- Welcome to Fat Guy Flies Rc!!
This is the maiden and resulting CRASHES??? of my FMS Typhoon 1.1 m.
Running a 3200 3s Spektrum Smart Lipo in her , not using the battery tray. The CG was better that way.
I believe this crash was me using a faulty receiver that I had reprogramed from and older model.
Damage was bent retract, crunched nose, broken prop, spinner, and maybe a bent shaft (lets hope not)
Any how Thanks for watching my antics, Please like and subscribe!
Phew... my heart jumped into my mouth....thank goodness for long grass....wonderful sky to fly in...
You and me both! The grass reached up and just held her in place the FIRST time. Now If only I had taken my advice and stopped there but NOOOO I just had to try again!!
I have 1 of these. I had about a dozen flights under my belt and was getting used to flying it with the stabilizer switched on to compensate for turbulence etc. Then I didn't fly anything for about 2 months. I took this out when I was rusty after my absence. I was flying with the gyro turned off ( didn't realise ) .I was about to fly over my shoulder so I pulled a very tight banking turned , probably eased off the throttle a lot and so lost lots of airspeed. Mine did what yours did , spiralled into the ground very hard and broke the fuselage badly and smashed the prop and spinner. As you say lots of steam and glue and she is ready to go again. Has a few scares now that spoil those beautiful looks.
I regret selling this plane and hope to get her again someday.
What a bummer, definitely a receiver issue....My P-39 just crashed hard, pilot error..It sucks.....Thumbs up on the video 👍👍👍👍👍
I will get her up again. I swear!! Sorry about your P39.
You are one lucky man to have crashed that thing twice and not destroy it 😊 I agree with some kind of receiver problem
Thanks I just wish I had stopped after the FIRST crash...lol!
Nice maiden , to bad off the 2 crashes but at least its stil flying 😀 hope you find the problem . It looks a reciever issue
In the past I flown Fpv also with spektrum and also have issue with range
So i bought the taranis tx problem solved
I sold all my Rc stuff 2 a 3 years ago
Now I started the Rc stuff again and I bought the Eflite F15 with the AS3x reciever
Then you need a spektrum Tx
I have the dx6i 😅 hope it wont give me range problems
Anyway Good flying and up to the best remaiden of the year !!! 👍👍
Thanks so much. Understand I was not saying that this was the receivers fault, but my placement or my reprogramming of a Spektrum receiver . This plane "THINKS" its a Eflite Spitfire 1.2m. I am just not to sure I got it right. This is what happens when you rush things because you so excited about flying. I dont blame my equipment . I blame MY application and usage of my equipment. More testing clearly needed , not just a 45 foot electronic range test.
I've watched the video three times now and to me it looks like you bank it too much for the speed you're carrying and it stalls causing it to fall out of the sky. It is so easy to do when you're not familiar with the model. I did it when I maidened my Corsair (it survived the crash) I did it again on the third flight but I had more altitude so I managed to level out at 15' above ground.
I agree with you completely. After a new spinner , prop and some TLC she has taken to the sky's again , Here: th-cam.com/video/OPdbEXzLldo/w-d-xo.html I have gotten better with my warbirds since this remaiden.
Everybody is human my friend. Hope you work everything out. I’ve got a lot of reciver installations myself to do👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻
I hope so too. Yeah I am afraid of the tear down I am hoping the motor shaft is not bent.
Man, the sudden gust of gravity! That sucks to happen, my condolences
Well I fixed her up and she flies fine now. Thanks for the visit. Yeah that gravity jumps out of nowhere! Cool butcher bird on your front page!
@@FatGuyFliesRC thx so much! Happy flying!
@@FatGuyFliesRCooooohhh I also got the AT-6 1.5M
I made a video on mine and That happen to me , the exact same way . I think I stalled it . these planes have to be flown with more than half throttle . and how did you get rid of the wrinkles on the plane ?
Yeah it needs speed to keep it going stable. As far as the wrinkles I use a heat gun at range and let the hot air kiss the foam. The foam returns to its original form but then the gatoring is bad. Its a fine touch with the hot air to get the foam to expand back but not too much heat then you melt the foam.
Rule number 1 I've learnt in rc flying is do not use Spektrum.
Well all the systems have flaws just Spektrum costs more.
Oh S*%# indeed...same side I thought the first was a tip stall but looking at it now you had loads of speed. We all do it, ..not listen to that inner self, she does not look too bad...good luck with rebuild.
Yeah the rebuild will fun too. Gonna go through her with a fine tooth comb and really asses the damage and reorder any parts I cant fix. At the very least a new spinner and prop. I think I can repair the retract. I just hope the motor shaft is not bent, never have replaced one of them. Thanks for watching. I was thinking, ( and I was right) you would be one of the first to watch and comment. I am encouraged by you channel and I thank you.
