Hi everyone!
This is my first post on this forum, so if I had to post this thread in another forum, please let me know!
Now, I've been into rc-flying for about 2 years now, but only during the summer holidays, as the weather in Belgium isn't RC-friendly during the rest of the year
Last winter I discovered Flite Test, and immediately, I was sold to the amusing videos...
So, this year, I wanted to build the FT Spitfire, my first non-profile airplane!
As exited as I was, I build this airplane in 1 day (normally I need several days as I quickly lose my concentration )
So, after building the spitfire with a detachable wing, I went to the field behind my house and tossed it into the air...
BUT:
The airplane just rolled to the left and crashed into the ground, braking a propeller (my first time I brake a propeller) and the fuselage, at the point where the rubberbands hold onto the front bbq-skewer.
dispirited as I was, I left the broken airplane in my basement for about a week...
But, as an aerospace engineer at the TU Delft, I just couldn't leave a broken airplane lying around!
So I began repairing the fuselage, and put another prop on the power pod, and tried to fly it again.
And it all happened all over again.
The airplane just looks like it wants to torque roll to the left, and then crashes into the ground (softer ground this tiem, so it isn't broken anymore!).
This has been more than 2 weeks ago now, I again, I just want this plane to fly like they do amazingly in the videos.
So, is there anyone who can help me with this problem?
My powerpod:
Emax GT 2812/05 1840kv
1800mAh 3-cell
50A Emax ESC
the first time I used a 8x6 prop, so I though this was the cause of the torque roll...
the second time, I used a 7x6 prop, but the airplane seemed a bit underpowered, beside the torque toll-thing.
I really want to fly this siptfire, so if there's anyone out there who can help me...
