RC Afternoon March 2010 with NItro SuperDecathalon and Parkzone ME109 Crash

[Ponchovillla14]

the pilot ejected lol but that sucks that he crashed the plane thinking about buying the me109 i love to control the landing gears were you can have them out if you want to or you can hide them when flying at the same time so cool

[lexale]

però.... quel 109 parkzone,aveva già preso più colpi lui della pentolaccia!!!! ahahah!!

[flyboyfx]

That deadly spiral is the scariest thing a RC pilot can face. lol.

I have only done one so far. It totaled my plane though, :(

[warderseeker]

@flyboyfx ya, just gotta resist the urge to try and pull out of it, and let it gain some airspeed first

[asdko11]

nice fly 

[Aircraftfreak155]

might just buy a ne body and go from there i have a size .10 brusles i could through on it.

[warderseeker]

@Aircraftfreak155 hmm...don't know if that 10 will work. Probably a very low KV and the stock motor for the stryker is 1800kv. Need at least that, and a motor that can take 40 amps or more, same with the esc.

20 bucks is just a bare body, no fins, hatches, servos motor mount etc. when you crash you can move all that stuff over, but the first one you might as well just get a stock one to start

[Aircraftfreak155]

@warderseeker what would you recomend and are you guys using brushless inrunners on the strykers?

[warderseeker]

@Aircraftfreak155 really should get a stock one first, then when you've had good flights with thtat, and crashed it a few times, you can get the align motor for it, and a new esc.

The align is a 3700kv motor they use for helis, a 6X4 sport apc prop,. and you'll need a 54 or 60amp esc to power it . Any less of an esc and you'll burn out the esc. Also you need to use 25C or higher 3cells to use that combo.

[Aircraftfreak155]

@warderseeker ok ill keep that in mind i have 3 30c 3s 2200 mha batts i can use.

[Aircraftfreak155]

nice flying with the habu you think that it would be a good frist jet?

[warderseeker]

@Aircraftfreak155 Habu would be an awesome first jet. I'd maybe want to have some Stryker or some other type of pusher stick time under my belt, but it's pretty forgiving. It can also be very fast and agile too if you let it get away from you

[Aircraftfreak155]

@warderseeker i do have time on a rc foam fighter f-117 build i did my self its a fun plane to fly look on my vids its the only one i have up at the time.

[warderseeker]

@Aircraftfreak155 I saw that you had that. It will help a bit, but the foam fighter plane is very light and wont fly a lot like the Habu really. I"d probably still get a Stryker, as they are such a great flyilng plane as well, and easy to fix. New body costs 22 bucks LOL

[dman932]

the super decathon guy should not have put in full elavator when he first stalled it he shud have let it dive and pick up speed and pull up l8r andhave full throttle on the way down and he wud have been alright.... def not an expert flyer

[warderseeker]

@dman932 that's right. But even when people know that, it's hard to train yourself to do that , when it heading straight towards the ground. 

[MegaFondue]

what do u think is the best electric rc plane??

[warderseeker]

@MegaFondue overall best electric plane period?? Hard to say. Best trainer is a Supercub, best EDF has to be the Habu, best 48" 3D plane, probably the Precision Aerobatics Extra 260. I've flown all of these and they definately have been good flyers

[MegaFondue]

@warderseeker

thx for the reply

i guess i ll stick to my pz corsair^^

[warderseeker]

@MegaFondue Corsair's a great flying plane. You can put a power 15 in it for some crazy speed and vertical, guys have done that lots

[scmbyhbk]

1:32 what happened to the wings?

[warderseeker]

@scmbyhbk on what plane?

[scmbyhbk]

@warderseeker #

the me 109

[warderseeker]

@scmbyhbk rookies plane, been in a few crashes. It is NOT a beginner plane at all

[scmbyhbk]

@warderseeker

i know. i got the same one. but its very nice

[stormin69]

That's a nice alum hatch cover on that stryker! Nice craftsmanship! Also Dave did a nice job on those retracts on the BF 109...to bad about the landing! What caused the super D to go down? Too bad...looked like a nice plane!

[warderseeker]

@stormin69 SuperD just hit too much elevator once it was already stalled, too bad, always sucks

[rcplanetim53]

ps... the guy that jumps when he launches hes stryker... better watch him... or... watch out for him!!.. take care...

[warderseeker]

@rcplanetim53 ya we gotta watch him for sure, the terrorist LOL

[rcplanetim53]

well since i subscribe to your videos and im on youtube.. your videos keep popping up.. and i keep loving them!! and once again you guys fly pretty good up there (for crashing so much!!haha).. you know.. i dont think ive ever rated one of your videos under 5.. ill let you know if you ever turn out a 4 (hahaha!!)

[warderseeker]

@rcplanetim53 thanks a lot Tim. It's pretty cool how many guys are coming out to our field lately too, think they're coming out to be put on film LOL

[Rogue1031]

uh, that Super D wreck made me sick... feel so bad for him...

[slyfoxflyer66]

I feel the same theres no way he can fix it too, it was such a beautiful plane

[warderseeker]

@slyfoxflyer66 That sucks, no chance or what? Everything should be fixable, just might not look as pretty

[Rogue1031]

dude, sick skills!!!

[warderseeker]

@Rogue1031 thanks man, got some great flyers out at the field at times

[hamburgrd]

I can't get enough of your vids. Great flying and fantastic camera work.