@@FatGuyFliesRC Thanks very much - finger grossed and please do keep us updated on the rebuild ..
Bummer BRO. Like you said it happens. Usually to me but it happens. 👍😎✌
But on another note It seems like its flying a little tail heavy.
Tell me about it But at least your channel is correctly named!!!!!
I kinda thought that but the CG was good and she balanced on the stand ok so on rebuild depending on how much repair material is added I may slip a little nose weight in. There is next to no room for battery movement.
Sure looks like rx, you were very lucky considering, when you said you had to drive to fetch her I thought you were going in the little golf buggy 😁
I trying to find the CG I’m doing what the manual says but it’s still tail heavy did you have to add weight to the nose to get the CG correct?
No, I ripped out the the battery tray and run a 3300 all the way down that slope. Velcro for securing.
@@FatGuyFliesRC and was the CG range was at 45mm from the leading edge?
What is difference in battery weight no way mine is balanced at 45 with 2200 going to have to add weight on nose
I don't know how you do it. Me I buy 2 at a time so one is always pristine, and the crash is spares.
LOL I need to start...
Something is up with this model. I had problems with mine
That may be, but I am very stubborn. I will get her flying right one way or the other!
sure seems like a loss of signal from the way it went in. Was flying too smooth for anything else. At least it seems pretty sturdy! I am thinking of getting this one.
Yes it was. Let me use the answer I gave to another viewer. I am not sure this was a problem with the receiver or my placement and reprogramming job. To be honest I am just about ready to only put the strong ar620 in planes that are PNP from now on. No real placement issues and strong range. Not Gyro but I am getting to were I don't care about that anymore either.
And you should get this bird, great build and very sturdy (proof of my 2 crashes...lol) I abandinded the battery tray and put a bigger than battery called for in the downward sloping battery area.
Randy I subded to you. Can I get you to sub to me also and Thanks !
Hope you find out the problem. have a good one...
Gotta take her apart and try to iron it out. Thanks for watching!
Too bad.. i have had problems with both Admiral and Lemon. Totaled 2 planes with those.. Never spektrum!
I am not sure this was a problem with the receiver or my placement and reprogramming job. To be honest I am just about ready to only put the strong ar620 in planes that are PNP from now on.

@@FatGuyFliesRC I think they cant handle the servo load and brown out. I removed and replaced from 6 planes all my admiral and lemon and switched them all to AR620's !
All i use now..
What flight times are you getting with the 3200? I get 8 mins with the 2200 but would like longer flights
Is it possible to get another 5 mins with the 3200?
Well that's the problem , I set my timer to 5min even though I am sure I could fly much longer. Reason I do this is, I film and post all my flights and try to keep the flights shorter to keep peoples interest in the flight up . Too long a flight and people start skipping thru the vid to often and it become boring for them. Another benefit is, more often than not ,shorter flight time brings back the lipo at about 40 to 50% left which is where i like to store my lipos at. But to try to help you out , remove the battery tray and put in a velcro strip. plant that 3200 all the way down that sloped compartment and she will balance spot on. I would bet you could get a solid 10 minutes of flight with throttle management. But rune her for 5min at first land and check and them make a judgement call on how much longer. Never let that lipo get below 14% or 3 volts per cell. It could kill the lipo.
Check your battery level in your radio , low battery can cause this very issue ask how I know😪
Could have been , but I have long since repaired and sold this plane. Thanks however.
Well whats the results from the autopsy ?
Going to perform that soon, got a couple projects ahead of it.
Was it the new AR630????
No and older AR36a.
I really like the new AR630 and easy to program.
No an old AR36A.
Full range RX?
Yes but I think my reprogramming job and placement was an issue. I is a ar63a out of a old Eflite plane.
Also I subded hoping you had some of your hobbies uploaded!!
Where do u fly? I need a place to fly
This field is in Avon Park Florida. Its The Avon Park Aero modelers Association. Its located on the old county landfill. FYI I subded to you in hope you will post some flight videos. Please sub back if you have not done so already.
@@FatGuyFliesRC thank you so much I just subbed
@@FatGuyFliesRC how do you turn down the power to make it easier to fly
@@slime2o77 You program in dual rates and expo. Here is a link to one of my videos that talks about that:th-cam.com/video/K32fnN0pPv8/w-d-xo.html
@@FatGuyFliesRC thank you
Hopefully no bent shaft
Me too, new motor is fifty bucks......
Too slow. Snapped out from pulling elevator in the turn. Check to make sure it is not a little tail heavy. I would not use flaps, certainly not on the first flights. They just slow the model down faster causing a tip stall to happen quicker.
yep that is exactly what happened! Thanks for watching!
