@nahanton It's "tzilamty" which is one word for: I filmed (that) in Hebrew,

thanks for watching.

Thanks for posting, the crash did not look too bad.

You are crazy about landing though - why not fly a bit more between landings :o)...

[nickeystardust]

I was practicing landings, I know this bipe from a friend, the reviews says agile slow flyer and it's not. when you cut the throttle it simply falls like a rock! like any other scale,

the last "landing" crack the fuselage in half

I have the same biplane, the reason yours lands so fast is because it's nose heavy. Move the battery back a bit to get the CG back and it will definitely land slower, I modded the rear battery compartment on mine so I could get the lipo back there. Mine flies great and lands like a feather.

I did try move the battery' back and use the under wing compartment, when the CG is back the plane fly in "stall mode" and i have to trim it down greatly, however when its windy it lands great, which means, no beginner plane.

Cool plane. A friend of mine wants one. Good idea practicing landing. Remember, when you cut power on a biplane, they do drop. And fly your plane until it has landed. Don't let it stall and do a "3 point" landing or it will have a tendency to bounce and roll over the nose I have another HK pitts and I had to adjust my landing style to bring it in on its front wheels only. Not to be critical, just suggestions! 5*.
