  • Upon leaving the ground the plane immediately torque rolled left. Cars and people were to the left so I pulled up to get away from them. That worked but the torque of the oversized engine overpowered the ailerons and I had no right roll, only left. Realizing that I couldn't turn right and the plane was at least going back over the field, I killed the throttle. Let it crash away from people. Only then did I realize that it was torque rolling, too late. Smash!! Like I said, pilot error.

  • While I agree that pilot error was the problem it was neither leaving a step out of the process or incorrect CG. What it was is using an engine that was way to large for the aircraft and too large a prop on top of that. This plane, built to scale, has very small extended ailerons. Most modelers when building these increase the size to give better control. I chose to build to scale, use too large an engine, then crank the throttle to full bore on take off. Watch it again, you'll hear it.

  • omfg what a heck was at 0:20 ass shakers?\

  • A box of wood and a set of plans $165.00 .. Leaving a step out of the building process and seeing the pilots face after the crash, priceless.

  • Flying a tail heavy model is pilot error.

    Not checking the C of G is pilot error.

  • I agree, very tail heavy. A nose heavy plane will fly, a tail heavy plane will fly once.

  • Yeah I gotta sat that was really tail heave any he had no control. Even the best would crash there.

  • That was not pilot error, that looked quite tail heavy

  • Has anybody noticed they always turn off the camera the second the plane hits the ground

  • hahahahahah
