Of course we do. See this was brought to you by 'Lesson Learned Films'. Hence a lesson was learned. In this case we learned to re-bind after all setup and servo reversing is completed. Don't get me wrong this was a hard lesson learned , so we poked some fun at ourselves and move on. People should lighten up a little.
Don't you guys do preflight checks -- like verifying that the failsafe is set to cut the engine or at least bring it back to idle? Wouldn't have saved this bird but imagine if it were headed for a crowd of onlookers! The Spektrum/JR failsafe process sucks -- even the cheap Chinese products offer a much better/easier to set failsafe .
I did the same thing on my JR9303 lucky I was taxing out for take off and realize the plane was not responding. A quick look shows the radio was off and the power switch was in the off position also. I guess I was trimming the throttle and switch off my radio. I mod my switch so it wont happen again.
@japveen Hey brainiac, did you watch the video?? He specifically said that he inadvertently turned off his radio. ANY radio will not work whether it is 2.4 or 72 mhz if it is shut off.
What does the % Mean? Like yours is 30% ? Cool Motto, "If you Can't Afford to Crash them, you Can't Afford to Fly Them!" haha.. Imma get a me a sticker that says that...
@japveen 2.4 is crap cause this guy turned off his radio off i have hundreds of hours on 2.4 not one issue it is better by all accounts just my 2 cents
Sounds/looks like the Canada boys need to get more use to their radio controls before flying... I will say this much, the music with the video was great..
@doublebs 1 yr ago but so true. I almost did the same thing while taxing out for take off trying to trim down the throttle and turn off my radio instead. the plane ran in to the fence. So i get my dremel tool and cut down some of the switch lol.

HERE IS A GOOD TIP FOR EVERYONE... go to the fabric store and get a few sample sized pieces of material of your choice (choosing thicker material is better). then cut and clue the different textures to the various control buttons.
I messed up my fail safe settings as well when I bound my plane. I turned off my radio once while there was a battery in the plane and it just took off. Luckily it was not in the air like yours though.
It was my first plane and I figured I should have all the controls centered when I bound my plane. oops. I'll never make that mistake again.
wow thats a high dollar loss, im sure it would total about 2 grand. Which is exactly why I stick to the .40 to .60 size planes. I cant afford to lose a plane like that.
"If you cant afford to crash them, you cant afford to fly them"??? This is a not-so-good-pilot rationalization... But whatever keeps you smiling I guess...
Actually, on approach he shut his radio off by accident while trying to lower throttle trim. As soon as you here it go full throttle, just before it flies by, is when he shut down tx and failsafe mode ( programmed at binding ) gave it FULL throttle . He never regained contact with the receiver after that . The lesson learned here is to read step 6 in the JR9303 manual on page G-19 !! Who knew !! Really tough lesson . Just a simple mistake . Wasn't the first and cetainly won't be our last !
I know how it feels. I just lost my DP extra 330L due to something stupid. I was doing a low pass and turned on my smoke pump, but accidentally hit the ignition switch. Nowhere to land and in she went. Sorry for you loss here.
FYI. It was 1 approach shown twice. Lol. Ur funny.

Yes 30% of scale. Engine is a DA 50cc. We both are now flying Aeroworks Yak 54's with the 50's. No crashes. Awesome fun!

@inciteman 30% is a little less than 1/3 the size of the full scale aircraft. 50% would be 1/2 the size of the full scale aircraft.
