Balsa USA Fokker D8 crash 1/4 scale !:(

Sorry about the foul language!! Things went well until a clinch nut pulled threw the wing and changed the wings incidence sending it into an uncontrollable death spiral!
Sorry for swearing at you Russ!! LOL!! I’m such an ass I don't’ even remember saying that!!

Cant believe how often this video pops up, even when I am not looking for it. I love that it did get a rebuild ...once at least.

Hang in there Klaus !

Scale flying, not all the Fokkers of ww1 came home.

Lol!!! Doing my part to keep it as authentic as possible!!:)

[@flyboywbl]

Sorry man. What happened? I just bought one with a saito 40cc

[@9703Ian]

I/we believe the wing struts where too tight, I believe there is mention of how travel there should be when connecting, you really had to push to get them connected. Definitely something to watch out for!! Flew great and looked great!!

[@foodstick]

Did you get this D8 back in the air?

[@9703Ian]

Yup back at it some issues to work out but things are looking up!!kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqPZkHivm6pliLc

[@JohnSmith-yb6sd]

why so many D8 crashes you aren't the only only one this has happened to I'm sure you can fly

[@9703Ian]

There seems to be a problem with the wing struts. They keep letting go.:( Going to repair and spread the mounting out to lessen the strain on them. Flys really well until they let go then it’s downhill from there!! Lol!!
