Craigs new F-14 from Motion RC crashes after several good flights due to a suspected wing failure. He had had some issues with flap hinges coming unglued on a previous flight. I hope Motion RC takes care of this. Craig is an excellent pilot flying with a spektrum IX 20.

I agree gyro not checked properly, you could see it. the wing rods disconnect was clearly from the crash going from swept to open on crash landing, popped them off. In Motion RC video setup guide it shows you how to check gyro them how to correct reverse action of gyro. this is a MUST watch. Pilot error

@fern6978 2 месяца назад

Exactly.

I think gyro as well. This look similar to my crash.

@garyrussell7076 Месяц назад

I will buy one if a v2 comes out.

This has been happening to a lot of pilots.

@fern6978 2 месяца назад

Your gyro's roll direction was clearly incorrect. As soon as you turned it on you could see it fighting and become unstable... Gotta check these things before flying guys. The F-14 flies great once you dial them in.

I thought the same thing when I was takinf the viseo. After talking to Craig last night he said the gyro worked perfectly on previous flights. This was his fourth flight.

@fern6978 2 месяца назад

@scotthurley6951 That doesn't sound right as if it was set, checked, and correct, there's no reason to turn it off at any point. You honestly should pull the lead from the RX so it never turns off. The roll was very unstable the entire flight (Likely too much throw and not enough expo) Could just be over controlling and pilot error, but still.

@CRanonymous-kz6op Месяц назад

Gyro wasn't turned on until 2:14. The hard rolling to the left started immediately after sweeping wings. It took almost full right aileron to stop the roll. I still didn't trust the gyro that is why it was off. Seen too many crashes on RU-vid with gyro on. Plus I didn't have access to the gyro to see what all the settings were set at which made me nervous about using it. Right before turning gyro on I tried sweeping wings back out - nothing happened. The ball links had already popped off - most likely when the wings were swept back initially. The day before I was flying the plane with gyro off and on and had no problems (wings left swept out the whole time). Earlier that day before this crash flight I was flying with gyro on and off and wings swept out and in (testing all combinations) and had no problems.

Ive seen more issues with this bird and crashes than good flights. I have one also and have yet to maiden it bc Im nervous to fly it bc I think there is a manufacturing issue with it. Even my friends who are much more experienced pilots than me said when they flew it its great in the air but a handful on landing and issues with the wings. Idk I may keep it as a static model for now until I see some better improvements but from my dealings with MOTIONRC is its always someone elses fault. ugh it really sucks to crash a bird that is $500 bucks. Im new to your channel and gave you a like and sub. Sorry again let us know how you make out with motionrc

@DronemanJoeRc 2 месяца назад

my bud at FAT GUY FLIES RC seem to have it dialed in right now on his part 3 video so check that out if you want to know more about his settings on rates and flaps and mixes

@renaldolama9517 2 месяца назад

Fly it with the wings open. Even the best F-14's fly bad with the wings swept back, let alone a Freewing.

@JN24185 Месяц назад

I’ll say this, I’ve seen both sides of the spectrum on this one. But both extreme. Either extremely good or extremely bad. No gray area on this bird.

@@DronemanJoeRcFGFRC got frustrated with it. His latest video he is not happy he bought it.

@LoveRC Месяц назад

Maybe wait for version 2 before buying.

@alwaysflying6540 Месяц назад

I've seen quite a few crashes now due to wings sweeping forward on their own. Looks like motion has a big problem on their hands

@frank-vq4mx Месяц назад

Your video is the "second" one I've seen that had the wing sweep fail. Looks like a design flaw !!

@briankmavpro5246 2 месяца назад

Sorry for your loss. I have the larger F14 for a few years now and only after heavily modding and programming does it fly good. Seems motion has released a few birds with issues either with servos, linkages or just bad quality foam. Hope they rectify this for you. The f14 is one bird I dont recommend to people.

@thomassullivan3703 2 месяца назад

Oh yeah the control arms NEED WASHERS TO KEEP THE ARMS FROM POPPING OFF OF THE BALL . it needs to be placed between the ball an the screw having no way for the arm to pop off the ball . The back retract mount im seeing isn't as strong. But better than the 80mm set-up on that back retract. Really all im seeing is it's better because of the one battery an it's more compact. But yet wing load gives it a all out thumbs down from me , IT'S GIVING ME THOUGHT'S OF A FLYING BRICK BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT GIVES UP SO FAST TO FALL OUT OF THE SKY

l have alot of freewing jets but l think they have issues with this f14,,l was going to buy one but not now to many crashes with this f14.

Seems to be a problem with this plane. Bunch of vids on the same problem

I've seen quite a few of these crashing now on here,something certainly isn't right with them,so yeah not good at all,quality control issues indeed.

@gianluca387 2 месяца назад

most of the ones I see on RU-vid all end up like this!! I would say that it is not a plane for everyone..or if there is a technical problem on this model..

@victorrcjets7660 2 месяца назад

So the wing was stuck in this swept position?

@wayneschenk5512 Месяц назад

So it’s in swept mode but you had the wings in the forward position on the transmitter then the gyro would be in the wrong mode.

MotionRC will never take responsibility for anything.

@Omhra Месяц назад

wow.. that was some impact.. but I agree.. Gyro obviously incorrectly setup.. and even with the wings flapping.. that plane should have come back to the ground.. and if the pilot did not check the tension on the wing extensors.. well.. pilot error.. Check your planes.. re-check them. Do not fly machines that have not been throughly checked. You put the hobby at risk. Don't be dangerous... oh yeas, and own-up to your errors..

@RCPAH Месяц назад

You all might find this interesting. I used my microscope to zoom in and take a good look at the 'glue' found on the left flap hinges. I also took a look at the hinge pockets on the flap and the wing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0a_OjInUhsU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RYDoIWHJIXc.html

I like this jet But i think im going to stick with the 80mm twin from motionrc that i already have , all the mods an conflicts that i had with the 80mm to get it right , im really not trying to feal with another wild horse. Plus that $500 ? I've seen people flying this like they think it's a first second jet , NO !!! the 80mm was so much of a headache 😂 I got it all good right an flying to my liking , BUT THE COMPLEXITY OF THE HEADACHE . 😂 After the headache WHO WANTS TO KEEP PLAY IN THE DAMN AIR ???? 😂 i be ready to take a damn nap 😂

@SpeedDemonExpress 2 месяца назад

I doubt motionrc will doing anything. Ultimately, it's the users' responsibility to build and check absolutely everything before each flight. If something is wrong, you better catch it before you fly and then let motionrc know about it.

@JDDupuy 2 месяца назад

Motion Rc once again sells a faulty product. Freewing knows they have a problem but will not fix it!

@blue03r6 Месяц назад

But motion rc doesnt make the planes. They just sell them. Dont be so tough on them. Freewing isnt some tiny junk company. They know how to make a plane. Maybe its not ready for prime time. And this plane seems difficult to fly for a lot of people.

Kind of like harbor freight removes negative reviews. I had one if their plastic blow nozzles that exploded and my employer banned HF air tools after that😂 Ironically the same kind of air nozzle from Campbell hausfeld that I got at walmart has held up for years.

Why are people still buying this POS Freewing F-14? It looks so badass but flies like a stone. So many maiden crashes on RU-vid. I also would NEVER buy from MOTIONRD; always someone else fault.
