The plane was purchased second-hand and flown by Josef E. It's not my plane and I didn't fly it. I just made the video.

I have one of these. It has an EME 35cc with auto start. Even with with the weight of the auto start, controller and lipo up front. It’s still slightly tail heavy. I hope your friend is able to get it fixed and back in the air.

It's a shame not to take advantage of all that tall soft vegetation when the landing is sure to go badly.

Love the crack sound she made was worth watching till the end.. Looks like she will be repairable

I didn't look at the plane up close after landing, but I don't think much was damaged. Keep your eyes open when buying a used plane, and don't believe anything the previous owner says.

The more fuel burned from the forward fuel tank, the worse this already tail heavy plane could fly.

Glad it wasn’t an all loss maiden. I myself had skipped over instructions almost every time during constructions. However. CG check is of an obsession for me before any maiden flight.

For me too, of course. Unfortunately, he relied on the information from the previous owner instead of referring to the data from the manufacturer.

Very lucky, nose heavy flies poorly, tail heavy usually flies once!

Big Glow Engine. You don't see those very often now. I wonder what it is/was? Big ST 3000 maybe? Pilot was a little slow on the elevator to smooth the landing/crash.

I don't know about the engine. With the elevator I think the speed was simply missing at the last moment.

Hobby manufacturers dream client. Fly around and make it more tail heavy as it drains fuel. Wow.

I don't know, but I think he had a lot of trouble keeping the plane in the air at all, so he landed as early as he could.

So easy to test the balance prior to takeoff. Why did you never performed the test?

As far as I know, the owner and pilot of this machine bought it second-hand. He probably relied on the center of gravity marked on the machine. That was a mistake!
