crash

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...

Well this is what happened, I got the electrohub tricopter built it and flew it stock on the flip 1.5. Made about 7 flights in the stock configuration and it flew solid. The only complaint I had was that the yaw was slow compared to what I wanted . I went into the multiwiigui and changed the yaw...

Hey gang. I had my first crash over the weekend, and it was entirely my fault. Footage of the crash from a mobius on the underside of the Storch is here: What I observed happening at the time was a pop while starting a turn and bank to the right, then I completely lost control of the plane...

Finally got round to editing this footage from a few weeks ago! Some flying at a local windfarm with friends which was cut short due to an....'incident'. Skip to 2:10 if you're impatient and want to see the mid air collision! Decided to have a bit of fun with the editing as well, hope you...

It left the ground under it's own power, so technically it qualifies as flight... Ready for takeoff. Pitches up and yaws left HARD. This isn't going to end well. As expected. Might have a slight thrust angle issue after that landing. I swear the CG was spot on, control surfaces trimmed and...

I want to hear stories of loss and discovery. Everyone has had that one crash where a piece of the wreck goes missing. Whether it is a battery, esc, or that one favorite rudder, loosing parts at the field isn't fun. Then hours, days, or years later you unexpectedly stumble upon the missing...

Hello everyone, i need your help and advice. flying my Hexacopter DJI F550 between two buildings, it wasnt windy where i was but 15 feet of the ground the hexa start shaking really bad, with strong wing, i lost visual and it landed on one of those ponds that new buildings are so fond of it. I...

Who doesn't love the smell of hot glue and foam board in the morning?!! I've been flying RC for some time now, well since rubber band escapements were the new thing. Anyway, I decided that FPV would be the next thing to try. Well, FPV she's an unforgiving lassie with a steep learning curve...

What I would like to see is how flite test disposes of old, severely damaged, minor damaged, and simply demolished batteries. The internet has loads of stuff regarding salt water bath, discharge to '0' volts per cell, etc. What do you guys do for the battery that is (fill in the blank). Would...

Just started flying 2 months ago with hobbyzone delta ray. I flew it successfully some and crashed it some. Wanted something different so I got a parkzone radian. I expected a sailplane to be slow and gentle but to ME it seems fast and hard to fly. Main problem is on launch, first time I put...
