Beautiful model by arrows. I hate that grandpa Gary I know that’s a sinking feeling for that to happen whether it be a maiden or it be the 50th flight on one. I’m sure you’ll like it. Great again you take care brother.
Plenty of runway. What got you was the tendency us rc pilots have of landing right in front of ourselves instead of at the beginning of the runway. If I'm in doubt, I'll go to the end of the runway to takeoff, stay there for the flight, then when I land right in front of myself, like we tend to do, I've got the whole runway to roll out on. Live and learn, time to get out the glue. Can't wait to see it back in the air. Keep em flying!
You did great Gary! Flying that jet there left little margin for error and that snow got in the way of a better approach. Glue and TLC will get that amazing sounding EDF Jet back in the air soon 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Also... love your brutal honesty and complete lack of hubris... We need more like you... This hobby is challenging for sure and we are all at different stages! I will be buying one based on this vid!
i saw you fly this after you repaired it! I didn’t see this video, until now. But I have a better appreciation now for the work you did to repair it! nice job 👍
Gary you had a great flight and that hesitation at the end got ya. I think you know you're a good pilot so don't let this get you down. Thanks for sharing what you do each day with all of us. Hopefully the damage is not to bad and you will have it in the air soon.
You made the right call to try and go around for another landing in my opinion, just got unlucky that it didn't clear the snow!! Don't get discouraged. You can fix it up and have it back in the air with just a little work!
Awesome plane and flight Gary! I'm amazed with the Eflight F-15 how it floats, and how much it can slow down in the air. I usually move closest to the side of the runway where I want to touch down. It gives me the perspective I need so I don't land long..... (I have a 4' fence at the end of my runway) Love what you do and always enjoy your enthusiasm and positive spirit! Can't wait to see you fly that beauty again soon!
Thanks Jack! I truly love this hobby. It bonds me with the memory of my father. I'm doing things now that we used to think wasn't possible for us (Jets, gas power, youtube). 👊✈😃👍
@@IJustGotHere oh and on a side note…..I just crashed my Conscendo Evolution yesterday. Lol. Took a nose dive and broke the front compartment off…but all wires/ESC/receiver are ok. Pretty sure glue and some support rods will fix it.
Man your a good sport bro 👍 we all been there , and if someone say they hadn't than they never flew a jet bro big or little . Well foam is and can be very forgivable . I get another fuselage just just to keep the damage on for repair parts . Hopefully the landing gear servo retract spinbar and little things inside the retract is good , hope to see it back up soon 👍 OH I like that remote glove man do it keep the remote warm because I know the screen fuzzy up from the cold and it's hard to see things on the remote when the screen gets cold.
Nice flight, you had that landing but it’s tough to judge sometimes. All that snow does act like a giant reflector all around you. Great job glad to see you take it so well. I tell all interested in learning, you must be able to take a good shot in the nuts here and there. If your not willing , this hobby if not for them. Good luck on your next one
Gramps I feel so bad for you I know how long you waited for that jet you have such a kind and gentle face I'm a beginner pilot and I know how would feel if that happened to me I am saving up for the habu jet I currently have a arero air plane I'm really sorry for your loss you will have it back in the air shortly god bless you gramps
Great flying Gary, what I personally think they should really add some break in these fast speed jets at least so we don't need like super long runway land
Grampa Gary I LOVE your flying even when you clip the snow with the landing gear. We had sunshine in CA and no wind so we flew the Holy Stone and the Bugs 2 drones'
I agree with motodisney. A video about the damage and what you do to repair it would be cool. So sorry this happened but it's good to know even the great pilots crash!
So sorry to see this happen Gary! I know you'll get her put back together and have a perfect second flight, like always I'll be watching!! 2 thumbs up. Marty from Canada 🇨🇦🛩🛩
I feel ya, maidened my Micro Tundra this week and while it didn't break I had some really bad flights. Yours costs way more, but stay positive, we live and learn.
Man I hate seeing that especially on a maiden. That is one gorgeous bird though. Love the way she sounds. Wished you would do a 'how to vid' on the AR637T the way you forward programmed the SAFE part. I'm still kinda new and enjoy the technology of SAFE and use it quite a bit. I'm looking to get this jet and of coarse I do not want to chance it w/out SAFE. Good luck getting her back together and look forward to seeing many more flights on it. Beautiful jet Sir !!!
Awesome job! Looked like it flies on rails. That feeling when you crash a new plane is never good. Sorry gray. Get it back together and in the air. Can’t wait to see it up again! As always love watching you fly!
How about an arresting net at the end of the runway? Get a net with openings big enough for the nose to fit into Are you able to reverse the fans once you touch down? There has to be a device to reverse a three phase motor.
My local park is way too short for jets like that too. It's a beauty though. Sorry for your loss mate. Get her fixed up and flying again soon. 👍 Loved your low passes.
