What did you crash today?

[L Edge]

Had a little accident today! Been flying without a gyro and getting pretty good! But I tried doing a knife edge a little too close to the ground on high rates (like really high rates!) and hit a little hard. Thankfully it will be a pretty easy fix!

If you want to do knife edges, take a plane without any dihedral in the wing. And do it 3 crash heights. The only high rate you need is the rudder(especially at low speed) to control it in the wind.

Another plane that will improve your flying skills is a bipe. That where you learn to integrate the rudder, throttle with the right hand movements. Notice that not many pilots have them.

Yeah I should have done it higher be you know, when your brother challenges you you tend not to think so much! lol

Very easy to fly too!

Hey @Mr Man, how easy is the Goblin to fly compared to the FS Simple Scout?

I've never built or flow the Simple Scout, but, I can say that it'll be a lot easier to fly than the Mini Mustang, And probably comparable to the Versa Wing, Like I once said, I flew this as my second plane without too many issues.

 

[Mr Man]

It's decently easy, I once built it with dihedral and it really didn't make too much of a difference other than roll rate.

That's good! I accidentally forgot to put my gyro in my goblin before I glued the bottom on so I guess I am flying it without a gyro!

Speaking of Goblin......

It was really easy to fly!.....Until I lost sense of direction below tree level and failed to see my direction before I sailed smack right into some 45 - 60ft maple trees.....If you know anything about maple trees they are very very dense!

Almost as dense as me!

I folded the speed wing by pulling up hard at 70mph.

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Oh man! You guys are making me not feel so bad!

Maybe you can add a paint stick along the bottom to make it straight again?

Yep, I should’ve done that.😂

 

[Mr Man]

On the plus side, I’ve now got a spare 80a esc.

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Yep, I should’ve done that.😂

No, I meant to repair it....

 

[Mr Man]

No, I meant to repair it....

Hmmm, a possibility, I’ll see what I’ve got on hand.
