  • thats not a tip stal thats maiden voyage nerves or a bad pilot.

  • Check directions/diagrams to make sure you have the float mounts forward. The nose down attitude on the floats makes me think the mounts are on backwards.

  • He used the float mounts for the cub that came in the float kit, instead of the ones that were made for the beaver. Thats why the nose is pointing down, and the stance is more narrow...

  • NON SAI PILOTARE AEREOMODELLI.

  • Very nice floatplane and remember it has a higher wing loading so you have to be careful when intiating a turn not to turn to tight at a low speed. It is one of the main causes for a scale model to crash.

  • yea not a tip stall also the floats were set up wrong if you look

    the aircraft should have some + AoA when on the water it was level maybe even some - AoA

  • high wing aircraft cant tip stall as easily. The Beaver is a very stable platform and with the addition of a light wing loading landing distances are short which made it a great floatplane :)

  • It is a great plane from what I see but everyone keeps trying to fly it too slow with the flaps down and then it stalls and drops. I am not saying that is what happen here. I agree it was pilot in too tight of a turn.

  • it´s not a tip stall.... :)

  • Look closely, not a tip stall, he was getting too close to the trees, he gave left aileron to avoid the trees, but he needed up elevator at the same time and then right elevator to flatten out again on a new path away from the trees. Novice pilot flying in a small space, not giving plane enough airspeed and altitude to have good control.

    Slope flying EPP gliders is fantastic for practice, and gives you unlimited air time.

    The one in the video is a very draggy plane.
