cycled radio workbench charging batteries run ning down again couple times building plane making radio installa tion comes field Stan brings field box equipped fuel tools spare glow plugs spare props etc very important got field first training session found three test flights required make final control throw adjust ments set trims take care other little items made airplane ready use trainer sign jfica nt point airplane hasnt modified since three test flights has simplified Stans training because dont have waste time retesting plane before session fact dont have make needle valve adjustments very high percentage Stans RC systems battery charge spent training time air have faced far too beginners have come field unprepared result went home again list changes modifications made Consequently half next session wasted test flights before could get training done kept happen ing until inevitable crash put everything back square Such students get very low percentage battery charge training time now think Goldberg Eagle pretty good first airplane big enough seen carries large enough wheels push through grass lumps unprepared field big flat-bottomed wing makes short takeoffs gentle landings very easy 45 engine provides far power needed except making takeoffs unprepared fields power can get what want Half-throttle plenty inside loops rudder rolls other basic flying built recommended dihedral airplane responds best rudder elevator Aileron rolls extremely slow first didnt like handling characteristic Now think pretty good idea because beginners usually over-control roll result get airplane unusual attitudesthen panic sets Having very lethargic response ailerons gives beginner time see what happening plane very sensitive pitch makes knife-edge flight difficult lightly loaded wing simply refuses quit flying makes stall demonstrations difficult spins nearly impossible Altogether comfortable plane beginner flight-training plan personal preference exposing student full
