- Extra 300 knife-edge crash accident by Lou Cosme. I remember turning my ailerons stick but the plane did not respond to roll level the wings. I was using a new remote. There were a lot of things in my inexperience that contributed to this outcome.
We've all been there. Bummer, man. I like your positive attitude and the fact that your wife got you another one also is a huge bonus! Buy her some flowers or something.
Dang, bad luck. But, hey, some glue and you are back in business. That plane is easily repairable. Understanding Wife, priceless!
I got this exact plane and I hate it…. Flies like a rock with wings.
I built the new one; same model; and I've been flying it for about a month now. The more I fly it the more I'm getting used to its characteristics. I'm having fun flying it, but I am going to re-do the elevator link this weekend to get more throw for better 3D performance, because the way the manual has the setup it doesn't cut it for 3D. Even in high rates. Its better at aerobatics. More down throw on the elevator should get me to perform the maneuvers I can do with my other planes. I hope! Good luck! Happy Flying!
Too much fun, Lou,
Low rates get us every time.... ONE setting
It happens to everyone of us brother. That 300 is one of my favorite planes.
You hit hard at almost full throttle!. I dusted a jet a couple of weeks ago. :(
Hey I'll bet your new 300 will fly perfect out of the box
Damn sorry to hear about your jet. My new 300 is flying beautiful! I love it! I did put the 2oz up front right from the box. I have some videos of it that I’ll be putting up next week. Good luck, fun flying!
@@LouCosmeRC-ov2ol thanks Lou! It's been 15-20 mph winds for a couple of damn weeks here. I'm dying to get some flying in.
@@HciContractor The winds don’t seem to want to tame down this year! We get a few ok days far in between. Happy flying!
All part of the hobby as we know brother. You’re wife’s a keeper for sure. I like your analytical approach too, I can relate. How do you add lead in terms of amount and what do you use? Not coins right? Thanks, happy flying 🇨🇦👍✈️
So sorry to see that Lou. It was flying really well.
It is a good flying plane once set up right sorry about the crash adding nose weight does help one of the fliers at my field and to add weight up front to handle better good video glad the wife got you another one now you have a beater plane and a fun flyer 😊😊😊👍👍👍
Oh No! Bummer dude. Pretty plane.
She still has a pulse. Get me a multi tool, a bottle of ca, and some packing tape stat!
😂👍🏼
You held a knife edge, went low on the downwind, didn't increase rudder authority to hold the knife on the downwind, got last minute confused where to roll out for recovery.
That sure does sound pretty accurate! 😂
@@Cosme422 I've been flying 3D for over 15 years, by eye I can tell where the sticks are twitching when a panic occurs just by looking how the plane is being flown and maneuver orientation. lol
Did the pilot realise it was a belly-to-pilot knife edge when he applied the (wrong way) roll-out? Being a bit too far away and hedge, not sky, in the background didn't help. My wife cried when I took a chunk of wing off on a football goalpost on my first landing with my first own-design plane. We've both got good wives!
Low rates and this bird never ends up well. Sorry for your loss, Unlike some people I believe in remaidens and sometimes it takes a bit of tinkering to get a RC plane sweet. My rule is that if the parts required to repair a crash is more than 50% of cost of a new one I scrape the plane and buy either a different plane or another of the same plane. Only exception to my rule is my Draco 2.0m which was only slightly more than 50% because I have 250+ flights on it.
It happens, most of the time when the new plane is flying good, my co rc guys do it all the time, I always say when you get it flying take it easy for a few flights, but we all know how that goes.
opps went bum
Well, they're only new once.
I lost one today. Not pilot error. But it was a pretty new plane. And I was expecting to get a couple of years of fun out of it.
Sorry to hear you lost an airplane today yourself. I just uploaded a video of the new plane. Same model but new. So far is flying really good. Been flying it for a few weeks now. I'm getting used to it and I can't seem to stop flying it. Having fun with it. Hope you can get yours fixed. Good luck and fun flying.
3:15 Sounds, of a Not so sponsored video.....lol...Sorry bud
Jus sum glue
e6000
A plane's airframe gets 1 maiden; ever. There is no re-maiden.... "official maiden" or any other kind.
Low rates and a nose heavy cg are no good with a 3d plane
WOW!! Has your wife got a sister? I would like to meet her!🙂
😂😂
Awful, I empathise. Got 100g up front on mine, that's 3.5oz , flies great but I'm scared of it
Scared because it flies like a rock with wings…. Right ?
@DavidRitchie-tr2rn bullet shape rock, on 50% rate and 50% expo, keep switching up to 75% rates - but not for long. Can't blink while flying it, I'll lose it :-(
ill take the remains if you dont want them lou lol, its eamon btw
It'll buff out
😂😂😂
It is foam, if you would be willing to spend required amount of time with the right type of glue you could make it flying again. I would use Titebond polyurethane glue like . But not everyone has that privilege to spend hours fixing from the scraps.
You’re right. I have so much work to do over the summer that I’ve pushed out the repair attempt to the winter months.
Probably your Spekjunk transmitter
Pipe down becky. Has nothing to do with the transmitter
Please get rid of that radio. trust me it`s junk.
He flew it into the ground..don't blame the radio....his angle on his knife edge was downhill all the way..he flubbed up..obviously he is a great pilot..stuff happens.....I've used HIS Brand TRANSMITTER for 20 years..never lost radio signal...trust me !!!
