Here is the 2nd flight of Gee Bee R3, after a little engine tuning, Moving the stuff inside the fuselage a bit forward t set CG, minor strut repairs and Gee Bee R3 flew just awesome. But lol damn engine quits in the end leaving us with a falling stone. Lucky us, it fell on dry land, not water. Enjoy the video.

  • lol, you can actually here Myriam get all annoyed with the crash at around 4:27 ... Her sigh says it all.

    Doesn't look too bad though. better then breaking a wing i guess.

  • @Spawn4ever guess she likes this heli too

  • @Spawn4ever

    lol I heard that too. She must have been thinking... "So how much is THIS going to cost now??" :-)

    Ali, what caused the motor cutout? Bad tuning? Or fuel starvation due to high G maneuvers?

  • @twinturbostang maybe bad tuning mate. I need to learn more about Gas engine tuning, I suck.

  • @alishanmao It sounded like a rich high needle. I had an engine sounding exactly like that, closing the high end by about a quarter turn fixed it. It gives loads more power, sounds better and is way more reliable.

  • @mauryr thanks for pointer mate. as soon as i have time to repair this bird landing gear I am gonna fly it again.

  • Chinese guy commented:"This plane is hard to fly..." lol

  • ali, its not a foamy, dont laugh when you crash it man.

  • Almost no rudder.

  • Ali you make every crash look very skillful, but you also come right back......keep flying

  • MAN, you almost made it to the runway, 5 more feet and it would have been a perfect dead stick landing, oh well. damage wasn't bad at all but I know when you pour your heart and soul into a project it SUX to crash it. I haven't been flying planes a lot due to my QUADCOPTER addiction but I still try to keep up.

    Talk to you later Alishan.

  • @meatloaf396 its all good mate. guess what i was trying to tell you was that you can not win an argument from Bruce. He is a very very very experienced guy in this field and I take his advise seriously due to his experience.
