Harrier rolls. Flat spins. Pop-tops. Torque rolls. We’ve all seen some or all of these moves, and we all want to be able to fly them to show our absolute mastery of model aviation. How do you even start though when everything is a blur of flips and spins? This article will explain how to perform, practice, and master these moves, and by the e …
When you boot in to X-Plane 12 for the first time, eager to hone your flying skills and become a better pilot, you can see all of the extremely well-modeled flight systems and avonics and custom airports but immediately realize a MAJOR shortcoming: since X-Plane can’t stream satellite scenery like other flight simulators can (MSFS and Aerofly …
I am sure some of you might be wondering how we survive all of these long flights. Little do you know that the flight is actually our favorite part! We don’t care where our parents take us, as long as we get to spend a bunch of time getting there. When we boarded the A350 from SFO to Copenhagen, we were seated in the second to last row. Immed …
This airplane flies like something from DCS. Its high rate of turn, massive deflection of control surfaces, and raw, 110+mph speed make the Freewing 70mm F-22 feel on rails when you want to fly like Maverick. It will also fly kinda slow, but let’s be honest; you won’t get this plane in order to fly slow. Furthermore, the F-22 allows you …
At Brothers In Flight, we make articles on R/C aviation, full-scale flights, and flight simulation. We hope these posts can help you find what is hard to get nowadays; real reviews and evaluations of aviation-related content without AI garbage. This is a video showing what we do. …
When I first got the E-Flite Valiant 1.3m for Christmas in 2023, both the airplane and I have changed and been through a lot. As for the plane, I have swapped the default landing gear tires with wheel pants for more suitable-for-grass (semi) bush wheels while removing the wheel pants entirely. For me, on the other hand, things were much more co …
On January 1st, 2025 our flying club hosted the first annual Mavrix Mayhem Freeze Fly . The event advertised an action-packed day featuring RC plane flying, exhibitions, and hanging out with your friends. It was anything but those things. My family starts brainstorming Christmas gifts in June. (My mom is a little Christmas crazy.) By the end of the …
Last Sunday, we took our Grandpa, who was visiting from Maryland, out to the AMOS flying field in Lincoln . AMOS (Associated Modelers of Sacramento Inc.) first chartered on Nov 12, 2004, and we are members of the Mavrix Youth Division. At only $50 a year, this membership allows my brother and I access to the 725-foot runway to fly our RC Airplanes. …
Fun Flying During Mother’s Day On Mother’s Day, we convinced our mother to take us out to the park to fly R/C airplanes. We brought our E-Flite Valiant and our E-Flite Cherokee along with our grandparents, who had come to see us that morning. We flew Greg’s Cherokee first and had a great time zipping around with the Cherokee’s 4-cell (4S)-comp …
In May of 2023, I was participating in a Young Eagles Rally at Lincoln Airport and there was a gyrocopter. A gyrocopter looks like a small helicopter but the main difference is that there is no engine turning the rotor blades and the engine is in the back. The rotors self propel due to the way the air flows through them. The adults that were staffin …
Greg and I decided that our first review of an RC Airplane would be of Greg’s discontinued E-Flite Cherokee. He got that plane for his 9th birthday. The Cherokee is an all-around airplane meant for scale-like and relaxing flying, but it can also do anything from snap rolls to knife-edge spins. Cannot say enough good things about this airplane! Great …
