R/C AIRPLANE BUILDING AND COVERING VIDEOS

Here at GettingAirborne.com we realize that the best way to teach somebody is to actually show them how to do it. With that in mind we have produced a set of instructional videos to help you get started in RC Flying.

We're certain that you'll find these videos both entertaining and informative. They are available for a small fee that we will use to keep the lights on here GettingAirborne.com.

After paying the one-time fee, the videos may be viewed from our site as often as you like with no expiration date, or you can download them to your computer for easy access later.

Just look at what some of the RCUniverse members have to say about them:

Ok. I have watched some of the videos.... and....... THEY'RE GREAT!

If you're a Beginner, It doesn't matter if you bought a Kit or ARF or RTF. These videos are MUST. They are very hands on and explain everything.

I downloaded the building guide for my plane (that is en-route) to familiarize my self and have been reading it for the past week, but the more I was reading the darn book on how to install the nose gear/ ailerons/ rudder/ clevis/ elevator, the more confusing it got. I downloaded the videos that had to with all that. It explained all I need to know. In just 30 minutes, I know how to properly install the Nose gear, Ailerons, Rudder, Elevator, how to make pushrods and tons of other things.

I like that Ken and Minnflyer separated the videos so one can get just what they need. I didn't buy a kit so I didn't get those videos but I think I will now.

The videos made perfect sense and now that I go back re-read the manual, it all made sense.

All you newbies, ORDER THE VIDEOS. Probably the best $25 you'll spend to save your $400 plane.

I've been flying for a few years, but never built a kit. I started watching the kit building videos last night, and I think I have enough confidence to try building one myself, now!

That's a lotta stuff to watch!!! My youngest daughter just got home from school, and she is watching them on the widescreen in the family room. I cut them onto a DVD with menus so we can watch them together while eating popcorn.

Gotta get back, she's calling me with questions!!!

Video Set #1 - Building an RC Trainer Kit - View Sample video

One of the most intimidating tasks in this hobby has got to be building an RC plane from a kit. We understand how overwhelming it can be when you open the box to find a bunch of wood that somehow gets assembled into an airplane. Our video package was created to get you through some of the rough spots and to help take the mystery out of kit building.

In this 42 part series we will take you from opening the box through all the steps to get you to your maiden flight. The large-format videos (640 x 480) include the actual build of the plane, covering, final assembly, installing the radio, balancing, breaking in the engine, and much more. This video series consists of 3 major sections, "Building", "Covering", and "Tank and Engine". Each section can be purchased separately, or all three can be purchased for one price saving you money.
