12 ARF Radio Control Mistakes to Avoid

In this video I will go over 12 of the most common mistakes a new RC (radio control) pilot can make with buying and flying their first RC Almost Ready to Fly (ARK) RC model airplane. By avoiding these common mistakes you have a much better chance of success in the radio control hobby!

Almost and Ready to Fly (ARF/RTF) RC model aircraft have revolutionized the radio control industry. For the first time, modelers can purchase quality RC model aircraft they fly extremely well, often for less cost than to build the models themselves.

The challenge this poses is people with zero model RC flight time can find themselves at the RC field trying to take off for their first flight. This often can end in a crash.

By review these 12 steps, modelers can go a long ways toward avoiding these completely preventable outcomes.

ARF Radio Control Mistakes to Avoid:

1. Pick the right ARF for your skill level
2. Join an RC club
3. Purchase quality RC gear
4. Use a computer flight simulator
5. Preflight your new ARF kit
6. Read the ARF instruction manual
7. Discussion regarding RC airplane autopilots
8. Charge your batteries
9. Do a control check before every flight
