This plane is and was a nightmare for me. I harvested it for the few good parts it had and the other 90% is now in the local landfill. I just wish I never hit that buy button. I lost $500!!!!!

I agree with the other person that said it didn’t appear that you were coming in too slow!!! She dropped a wing in a split second!!! I had the same issue with the Alpha Jet. I give you credit Fatguy for posting this video. It will assist a lot of people who haven’t flown that model yet. I really like the lighting and the after burner you installed.

It was the flare. If he maintained the nose angle and just lowered (not chopped) the throttle, it would have touched down just fine. Instead the flare caused the lift to increase, and the angle-of-attack at that speed (which was dropping with no throttle change) initiated a stall ...

Hahahaha !! Wow, that was a jaw dropper! I cannot believe how fast and hard that bird dropped her wing. All you did was pitch up 15 degrees and then BLAMMO! The F14 has the widest wingspan to length ratio. when it yaws to the right, the right wing loses almost all of its lift (because the edge is no longer facing forward) A lot of peeps land with the wings swept back about halfway so they can land with more alpha. The actual F14 has speed brakes at the very back of the aircraft that keep the nose pointed forward (can't flat spin with those deployed)

Happens to all of us and it was a good flight in windy conditions! This bird needs consistent speed on turns and landings as it will give you a subtle warning that will pretty much look like around 02:52 does - that's its stall warning right before it drops the wing and loses altitude fast. Luckily this plane has a LOT of power so if you catch it you can go full military power and usually punch through it. For those watching and not as experienced as FatGuyFliesRc - Gyro is your friend with this plane - use it - it was designed for it and will make your landings so much less knee shaking!

This has nothing to do with EXPO, this was a tip stall. You should not fly a jet as a prop plane, which also means that your exposure should not be more than 20%. I bring in my F 14 with 40% throttle. A nice guideline can be seen in this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9Oimb2h0J_XoXU.html

Sorry to see it, man! This is definitely a stall from flaring too early (and too high) without enough thrust to keep the jet in the air. Neither the 64 or the 80 are tolerant of flaring like that. You'll get it down with practice.

Watch minute 2:50-2:55. Textbook low speed stall warning. If you had a good spotter he or she would have been yelling stall stall stall. Go around. A pre stall is so much easer to react to when your not the one flying it. Most scale jets require higher speed greased landings. Especially in high wind. The wind had a big roll in the sudden drop in air speed. Don't be afraid to fly a scale jet. Practice high speed landing on your sim. and punch out/go around if you see the telltale wing waggle. Also set your c.g. to the nose heavy end of the spec. in high wind. Neutral c.g. in light to no wind.

After watching a few videos of this same Jet flown by many experienced pilots like you, flying more jets then you can count on your fingers 👉... Let me to the conclusion that this jet can not be flared to early and certainly not flown without a gyro. Needs to come in under power , nose level and not flared until wheels are just about touching the runway. Flies on a rail , very locked in but equally touchy. Thanks for sharing. It might save a few owners of this bird a hard lesson in a dirt bath. Sorry to see you get bit like that. 😢

@georgehopper4535 2 ай бұрын
I made this mistake for at least a decade before I figured out the cause. Sum, if not all jets stall with to much elevator throw. Test it out up high. Keep it up high so you have time to recover. Once it stops stalling, record that elv. setting and mechanically set your max throw. 100% setting on radio.
@TwoBrosRC

@@georgehopper4535 That's unfortunately not going to fix the stall seen here. The jet will stall earlier at lower speeds at a given angle of attack. Electrically preventing the stabs from moving to an arbitrary point doesn't stop that from happening.

Sucks to see it go down like that... this has less to do with the speed and more to do with CG, elevator throw and the most important part with a plane like this which is use the throttle to control altitude and elevator to control attitude. With a plane like this you don't use the elevator to control the sink rate because when you do you get this as a result. Fly it to the ground and you will be fine.

Honestly, what could you have done better? Maybe use flaps, to lower stall speed I guess. However, the approach was good and the nose attitude was within reason. That was just a nasty unexpected tip stall. I have this airplane as well and have had to punch out of quite a few stalls on landing so far, but that was by far the most abrupt tip stall I’ve seen out of the tomcat. I really have to make a conscious effort to land this airplane differently than my other edfs.

18mph is the stall speed for this aircraft. From Tom Hunt's twin 64mm F14 testing kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fb2ng9yAubS0dn0.html

In the above video, all stall are too the right. All the crashes and tip stall on other videos are to the right. Makes me wonder if there is a difference of washout between both wings. Maybe the wing mounting fixture is off so the right wing has a higher incidence tban the left.

@FatGuyFliesRC I fly my props where there's a lot of obstacles. I end up hitting things occasionally. I normally land my jet with speed, I really don't flair much. I do have a 550' runway, though. I have learned to fly them at an airpark. I consentrate on keeping them low and level on the final approach.

Motion RC should be ashamed of themselves for releasing that model without working out the bugs. You were not coming in too slow. I have not seen a successful maiden in that model.

Coming in fine then the nose pitched up and then a roll to the right. I'm sorry but I have seen more EDFs picked up in a large trash bag at the field than I can count. Whole different flying approach must be applied and they can be unforgiving. And everything in the setup has to be within a small tolerance. Expensive investment!
