E-Flite Havoc DESTROYED in seconds while taking off!

[@RCPlaneAddict]

Wow. Rough. Those jets can be so dangerous. I’m glad no one got hurt. You will get it next time. Cheers

[@richardrambahal4246]

Sorry to see that happen, glad to hear that Horizon replaced the airframe!

[@TheTonester2312]

Maybe you should of gotten an rc car instead. better luck next "flight".

It happens I still fly mine with the connector plates in. No problems at all.

[@keithphillips1234]

Ok so the reviews have me bothered. I downloaded the bulletin that says to take the plate out toss it and connect the connectors directly. Makes sense. I just ordered mine 3-26-2020 and just started researching reviews and started to freak out. This will be my third edf with only 2 weeks under my belt so I’m not prepared for a $400 plunge to the ground I will definitely use safe for a bit and have it assigned for a possible bailout if possible. Is there anything I should know before I get mine next week? Any tips will help thank you. Oh and my main reason for buying this was bc they advertise 10 minutes on a 7000mah with good throttle management. Is that true or false. Thx

[@dustyedmunds5134]

keith phillips hi there I’m very happy with this jet it flies great. I use a 6000 mah battery and I can squeeze about 6.5 to 7 minutes but I’m on the throttle quite a bit. This was my second jet ever flying and I definitely suggest safe mode for back up! It’s very quick and before you know it it’s pretty far away. One thing to look out for is hard landings with the nose wheel! The retract is just screwed to a piece of plastic that’s glued to the foam up in there. Other than that I’ve had successfully full flights every since this crash day. It’s a great jet your gonna love it. Happy flying

[@keithphillips1234]

Dusty Edmunds yes I’m a believer in safe, especially till I get acquainted with a new plane. Flying isn’t a issue with a plane or a edf. It’s landings some are smooth and some bounce. It’s hard to land a edf smooth unless you’ve been able to fly several times over and over to learn how to land each one. At least that’s my experience. I did contact horizon however last week and they said the box should have a green sticker indicating it’s been fixed for the servo wires not making good contact so we shall see. I’m pretty excited tho. And nervous.

I fly 12 different jets for a few years now Including a havoc Ive never repeat never gotten more then 5 min. And that was with alot I repeat alot of off throttle flying which this particular jet does not like .my recommended aircraft would be the arrows 64 mm has flaps flys great and is extremely tough Or the new Habu which I've flown for a friend which comes out of the box setup as a edf trainer Just my 2 cents .Havoc is not a first timers jet

[@aerospacematt9147]

@@charlesrestivo870 What battery are you using? They say you can fit an 8000 mAh in the battery compartment, so maybe with more milliamperes you could get 8-10 minutes of flight.

[@jacksonrcaviation]

Hey it happens, we all have crashed my friend.,thanks for sharing I subscribe to you thanks again 😎

[@dustyedmunds5134]

JACKSON RC AVIATION awesome thanks! Yeah it was actually quite funny looking back now. 🙂 we determined that it was faulty plugs where the wings attached to the fuselage! Apparently it was a common thing for the Havoc but Horizon has fixed the issue. And actually sent a new wing and fuselage to replace it!

[@austinkaye648]

Do you happen to have the nose cone still? Im in need of one for mine.

[@dazspurs9899]

Never a great idea to take off on a rough uneven surface

[@RCModellflieger]

Oh no😢 liked and subbed you and Hope you got a new one👍🏻

[@dustyedmunds5134]

RC Modellflieger oh yes I think we have three of them now and love to fly them all. Thanks for the sub

[@RCModellflieger]

Dusty Edmunds thanks, Hope you subbed me too☺️👌

[@dustyedmunds5134]

RC Modellflieger oh yes I subbed right back!🤙

[@lowkeycamo]

lol poor John

[@dustyedmunds5134]

LowkeyCamo haha yeah it hit him in the crotch haha 🤣

[@randomlymadeanimations52]

How did that happen? ;w;

[@dustyedmunds5134]

I ship l i f e L o v e. This jet was one of the first ones that had issues with connection plugs not getting fully connected where the wings attaches to the fuse. We didn’t know at the time that these Havocs had that issue. This was the maiden flight. So we contacted horizon and we explained what happened and the were aware of that issue and replaced the wing and fuse for free. Now the connections are different and they now give plug locks that snap on and holds them tight together. So the jet was taking off and it just freaked out with no control and actually hit the pilot in the lower area of the waste ☺️. He was in pain but he lived lol. I tried my best to get everything on camera but it happened so fast I could only run away.

[@randomlymadeanimations52]

Dusty Edmunds, oof... hope everything turns out ok for y’all ^-^

[@dustyedmunds5134]

I ship l i f e L o v e. Oh yes everything turned out great. Completely rebuilt and flew it several times since then. Flawless flight every time. Thanks for the comment

[@randomlymadeanimations52]

Dusty Edmunds UwO

[@BBFPV]

Nice spot to "fly" dude 🙄

[@dustyedmunds5134]

Big BOOST FPV actually it’s an amazing spot! Right behind the camera is 40 + acres of open fields and no houses around for miles! He has had hundreds of perfect take offs and landings! This was an issue with electrics Would have been a lot worse if he would have been at a club with more people around! Glad it happened here instead of our rc flight club!

[@BBFPV]

@@dustyedmunds5134 I couldn't even drive my car there. 🤣

[@Bidyoworks]

Get an rc tank

[@ScramblerofMunich]

Man sollte vielleicht erstmal mit einer Apprentice oder Ähnlichem anfangen bevor man sich an so eine Flugzeug wagt 🤦🏻‍♂️
