Attention All Plane Pilots - How to land an RC plane

Post by Derek »

I wasn't real sure where to put this post, so if it needs moved to a better place in the forum....mod's, please move it. Thanks!

I came across a video on "How to land an rc plane". Now, we all know that there are many ways to do it. For example, "nice and smooth"..."sloppy but safe"..."the wind got it"..."time for a new plane"....etc, etc. Those were just a few fun variations from my own previous experiences, lol. However, I came across a video that has a guy talking about "proper alignment", how to use the rudder, and more. I actually found it very enlightening and I just thought I'd share this with you guys.

"No Thanks, I don't need another plane!" Said no one ever!
