Title: Which RC Plane / Heli / Car etc did you crash this week? Post by: rcpilotacro on February 18, 2012, 06:12:36 PM I took out Phoenix Decathlon out of hibernation after a long time, it was a glow converted to electric. First flight wasn't successsful, due transportation, wing axis had warped, so repaired it and and she flew like a charm, this one, i was planning to use to banner tow etc for the forthcoming meet at Mizoram. first flight i had a LVC so landed short, changed the prop to 14x6, second sortie as i took off and she didnt even reach 50 mts , i lost complete control of the aeroplane she did 3-4 turns on her own before going down in flames (Yes Flames). it was spectacular, i was flying it on the hobby king orange receiver. starting to loose faith on orange

Classic Mistake - throttle + nose down instead of nose up. Lesson learnt: Dont mess with nose downs, especially when close to the ground. And adjust nose *before* throttling (I throttled first and then fumbled to adjust the nose)...bad bad, goes to the workbench. Title: Which RC Plane / Heli / Car etc did you crash this week?

Post by: girishsarwal on June 20, 2012, 03:03:32 PM @rcpilot, I wish i had that figured out *before* the crash. Short lessons of life, sometimes learnt the hard way...
