1. Beginner Mistakes
2. Interview w/ Bill Blair from Whirly Bird Video
3. What’s new in RC tech
4. Whats new at FliteTest
5. Lighting round Q&A
This episode of FliteTest we talk about some silly mistakes that we have made while getting started in flying RC and the building or repairing process. Hopefully we can share a few things NOT to do while flying RC and tell some good stories in the process.
Keeping away from people, being safe with props, being patient with the weather, why you shouldn’t fly with a “broken thumb”, and how to split a plane in half are amoung some of the tall tales told.
Although mistakes are part of the hobby for experts and beginners alike, you can still learn from other people’s experiences and stories. So here are some of ours! Feel free to leave a quick story of your own in the comments below.

The first thing I do once i complete a new, clean, pristine build is to scuff, dent and put a scratch on it! Why you ask? Well, then I won't be so nervous or worried about keeping it perfect anymore and the first flight is soooo much more fun and successful without the worry!

On the other hand it'd be great if you have time to retry your ultra-high altitude RC flight again..
