I know you all want to see crashes. So here are the crashes from my Maiden flight of my Nitroplanes Airfield 800mm P-40 ARF.

I fixed my P40, shaved off 40grams of weight from removing the rudder servo, links, horns, etc... balanced it with 3S 30C lipo. Remaiden'd and it still wanted to nose dive. I had to trim it at almost full up to keep her afloat. Unfortunately, during a bank and yank, she decided to nose-dive. Canopy is gone, broken wing, broken nose, broken firewall (again), bent shaft. I decided to spend my time in other better flying planes like the Jpower Warbirds instead of fixing the P-40. :-/

That's what I thought too so I double/triple checked it and the ele is correct. I think it's just too dang nose heavy for the 2S battery.

@youronlycow oh cool thanks for letting me know

@TheHiddenmagician hey.. Haha I have something similar... I have the 800mm p-51 and I nosed down really badly on maiden cus of CG error.. ZZ different versions with corrected weight.. anyway, my shaft is bent and it produces a lot of vibration.. However bent to the point where you cannot tell unless you turn the motor on.. Anyway, it still flies and it makes a neat sound in the air... No prob with that, sometimes need to reinforce the motor though...

and also the spinner and prop are secured very well onto the shaft and the shaft is not bent. im not sure why it is doing this but i think it might be due to hard landings? you nose dived yours and it seemed the shfat wasnt bent and it ran smoothly its so wierd. anyways please let me know because it sounded nice out of the box and a couple of easy flights without major damage and this motor sounds like hell lol plz help thanks

hey for soem reason, my spinner doesnt spin perfectly in line, it kinda slightly wobbles to the sides when i spin it. When i use the motor, 1/4 throttle and up makes it vibrate ALOT, yet i dont see and loosening of the motor. The motor is on pretty tight, but i can move the outrunner part a little to the side and front and back. The propeller is chipped lightly from some rougher landings, but besides that, i dont know why it is ibrating so much. It doesnt effect the flights but it sounds bad
