RC Airplane crashes - pissed off pilot!

** Strong Language Warning! **

Me, crashing two of my RC airplanes.

Filmed spring, 1997. The first video is the maiden flight of my Hanger 9 Cessna, powered by a Saito GK 56 4-stroke. I used cheap 'Cirrus' servos in the wing. The left servo gets stuck in the 'up' position, causing me to loose control and crash. I actually sent an edited copy of this video to Hanger 9 and Cirrus and Hanger 9 responded by sending me a new fuselage.

Filmed late summer, 1997. The second crash was a used Sportster 25 I bought from a local hobby shop on a Friday night. I had to leave on a two week business trip the following Sunday and I was hell bent on flying it before I left. It was later discovered that the throttle arm on the carb was loose and when I went to full throttle, the vibration would move the barrel back to idle, causing a loss of power. The reason It was thrown instead of a ground takeoff was because I tried earlier to takeoff from a nearby parking lot and the plane lifted, lost power, and came down hard, damaging the landing gear. If you visit the field, and listen real close, you can still hear the echos of my scream. lol

Two weeks later I tried again to fly it and the plane must have been hungry; since it ended up in a corn field in a million pieces. lol

Help! Is there any chance you didn't make a pile and burn them? I need parts off that Cessna. That is a Hangar 9 Cessna and parts are no longer available. I need that front windshield and the elevator. I can fabricate the elevator but not that windshield. Thanks for a response either way.

@Hillville I originally purchased this kit from Hanger 9 directly, along with the aileron servos as a package deal. After the crash, I sent a copy of this video and the servos back to Hanger 9. They agreed the servos were defective. They sent 2 new servos and a new fuselage for the plane. I ended up selling the plane and all the spare parts to my friend, who fixed it and crashed it again on it's second flight. He said it was a total loss and threw everything away. Sorry. :(

So there is no way the servo gear failure was caused by falling 50 feet from the air??? Learn to use the left stick and use the runway for takeoff.

@offroadfun1970 Watch the video closely starting 1:18 - look the aileron on the left - it's stuck in the up position - it stayed that way no matter what stick inputs I gave the plane - all the way to the ground. The only options I had was left aileron up, right aileron down - or both ailerons up, which stalled the plane, causing a slow spin to the ground. Flying with a stuck aileron is almost impossible, especially if you don't realize the problem until it's too late to recover.

@javamochacocoa whoops I meant that towards the cessna.

Looks like your center of gravity shifted while in flight. most likely your gas tank slid backward. That's too bad it was pretty nice though! And when a plane goes tail heavy it's pretty much impossible to get down in one piece! Great video!

2:25 IS SO F FUNNY

Half power in a climb= STALL

Pilot Error.Tip stall, not aileron not working. Engine failing because of poor engine tuning by pilot.