Thanks! Luckily there was no serious damage to the airframe/ structure. I have new main landing gear on the way. One of the retracts was damaged and the other had damage too the knuckle. Should be back in the air by next week.
You should have been able to clear that berm at that speed... the exact reason i will stick with my freewing F15.. full functional stabs create more lift.. easier to stall the reason most companies go with elevators..
Hey Grandpa Gary. Really nice plane that was flying well. The sound is really amazing. I hope the pilot ejected in time when his pucker factor kicked in. Lol. Good luck. Hope there isn’t too much damage. I say you on the Saylors channel. You must live fairly close to them.
I hurts when you happen to have a crash on the first flight sorry to see that hopefully you get it fixed up and back up in the air again -have a good rest of the evening
That’s a small runway for any of us flying jets. I think it’s time to accept the cross winds and switch up that runway to the much longer side for your jets. At our field here in Charlotte NC, they built our runway East to West so we have a cross wind one way or another 90% of the time so it’s definitely something we deal with every time we fly. Rudder!
Bummer Gary. You had a bad feeling about that snow. And look. It bit ya. I think if you weren't in safe mode you could have pulled it off. Your a great pilot. Loose the safe. It's making you crash. Great flying though and amazing sounds. Fix her up and redeem yourself brother. 👍👍😎✌✌
Last thing any of us wanted to see. Chin up Gary, now you know she flies great, just give her a longer runway for some wiggle room on landings and take offs too. You will have her better than new in no time I'm sure.
Dang, sorry to see that Gary. Hope it’s not too bad. I flew my umx habu s today and also almost ran out of runway for the take off. Jets need lots of room 😢
Of the nearly 36,000 airports around the world that are classified as civil, military, or joint-use, approximately 3,800 are used for scheduled commercial service. Worldwide, an estimated 2,000 aircraft arresting systems are installed at facilities in 64 countries. The highest concentration of these systems is on military runways or where the military is a major tenant of a commercial airport. Commercial operators mainly encounter these systems at joint commercial-military airports or when operating charters to military airfields. If the nosegear spray and gravel deflectors used on some commercial airplanes come in contact with the arresting systems, the deflectors could shatter, creating foreign object debris (FOD). In extreme cases, the FOD could damage a critical airplane system.
Hey GG, you're right that she sounds great. It sucks to crash on the maiden flight. I thought the maiden flight was only going to be about 5 seconds when you nearly crashed into the snow bank. Hopefully readily and easy fix.
Oh wow sorry this happened again to you. Those jets seem 😳 like a scary and not so easy thing to fly. I just got my first edf a umx citation but I am still little nervous to get out there and fly it a bit. That plane is awesome though and sounds amazing!
What programming did you use for your transmitter? Good flight though, the area for landing was extremely tight. Much like the F-18 I was afraid it was going to have some serious roll out since it has to come in underpower to not stall in the flair. Good Job though.
It sounded AMAZING… I was really hoping it would have made it… did you ever get it repaired ? Thanks for sharing. As well did you get your surgery and are things going well?
I agree! It sounds so good. I have done repairs, and it flies great. I've had one eye surgery. There is an issue, and it may require corrective surgery. The other eye is scheduled for next week. 😀👍
Oh My God, Gary!!!! You had less than a 1/4 runway left why would you even attempt a touch and go... and did you have full flaps down! Oh man, such a pretty bird. Hope it's salvageable! :-(
Used primarily by aircraft built in the United States and Europe, arresting cables have been used by the military since the late 1920s on aircraft carriers and for land-based runways.
I would never put a spektrum AS3X receiver on a PNP airplane. AS3X receives work of aircraft specific program software. They are typically not universal. I would put a universal platform in my pnp planes like a lemon scrub plus receiver... designed to be put into any airplane and the level can be re-set with a switch position anytime. They are much cheaper and easy to set up.
Hang in there buddy. Sorry you crashed, but there is tons of glue to be had, as well as replacement parts. You'll have her looking and flying spiffy in no time!!!
I feel for you my friend! I was having a blast with my 3 day old ultrix today, BUT I got confident, being inverted, a foot off the soccer field, & did an under power cartwheel! Broke the front nose. Thank goodness for foam safe CA! Like YOU, a touch of glue, & back n the air tomorrow! Better to be THIS 1, instead of my brand new timber x 3d. (Green version).
Lolol first came in too hot second flyng in a small area, could of went further out and try to land it but it's a small area for taking off and landing ouch for sure
Gary, you are a cool customer my friend! You see what someone is made of when stuff like that happens. A good example for sure.
Beautiful aircraft. What a bummer. But things happen. At least you have a great attitude. I'm confident she'll be fixed and flying again . 👍🙏😃
Beautiful model by arrows. I hate that grandpa Gary I know that’s a sinking feeling for that to happen whether it be a maiden or it be the 50th flight on one. I’m sure you’ll like it. Great again you take care brother.

