RC PILOT HERE!!!

I'm 15 at present.
When i was small i always admired rc stuff.Going to an airshow(my cousin has contacts) lit that fire for aircraft in me.
Rc helis were pretty costly(minimum 4000Rs) and mom was not ready to give such a costly toy to ME.Dad was always busy with his work and due to poor health could not find time for all this.I didnt have a lot of knowledge about even using the internet so did not find good info on rc planes.
Last year ,this recommendation pops up on youtube about flite test.That got me started.
I started ordering parts one by one without telling my mom exactly what they were for.I had recently won a science exhibition at school so she must have thought i was just messing around.In the end i built a wonky cardboard/thermocol
trainer style plane thay broke its landing gear during takeoff.Due to the desperation i tried hand launching it and broke the nose and tail of the plane.Building another one right now(FT bushwacker with hotwired wings).Wish me luck!!
So lucky and proud that i found an Indian forum that actually runs good(excellent here). :salute: :hatsoff:Also thinking about fpv in the future(have become quite good at flying all fixed wing aircraft on the sim ).

Hey buddy,
Welcome to the forum!
I'd suggest to not go with the BushWacker. It's strictly a STOL/3D plane.
Rather, build the FT Old Fogey.
Clear skies,

Oh!
But its pretty much fully built so lets see if the simulator experience comes into play.
I don't know anyone one from my town who has ever flown a rc plane, so i'm on my own for now.Thanks for the advise.
I have added the clark y airfoil hotwired wing so it should be a bit more stable.Also i'm using slow fly props but maybe that would not make much of difference would it?I've learnt to do aerobatics on the sim (spent about 1 month on the sim) and can fly inverted as well on the extra 300 but wouldn't dare to do such things on my second real flight ;D ;D.I'll start a thread soon after the entire build is finished.

It's cool to see other people flying aerial photos with drones, so I want to give it a try myself.
