Ive flown a lot of war birds in 30yrs. But that AT-6 is something else !! In this video you can hear the wind in the mic is strong. Looks like the wind got under the left wing and blew the plane over, and maybe with a torque roll...uh ?
@fastestcararound Took the words from my typing fingers! So many plane vid posters seem to thing it's fascinating to watch somebody start and adjust and futz with his plane for minute after minute, all for the sake of a 10 second climax.
A couple things...I didn't see a range check of any type. Maybe it was done before filming.
I also went frame by frame on this, and it looks like it may have been yanked up a tad too early. The TO is at about 45 degrees..... Good effort. THese things are tricky machines. They were designed to mimic a fighter plane in flight characteristics, and a lot of people forget that because they look so sedate.
sorry for your loss; very fixable though. I think the airplane was very tailheavy. Did you CG it? I was watching the tail which didn't fly for a long time after power applied. The airplane will be a great flyer when balanced out. Good luck.
I had a video called Texas Pylon Racing. I was amazed how guys that raced these things had such a tough time landing them and taking them off. I have a Great Planes AT-6 and it is a handful. They sure look great, but they look horrible to land and take off. In the video the guy that one first place in a heat smashed into a pylon or something on the runway. Who puts that kind of crap on a runway where guys are racing. Sorry to see your crash, but those planes are a handful for all.
I've got a Kyosho AT-6 with an OS61 in it. I git my teeth every time I fly it. It just does not inspire confidence. One day I'll have to "build" a real AT-6 as I just love 'em.
My comments without reading all of the other posts. 1st to the asshole about electrics. Hopefully you will have one of your lipos burn your garage down. 2nd. I have noticed more and more people in this hobby wouldn't know a piece of balsa or aircraft ply if some one beat them over the head with it. Observation on the AT- 6 If all the controls were zero zero then my conclusion is lateral balance as well as being tail heavy
95% of the comments are complete bullshit. Everything involved in a crash happens in micro-seconds. Acting like you noticed an aileron or elevator issue makes you look like complete assholes. He built a plane and attempted to fly it. 99.9% can't pee without hitting the toilet seat. He's great because he tried, crashed and still posted this video.. Most of you pussies have never built a single fuc#ing thing in your life.
@southernadvantage Being good at building a perfectly safe flying machine and being able to add attention to detail are two totally different build skills. Not everyone can do both. Pretty poor comment from you :(
@straighttailpilot Definitely reversed ailerons. you can see him make a minor adjustment to correct but then because it didnt he went more and rolled it. I know this from experience... wrecked my 31in yak on its maiden due to reversed ailerons thankfully though with it being so light, no damage occured.
Just read all the comments and I notice a clear pattern. The ones who give proper possible reasons are all flyer's, BUT the ones who just take the Piss are just ass holes who have never even tried to fly and therefor do not know what they are talking about. Question Did you fly it again?
To me it looked as if !, your Ailerons were the wrong way around. 2. with the incorrect ailerons plus a torch roll from the powerful engine. 3 Did not hold the rudder in for long enough.
Get all those points sorted out and it will fly nice.
when your were starting your engine, I noticed the wind sock was in the right direction for take off at that time, did the wind switch prior to take off?
If only we could for see every problem before a maiden and correct it then planes would not crash. But this will never be the case. One will never know on maidens the character of the plane, its only when they break ground when you see ground checks, craftsmanship and piloting. These things will never stop happening so don't feel bad, it happens to everyone in this hobby.
sorry about your plane. looks like the rudder was pushed over to the right along with the aileron.i would bet there was a cross wind from behind you.
sounded like alot of wind in your video to.tame down those control throws next time. build a easy tail dragger to practice with also. wait for the right wind conditions then head for the sky and not the ground
Sorry to see this happen. I hope you're able to rebuild and better flight next time.
NOTE TO SELF: Lots torque on tail dragger when lifting off. On maiden flights... Get plenty of ground speed and let it lift by it's self w/o snapping it up before trimmed and familiar.
i must be mistaken but b4 u took off maybe you did no tcontrolled all servos if they were functioning well b4 take off.. Ive seen a lot of these crashes and 80% of the reason is that,, Sorry for the plane it look antique but i love these kind of planes thou..
ha-haa Now that was funny!! Before anyone gets on my case. Anyone that gets into any type of rc's they know it's money they will never see again. Trust I know all too well.
Pilot got startled at the moment the plane was coming towards him at full speed, he pulls up, kills the air flow and tumble/rolls to Chokeville USA. We've all been there once or twice.... or 3 or 4 times.....
Thanks to the pilot of the plane for having the stones for allowing this video to be posted. It is very educational to learn from other people's unfortunate accidents. I agree with the snap roll conclusion. Man that thing sounded sweet taxiing out for takeoff. Looked great too. Doesn't look that bad for fixing. There's work to do, but it isn't done by any means.
@adampope64 Ok not to sound like a Etard but WTF does that mean i see someone post it every single hour somewhere..is it the new trendy thing to repeat endlessly to fit in with etards or does it have any relevant meaning at all..which i doubt by the way..do you even know what it means or are you just jumping on the ETard bandwagon...ALA Did he died? Let me know thanks. :D
@Bradentucky Besides you'd just replace it with the bullshit of dealing with highly explosive 300 dollar batteries, 500 dollar chargers and speed controllers that go up in smoke if they're not carefully watched. You're not gaining anything.
