Freewing F-14 twin 64mm almost crashed during noseheavy maiden flight, great save by the pilot!

Here's a maiden flight of the Freewing F-14 twin 64mm EDF jet, flown during the Wey EDF meeting in Germany on June 8, 2024.
Despite following all instructions and info from the manual, the plane was extremely nose heavy and bumped twice to the ground again during take-off.
Great save by pilot Frank K and a good landing despite the fact that the whole uptrim range was needed!

[@timmybeetle]

well the landing gear seems to hold up, so thats a good thing to see😁

Yeah for a twin 64mm EDF it has a strong landing gear!

I also own the same aircraft. It is a difficult aircraft because the CG is very severe and it bounces when landing.

Thanks. I will inform the pilot with your findings 👍 Greetings from Belgium 🍻
