There were 3 reason why you crashed. the first one: you cannot fly an edf in that location, the runway was not wide and you have obstacles on both sides so landing and takeoff are very dangerous The second one: too many drones i hate drones because they can fly far from the runway because they are fpv but the pilots won’t understand that, so you need to ask every single time to go away from the runway because you have to land an edf The third one: inexperience; yeah you need less excursion on the ailerons and on the elevator, if you want you can set on your radio a setting for the landing so you can fly with your settin during the flight and with the landing setting during the landing So you will be more smooth And I suggest you to do more hours on the simulator

I noticed how they seemed to have no saftey rules in place. Drones flying over heads and the plane flying over heads and cars. I used to fly RC alot. Going to get back into it but we had established no fly zones. We all stayed behind the flight line. And didn't step across it and didn't fly on our side of it. Planes stayed on front of us. Never over or behind us. Unless lost of controll or flight problem. Then we would call it out and any others flying would land imeadiatly and give the guy having trouble the field to get his plane safely on the ground. We flew larger 1/4 and 1/3 scale.

I will be glad when they start making some nice vtol style aircraft or some equipped with GPS and automatic landing. We definitely have the technology to do it just nothing like that on the market yet. How cool would that be to push a return to home like on a drone and it lands itself.

Crashing is a part of flying, no worries, didn't look that bad, I've seen far worse that was fixed with some glue and touch up paint. I own a couple of jets but only fly them on areas with a large landing zone, they need a lot of room because they need to come in hot. Even with full flaps, that was going to be a 50/50 proposition landing there. But it's still cheaper than bashing cars!

It's not too badly damaged, the guy should be able to stick the bits back together with it looking like styrofoam. In the 60's and 70's when those model aircraft came down you knew about it with bits shattering everywhere but still, the modellers would simply repair the damaged parts for newly crafted parts. That said in those days the modellers built the planes from scratch following a detailed plan for every part, the wing structure would be like a skeleton until it had it's wing membrane ironed onto the frame joists. I remember listening to my uncle when he tried to sell some of his old model planes near on 50 years later and being told that the pilots of today want an instant plane ready to fly, they're not interested in learning the aerodynamics involved in creating a plane from scratch so his planes didn't sell. So on that basis....Yes the guys damaged plane in the video will probably never fly again.

I flew RC back in the 80s and 90s, and with the exception of one aircraft I built them all from balsa, and Monocote. I even modified a few. Without understanding aerodynamics, weight and balance, wing loading, etc., I couldn't have done that. It's ironic now that I'm dipping my toes back into the hobby again, all I can find are foam airplanes. Heck, Tower Hobbies doesn't even sell kits any more.
@bkpickell2 жыл бұрын
You don't need to understand aerodynamics to build a model plane. The plansa are very detailed. I used to love putting balsa planes together. Never really liked the foam planes, due to being manhandled too easily by the slightest of breezes. I really miss the smell of nitro burning in the morning. And I am currently building another balsa plane, so yes some people still like putting them together.

He wasn't saying Styrofoam planes are junk, it's just that you don't necessarily have to put it back the same as it was for it to fly, have some fun w it The old way is and was fairly expensive and hard, so you have to modify the plane within your skill and budget (you can make custom Styrofoam parts, all you need is a sharp knife or razor blade.
