My First Flight Of An RC Ever! Video Inside...
 

Thanks to much of the assistance/advice I got on this forum, I chose a plane (The e-flight Apprentice), trained myself on Realflight 6, and finally got a chance to take the plane out today. I have never had any training in person from anyone who has flown, and was pretty much reliant upon what I have learned on Realflight, and from advice on this forum.

The grass I took off in was not ideal, and the prop did a little lawn mowing on take off, but the landing was as perfect as I could have ever hoped, and the grass didn't seem to be an issue on landing. This video is from flight #1! I took off and landed 3X successfully, and could not be happier with the overall experience! I would recommend this plane to anyone! Thanks again guys!

congratulations. on you first flight looks like you did everything right good hight stayed in a pattern and landed in one piece. flying is fun just wait to you get bitten by that speed bug. but you'll always love your e-flite apprentice. and it will be your go to plane, so keep it flight ready at all times.:nod:

Thanks! The flying of the plane was really easy after spending so much time on Realflight, it was more just the fact that I had no experience, and was making myself nervous based on that alone, I was actually mildly shaking, lol!

After getting this first landing in, and completing the first flight, 90% of that nervousness was gone. With enough of a lead in to the landing, you can basically cut power, and let the thing borderline land itself, I just added a hint of up elevator just before touchdown to get the rear wheels to touch just before the front, It looks way faster in that video than I remember it being in me head. I can't wait to go out again tomorrow!

Nice plane

Thanks! They sell it as a "Plug n play", and RTF. The "Plug n play" needs a TX/RX and battery. You could get the "Orange RX" and Hobby King battery together for about $20. I have two of the 3000mah 3s Turnigy lipo's and they work great!

I have a DX8 on mine now, but I like that it came with the DX5E, so I can use it as a trainer box.
