  • in response to my last comment and everyone elses that asked what went wrong, it looked like from the video that there werent enough rubber bands, and u probably were pushing the plane a little hard for that amount so in this case, the crash was user error and not the plane,do u the a couple rubber bands r goung to hold the wing on, u have to put a minimum if 10 for any trainer the uses them, mine alpha is the old version and doestnt even have the aluminum bar, and i can even pull tricks off

  • @FlyingAvenger Yes the crash was user error in that I pushed the plane too far. The rubber bands were actually still intact as if they should be holding the wing on. The problem was the high pitch prop made for too much speed along with a full throttle dive bomb. The aluminum tube in the wing snapped like nothing and the whole wing folded in half. So even if I had 100 rubber bands on it would have not helped anything

  • lol that sucks what motor is that?

  • just the standard pts engine that the plane came with

  • "300 dollar plane" Grr why does everything have to be so cheap in the US? :p Here in Sweden it cost equilant to over 720US dollar. Sorry about your plane though.

  • I believe I got the plane mis marked at the store. I have not found this plane at that price anywhere else other than the hobbytown usa I bought it from. The plane is all fixed up though. Just needed a new fuselage

  • lol thats what you get when you treat a trainer like an acro. they just arent build for those full speed pulls. just be thankfull that you just lost you plane instead of it crashing in a house and getting your ass sued flying it in a residential area. just pay the fees to fly at your local field and fees for your AMA membership if your going to get into nitro RC. Sorry about the plane but trust me it could have been a LOT worse...

  • Nice!!!

see all

  • If you would have used epoxy to glues the wing together an used more rubber bands that probably wouldn't have happened plus your flying it around like its a stunt plane an its NOT, that was your own stupidity USER ERROR.........

  • No he didn't haha

  • Did you not epoxie the wings when you put them together.

  • 3:20 proof that there were plenty of rubberbands to ll you doubters out there
