What did you crash today

[Theuglycamel]

Not today, but two days ago. Elevator came loose and locked up. When i finally got a grip I was full down and trim maxed.

Fixed:

Going straight for the house

Yep, I've learned I'd much rather fix them than look for them

I've never really posted on this thread before but, I had my first crash with my FPV drone this week.

Closest thing to a crash today, was my Freewing Stinger had one of the main landing gear mounts come loose on the take-off roll. Aborted take-off, and only "damage" was some scraping to the wingtip deco.

I'm glad it happened on take-off roll, instead of part-way through the flight.

been flying moderately well lately. Not sure what happened... it all happened so fast (although stuff usually does in the back yard...). One word....crap. 😐🙄

time for some foam-tac and a bit of hope. I think I found all of the pieces

Noooooo! The P-47 is one of mine and @The Hangar's favorites! Let's hope the cg stays the same after all the foam tac!

not quick enough on the elevators after launch. tough bird.

I tried to do a roll with my ft simple soarer 1 accident high with lethargic elevator to pull out with. Crushed the nose badly. Wich the pod and nose will need a rebuild.

Big frustration, is that I busted my girlfriend's buddy box plane due to a reversed rudder. Just testing so it wouldn't be on her.

Couldn't fix it because I was busy switching ch 4 - rudder Which was moved to the aileron spot. After a bug riddle frustrating moment or three, we left the field. 2 minutes at home... No channel 4, then switched up. And it's ready now.

I've been thinking of getting all of the spare parts for the airframe before they're no longer available - that way once I;m better at flying and the current frame starts looking ragged (or worse yet, is too far gone to fly well) I can just pull the electronics and plant them in a nice fresh new plane! Might be coming sooner than later. I'm hoping the CG will cooperate, too. Although I did take the tail off right behind the side air intakes, so if I use the same amount of foam-tac on the front as I did on the back...lol

Well I crashed my p40 on the 3rd flight of maiden day pretty hard. Cartwheeled and broke a wing. Patched up now though ready to be destroyed again!

check out my absolute beginner builds a p40 post for vids and pics of before and after

Bad landing on the Mustang this morning, and will need to reglue the landing gear struts before I fly her again.

Too bad - it will fly again though! I flew mine Friday evening and it impressed me yet again! Such a gentle flyer and decently aerobatic too!

Some more footage for ya

See if you can figure this one out...

It looks under powered, tail heavy, and not enough of a vertical stab

Bigger prop maybe?

Edit: upon closer inspection it seems plenty large... I agree on lack of lift though.

It is in full stall the whole time it is in the air on both attempts, and rolls over to the left and nose down, twice...

Hint is in the comments lol
