New to RC and FPV… Hope to get both going before summer is over!

I have a pretty low paying job and finally got some starter planes to learn the basics.  I’ve been using flight sims for almost 20 years and got to ride in a real piper and try out the controls, but never an RC plane. I do have some RC experience with the Blade CX2’s and the Blade CP Pro, but I think planes are my calling with FPV.

 

I purchased a Spektrum Dx6i and the Parkzone UMX MIG 15 DF and crashed it about 10 times so far.  It still flies tho 🙂  My last purchase was the Parkzone P51-D Mustang which is MUCH easier to fly.

 

I just ordered the FT 3D Speed Build Swappable kit and hope to get that together soon after it gets here 🙂  I will try out some FPV stuff in the FT 3D when I figure out what to purchase.  I have seen the hobby king $59 starter set, but I have a Hero 2 and I’m leaning towards the OpenLRS stuff so I can add GPS and some other fun things.  I still haven’t figured all that out though.

 

I just found flitetest.com a few weeks ago and now this site!  You guys are all awesome! Keep up the great work and info!

 

Thanks!

    in my opnion its the most fun you can buy for 70$ and you can put fpv on it, go watch some xjet vids on youtube there are lots of good axn videos
    happy flying,

    I agree with crazymonkey, start fpv with something a little more docile until you get a feel for it. It’s way different than flying LOS and if you try it on something like a 3d plane, you will most likely crash
