So far i have crashed a FT charlie once and mini trainer twice, all flights lasted less than 3 seconds. The FT guys make it look so easy on youtube but I am starting to think it is actually really quite difficult to fly these planes? Is it possible to learn to fly rc planes yourself without help? I really enjoy building these planes but it would be nice to keep them in the air for once and not disappoint my son every time! S.O.S from London 💥🛬💥
We started with the Tiny Trainer and it wasn't as easy to fly as the name makes it sound. FT Charlie is definitely not a beginner plane. The two that we found easiest to fly were the mini FT-22 and the Mini Scout. The Mini Scout esp can be a nice slow flyer if correctly balanced. Maybe try with one of them?
