What did you crash today

[Piotrsko]

Well lost another motor and battery today🙄 lost Signal. It was my good battery too😢

Quite possibly one of the handful here that actually can recognize a tip stall or real LOS. Well done, I salute you. Remind me not to loan you batteries.

Lol thanks man, I just got more batteries so I’m good to go!

Btw: if you are still running to burning buildings, heartfelt thanks for what you do, if we ever meet I owe you a GOOD coffee or better. If you had to give it up, I understand, most of the male members of my family used to do that.

Interesting sparrow maiden flight today...

I swapped out the motor on my E flite P51 foamy and forgot to swap out the ESC.....full throttle launch - it "crashed" into the ground when the guy hand launching it dropped it like a hot rock - which it was - as smoke was billowing out of it because the ESC was way to small. Boy does that stink.

That stinks😜. Electrical fires are fairly dangerous and unpredictable when you add lipos into the mix.

FT Explorer.... Dont buy those cheap knock off spektrum AR6210s off amazon, absolute garbage...

Just curious where do you have the receiver placed in this plane? At that distance your control issue was when the plane was basically in the same attitude each time, banked left and turning more out infront of you. Could you have something blocking the signal in this attitude?

The Fish I built doesn't like the 2200 battery I tried her with so I'm going to give it a shot with a 1300. Had the elevator set a bit down so fixed that. Here goes nothing!

Good luck!

Flies like a dream. Right up till I lost rudder, then she met a tree. No damage re gluing servo then up again. Absolute dream flyer!

Yay!

Should have quit whilst ahead! She now lives about 50 ft up in an elm tree. Just couldn't stop flying. Hypnotic. Even a 30' extension ladder and a long stick did not reach. Love getting exp. LOL. Back to the drawing board.

I feel your pain... (BTW just got it out after an hour of trying)

Tried a fishing rod. Got close but lost my lure. At least you got her back. Sounds so forlorn up there, beep. beep. beep.

It’s in the rear of the fuse, with a sattelite mounted on the tail boom. pretty standard setup, i’m pretty sure it’s just because it was a junk knock off of an ar6210. I got what i paid for!

I lawn darted the Rhino today...

No real damage other than ripping off the nose, (by design), and a little leading edge crinkle. A little hot glue and she will be right as rain.

The wind was SSW and I did not want to land out in the field as it was still a little damp. Once I get that massive willow tree cut down and the yard cleaned up a bit, I will be good to go.

That wasn't a lawn dart, that was just a big flop.

Glad you didn't hurt my plane to bad

It would be interesting to try this test since you were always circling right if the problem would still be there going to the left. Just one of those curious things.
