Just bought my SC at my local hobby shop..rtf with the trasmitter 3channel ot comes with..I've put it up 5 times now and I'm getting netter at bringings it in for a smooth landing..I decided to take off the landing gear and just slide in on the grass..no big crashes yey..so far it's a great newboe plane..I'm thinking and the clear tape on the under side to protect scratches on landings !!

Welcome to the club skom.
I think the tape would be a good addition. I remember a guy who cut open a large cola bottle and used that like a skid pan. He was belly landing on pretty rough ground but it did the job.

Hey Skom, welcome! I land a lot in grass. The grass at my favorite flying field is about 6-8 inches tall. I crash land in it all of the time...nice and plushy. The road by the field is angled for rain water run off and makes for a difficult landing so i just crash in the field.  |

I don't think we have had calm winds in weeks! Hey, today at sundown was perfect. The wind finally settled down enough to enjoy a controlled flight.
Winston Salem. Yep, I used to pass through on US40 a couple times per month.
--Happy Flying--->
