2. Flying model airplanes overview

Here’s how airplanes fly: When the wing moves forward the air lifts it. Too slow, no lift and it falls out of the air -- it stalls. So, it needs flying SPEED either from a motor and propeller, or by descending and gliding. The wing is lifting all the time it's moving forward -- whether it’s upside down, in a turn, inverted, or doing acrobatics -- there is always lift from the wing even though the lift might not be straight UP as it is in level flight. The airplane makes right or left turns by tilting in the direction of the turn so that some of the wing’s lift is angled partly to the left or right. To turn an airplane you tilt the wings with the ailerons or with the rudder in the direction you want to turn. To make the airplane go UP you give an UP command to the elevator. The elevator surface angles UP and the air that’s hitting it blows the tail DOWN and the nose UP. When the airplane goes UP it slows down. If it goes too slow the lift stops and the airplane falls -- stalls.

3. Pick out an airplane that can fly all by itself without you controlling it

Don’t pick a low-wing, aerobatic airplane. The best choices are slow Flyers, Park flyers, or gliders that use electric motors for power. Gliders can glide straight ahead all by themselves (if they do not have a warped wing -- see below) without you doing any controlling from the radio transmitter. If you want to fly without an instructor these glider type airplanes will fly them selves while you are trying to figure out how to make them go some other direction. You need this stability while you learn how to fly. The second best choice is a non-glider (powered airplane) that has the wing on the top of the fuselage and which is advertised to be a good training airplane.

4. Make SURE that these following things are correct BEFORE each flight

A. The balance point MUST be where the airplane’s designer intended. Don’t be afraid to add lead weights to either the nose or the tail to MAKE the airplane balance where it is supposed to. If you think that the required weight to achieve the correct balance point (sometimes called "CG" -- Center of Gravity) is too much, you’re wrong -- USE WHATEVER WEIGHTS ARE NECESSARY TO MAKE THE AIRPLANE BALANCE WHERE IT’S SUPPOSED TO!

B. The wing must not be warped, and it helps your flying if the wing should have something called "washout". Fasten the wing onto the airplane. Set the airplane on a table and walk off to the rear of it. Look back at the airplane from an eye position where you can see just a bit of the BOTTOM of the entire wing. If you see MORE bottom wing surface on, let’s say, the left wing, then your airplane will tend to turn left even when you have the aileron or rudder control in neutral. Remove that warp before you try to fly the airplane.
