Nitroplanes HA-420 Honda Converted To A (Twin 70MM Jet Maiden Flight Crash)

[erh7771]

GREAT FLYIN!!! Sorry about the loss...similar happened to me the other day on my F18; low on power tried to get her to go flat and she wing tipped to the right. Are you willing to do some build details? This plane is 125 dollars shipped and is ~ 5.5ft long and same width. It's not too large but not small at all, I would love to have this one in my hanger. What was your AUW? Thx in advance for any input

@erh7771 it was 11lbs, there's a long build thread on Rcgroups if you search "Honda Biz Jet" you should fine it youtube won't allow me to put the link in this response

That was actually a very nice flight to watch. The 70mm EDF's seamed to work very well.

o snap! :( shame! hope it's not TOO bad!

Nice flight all the way up to your or the model's unfortunate mishap; I hope you are able to get it back up to flight condition, take care Flyboytha1

awe man sorry my condelences I can see what you were trying to do, but it lost speed, I know the feeling, try a smaller edf, first then rebuild, I'm going to get the eflight f-4 phantom it has lots of thrust, and I know I have to cut the motor and glide in very tough thing to learn fortunately I learned from the L-39 from Electrifly, I think it was, to cut the power on the back side and glide, but I broke twice to learn it, once again sorry se it go down like that.

rooting for ya.

Aii man...Sorry for the crash...What happen? you had the landing but you pulled out and she rolled on you...Can she be repaired?

[GamerSipes]

Sorry to see that crash Flyboy. The plane looked like it was a very graceful flyer too. I know you have top skills, so chalk it up to an unfortunate mistake. :(

[flyboytha1]

@GamerSipes It's all good, i'll be starting on a twin 90mm 80" wingspan Gulfstream G500 this weeken :)

[GamerSipes]

@flyboytha1 Yep... its part of the hobby. I have lost count on the number of planes I have crashed, and it is usually because of a simple mistake I would make. Thats how I kept getting better though. You always have such nice EDF's and you have great flying skills, but like with all of us RC pilots, they come down hard sometimes.

[flyboytha1]

@GamerSipes Lol like my retired buddy says enjoy them cause there not going to last forever, something will fail one day.

[hotblume]

You probably know this but you pulled up way to much and you stalled. Edfs are not very friendly when you dont have enough speed.

[flyboytha1]

@hotblume No there seem to have been some power lost if you look at 3:36 on my first appraoch the plane seem to want to go to the right, but on the fianl touch down and the palne bounce back ito the air i was trying to go left but she was going right and loosing power.
