    I think the best thing about this video is the presenter staying cool over the crash. No dramatics. Just a review of what happened. You can't keep a passionate Modeler like Troy down. Onto the fix and she'll fly again. Amazing build of an aircraft. Thank you for posting it.

    I think you got the order of events of the crash wrong. The edf's and ESCs would have pulled too many amps through the wires connected to the battery. The wires wouldn't have been thick enough and so got hot enough to melt the insulation, shorting the battery. That would have caused the battery to explode and the esc to shut down. This would then have shut down the receiver, making you lose signal.
    Up until then, it looked like it was flying great and the plane looked pretty awesome.
    moral of the story: use thick wire that's rated for the current (2x 80A) and make sure your battery can have a high enough C rating to power it

      Is going to land at 100mph at idle.
      So you get her up into the patern and kill the engine.

It's always great if you can go out, fly at least two times, and come back without a scratch, but you have to accept that things can and will go wrong. If you can't, then you're gonna hate it. If you can, then believe me, you'll love it or I wanna know why not, lol. Especially FPV. It's truly a special experience. :-)

    Great job on the design and build. There's a lot to learn from this crash. The fuselage is clearly a lot stronger than it looks in the build. Just beef up your wiring, add a separate receiver battery, provide some cooling for your ESCs and batteries, replace the plastic wheels and gear with something that can absorb the shock of take offs and landings, and version 2.0 will be much better!

      Its AWESOME right up to the point of impact.... or until you leave it in your car on a hot day....
      OR hang it from the ceiling in your garage...
      I just lost my entire 3d printed fleet of 7 very large airplanes.
      Last Monday, Salem Oregon was THE HOTTEST place in the country.....
      I didn't even stop to think about planes in the garage until Wednesday night. 3:00ish AM I say straight up in bed from a dead sleep and thought, OH NOOOOO.....
      Went downstairs, opened the door and got hit in the face with a blast of hot air.
      At first glance everything looked ok.
      Upon closer inspection, the rubber padding over the string I use to hang the models had pushed ever so slightly into the plastic.
      I thought, ok I can deal with this.
      That's when I looked at the Corsair.
      I saw it straight on and I could tell the wings were not right.
      From the side, all the models were drooping just a tiny bit behind or in front of the motor(s).
      Every plane with motors drooped a little between the motors and the center of gravity.
      Gliders long wings drooped the most.
      They almost look ok, but there is no way they will fly. Not even close.
      As display models they are ok.
      I figure it will take me 1800 hours to reprint them. Double that to paint and finish.
      Two hadn't been flown yet....
      I figure the garage must have reached 130ish?
      Salem got to 117 officially. My house was 119. The garage has a black roof and was in direct sunlight from 5am to 9pm....

    Congrats on a magnificent design and build Troy!! Probably the best 3D printed design I've ever seen! Sad to see you crash. My guess would also be the too small wires before the split and the XT60. They are only designed to hold 60A and you draw close to 130A at take-off. Use the XT90 and thicker wires if you rebuild. The rest should be fine. good luck and happy flying!
