This is especially true of training aircraft and where the military trainer paint scheme comes from. In the Golden days of flight before radios were a common thing, a lot of airplanes had the nose, wings, and tail painted a different color so that ground spotters could see how the airplane was oriented. Something that might help is to paint the nose of the airplane red, orange, or another bright color different from the fuselage color to make it stand out.

That can be a little disorienting, It's the problem I often have with simulators, but being an east coaster/mid-westerner I'm usually by some tall trees when I fly in real life. I get it though, If you are flying on a farm then you are looking at an airplane against a wide open sky with nothing else in your field of vision to provide a frame of reference. should be cheaper to fix these planes or replace if I crash.)Ĭlick to expand.If the plane is flying directly at you, it's probably too low. I appreciate any help! Thank you (ps, looking to get some of those FT scratch build kits and use my unused 2204/2205/2306 motors for them. This is much much harder for me with fixed wing as you don't get that luxury, hah! I have a hard time telling if it's inverted or not and which way it's pointed (away or towards) but that might also be due to my fear and lack of confidence. Or if I noticed it went down when I gave it throttle, I knew I was inverted and could correct quickly. The hardest thing for me is overcoming my fear of losing orientation of the plane and crashing it, or worse, flying much further away and losing it over an area I don't want it to go.ĭoes anyone have any tips for this? With a quad I would just blip the throttle up and down while giving it a roll direction like say right, and then if I saw it go left I would give yaw to correct until the rear was facing me.

I found and joined a flight club near me and have had instructions on how to fly fixed wing. I've since kind of gotten bored of quads and am very much more interested in fixed wings. I learned very quickly how to fly them by crashing quite frequently in my field, but luckily those frames take a heck of a beating! I am very comfortable and proficient with it now, but mainly FPV or keeping the rear of the quad facing me (even doing crazy acrobatics that way.) I started with 5" quads that I built, running 4C. New fixed wing pilot here! I just started flying RC around the very beginning of 2017.
