Those last two landings were nice! Once suggestion for smooth landings - bring the plane in low earlier - just let the plane hover for a while at 2 or 3 feet - then let the plane set itself down. And it helps to cut the thrust a bit earlier - let the plane glide it. Don't "put" the plane down, let it set itself down. Nice and easy.
Good video, last landing is good. Aaah I'm sad, last Saturday right after the maiden flight which was second flight, I had the same Magnum .46 XLS on it, due to receiver which seems to be the most likely cause, it fluttered in the air many times, upon landing it took a sharp nose dive and crashed. It was a good plane. I like your video, keep it up.
@jesknow I did everything I could have possibly done. Few mistakes I made but anway, my Escapade is history, then I got left with Hangar 9's P51 Mustang MKII, which I crashed due to my mistake, lower inverted high speed pass, though I've been flying for 5 1/2 years, but that was my mistake I could not recover it. Now I have Phoenix Models Strega 40 ARF, don't have time to even assemble it. Still a lot of things in garage.

@microdon2 Ya, that's a great idea! Let the plane "hover" 2 or 3 feet above the runway? That's called a stall! Or worse, a tip stall!

The first landing was bad one

The landing @ 3:00 wasn't bad.

That last landing was just plain luck. I can't redue that landing. Everytime I bring her around I come in for a touch and go. It's hard.

@modykhan1805 Did you wrap the rx in spong or foam? Could have been caused by motor vibration. Also be sure to balance your props.

Didn't realize how hard it is to taxi a plane on the ground - especially when the ground is uneven. thats my excuse.

Love the landings, but would like to see more of your taxi-ing ability:-)
