- Thank you guys for checking out the video! I really appreciate it. I’m not feeling like I am at a loss on this jet. I do not feel like it is worth the money that it costs new and I do not recommend this product. This is my own opinion. This was still fun though!! Please smash that thumbs up if you haven’t already!
Win some, lose some! It’s what the hobby is all about. No worries! It was fun while it lasted! Plus, you can always repair it in the future if you’d like and get it back out there! That’s one thing that’s so great about the hobby!
Thanks for all the support everyone! ✌🏻♥️
Piece you mean pieces!! Sorry to see the f100 go down like that I will take his evaluation of the plane and stay away from it! Brother in rc Marty from Canada 🇨🇦🛩🛩🌞
Thanks babe!! This is another one that had a short life span.
KNOW THIS FEELING, DUDE ! Know this feeling . It’s all good . Wrap this up as another learning experience, move on , BUT DON’T let it come back to haunt you down the line . Figure it out & understand it . Through your own eyes or someone else’s. These damn jets are way too expensive to just crash and walk away . Keep ur jet grove on , see you & Ashley in the next video.
@@martymannisto1109 thank you man!
@@reginaldwashington764 Thank you sir!! I appreciate it!
Professional calm afterwards... I would be a bit nervous flying that right turn into that road. Are maybe turning too fast to avoid flying over the street?
I am impressed by the way you two reacted !!! Total silence instead of $?%$##%&?&*&??% !!!LOL!!!! The show must go on. Keep the nice videos coming!!
Thank you!! I was surprised Ashley did not say anything hahah. Cheers man thank you for watching!
Another one for the spare parts bin, part of the Hobby man! 👊✌️
That's right bro!! Thank you!
You took that loss well, my friend. At least the batteries look like they survived. It could have been way worse. Keep on truckin'!
Thanks David!
Mine does not take off like that ,id say you were tail heavy. I put a 80mm fan in mine and get 5 min flights . Also you said you had a 1900 kv motor ? On 8s ??? Should be more like 1400-1500 kv . Were you using the Aura8 that come with the jet?
Well…now you’ve gotta click that button and buy something, what the hell, it will make the pain go away, sometimes ya do gotta know when to say when and move on, especially when there’s that other planes and jets to explore, and oh yeah…I’m case ya forgot….you kicked that L39’s ass brother!!!! GETCHA some of that👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼💥
hahaha I really think so man!! I just don't know what to get. Now that I have my toes dipped in balsa, that is pretty much want I want to get lol! L-39 is just so amazing man Thanks again!
I can fix that plane and make it look so good that it would WIN!!! the Top Gun invitational. I'm not kidding. Aluminum covering, rivets, cockpit.....the works!!!
Once again thank you for the honesty
Thank you for watching!
Some fly forever and some fly for never
hahahaha yes indeed man! Big Thumbs down to this onw
noticed your L39 and this one glitched out in the exact same spot at your field.... radio issues or interference issues?
Neither of those. No signal losses bro. My jeti has always been invincible here. Definitely a jet issue. The 900 and 2.4 do not interfere with each other. Thank you for watching!
@@hamiltonshangar roger that.... i am running 2.4 main rx and a 900mhx back now on all my high $ jets and planes... so much stuff on 2.4G now, its like wild west in the 2.4g freq band now days...lol. our fields been having some 2.4 issues lately... all TX brands..... i lost my Rebel hot turbine a couple weeks ago... nothing on the sticks as i watched her go into the trees..... and this was the FIRST time i ever had radio issues at our field... and it had to me my rebel hot.... annoying.... keep your head up and keep having fun..... that why i have been in RC since 89! and still love it..
@@ltdorn I’m very sorry to hear this about your Rebel man!! If I had signal loss she would’ve told me and I mean my jeti lady lol 😆 thanks for watching again!!
Looked like the same place the Albatross went down?
Have seen these fly great at the Pilot Ryan fly in and at Jet Jam, you took the hit very well Che. Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff
Love your radio.
Thank you! It is awesome!
I usu Spektrum Radios for all my electric planes. Thanks Darren
well when the model did a 90 degree right bank with the swept back wing the model stalled
Jets with there swept wing must be flown more carefully . Banking increases stall speed
the Swept wing even more so.
Thank you!
