AIR CRASH INVESTIGATION of IL-10 Sturmovik ILYUSHIN WWII warbird 1140mm RC ELECTRO combat plane

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

OK. Final report: I didnt use correct reciever and it was signal loss. There are carbon fibres in the fuselage and I didnt notice them. The plane will be fixed and we will see it in the air again in all its glory. Big salute to all from Slovenia and never give up this amazing hobby.

[@Why-ct6kz]

What reciever should you have used ? and which reciever did you have in it?, looks an easy fix , you are lucky. Also the elervator is up and the ailerons are turning left ........., if i remember it spun into the ground ..............

[@rcchronicles25]

Ah nightmare. Well at least you know what went wrong. Once it's fixed if it doesn't fly again at least it will look great in the hangar 👍

[@stevearmett1565]

Hi guys, you didn't check your TX it will have told you everything you need to know as those receiver's have full telemetry it's a shame you didn't look at the data that would have told you all you need to know 👍 I have exactly the same receiver in my Hellcat like Captain Blaz's I have had no issues. Just shows you how sturdy these planes from Igor are built any other plane would have been a complete write off !! 😁👌

[@denniszeller2115]

The critical thing is you have shadow effects behind carbon elements, so you need to have the antennas outside as Robert said. One on each side of the plane. You wont notice the bad signal necessarily before. Salute to you guys

[@dandanthedandan54321]

Steve is spot on. When you are flying modern Spektrum equipment like you guys are using (transmitters and receivers), you can scroll into the menu and check holds/fades. Holds would have told you if you experienced any signal losses as would the light on the receiver itself had your battery not come unplugged. You don't have to guess about signal losses. The trick is you must check for this info before turning your radio off. Sounds like you were using an AR410 or AR620 receiver (both with internal antennas). Great receives for most smaller planes but not composite. Something older like the AR610 or AR6210 with satellite or newer like AR631 would work well. Spektrum used to sell a Rx made for carbon fuselages (AR6260) but I'm not sure if they still make that one or not. Looking forward to seeing that beauty fly again soon! That plane deserves it.

[@mrhilma]

I will look forward to the second flight. Perhaps a low power range check for peace of mind. It's always a comfort to me.

[@mervwebber5448]

Haha!! Awesome video as usual! I had the exact same thing happen but with an eflite f16 edf jet, but i was not as lucky to be able to drive out to the crash site. Mine lost control and flew straight into a lake a few hundred meters or more from the shoreline. And it was nearly sunset. So i had to race 10 km to home.get my little boat and electric motor and get out to it before dark. I managed to get my plane and all the pieces that were floating in the water but i did lose my spektrum 6s battery into the lake. So the morale of the story is dont fly near a lake close to sunset because things can happen! Keep up the great videos!

[@russc3288]

Not to welcome more crashes but video's like this one add a little more personal touch for your viewers. It's like we're riding along with our brothers scratching our heads at what just happened. If none of us ever make those walks and drives of shames we're not flying or having fun. Cart wheeled my P40 into the ground on take off and had the same damage. A pound of foam tac , four meat skewers , and some rubber bands to hold it together and its back in the air. Thanks for the report and letting us be a part of it. Salute Russ NC/USA

[@johncornett7575]

A big hello to my comrades from across the sea from North Carolina man I just love you guys even in your failures you find a positive in them I like the way you show the complete story from beginning to end regardless of the outcome good job guys

I love the crash site investigation video this was very interesting you turned nothing into something hope to see this plane fly again

[@JustwingitRC]

Quick! Get to the plane before the natives come and take all the metal to the scrapyard!!! Hilarious!! You guys always make me laugh! BTW, in Afghanistan, that was a real problem if a UAV went down. We had to find them QUICK because the locals would take away all the stuff! It was like a trail of ants at a picnic!!! Keep up the great work my friends and PLEASE show this baby in the air after she's repaired and you are flying this model on a GOOD receiver. She's a nice looking ship and deserves it! Cheers my brothers and all the best from your friend in the Mojave Desert! 110 degrees F....YEEEOW!!!

Damn, that’s a shame. I’ve built my own 1400mm IL2 from Foam Board and even though it looked like Frankenstein’s Monster with all the rough panel lines it flew perfect first try. It even looked the same after crashing due to an elevator servo failure. Definitely one of the best airframes at that size. Salute from Wisconsin🧀

[@sdkuty]

if there is any color balancing going on in WFB it seems like it's going for the cold-light maybe, could use some white balancing into some warmer tones. Eitherway, it needs _something_ while DJI's post processing is harsh it brings out much more detail while WFB's recoding seemed like a cloudy late fall afternoon at a cemetary before it was time to fight off the zombie apocalypse. just my 2 cents = )

[@sdkuty]

wtf, i thought i was commenting on another video.... god i hate computers AND i have to work thru these contraptions

[@DaveItYourselfChannel]

Paper Tape & Hot Glue will have that back together in NO TIME and stronger than before! NIIIIIIIIIIIICE! 😁👍

[@flyermarkbig465]

Agree 100% this happens and is part of the hobby. I do think it was a loss of signal if it was a receiver with no antenna. Round 2 use an antenna and have it go outside the fuselage.