@Bradentucky Hey man, that bullshit is a lot of fun if you're a nitro guy :) I fly both electrics and nitros, and honestly my love for engines makes that "bullshit" a big chunk of the fun of the hobby. Just a matter of taste I guess
@woodfit. Dude you must be moronic, even I know that the best test to see if you engine's running lean is to put it at full throttle and hold it nose up... and I fly tiny 46cu size planes(~8cc). You tell me how to do that while holding your transmitter and keeping a firm grip on the plane.
Look at the elevator guys... the pilot never gets the tail up so has too much angle of attack and stalls (unusually) the starboard wing. Even when the plane is inverted you can see the up elevator. There may also be an incidence problem - more on starboard wing than port.
Cut him a bit of slack though - it was cold - we don't work at best efficiency when cold!
Shame about the plane but I think your safety needs looking at, stupid place to leave your receiver with the engine at half throttle and THEN to pick it up , it beggers belief !!!! If that had slipped out of one of your hands it would have taken one of your limbs off and it wouldnt have stopped, I fly a Sukhoi 26m with a CrrC 42cc engine and I would NEVER dream of doing that, its called respect,
@woodfit dude, come on, its a free country, if he chops his finger he chops his finger off, but he didnt so its none of your concern of where his TRANSMITTER is. P.S.
@woodfit dude, come on, its a free country, if he chops his finger he chops his finger off, but he didnt so its none of your concern of where his TRANSMITTER is.
I recon it swung to the left toward the pilot @ 3:34 just before it rotated, the pilot applied right rudder to correct it just as it rotated @ 3:35 but the tail had only just began flying so I think the pilots application of near full up @ 3:36 probably induced a stall and it then snapped in.
i dont know much bout this stuff but a suggestion is to much power on take off? cos thats what happens to the ww2 plane such as spitfire, mustang, warhawk etc.
Snap roll is the more appropriate term here.. possible wing incidence problem. Looks like a nice bird! Midwest kit possibly? Whatever the result it wasn't too bad and can be repaired easily, if it really did much damage at all.
I doubt that he pulled right aileron and elevator at the same time.. more like pulling back too early and too hard. Been there, done that with the same result many moons ago! You'll get her up again! Give it a long rollout and EASE back on the stick.. you'll be A ok!
While we are on name calling, You are a real DICKWEED. NO,I NEVER WAS A MANUFACTURER OF GIANT SCALE R/C. NO, I NEVER DID GIANT SCALE RACING WITH 4 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN A ROW! NO,I NEVER HAD MORE THAN 13 AT6'S IN THE PITS AT ONE TIME.I COULD GO ON FOR SOME TIME, BUT YOU, ASSWIPE, ARE SIMPLY NOT WORTH THE EFFORT!.
That's a shame but to be honest it could have been much worse. I done the same thing to a cap 232 and it was smashed into splinters upto the back of the wing. You got off light.
instead of wasting almost 3 minutes showing us how hard the plane was to start and the subsequent warm up, just trim it back and show take off and crash.
from what i saw and experience, he got abit panic when it start to drift to the left and then he pull eleva too soon instead of rudder back straight or even do both correct with rudder and pull down throttle or even may be restart the take off. it was not a bad crash.
Easy to do , done it myself. Needed to keep her on the ground and rolling until she had flying speed. One holds the tail down that bit too long and there is enough prop wash to lift the nose and lift the now stalled wing, and over she goes. Quick rudder can save the day but we all instinctively hold on full aileron, which does nothing of course - the wing is fully stalled. Always a pain in the butt.
@tomview1 I am speaking from experience, early in my modeling career I did the same thing. Low airspeed, lots of rudder and elevator = snap roll = lots of airplane parts.
I doubt it was reversed ailerons as he did a check, looks to me like he took off to early without enough groundspeed and it simply stalled over the right wing when he pulled up. Completely understandable being a maiden and not knowing the plane, atleast there wasn't alot of damage.
@Booozsht Yes I saw it, at about 1:42. But with many of these planes they have fake (read "replica") engine covers to make the plane look more realistic. So the piece rotating may not have been the actual engine but rather just a plastic piece that covers the engine.
He cuts the throttle before crashing indicating that this is an experienced pilot. There was no weathervaning to the right, showing no problem with right crosswind.I think reversed aileron. I don't think there are too many pilots that could catch reversed aileron fast enough for a recovery
At 01:49 he is checking aileron movement. But I don't think he thought out the response. It looks like classic aileron reversal. Of course this has never happened to me...
On your preflight, you should never ever check the direction of travel for the control surfaces. Only check out that engine. Glad you don't fly for United.
regardless of what comments ,,it appeared to be underpowered and tail heavy ,,and yes the takeoff was too steep ,,but the pane was doomed ,anyway ,,and you never maiden in strong winds even when they are down the runway.
I would say it looked like a " commanded " roll . This means it was reversed ailerons , radio glitch , or old fashioned " finger trouble " . Im picking it may have been the later , whilst tyring to battle the cross wind . Shame , nice plane .
Pitched up abruptly at too low an airspeed and stalled the right wing, controls being crossed because the pilot was panicking during the abrupt swing on takeoff.
It was ugly anyway, but after the crash it was even uglier. By the way, next time a plane rolls on you like that, hit DOWN elevator when its upside down. I can see that the elevator was straight when it was inverted. I would have hit DOWN elevator and got some altitude and then hold the aelerons over to the left.
These are one of those stubborn old farts you see in a hobby shop. The kind that talks all this nonsense, and we get to see him in action, great video!