[warderseeker]

Thanks a lot, new video up, two Habu doing formation practice. Want to get a few of these together doing this

[tjtg]

Damn. I am a fan of the Decathlon, Citavrias etc. Unfortunate to see that go in, but I could see it coming (same as you). Once you have done this you realise how to get out of it and hopefully never do it again - airspeed is king.

[warderseeker]

@tjtg ya too bad about the Dec, but should fly again. You can see the rudder hard over to roll him, and then all the elevator all the way down, too bad. Done it with the turbine couple times now too, just level the wings, no elevator

[tw8e60]

Really cool video, lots of stuff happening... Really sorry for the Decathlon, beautiful plane, to bad... but when you panic, usually that's what you do... up elevator.

What happened to the ME109? It seems it also stalled?

The habu inverted was really cool, the wings were rocking like it was about to stall, it takes skills ;-)

[warderseeker]

@tw8e60 thanks a lot, Habu just not meant for that type of harrier stuff LOL but keeping it from stalling not that bad. The 109 it just had so much damage from before, not flying well, then the wheel hit that grass and that's it

[rockonmyfriend]

if coming from something such as the e-flite brio 10, can i take sopmething like the habu?

[warderseeker]

@rockonmyfriend little hard to say, I seen you takeoff with the trainer, that seemed decent. As long as you didn't turn it too slow, or try too much speed, you'd be ok. But it will stall at low speeds in corners, and will go close to 100mph. Try some of the EDF's on sims if you can first, and a Stryker would be the best training ever for one. Get a Stryker anyways, they are the best

[rockonmyfriend]

its been awhile since i made that video

ive beendoing well until the battery failed and i hit a fence in full throttle

its pretty scary having no control of your aircraft....

oh well ive guven up on that and im switching to the brio

[BigMeanyVids]

What's great about Stryker's is you can buy the complete foam kit from a Hobbystore for maybe $60 and then put your own gear on them. Low investment so I agree this is a good way to go.

[IEATSRT]

Yikes.. couple bad ones there. Man the 109 in slow mo sure has some wing flex... never noticed that much before. Just a bit of a stall and landing too steep for the 109?

[warderseeker]

that 109 wing had been damaged before, or by the retract installs, the cf tube was in the way. but it wasn't holding properly, sorta was bent up in flight big time LOL Ya the landing was probably steep cuz the wing was so bad, and the wheel hit that grass first, + power 25 motor= OOPS

[nishbrown]

Oh no! A shame to lose a plane to a savable stall.

"Let go!" - me watching that crash.

BTW, is that someone standing in the background @1:52??

[warderseeker]

Ya it's tough to let it go faster towards the ground when it does that, have to really train yourself lol

Ya some dimwit watching the planes from the end of the field. That field is also the way to a river trail behind the park .

[startazz]

I really like this vid mate and the HABU inverted then goes into a knife edge(2.06) that was poetry in motion in my book,did that bf-109g wings look like they were bending up big time before it had its prang?? but i suppose it could of been because of the foam cut out for the retracts,oh yeah one more thing was that bigfoot in the back ground at 1.52 lol 5*

[warderseeker]

@startazz It was BIGFOOT LOL no just another park user, there are trails down behind the bluff we fly on. The 109 wing was actually busted from before, but we think the fix gave way during the flight too, so it was up at an angle haha no wonder he had problems bringing her in

[beverke7]

good thing the ME and Decatlon can be fixed again. Love the Habu part a lot, this baby flies slow really well, also nice knife edges, definitely on my wishlist.

[warderseeker]

@beverke7 ya they're both salvageable. Was flying formation with another Habu tonight, hopefully posting that footage tonight late lol

[steffenl]

Yeah, that knife edge slomo of the Habu rocks! :D

[warderseeker]

@steffenl thanks a lot, check out the other Habu vids, some great clips. Streamers, smoke, and some formation clips too

[moolikeacow2]

Very nice! That Habu flies very well at slow speeds. Ouch on the ME and the Decathlon. That Decathlon was a bad one!

[warderseeker]

@moolikeacow2 thanks man. Habu flies great at low speeds, that's why I don't mind the bigger price on it. ya the ME and Decathalon hurt a bit, but both are fixable.

Thanks for watching

[ssiinniisstteerr]

Wow, First of all, why the nose dive into the ground? Did he lose connection? I think the thing that makes your videos so nice other than thousands of dollars worth of rc is the backdrop of blue skies and pine trees. Very nice. Just got the Habu. Cant wait to fly her. Happy flying. J

[warderseeker]

@ssiinniisstteerr Take a close look, and you'll see the rudder roll him over, he meant to do that, but he was quite low at the time, so he pulled hard up on the elevator. This is a common mistake on a stalled plane. If you are going too slow, and pull up on the elevator, it will just continue to stall. When this happens, let the plane dive a little longer, and pull up as slowly as you can, that way it won't stall the plane more. This don't happen as much with foamies, lighter wing loading

[zostritch]

i think i saw blood spit out of the decathlon when it did a endo into the ground...ouch defininately

[warderseeker]

@zostritch everything is fixable, thanks for watching

[youtwoba]

Ya I like the Habu much better without the gear, and sorry for the Decathalon Ouch!

[warderseeker]

@youtwoba Really tough to decide on whether to put E-flite retracts on it or not, bit of weight but not too bad I guess. Need some hardwood in there to fasten em too