[@hape4]

Even the bad moments of the crash are bearable with you my friends. Now we learned a few things here: The CG seemed perfect with this battery The antennaless receiver might be a bad idea in this frame Igor makes really, I mean really, really strong sturdy combat planes. Really strong.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

The bird is really strong. I will fix it and put reciever with antennas in.

Hate crashing, love repairability, they seem to fly better after a repair.

[@RobisonRacing68]

Thats pretty amazing. That hit hard and thats all the damage? A little fiberglass tape and youre back in business! I agree on your investigation Rob. I think the fuselage is at least partly made of carbon fibre and shielded the receiver.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

I have seen later on the sun that there are carbon fibers molded in fuselage.

[@andrewpotter1206]

Def needs an antenna if the fuselage is interfering with reception.live and learn!.It'll buff out,no worries Robert.Cheers you blokes.

This was my fault. Didnt use correct reciever.

[@trondaustad3075]

You boys make my day. This was not so bad after all. Its fixaball .have a nice day and weekend

[@williamrobinson7435]

The word 'composite' is a general term; it can mean a lot of different materials, but from the evidence we can see that this is one sturdy plane. It might have an element of fibreglass, or even contain some metal. That wooden motor mount could easily block a signal to a receiver designed for all foam planes. Unless the moles have developed an interference transmitter, which is unlikely because 1 if they had they would have used it closer to the runway (moles are far too lazy to walk that far and they can't drive) and 2 moles are relatively small and find it difficult to lift the tx. it looks like signal loss. The front end is very similar to a balsa plane, so a more powerful receiver is the thing, but of course you know this, I just wanted to say 'hi guys', and write some stupid stuff about ze moles. I am looking forward to the re-maiden. Big salute from London. 👍

[@free-birdrocker8809]

My pops did air safety after being a gunship pilot. LOL! You two crack me up. LOL!!! Fiberglass shell? Easy fix! That thing must weigh a ton, I'm surprised the earth didn't crack open when it hit. That bird can be fixed and flown again. Make it strong! 🤠

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

We will see it again my friend.

[@gingeralive]

Great video cant wait till you repair it and see next flight

[@snoriverrc3842]

Nice plane, I'm sure you can fix it. Nice video. I think you flew out of range and signal was weakened by the fuselage. I have noticed the same thing happens in larger thick dense foam planes and I lose signal 100 meters before I would on small planes.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Oh yeah. It was signal loss. But we will see it again in the future.

[@flyingark173]

What an awesome video, you keep it so real! "Did you have a folding prop?" from Captain Blaž...too funny🤣! Really really, thank you for making the videos that other channels would not make. You guys are the best!

[@riccicrozzie8204]

Thank you,.

[@SavyBajaBuster]

Great video guys, showing the true nature of rc flying😂😂☹👍.. If the fuselage is indeed made with carbon fibre then it would act as a faraday cage and shield the receiver from the radio signals, not the best material to use around a receiver👎😂

If the antennaless receiver is a Spektrum AR630, the failsafe can be set to autolevel with some turn and pitch. I believe this setting saved my plane. Did you have the failsafe set to autolevel?

Hmmm. I have two of the same receivers that you are using in this plane (Spektrum AR410?). Both of mine are wings, one being balsa, but the other is my Zuppa Z1 which has a lot of carbon in the frame. I am going to have to find another receiver small enough to fit in the wing with external antennas.

Considering how it went in, the damage doesn't look to be all that severe. Too bad about the battery, and maybe the motor, but the wings, tail, and fuselage body seem to be OK. I look forward to seeing this plane fly again. Thanks for the video! There's not much like the experience of making your way to a crash site, wondering what you will find. (NC/USA)

[@ИгорьБерекет]

Usually, combat pilots attach a fiberglass "tongue" to the side of the battery long 70-100 mm, which protrudes 10-15 mm ahead of the battery, and put a shock absorber (soft rubber) in front of the battery. This very often saves the battery in such cases. I do not fix the hood with screws, but fix it with adhesive tape, this still saves the hood. The hood can be carefully sealed with liquid super glue by first joining the edges of the gusts.

[@boblazarrss]
