Stuka failure to launch

Chris Hornbys YT International JU87 Stuka.

This is one heavy and over powered model. It has a 40Volt 2000W power system and full on board sound generators. It sufferers from landing gear that is a little fragile.

Anyhow, the first failure to launch was due to a reversed rudder. When it pulled to the right, Chris corrected but ended up turning further to the right.

The second "event" was due to the esc failing under load, no visible damage but it will no longer send power to the prop, it failed at point of take off and caused the UC to dig back in and lurch sideways.

@gmccord1970 The ESC failed, you would know this if you read the notes to the vid.

40% of German aircraft on the Eastern front were lost due to poor runways.

If this model is anything like the real bird, you need a better airstrip my friend ;)
