Damn thats a real shame. Practice side slip for quick approach to dead stick land. What a way for a great plane to end. Easy on the elev on take off mate. Looks like you flying tail heavy and on high rates. Better luck next time.
Does not look too too bad!! It looked absolutely beautiful from 2:20 to the 3 min mark. It also seemed to handle very well at low speed just before it landed, so there is a lot to be happy about. It didn't tip stall and spin straight down at least!! Nice save at the end. Congratulations on a beautiful plane. I'm sure it will fly again!
LOL!!! Old fart on the controls. No sympathy here. I was at a flying field and almost killed by an old man that lost control of his airplane when his hands started shaking.
Not a bad save. God, I can't stand dead sticks on warbirds. It's a nightmare. I almost lost a Spitfire when my engine conked out in the worst place possible. Luckily, she wasn't too bad. Broke a gear and some minor repairs. This is why I'm going totally electric for warbirds....more reliability.
After seeing this vid again,it may be a little tail heavy.The elevator throw may be too much.....but on a maiden flight you can't do much to adjust it.Who put that road in the way?Nice plane and hope the damage wasn't too bad.
Great looking plane. Sorry for the loss. Love the sound of that motor !! The airplane looked a little tail heavy, but still flyable. On the maiden flights of any of my scale planes, I always balance it forward of the recommended range and on my scratch build it's about 25% of the wing cord at the root. I will fine tune the CG after the maiden flight. No maiden flight crashes in 30 years due to CG problems. I know it's tough, but I hope to see it fly again.
The plane is not tail heavy.May need a fuel pump.Best bet with a P-47 is to belly it in on dead stick to save the gear.He had not many options being so low....a little more grass and it would have been fine imho.
I post these for my friends (vs. making DVD copies of my flights)....I had to turn off the comment section on my C-130 Video after 700,000 views....too many goofy remarks.
I enjoy criticism for that is how most of us learn in the hobby. I always anticipate the "arm chair" flyer response (in the r/c club as well as in here)....an opinion that usually is just that.
The irony is, this plane was designed to fight against the very action you have taken in disabling comments on your other videos. Just because you don't like what someone says doesn't make it ok to silence them. Deny it all you want but silencing "goofy remarks" is still Fascism no matter how you look at it.
Truth will always stand up to scrutiny and intellectual views are not effected by insults and trash talk.
She looked a touch tail heavy, but it looks like you were able to trim her out. At least the motor held out until you got her dialed in- otherwise that would have been a nasty confetti-maker.
Horrible to see a lovely model go in, looked a right handful from the off, to add all to the mix she goes deadstick on him. Hope she did not suffer to bad but the crunch sounded horrible.

Had plenty of time to turn that bird upwind to make a nice save. Instead, drops her in fast downwind and blows past the runway. PANIC!!!

@stompmaster My thoughts exactly, he had plenty of opportunity to turn.
It was clear from the outset both that the pilot lacked confidence, and that his colleagues had little confidence in him.

Ever thought of going electric? You won't have to worry about dead sticks anymore. Dead sticks on warbirds = probably crash.

That's why I prefer electric Park Flyers. They are much more stable just coz they are lighter. And they are much less noisy.

You should try to land before before it went dead stick as it seems to have a too heavy tail.
