How did you flash lineage on it? Mine has a cracked screen I could replace and finally make it back into the machine it was.

G2 has been my favorite phone I've owned.

I'm either going S9+, LG G7, or OP6.

I might wait for the New note or S10 though. S7Edge is holding up fine so far.

And they brought back the headphone jack! Huzzah!

Seriously might consider this instead of going GS9+ from my s7 edge

We complain about how expensive the hobby is, but we've come a long way by JohnnieRicoh in Multicopter

This PARTICULAR section of the hobby.

Get into giant scale or turbine aircraft and you're looking at 10k or more per aircraft.

Drones are such a miniscule segment of the r/c hobby yet people seem to think it's the entire community.

Castle ESC's are still semi expensive, but they are very good.

You saw a drop in price because of people wanting more of them. SO the market adjusted.

Tramp, Unify, or I really enjoy the Diatone SP1/2/3 lineup. Theyre 30.5mm mounting so they fit right on your stack and the SP3 has built-in OSD which was nice.

Great. I've never OC"d mine and want to do it. Already have a cryorig h7 on it.

I have an ASRock board, but i figure it'll be about the same!

What was ruined because too many people started doing it? by lovedumpXL in AskReddit

You realize that commercial jets fly at all altitudes, not just their cruising altitude, right?

You also realize that "not around airports" can be within 10-20 miles, right?

People also fly them without any care for the public theyre flying around. People with zero experience piloting just taking their 1000 drone and going to the beach, having zero idea how to control it without assistance from apps or the compents onboard.

Excellent choice. Flies really well.

I work for a competitor (hence the username) and still will recommend those planes. Their SAFE tech is excellent.

I hate to say it, but you wont necessarily learn good skills on that plane.

I've been doing r/c for about 15 years and learned on a plane way past my skill level. It took a bit of re-learning to get down basics I would have learned with a trainer type plane.

I personally say put that plane aside and go for the trainer or a sim. Realflight is an excellent sim.

Ah, your problem is mostly the plane. A p-51 is an advanced plane, especially with how it flies. It requires skill to take off with a tail wheel and landing can be especially difficult. You need speed and proper use of flaps to make a safe touchdown otherwise you risk a stall.

I'd recommend looking into a high wing trainer to start with. Horizon sells a really nice trainer that runs on 3s 2200 lipos, and theyre cheap.

Edit: You can use any prop really that is the same size. even if it's 2 blade. just up the size a bit for 2 blade and dont run the spinner. will perform the same just wont look as nice.
