@microdon2 Ya, that's a great idea! Let the plane "hover" 2 or 3 feet above the runway? That's called a stall! Or worse, a tip stall!

Those last two landings were nice! Once suggestion for smooth landings - bring the plane in low earlier - just let the plane hover for a while at 2 or 3 feet - then let the plane set itself down. And it helps to cut the thrust a bit earlier - let the plane glide it. Don't "put" the plane down, let it set itself down. Nice and easy.

The first landing was bad one

@jesknow I did everything I could have possibly done. Few mistakes I made but anway, my Escapade is history, then I got left with Hangar 9's P51 Mustang MKII, which I crashed due to my mistake, lower inverted high speed pass, though I've been flying for 5 1/2 years, but that was my mistake I could not recover it. Now I have Phoenix Models Strega 40 ARF, don't have time to even assemble it. Still a lot of things in garage.

@modykhan1805 Did you wrap the rx in spong or foam? Could have been caused by motor vibration. Also be sure to balance your props.

The landing @ 3:00 wasn't bad.

Good video, last landing is good. Aaah I'm sad, last Saturday right after the maiden flight which was second flight, I had the same Magnum .46 XLS on it, due to receiver which seems to be the most likely cause, it fluttered in the air many times, upon landing it took a sharp nose dive and crashed. It was a good plane. I like your video, keep it up.

Love the landings, but would like to see more of your taxi-ing ability:-)
That last landing was just plain luck. I can't redue that landing. Everytime I bring her around I come in for a touch and go. It's hard.

Didn't realize how hard it is to taxi a plane on the ground - especially when the ground is uneven. thats my excuse.
