JAS 39 Gripen park jet - severe crash during maiden flight
Loading...
Uploaded by jaksel on Aug 22, 2008
Too eager to get airborne...
Conditions weren't exactly perfect - it had rained a bit earlier that evening, there was a bit of wind, and the sun had already set. I took a chance, and tried to fly anyway. Everything was fine until I flew into the sunset. Due to the backlight, I could only make out the profile of the plane. Once there, it started to roll a bit. Unable to see to which way it had rolled, I pulled the elevator to gain some height. But unfortunately the plane had already rolled too much, and took a sharp dive towards the ground. The forward fuselage was completely crushed, however the rest of the plane survived. That's one great advantage of the low weight of foam jets.
It flew again, only 2 days later (see my other video).

The swedes used all the cold war dirty tricks to finance this fighter. It didn´t deserve any better destiny........

Hard lines mate, looks like a very nice build

@jaksel Having watched a few times, I was going to say - inverted half loop - , however, due to the bad light, I could see it was a nose-in, with no input from you!
If I had been flying, I'd be saying " What the hell happened?".
Lovely plane, hope you rebuilt and re-flew. The flight itself was flawless.
"U dun goofed at flying??" How about " U Dun destroyed the English language?"

@superjboy Yeah, I guess you know much better than me what the conditions were, when you're sitting at home in front of your computer. I mean I was only there and flew the plane...

You did a great job building.
Light foam, depron is an expensive product.
Not fair, to the buyer to absorb so much expense for a simple crash.
Manufactures should include or sell extra parts at a discount.

Thanks!
Depron is actually not very good for building RC models. It is too fragile. EPP is better, but I couldn't find any...
