Freewing MiG-29 Fulcrum Digital Camo Twin 80mm EDF Jet Maiden Flight failed & crash.

[@wspepsilon]

Agreed... didn't look like he had it setup correctly, never had control of it, no explanations given, it didn't "fall" out of the sky. Looked like he flew it purposefully right into the ground frankly...

[@billymartin7027]

He had the elevator connected to the outer hole instead of the middle, could this be the issue? Another crashed today with the same elevator setup.

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

And freewing is now sending out free upgrade elevator servos, and upgrading future production. The 90mm F18 had similar problems. Always wait a couple of months after release to purchase a new model. Not just for rc planes, but for any new consumer product. You can get something before or after problems are corrected, seems like an easy choice.

[@fpveverything7129]

This looks like a smear campaign by another manufacturer, so little effort made to recover, notice also how he made sure to dive-bomb right in front of the camera.

[@WarbirdFan66]

sometimes there is nothing you can do, if your elevator does not respont anymore you are out of options, its as easy as that

[@CodeByNight]

Its not a campaign. It has been acknowledged by the manufacturer that they released this airplane with servos that are too weak. In this case it is amazing he kept this thing up in there for this long.

[@rkelley8475]

It's not .. and it'd not the servos. The airframe is a pore design. The wing blocks airflow to the elevator at higher speeds . Reflex helps but it's just a poor design

[@Toth_Marton]

@@rkelley8475 No, the MiG-29 is a good design. If you fly with flaps at high speeds, this will happen.

[@leohcheung]

Insufficient up elevator throw, yet too much aileron throw, CG looks front heavy, poor takeoff run...same old story.

[@rkelley8475]

More like pore airframe design...

Why was there so little effort given to saving the plane? I have had a more unstable plane before and brought it home in one piece. Could it be an FMS representative on the sticks?

Really bro why would he not try and save 700$!!!! He would’ve pulled up

@@gavstreet8976 if you run out of elevator or your servos do not respont to your inputs your plane is lost

Ok that really sucked, but that crash was spectacular! Hopefully you can get another and try again.

[@plewisto]

Looking at his videos, he likes crash compilations. Don't understand his motivation.

[@jurass267]

This plane was not setup per the manual. The elevator push rod was put in the wrong hole in the servo arm. this caused a loss of mechanical advantage to the servo.

[@548HPCobra]

The new Freewing MiG-29 is 100% fine setup on book rates and CG. All I had to do was add a little bit of up elevator trim and mine flew great. Let's not get carried away with MCB and servo conspiracies. I'm not entirely sure this guy didn't crash his on purpose in an attempt to gain views.

No elevator control.

Pilot was out of control right from the start.

@@GuyOnTwoWheels that would explain a lot.

[@skosh25]

Sorry for your loss

[@janmb]

Indeed looks like dead elevator from the get go. And obviously zero pre-flight from the pilot. Very easy to avoid

[@divyajnana]

bummer, pilot never had it under control, looks nose heavy, had he backed off on the power, might have had a chance.

Get yourself a trainer first.

looks like you had full flaps in the whole time ,,,

[@victorrcjets7660]

maybe no time to get them up, no help from a spotter i guess.

[@sinisterM5]

@@victorrcjets7660 you don't need help from anyone to retract flaps. That should be automatic for any experienced RC pilot.

[@jacklets3851]

my guess is he didnt set it up correctly. youd think people would put more time into reading over tha manual on a 900 dollar jet

[@peterrowinski2532]

Elevator servo's locked up

[@KilchevSky]

... power system fail ... servos fail ... no flight controller ... chineese have several videos like this

[@PatBALEX]

Oh that was just nasty...

[@CodeByNight]

Not a pilot error. Servos lockup, manufacturing error.

[@laurentbleu35]

plastic is poor for a jet

[@benphillips1149]

or more likely weak design. migs are like this. high speed loses control of elevator. motion rc probably should have mentioned this.

I’m really sorry.

nope. just a classic mig design. high speed loses pretty much all elevator.
