Your funniest (weirdest, craziest,\u2026) moment as a F3B pilot?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Most embarassing and a bit funny. When I started F3B, I underestimated the plane speed when landing. It slide past me and kept going to a bunch of pilots. They all jumped up together and the plane slide underneath and past them \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the most important thing a F3B rookie should know?<\/h3>\n

Get an experienced pilot to show you how to do each task and to setup your plane properly.<\/p>\n
