P40 Crash On Takeoff

[traviscarv]

No no no you are suppose to fly up then turn left not turn left then down

[occolonels]

Is landing a war bird any different than any other plane. I usually fly sport planes so I'm just wondering if landing is different

[ricksteffey123]

boring

[mreid08]

That's A p40 for ya not enough ground speed and it's a tip stall for sure, that's why I got rid of mine.

[buzz60016]

Thank god for glue

Also - Thank you for posting

A very cute P-40

Which kit is it ?

[AllenRockwell]

How about a little rudder next time and then let it build up some speed before trying to yank it into the air.

[JMPILOT6714]

rcflyerct is RIGHT!

I fly P40's ALL the time..P-51's and Zero and ALL have to get speed enough to get that tail up,if you try to "force" the warbird in the air,it will tip stall into the ground!!EVERY TIME.

[gmccord1970]

my phoenix spitfire is no different. When that tail goes up I pull back....slowly!!!

[rcflyerct]

A PERFECT EXEMPLE; A WAR BIRD CAN NOT TAKE OF IN GROUND EFFECT, its not a trainer RULE NUMBER 1: LOTS OF SPEED DOWN THE RUNWAY AND TAKE OFF SHALLOW A MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

PEOPLE FLYING WARBIRDS PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!! ALSO LAND LEVEL AND DON'T FLOAT THEM IN OR ELSE CRASH

DO NOT BLAME THE PLANE

BLAME THE PILOT FOR BEING STUPID!!!!!

[Mark1Spitfire]

It cant pick up ground speed if up elevator is held, all that will happen is it will take off on its own to early without the wings giving aerofoil lift

[keys2heaven]

Yes, p-factor definitely an issue. I've seen many videos of R/C airplanes on here and many yaw to the left from p-factor and the pilot is not correcting with rudder but aileron.

I looked at this video and you can clearly see aileron input causing the right wing to lift off. With no correction for p-factor with right rudder, the plane is destined to crash.

Use right rudder to keep the plane lined up on the centerline while it gains speed.

[monte6714]

I fly many P-40 Warhawks and they need airspeed on takeoff...VERY important..get it up on the main with a little foward stick..gain speed back pressure.

[fannyrat]

lol thats some expensive weed whacker

[fight2flyphoto]

That's a nice looking model, who makes it?

[looniet]

Idk? It was A club member

[gmccord1970]

I agree with bigpinecone, even though he didn't need to call you a douchebag, he is correct. You've got all that runway that wasn't used! Warbirds need to pick up speed first.

[looniet]

All his planes are overpowered and he normally has short take offs

[stphndxtr]

Unless you have the parkzone corsair... the thing takes off on a dime. Still, that bird needed more speed.

[canadianmaple09]

This isn't the most specatular or entertaining crash ever, but the way it disappeared entirely except for the tail surfaces was quite unique.

[geoffviper]

Agree with Brian

l have flown one of these and they require a fair bit of pace to take off, or they just roll over and, well , crash

[brianb130486]

Whats all these guys giving wrong advice on why it crashed? one guy said you advanced the throttle too quickly, another guy said it was a torque roll coz of too much throttle (ps the propellor spins anti-clockwise so its wasnt anything to do with torque!!...? The fact is the problem was you didnt have enough speed on the takeoff and it tip-stalled (meaning the plane tried to climb and tipped to one side due to lack of air speed. Warbirds need a decent airspeed to fly stable. Hope you still fly )

[brettwrb]

Wait a minute, there is torque roll from accelerating to quickly. It's called p-factor look it up. It cause the plane to yaw to the left just like he did. My decathlon does it on every takeoff.

[haeduleca20051]

hola sera que me guias paso a paso sobre el despegue y el aterrizaje, tengo uno y quisiera todas las recomendaciones posibles

[mustangwkc]

everyone makes mistakes, if everyone could fly a plane perfectly, then there would be no need for seatbelts.

[bigpinecone]

ahahahahahaaa!!! douchebag! pick up speed first!!! warbirds are meant to go fast!

[looniet]

ding ding ding we have a winner

[devolucioncero]

oh shit!!!!!!!!!

[Cherrycolalola4u]

Yup, too much throttle too quickly caused a torque roll. Very easy to do on these over powered warbirds. Advance throttle slow and evenly on takeoff roll, build airspeed to get some authority over your control services, rotate only after the tail wheel comes off the ground.

[Glum7]

HOW DARE YOU HURT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLANE!

poor warhawk...

[Pizza123321]

you pushed the theottle too high
