticks,
while the thumb apart easily shift is also somewhat difficult to point
backwards, but this is the choice of your habits so please try both.
Altitude (Very Important)
Pilot beginners usually afraid to fly high, and they will
fly low, this is a mistake that is very fatal, yes I say so because ideally to
learn it to be a high-flying, ideally try to fly higher with a minimum height
of about 100mtr, later this will facilitate you learn orientation toward the
plane, and when you lose control over the direction of a plane or make a
mistake then you still have time to correct, if you compare to fly low.
As much as possible surrounding the air directing you or
spinning away in front of you, avoid flying across your most novice pilot will
maneuver the wrong direction when interfaced with the aircraft.
Speed
Aircraft fast indeed very pleasant but it also required
quick reflexes, need to learn before you master this reflex, try to fly at low
speed, not too low because the aircraft would be vulnerable stall (losing
altitude), later on, the longer you will be proficient in reflex aircraft
movements. ups ... so want to try his cobra movement Shukoi. :)
Electronic
Before you fly the plane RC recognize and learn the
functions on the plane including the electronic pilot beginners usually cannot
wait to fly, but first try to do a last check before flying like functions
aileron, rudder, elevators, motors and also the battery's capacity aircraft and
transmitter.
Time
Flying time depends on your habits, but an enjoyable time is
early morning and late afternoon, when the sun is not too glaring but still do
not forget to wear sunglasses and a hat, and stay focused on your aircraft
during flight.
Field
And no less important than all this is the location you fly,
avoid flying close to tall buildings, tower / power cables, this is very
dangerous. Try to get a region that has a low view is quite far (author screwy
... the hell of the desert). Avoid fly a plane facing directly into the sun,
note the wind speed and weather conditions around the pitch, and when the wind
was strong not determined to keep flying. And also a good idea to be
accompanied by someone who already
