ALWAYS When your coming in Dead stick and making an "impossible" turn. Use your rudder NOT your Ailerons. Keeping those wings level will lesson the chance of a tip stall. Unfortunately when you are trying to save a Model like this the Nerves Almost Always get the best of you!
disagree...you always keep your wings level until either the cross wind and/or the final and you drop the nose sufficient to maintain lift over the wings as you a non-slip turn..as long as you are generating lift above the stall component you will not stall...now, if you are to low to execute the cross wind then keep the nose and wings level and hope you don't hit anything on the way down but if too low, never execute a turn.
As soon as he taxied onto the runway and I saw the buildings in the background, I knew. This has to be the crashiest rc airfield in the world. With all the crashes I'm surprised they're allowed to fly that close to a highway.
You got that right! There have been a tremendous number of crashes at this field. Apparently the Japanese are not as embarrassed as others to post their crashes.
Heck..Germans use low volume traffic gen aviation airports to fly R/C (without using formal ATC) AND include control line circles safely away from runways.... efficiency not found in US....oh well!!
Side Note/not related: Did anybody else notice the excessive flutter in the flaps and ailerons when he revved the engine on the ground? That's not something you want if looking for a well put together assembly.
Would have been better off to not complete the turn and take the landing he had available in the grass downwind rather than trying to turn back into a head wind that slow and low.
When I flew RCs I bought only styrofoam models. My planes had about a 90% chance of surviving each flight. In other words they were on borrowed time after 9 or 10 missions.
There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who mutter tired way overused cliches as if they are the first yayhoo that ever thought of them and those that roll their eyes at them.
I used to know a motorcycle mechanic who always cleaned engine parts in a tub of gazoline all the while smoking his cigarettes. Never had an ignition and he lived to a ripe old age finally killed by lung cancer.
@@JesusRocks26 you cannot say its not flamable it 100% is. However you can put a cigarette out 8n a cup of gasoline in a well ventilated area. But i had an accident a few weeks ago where i was working on a jet ski with a fuel system rebuild and had let too much fuel flow into the bottom of the hull. The idiot that worked on the ski before me made a metal battery strap that was idiotic to say the least. While trying to tighten down the positive side of the battery my screwdriver touched the metal of the strap and the ski pretty much exploded in my face. Luckily i wear glasses and a beanie i also had long a sleeve shirt on so i only got minor burns. I also always have several fire extinguishers very close to where i work. Funny because i have, up until now, never needed one. But always know theres a risk and now im very happy i have always been paranoid of fires.
J'ai eu le même en légèrement plus petit 2 m , c' est une vraie Cadillac en vol , je l'ai fait voler durant 6 ans ...Dans cette vidéo , quel gâchis de toujours être en survitesse , c' est tellement plus réaliste, surtout avec un 5 cylindres de voler en vitesse réduite . Quel crime de péter un si joli zing avec un manque de capacité de pilotage . Avant de le réparer , priorité à retourner apprendre en " double"...BM
Very nice. I dont understand why so many rc hobbyists today are into electric already built planes. What ever happened to building from kits and using gas engines?
@@Mike-ff7ib actually all depends how much time you have left in your hour glass. Some people don't have the time to devote 2-3 years to build something like this anymore.
@@gc2916 fly one ARF plane while building the other one for 2 to years. Its not the length of time, its the joy of building. The spirit of building has mostly vanished except in Europe maybe.
At full throttle flaps and aileron didn't keep neutral position, the engine was reluctant to start, this plane better should stay on the ground and been checked intensivly. Further on there was no reason for such a risky forced landing - and for flying right towards the spectators. This pilot should be grounded.
Yes as already said,,,,when dead stick theres no need to hit the runway,just land in the grass straight and level as possible. Lovely plane though and will fly another day.
This was my hobby back in the 1970's in farmlands of California. Now it's bigger internationally. I thought these guys were Japanese and I found it ironic they fly this plane. Nope they are Taiwanese hobbiests. Because the P-47 Thunderbolt was a major enemy of Japan.
Sweet plane!! AWESOME tone to that 5 cyl. radial engine !!!! He was in trouble coming in that hot without enough height. That sucks, atleast it didn't look like much major damage thankfully.
Banking towards the runway at the last second was a mistake. Once you got it gliding low and level just try and flare it in the weeds. Not that I could have even done that well.
I remember when i was a kid finger starting my .049s and getting my finger whacked a few times. I bet it's a real b getting a finger whacked by one this size. 😂 Question though. Why didn't he just land it on the grass???
Beautiful bird guys! I am sorry you crashed it.. Or may bee I shouldn't bee...I know a guy who enjoys crashing and building even more than flying .I wish you all the best !
The battery in the electric starter is not strong enough to turn the prop over. He needs to increase the size of the battery or recharge it fully. Should never ever ever, stand in front of a spinning propeller, if it's backfires it will fly off and cut you to pieces or kill you. That is number one safety rule. They should know better . Too many things wrong in this clip, why is he flying around with his landing gear down, when they are retractable? Also after his engine quit, he's turning a slowing down and he stalled, that means no air flowing over the bottom of the wing to hold it up in the air that's a comma major mistake many Pilots do and crash just as he did. Then in the beginning 3 minutes just to start the engine? I commented about weak battery I'm not sure what's going on. Anyway my opinion way too many mistakes made in this clip. Maybe he was just not experienced enough to fly a plane like that I don't know?
Pretty bad. Got all that room for an approach. Use the rudder! Keep it level, who cares where it lands! An engine like that? Baby it! Not destroy it. Super low idle speed at the beginning of the video. Needed a couple clicks! All pilor error. Every aspect.