Sorry to see it go down. Great looking bird. Sure we will see you fly it again soon.
That's how you learn breaking it and put it back together I learned that with my RC cars but it was a great thing to see I might get one
My New parts will be here next Tuesday.

Hi Gary! That F-15 will be back in the skies very soon! Thanks for sharing all your flying experiences so everyone can also learn from them. :)
Gary, that f15 looks really nice! At half throttle its still screaming! Yep i want one!😃😝💯
Ok that really sucks, but also really satisfying to see that snow bank get crushed!! Killin it Gary! Thanks for sharing
Thanks! I absolutely love this jet. Might be my 2nd favorite of my fleet and best of fighter jets.
I really enjoy your videos, Gary. You are “one of us”. The highs and the lows of this hobby. Hiding nothing. You’re a good guy.

It happens Gary. Landings are tough sometimes with our fast EDF JETS
Thanks Seth! I learned my lesson. I won't maiden Jets in this small parking lot any more. This F15 is incredible.

You took it well, I'm sure you repaired and flew it again..
Great flight Gary. Great thing about foamies is you can rebuild over and over. Cant wait for the redemption flight.
Love the videos... so sorry about the plane. Better luck next time!
Sorry bout that...great plane...thanks for keeping it real.
Man that was close. Wow. Nice flying, so sorry to see that ending. You'll get her fixed in no time
My, my that plane sounds great. Looks likes load of fun. In the movies the plane would have just cleared the snowbank again :)
Sounds awesome and flying great thanks for sharing
I feel like this crash might be a first of its kind. Bravo!

Dam snow, always gets the best of them. Let hope you can fix her. Was a great flight till then👍🏻

Glad that you fixed it. That is part of the fun too. We use to build them slowly , fly them and fix them if they crashed.
Also you proved she will do 4 min on a 4000! Well done.

There are arresting cables at the end of runways for F-16s just in case of brake failure.
Are there ball bearings in the wheels?
I guess the cables just snag the gear since the F16 doesn't have an arresting hook?
Watching a year later being the greenhorn that I am 😆
Sorry Gary - Hope repairs go smoothly.
Have you done a damage assessment yet?
Fix and repeat, without the crashing part. 😂 We’ve all been there.
Paint scheme makes this plane disappear in a blue sky.

Hate that... Jets just need a lot of runway. Usually more that I have.
Ouch.
