My Miniac Stuka

[MiniacRC]

Done and done. I have a cw prop. Everything to the right. The video is gone. As mentioned, too much throttle and probably a bad launch angle. Up and over and down!
Whatever! It's just foam.

Peter

Your build looks beautiful brother!!!

But does it whistle in a dive?

No, but when I get good video of it, I have a clip I'll add to the soundtrack!

You should see if you can add a cheap whistle to it somewhere so it screams. That would be amazing. These electric airplanes are really cool, I just wish they were louder!

 

[Homey]

Got so excited, I rookied out! Lol. I know it flies, makes me happy!

Peter

 

[Wildthing]

So that's it???? Did you break it or just quit?

Broke it. Will fix and try again!

That bird looks beautiful I am waiting to see it do an entire circut around the flying field, so don't quit .

 

[FoamyDM]

Those look like my flights.
The damage sounds fixable. The plane looked great in the air, and seems to be gentle. Good luck

Do you know if it stalled on you or maybe just not enough deflection on the ailerons.?

My non-professional opinion it almost look tail heavy which made it dynamically unstable. But without actually feeling the airplane I can’t actually tell.

Also, is the motor rubbing on something? Didn’t look like it had any “free spin” after you did your little throttle test.

I know it's hard to diagnose without the "feel" . See I almost would have thought he was nose heavy by watching it over and over again.

I think he might have the brake on in the esc.

The quick left then right wobble is what made me think tail heavy. Quick left then right tail stalls into the dive. I may be wrong. Only OP knows.

 

[Homey]

K, from the ground. I cranked the throws up..... shoulda let them be! Great fun.

[MiniacRC]

@Homey The build is incredible! What power setup are you running it on?
I used a standard FT f-pack on a 6*4 prop (3s) and it was very docile
Hope you get yours fixed up and flying great! Here's the vid of the first flight we had with it, you'll have to excuse the excited yelling!

 

[Homey]

Well, more progress but need to add even more nose weight. So twitchy.
