crash

I've been traveling through my country, trying to get awesome shots from landscapes. With it being a tropical country and all, I am bound to get some rain. At first, I thought it would not be a big deal, because I could wait it out or just fly if it was only mist. But yesterday I almost lost my...

I recently bought this racing Quadcopter that was called the Walkera Runner 250. It flew well until I crashed it. It was about 35 feet up and then I dropped all throttle and could not correct it after adding more. It crashed on one side but nothing was apparently broken. Then when I tried...

This video of my maiden was pretty catastrophic... as in, wing failure and skydive ;). Enjoy! Notes on plane: it was a bad design in the first place, the wing was very weak, and couldn't withstand its own weight in a dive :P. I had intent on scrapping it, but decided to maiden it first, to get...

I recently noticed that the 'Show us your maidens' thread was a bit full.. Feel free to post any maiden flight of yours to this thread! This video of my scratch built maiden was pretty catastrophic... as in, wing failure and skydive ;). Enjoy! Notes on plane: it was a bad design in the first...

Hi guys. I am fairly new to multi rotors and i could use a bit of help. I built a hovership mhq2 which I learnt to fly on but I have just built a custom frame for aerial photography. The problem I am having is that I have set up everything in cleanflight. All motors and props are correct...

Hey guys! I just wanted to share one of my videos. It's part of a series where I fly fpv with my buddies and take the best clips, compiling them into a short video. If you like what you see you can check out my other videos on my youtube channel. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions...

Goodmorning FT community, Yesterday I took my p-51 out for MY maiden (as i had let the pro's trim it out for me and make sure i built it right), I was incredibly impressed with the characteristics of the plane and to be honest the power package. Coming from...

Just anything crashed that you dont want to repair, i live in boston but shipping will be 50/50

Hi guys. I've been working on a build that I saw in this video.. Unfortatly Mikey dosen't have the plans or the plane. I looked at both of his videos that feature the plane frame by frame and was able to get most of the measurments. Also he listed most of the components in the comment sections...

Hi! I got up at 5:30 to test fly my new design... remember I wanted it to go fast.(bad idea) Here is the aftermath: On the first flight everything was OK. But it was fast...too fast. So I backed off the throttle and the plane did a high speed stall. :( I brought it down, moved my cg a little...

Parked/Landed my FT Tiny Trainer high up in a pine tree this evening after work. Tromped around in the thicket of vines and smaller trees below breaking rotting limbs off to try and throw at my plane. I hit the plane a few times, but it didn't budge. Got all scraped up in the process. Then...

Greetings, Would love to get thoughts on the plane and the video, I have PDF plans and have been thinking of doing a build video and FT article, let me know if there is interest in this type of plane. Dimensions: ~54" Wingspan ~40" Fuselage Setup: 30amp Red Brick ESC Turnigy 9 gram servos...

So I was out with my friend flying our planes and for some reason about four times after take off while flying low my plane decided to aileron roll the other direction I told it to for a few milliseconds. At the time I just thought it was turbulence as it was quite windy. Anyway, I carried on...

So after my giant fail with the f22 I build, I wanted to take a step back... So I chose the nutball since it's one of the most easy to build and fly planes out there. The build was easy but very frustrating because the shape is round everywhere and I had a hard time making everything perfectly...

There was the episode a while back with the parachute plane, but I would love to see an episode for Heli, Multirotor, and plane pilots on recovery parachute options, for when things go too wrong to catch, and espeically for multis, since they have the glide path of a homesick rock. I know...

It is a good idea (if you want to keep your multirotor in one piece) that you allow your craft to acclimate to the temperature you will be flying in. I typically let mine adjust to the outside temp for an hour. Then recalibrate your control board. Otherwise this could happen to you...

So, quite some time ago I bought myself a hobbyzone champ. very easy and fun flying micro. But soon enough, you grow out of it. because my birthday would be soon and I had some money saved up, I wanted to build my own plane. I started to buy some parts and things. As I wanted to be wise, I...

Hey Everyone, I need some help on this. I just maidened my new rotor bones spider quad and everything went well. The next day I flew again and the quad pitched forward several times and gained so much forward momentum that it slammed into my shed. I am flying with a KK2.1.5 control board with...

If anyone has a Hangar 9 Corsair .60 fuselage that they need to get rid of please tell me. I want to rebuild mine but i cannot find the body. I can find all of the other parts except that one!

Hi, I am new to the hobby and live I the UK. Finding foamboard here is hard but I have found something similar but it's really heavy. 250grams for an A0 sheet. This appears to be at least three times heavier than DTF. The couple of planes I have built from flitetest plans, ft flyer and the...
