Timmy's Crash Log (24 crashes)

[Timmy]

And this is why we do a control check before every takeoff or hand launch. Don't just waggle the sticks, check that everything moves the right direction.

yep. This is the second time this has happened to me. I just won't learn . And that is why this crash feels 10 times worse.

Never make the same mistake twice; there are so many new ones to try!
Sometimes the lesson just has to get beaten in hard enough. I still fall into the "one last flight" temptation when I know it will end badly.

I find that I have a much better time flying when I approach an RC flight with the same attitude I would with a manned aircraft. And then, even if something does go wrong, you're only out a model.

Yay I crashed again! I didn't have enough elevetor throw and couldn't pull up enough to land. Well I did still land though. hehe.

Look at all those guts come out! This thing is fun though.
Also it didn't break at the glue joint which means I glued it well hehe.

Thanks Timmy you have cheered me up , Don't think I have had that many crashes in all the years I have been flying

Quick tip, buy a TX16s transmitter. As well as having the model name, you can down load an image into the memory too. So when you select the model you plan to fly, it has the name and its picture so you can't go wrong

I crashed the grunjet. I suck at landing it!

I also found a crack where the tail section meets the wings. I don't think thats from the crash though. Thats just me being stupid with the plane.

 

[CrshNBrn]

That sucks. Sorry. Will you rebuild it?

 

[Timmy]

That sucks. Sorry. Will you rebuild it?

yeah! No need to be sorry! I've already fixed the nose and thrust tube. i just gotta glue the tail back on. No biggie

 

[TheFlyingBrit]

That tail section looks like its taken some micro bullet holes too Wonder it thats why he has started to wrap his models to cover up the puncture holes

haha lol. No thats where i marked out where the servo was gonna go. I ended up putting it on the other side of the fuse.
"Micro bullet holes"

I have a feeling you didn't crash after all, maybe it was shot down by another jealous member of the forum with a micro BB gun

My crash log:

High Wing Thing	disintegrated	because the gods betrayed me	How to fix: cry
Mustang	Ekranoplan-ed and prop-smashed	because why	How to fix: cry
Concorde-thing	floated to the ground	because it wanted to be a balloon	how to fix: Be confused

"wanted to be a balloon" got me
EDIT: My planes act like ballons. lead balloons.

 

[tesseract]

wuts that mean? Like flaten it?

no it means stall it 1/3rd of its wingspan above the ground.

 

[Timmy]

no it means stall it 1/3rd of its wingspan above the ground.

yeah but its very fast and its hard to slow it down for landing, and when it does slow down int becomes a bit finicky.I'll try that though, thanks.

 

[Timmy]

More crashes. See table on first page for details.

A couple of days a go I was flying my F-22. I was flying with the wind and when I tried to make a turn close to the ground I lost control due to low airspeed.

The nose too the hit and the battery got ejected 7 meters away or so. My biggest battery ejection yet!
Today I fixed it and its ready to go again with improved CG and battery 'tray'.
