Day 10: Fly your RC plane (and land this time)

Today, you’re going to do exactly what you did on day 8. Today, however, you’re going to land that plane without crashing it. If not, well, no big deal. Just repair it and try again on the next calm day. As you get better, you can try flying in a little more wind, but don’t go crazy. If there’s too much wind, you might not be able to fly the plane back to yourself. Worst case, it’ll get blown away where you can’t see it (like onto a roof, in a tall tree, or into someone’s yard) and it’ll be a total loss.

Now that you’ve learned to fly, you can try more advanced maneuvers, like loops. Many people do aerial photography by putting a light-weight video or still camera on their plane. And, of course, there are hundreds of other planes to choose from capable of flying much faster and doing much more advanced maneuvers.