from what i saw and experience, he got abit panic when it start to drift to the left and then he pull eleva too soon instead of rudder back straight or even do both correct with rudder and pull down throttle or even may be restart the take off. it was not a bad crash.

If the plane is already in the air, do not cut the engine off. But i guess you know that now.
good luck next time ;)

Easy to do , done it myself. Needed to keep her on the ground and rolling until she had flying speed. One holds the tail down that bit too long and there is enough prop wash to lift the nose and lift the now stalled wing, and over she goes. Quick rudder can save the day but we all instinctively hold on full aileron, which does nothing of course - the wing is fully stalled. Always a pain in the butt.

@Rincypoopoo I have a RC AT-6 as well, a little smaller than this one (.56 4 stroke).
I totally agree, been there too. Rudder is the only way to save the day.

ailerons were full to the left all the way during that roll. looks like a plain stall on the right wing to me. not enough airspeed.

Good reason for a better paint job too?

Looks like a heap of right rudder to keep it online plus some elevator to rotate.
Lets review, full power, low airspeed, rudder[right] and elevator and maybe a little tail heavy?
Perfect combination for a snap roll - who agrees?

@tomview1 That will do it every time, model or full scale, they all obey the same laws of aerodynamics.

@tomview1 I am speaking from experience, early in my modeling career I did the same thing. Low airspeed, lots of rudder and elevator = snap roll = lots of airplane parts.

Respond to this video... At least he can give it a decent paint job now.

Wind + Rain = No good flying day. Especially for RC Planes.
kaare1992 1 year ago
I doubt it was reversed ailerons as he did a check, looks to me like he took off to early without enough groundspeed and it simply stalled over the right wing when he pulled up. Completely understandable being a maiden and not knowing the plane, atleast there wasn't alot of damage.

Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll, gain speed then take off slowly.

ok. . . .Anybody see that engine rotate first time he throttled up on stand? Or is it possible that rotation of prop created an optical illusion?
Booozsht 1 year ago
@Booozsht Yes I saw it, at about 1:42. But with many of these planes they have fake (read "replica") engine covers to make the plane look more realistic. So the piece rotating may not have been the actual engine but rather just a plastic piece that covers the engine.

Took off too early trying to pull up too quickly will cause that as well. I know Because it happend to me almost just like this
iceman997799 1 year ago
He cuts the throttle before crashing indicating that this is an experienced pilot. There was no weathervaning to the right, showing no problem with right crosswind.I think reversed aileron. I don't think there are too many pilots that could catch reversed aileron fast enough for a recovery
ejcm55 1 year ago
At 01:49 he is checking aileron movement. But I don't think he thought out the response. It looks like classic aileron reversal. Of course this has never happened to me...
ejcm55 1 year ago
I bet it was reversed servos on the ailerons ....Just my cheap shot at it.

On your preflight, you should never ever check the direction of travel for the control surfaces. Only check out that engine. Glad you don't fly for United.

regardless of what comments ,,it appeared to be underpowered and tail heavy ,,and yes the takeoff was too steep ,,but the pane was doomed ,anyway ,,and you never maiden in strong winds even when they are down the runway.

@norm53 It sounds like good power, and good airspeed. How do you know what the balance was?

I would say it looked like a " commanded " roll . This means it was reversed ailerons , radio glitch , or old fashioned " finger trouble " . Im picking it may have been the later , whilst tyring to battle the cross wind . Shame , nice plane .
lumpy3553 1 year ago
Pitched up abruptly at too low an airspeed and stalled the right wing, controls being crossed because the pilot was panicking during the abrupt swing on takeoff.

zachnunes123456789 1 year ago
It was ugly anyway, but after the crash it was even uglier. By the way, next time a plane rolls on you like that, hit DOWN elevator when its upside down. I can see that the elevator was straight when it was inverted. I would have hit DOWN elevator and got some altitude and then hold the aelerons over to the left.
