RC airplane crash - Keno's Homemade flying machine - 3rd Attempt

The mission is to make an RC airplane out of trash. This one isn't all garbage, but mostly.

Location: Monterrey, Mexico
My homemade RC airplane crashes and my cousin Carlos laughs like a girl.

I suspect that the engine throttle was set too low and the airplane stalled on takeoff. Now I think that the wings aren't quite symmetrical and that makes the plane bank to the left despite my turning the ailerons to a full right.

The wings are made of the Styrofoam containers in which meat is sold. They are thenwrapped in cheap shrinkwrap.

Lesson learned: Larger ailerons are needed to make up for shoddy craftmanship on the wings.

I would say design fault, you corrected the pitch on launch but it responded poorly, but than who knows what you were doing with the controls

In the side view at the beginning look at the AIRFOIL on that thing! It might have a better chance of flying if it's wing looks (shock, horror) something like a WING.

you may need right thrust on that motor

Actually I was referring to an incident I had aboard a US Airways flight last August when they were stuck on the runway for 3 hours with a technical failure... Presumptuous aggressor.

Good try.... Prop may need to be changed. Don't feel bad, I crashed one today as well.

That makes no sense! Are you referring to the recent landing in the hudson? Ignorant moron.

It was built better than a US Airways I can say that much.
