hoping to learn

[impostor71]

Hi all,

I'm Tom. I live in Chicago. I recently (as in last nite) got a SC LP. I've been flying off an on for the past 3 weeks with my UMT-28. I fly an mSR micro heli and I have Phoenix sim time.

Some people recommended the UMT-28. They said that I shouldn't fly unless it's dead calm. Where I live in Chicago, calm is a condition rarely seen. So, either I fly in some wind or I don't fly at all. I went flying.

As expected, the UMT-28 is so light that I'm constantly fighting the wind. Sometimes, I win and land safely, most of the time I lose and crash. It is frustrating for a new flyer like myself to learn on the UMT-28 in the wind. I was about to give up rc flying.

People recommended that I go to the HZ SC. So here I am. I have a DX6i Tx as well. I'm here to learn to fly and learn about the SC. I hope to improve my flying skills with the SC.

Time to go do some research on batteries for the SC...

Tom

I spent yesterday watching some old fellows (60+) flying their nitro planes up on marsden moor, near saddleworth moor, in 10-15 mph winds. HOLY S**T! One was a Wot 4 look a like, and the other was a P-51, and boy, did they show me! I had been flying the twin jet, and they asked me what channel i was on. "2.4" says I.
" Oh, I'm still using my old futaba set." And off they went with a burble of nitro.......
Immelmans, flat spins, split s, cobra....... tail between my legs dosen't describe it! They were GOOD!
NO loss of control, hesitation, mistakes.........just a supreme confidence in his kit. and plane.
so....if you are old, and fly, and are really good, and.....you live in the village of Marsden......you are a GOD! And..... Thank you for the lesson in humility.
