What did you crash today

[bwarz]

ok. .I tried to laugh. Quite a bit windy and sloppy depth perception landed me hard into a tree. Luckily I was able to retrieve it...

Won't be as nice looking as before, but I think some glue and stir sticks will have me back in the air after an evening. After this didn't have the nerve to maiden the zero or corsair Oh well...heading back out, maybe the wind will calm down

I think I am giving up on the design for now.. either I messed up the CG when I moved the servos (it was fine before I left, but the wind made it impossible to check on the field) or something else. Supper sensitive on the elevator (even after dialing down the dual rates to 60% and as low throws as I could put the servo horns) and really bad rudder controls. It eventually took one to many crashes while trying to get it to fly (yes it wouldn't take long to fix it). I am thinking about retiring this and putting the motor/etc in a new frame...

Not so much of a crash today but I Dragged out my busted up little Durafly Mk24 Spitfire today, gave her a little makeover, replaced the broken and remove the gloopy glue joints with plastic hinges 😍 gave her a little paint job. Now to rob my daughters old dolly box for a pilot
little more painting to do and finish her

What prop were you using? My all time favorite is the APC 10x5 thin electric prop. I used it on my bushwacker and it had tons of power and held up to a ton of abuse.

So again I got eager to fly. I still don't have the T16 yet, maybe another month or so. I do have a Tiger moth to try, being my design, this might teach me some things... and teach me it did. Its good for a laugh if anything

Hey you pulled a @sundown57 he's not the only one to fly into poles

Did you like that! I had to laugh. I wasn't expecting a gem of a maiden but i did expect to see it fly for longer then it did. Did you hear the hit in the vid?! it was twice as loud in person

It was hilarious! Yeah I did hear it!

Nobody wanted to come film it so i had to do the little tripod thing. I wish you could have seen it. Totally went from straight out of my hand and went vertical in less the 30', stalled to the left and dove into the pole.

Could have been a combo of an already heavy plane, over propped, over winged, and maybe a little nose light. Worth a shot any way

Those magnetic poles will get ya every time! Such a good looking plane too, a real beauty eh?

Shame about the plane, video was all kinds of perfect though.
Gave also feels like "I'm not the only one" and "Now i'm too scared to maiden the duck"

 

[sundown57]

so now every time someone flies straight into a pole it's gonna be called pulling a sundown57 ? I feel so honored I might have to take a plane out just to protect my reputation. lol

"Sundown", "Lights Out", whatever they want to call it, its fricken funny

 

[sundown57]

well, I'm hoping to take the 1914 monoplane out tonight so with any luck I can add to your entertainment. lol

Good luck, try not to die. Watch out for poles.

Great to see another vid from you! Too bad about the crash, but It lasted longer than my frankenplane!
