What did you crash today

[Wildthing]

Well the maiden of the 3D printed Spitfire went great until I did a loop close to me over my head, lost perspective it being shiny black top and bottom and down she went. NEXT Video to follow

Well at least the 3D printer did most of the work and not you spending 2-3 days cutting and gluing one together, I bet it was a sweet flight while it lasted though?

More then likely yes but next time it will get some color for contrast .

That is one slippery bird if that was half throttle, what is the set up in there?

I don't remember the exact number on the motor ( no labels) but I think 2840 3000KV Powerup Zoom ? , 60A esc, 6X3 TGS prop and a 2200 3S battery. It doesn't take much to make it go fast. 1st time I built it was with the same motor 80A esc and on 4S and it was just nuts for speed. I then also tried a 1400kv motor on 3S with a 10X5 prop and that was fast (not as fast) but fast but because it is a belly lander that 10X5 prop dug in and broke the motor mount on landing.

A 3000 KV! Yeah I can see why it wouldn't take much to make it go fast on a 3s lol

I hate to say it, but perhaps we need a "What didn't you crash today" that would be totally different from the current forums, kinda like America's funniest home videos

I did a maiden/fly/crash today. All in the same flight. it was great fun. The Dr1 will fly again very soon. if it doesn't rain

 

[BATTLEAXE]

"What didn't you crash today"

That would be a short lonely thread lol

Huh the maiden of the Bugatti 100p didn't go so well. I had no control over it and it just plowed straight into the ground.😥 if anyone could tell me what went wrong it would be appreciated.

Do you have a video?

 

[Bricks]

Were you trying to fly or hand launch to slow that gets a lot of people, those type of planes need speed to fly and have control. Where is the CG?

Where was the center of gravity? This is a difficult to fly, very fast design, and if it was tail heavy that would be very difficult to control.