I'm so SORRY CHE' SIR. AS OUR BROTHERS FROM SLOVENIA ALWAYS SAY. ITS EITHER THE MADIEN FLIGHT OR THE MADIEN CRASH. TAKE CARE SIR🇬🇧🇺🇸 HAMILTON'S HANGER ♥️💯👍⭐✌️
That's right man!!! If you aren't crashing then your not flying. Thanks for watching Mike!
Way to suck it up Ché! Every plane absolutely has an expiration date. Some sooner than others. Part of the hobby, and glad you took it well. Especially since it was already giving you issues!
Thanks man, you are so right!
OH NOOOOOOOOOOO! 🤯
Man Che', sorry bro! Oooof! But hey, you're almost at 1k Subs and this video will only help propel you so there's THAT! NIIIIIIIIIIIICE! 😁👍
I hope so lol!! Thanks man!
Che sorry to see it go down. Really sad. I like the move on attitude sorry the flex didn't work out. My flex jet will be flying soon. Hopefully no troubles. 👍👍😉✌👊
Thanks man!!! 👍
Definitely seems like you're experiencing some kind of intermittent issue that does not seem to be the power system.
I am done with this one bro. I will stick to the ones I know best! Thank you for watching.
@@hamiltonshangar yeah waste of money bro
Sorry about that Che. Better luck with the next project!
Thanks 👍
Very good looking model. It's a shame it didn't behave better. Sometimes they just don't cooperate and I trust your review. Enjoyed watching and Hope your next maiden goes flawless!🗽👍✨✨✨✨✨🎥🎬 F-100D Junk ✔ That Block
Thanks man!
Dude. So Sorry to see that happen again. Screw that jet.
Haven't heard too many good things about Flex Jets. They're flight stabilizer seems to mess up. Happened to a buddy of mine. Looked similar, and his cg was fine.???? GOOD luck with the others. Skip
Skip, thanks a lot man, I could not agree more about this one. I am sure there is something off with the Flex Jets for sure. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch. I hope your lighting it up with the burners I have been checking out on your channel. Cheers!
@@hamiltonshangar good luck to you also my friend
Sorry about that. Very good looking model. It's a shame it didn't behave better. Sometimes they just don't cooperate. Thanks for the good info!
Thanks Mike! On to the next! lol!
Damn bro that sucks. Planning a trip down that way in November so I'll definitely have to check you flying some shit.
Heck yeah man!!
Dang fam, sorry to hear you’ve had continued issues with this one.
Thanks bro! You'll have that though I guess! On to the next!!
Che’ such a beautiful plane to have that kind of luck. Sure you can’t salvage it? Wasn’t long ago I put a plane in a tree line and got it back flying. My damage was minimal compared to yours. Just give it a rest and maybe swap out some electronics and repair it in your own time. Hang in there buddy. 👊👊😊
I know right!! I might but another fuse, but I do not think that it is worth it yet!
too bad, but like you said; 'time to move on'...have a great week ! ...
That is right man thank you! You too!!
A shame! I've seen several videos on this flying very well.Some say needs more power,but some say power ok.C,G. being too far aft will usually bite you.Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Don!
Noooooo!!! Not this one too!!!! 😥
:(
The Aura is a great thing and worth figuring out!!!! Just sayin!!!
I did that exact same thing with my eFlite F-16 but at a lower altitude. Right after takeoff, relatively slow right turn, I put in a lot of back pressure which caused the right wing to stall (right wing has a higher angle of attack because it’s on the inside of the turn), jet rolled and yawed to right and then spiraled into the ground. The left-wing is still generating more lift which gets the jet rolling further to the right; and then the right wing, which is deeper in stall, has higher drag that yaws the jet to the right. It appears those two forces together got your jet into a well-developed spin. Your video could easily be used in any aerodynamics course to teach stall / spin characteristics; and that F-100 does have some nasty stall / spin characteristics. You might find interesting this old TH-cam video on F-100 spin and recovery. th-cam.com/video/hldpdFd4Jts/w-d-xo.html.
That was one for the books man! I guess you'll have that. I really appreciate your detailed comment!!
Why a 1900kv on 8s should be a 1300-1500 just wondering ? Totally sucks brotha , you will bounce back with the next bird can’t wait !
Not sure LOL thanks for watching!!
