How do I know what skill level plane to fly?

Skill level could be a blur concept for some RC beginners. A RC plane may not be defined easily for which perticular skill level. So how can we choose the proper RC plane to fly? This article may give you some ideas.

Skill Levels

Rookie Level

  • Limitedย flightย experience.
  • Relianceย onย stable,ย easy-to-flyย planes.
  • Focusย onย basicย maneuversย andย understandingย controls.

Recommend to start with simple airplanes with stabilizer system, between 2 to 3 channels. Before spending plenty of time to practise and learn knowledge, don't rush to enter the next level and try some airplanes that are difficult to handle.ย Otherwise, you could cause severe damage to the airplane, or even worse, serious harmness to other properties and people.

Beginnerย Level

  • Understandingย theย basicย controls:ย throttle,ย elevator,ย aileron,ย andย rudder.
  • Graspingย theย conceptย ofย coordinatedย turns.
  • Takeoffย andย landingย proficiency.

After spending enough flight time with 3-channel aircrafts,ย it is suggested that fly a 4-channel trainer with stabilizer system,ย and try not keep stabilizer on duringย the whole flight.

Experiencedย Level

    • Advancedย maneuvering,ย includingย rollsย andย loops.
    • Preciseย controlย ofย throttleย andย pitchย forย aerobatics.
    • Increasedย comfortย withย invertedย flight.

    A 4-channel medium size airplane between 60 to 120 cm is a good choice to practise mostly. The stabilizer system is still a reliable mate to fly withย if not enough faith inย pure manual flight.

    Advancedย Level

    • Masteringย 3Dย aerobatics.
    • Expertiseย inย knife-edgeย flightย andย hovering.
    • Fine-tunedย controlย inย variousย weatherย conditions.

    Well, this article may not be helpful for your level. You can skip and dig other deeper knowledges.

    Progressionย Tips

    Consistentย Practice

    • Regularย flyingย sessionsย toย buildย muscleย memory.
    • Gradualย progressionย fromย simplerย toย moreย complexย maneuvers.

    Mentorship

    • Seekย guidanceย fromย experiencedย pilots.
    • Participateย inย localย RCย clubsย forย sharedย learningย experiences.

    Continuedย Learning

    • Stayย updatedย onย advancementsย inย RCย technology.
    • Attendย workshopsย andย eventsย toย enhanceย skills.
