Like any sport or hobby, model flying can be a
little intimidating at first. You'll need a trainer plane that
is easy to fly and built extra-tough to get you past the common
first-time mistakes and mishaps. After only a few minutes of success, you'll be hooked for good!
Even if you manage to damage a wing, prop or tail, SkySeeker GT
is packaged with more spare parts than any other Ready To Fly
(RTF) product on the market to ensure you'll be able to fly longer
with less downtime for faster learning. If you're looking for the fast track to success, you won't find
a better parkflyer trainer than the SkySeeker GT.
Performance
to Please
Whether you're a new pilot itching
for the rush of aerobatic excitement, or an old-timer that's earned
the right to sit back and enjoy the peaceful birdlike circling
of a free-flight glider, the SkySeeker GT will please.
The SkySeeker GT has plenty of power and control authority to
easily perform loops, hammerheads and even inverted flight. If
you have something more leisurely in mind, the SkySeeker GT is
a stable glider so you'll be able to climb to a couple of hundred
feet, set in one click of up elevator and a click or two of turn,
ignore the transmitter, then sit back and watch your free flight
glider thermal for a while. But unlike a true free-flight model,
you only need to turn on a bit of power and fly the SkySeeker
GT back to the field if it wanders off.
Assure success with a true hobby-grade 3Ch RTF, not a 2Ch toy.
Why 3 channels and how are they used
to fly the airplane?
Flying with 2 channels is difficult in all but perfectly calm
weather, and flying with 4 channels adds significant cost and
complexity at the expense of durability. Educators and flight
trainers agree that a 3 channel trainer is the best starting point.
The 3 channels are: (1)Throttle to control airspeed (2)Rudder
or Aileron to turn (3)Elevator to climb or descend
You'll find 2 Channel "crash-and-trash
toy" RTF starter planes priced from $50 with hype about how
smart onboard computer flight control software is the answer when
actually it attempts to make up for the missing elevator control
channel. Even if it helps, do you want to have a computer obscure
your control actions? How does this prepare you to fly the 3 &
4 channel hobby grade aircraft? And what good is a computer if
the toy breaks? |