Any clue as to what happened?
I'm thinking because it was tail heavy, other than that, I do not know sir. Thank you for watching!
Easy, Tip Stall due to Aft C of G. High Bank Angle with insufficient power. Suggest reading about Aerodynamics and the Effect on Aircraft.
Yes you are correct, but the CG did feel fine! I appreciate you taking the time to watch
Bummer dude!! Been there, Done that tho!! Check our my Maiden 90mm F22 EPIC CRASH BRO!!
Sucks man. :(
This plane has been a pain in you’re butt, nice looking model but not worth the headache!! Maybe fix maybe not lol!! 👍🏼
Man, It really has been lol! No fix!! haha
That's a bummer dude. It sux when it's a hassle right out of the box. it's like ur almost guaranteed to crash and have to buy spare parts right from the get go which has been my curse for a few birds lol!!!
lol!! Thanks man!
Sorry to see that happened to you.
It is okay, Thank you!
Holy suffering hat to see that crash
Sucks, but its okay man!! Not sure what to get next though lol
Ouch!
Thanks man!
1900kv 8s that’s crazy usually 8s you run a lower kv like a 1390kv
...it sounded like a 50, max. 64 mm.
sorry bro your right I was mistaken on the Kv, it is the 1390 KV!
@@hamiltonshangar should of flow better that’s a nice power system I’m glad I didn’t buy that F-100 I had been eyeing it for about a month but ended up getting HSD F-86
Hey man sorry to see that go down like that! I have had my fair share. Lol. I saw the L39 video and it sort of looks like the flex went down in the same area that the L39 did. You may have a dead spot right in that particular area of that field. Looks like it’s a school or something like that and there may be a lot of interference there especially in that area where you make your first right turn. The L39 and the Flex both looked like they spun left and drilled in right as you was finishing the first right turn. I’m only saying this cause we have a spot similar to that at my field and almost every time anyone flies over that way their plane literally does exactly what both of yours did. I lost one myself like that. It totally sucks cause these things are just a lot of money and time and stuff like that and to lose it cause if a dead spot in the sky just blows. Anyhow not telling you that’s exactly what’s going on but from my experience that is what it looks like to the “T”. Just look into it is all I’m saying. I’m subscribed to your channel and love the content. You guys are great! Many more happy flights I hope! Can’t give up just gotta keep on going. That’s exactly what I do it gets better and better. Thanks again! Fred
Thank you!
Ouch Classic accelerated stall being tail heavy doesn’t help
For sure bro loll thank you for checking it out. Your making me want that sirius
@@hamiltonshangar you definitely need one it’s badass
Two Words of advice before you fly!
Range Check
MAYDAY! MAYDAY! I'M GOING DOWN! Too bad we can't build in an automatic ejecting pilot figure, for when things like this happen. It sucks to see such a beautiful bird crash, but it's all part of the hobby.
Lol! Thanks man!
Dammit!!!
It happens lol!
Sorry Che! Never nice to have a aircraft go in! Hope this doesn’t effect your Mojo! Get on those sticks again soon mate!
Thanks Mickey! Definitely not affecting the mojo!! Cheers!
Ugh.... sorry it went that way with this one...
Thanks bro!!
Oh no! Sorry Che !
Its cool man thank you!
Cg is critical.Tail heavy it's over.
Yes indeed! Thank you for watching
They need more that a like/dislike button. We need the OMG Button. I say this because I feel bad hitting the like, when I hate seeing this crash.
That sucks, sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you. This plane seems to have been problematic for you. Definitely tsil heavy. Nate was right. Onward to bigger and bettef things!
I know that's right!! Thanks man!
I called Flex innovations on this, I own two of their jets, which have flown flawlessly since I've owned them.
Firstly, you increased the battery weight by 33%, over their recommendations, secondly, you have already crashed it once and rebuilt it. You should have changed out critical servos to accommodate what you are doing,in respect to weight change and style of flying.
Now you crashed it again and don't suggest anyone buys it....really? You've changed the cg, no range check and hogged it off of the runway. Incomplete review and biased, I suggest no one trust your reviews. I have seen a few of your reviews and feel that you don't carry the seal of credibility
Ach menno.
Typical
I'm working on an F-100D for DCS World so I know the struggle.
