When I started flying RC planes, I made similar mistakes. With helicopters, not so much. Mistakes in this hobby are too damned expensive.

Awww, did widdle Barbie throw a temper tantrum?
I see an RC accident board convening in the near future!
Presumably they will all telecommute
I see RC bumping into Barbie while with his new Raptor and making comments about the situation.
“Mistakes in this hobby are too damned expensive.”
45 seconds of flight time with the trainer you recommended me, and that was the end of that…
But it was worth EVERY penny!
Man, if RC hears about this…the idea of a duel appeals to me. A proper duel…between the users of the cutting edge of technology available to the Air Force. A RealFlight LAN party. The barbie is gonna get fried…
The difference being RC actuallyhas something to shoot and an eyball (TV camera) perspective…. Barbie gotta do a groundpounder WAG for the sights but will still got a fake peashooter.
Remember the RC flyers’ mantra: I buy, I build, I fly, I crash
Back in my day………
I don’t have RC planes but back in the late 60′s I got a gas powered, string-controlled plane for my Birthday (one of those that had the plane attached via fishing line to a handle, you pivot in a circle and by moving the handle up or down, control the planes altitude). I fueled and warned up the engine multiple times waiting for spring and good weather. Finally the day arrives. I lay out the line, carefully fuel and prep the plane. Start it up. My brother holds it while I take position. release. plane rolls, leaps into the air, climbs sharply, noses over and power dives straight into the ground, utterly destroying itself, All between 0 and about 120 degrees in the circle I was pivoting in. Shortest hobby I ever had.
Barbie, I am disappoint. Think of when you first started to fly at the Academy. Did you start with the F-22?
Well, Farva, I think I need to go complain. Do you have the DSNs for Barbie’s former flight instructors?
Hahaha, it’s priceless to see Barbie turn into an UAV pilot!!!
Hahaha! That’s about how my carreer in flying model planes started and ended!
When in doubt just remember gravity will always let you down.
Thid id going to end very poorly
Good thing most RTF “modern” jets are just propeller driven. Seriously though I agree with the earlier postings- Barbie is going to become a UAV pilot…. LMAO!!! and he is going to crash this thing it is just a matter of when. I doubt there are any RC planes that have flown more than 50 hours without some sort of damage from a crash or squirly landing.
Didn’t Barbie have an RC plane back in March of 09?
And didn’t he drop flour bombs with it so this sould be old hat to him.
ooohhh Me thinks a safety board will bee convening. LOL
Come on gramps….. He’s a fighter pilot. You have more sense in your little toe than Barbie has in his whole body…
