Freewing Mig-29 Reached its Expiration Date (CRASH)

[@mnragnar]

Ricardo... You sure put a lot of drama and a lot of comedy into that video editing. I waited almost a week before following the video link. That plane sure looked great before it "expired". Great flying, great crashing, great video editing and a great sense of humor as no one or other property were harmed. As I always say... "Fly hard. Crash hard." May all your landings be gear-down. 🙂 Glenn

Crash is on you, no timer. no checking batteries before flight. No throttle management.flying too far away from you. Could have been avoided. You did it

[@ricardopr54]

No I didn't...My friend did! 👍🏾 On this particular case you are right, he got caught by the Dark Side of our Hobby and crashed his jet because he was having too much fun and failed to keep an eye on his flight time. Not all the crashes are pilot error. You could be the best pilot in the world and one day your plane sufferers a fatal mechanical failure like a defective pushrod and your plane becomes a flying piano 🎹 ... That happened 9 days ago to Brian Phillips when he was flying the new FMS SU-27 and J-11 jets...I recommend you to watch that video. We are all subject to crash any day if you are into this hobby. Nobody is exempt of this reality. If people don't want to lose their expensive investments, they should hang their planes in the wall, or get an rc car or boat, those last longer...🥴 Thanks for your comment ! 👍🏾 Have a great Thanksgiving day👍🏾👍🏾🦃 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾🌵🦠😷🇵🇷

[@jacklets3851]

If you didn’t find it till later that day it’s very likely the fact that the battery was plugged in is what drained it to 0. Simply having it plugged into all the servos and lights will drain a good amount in a few hours

[@ricardopr54]

Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your much-appreciated comment. 😀 You are correct! That was probably what drained the battery to 0%. At the moment, we thought the drained battery was the cause of the crash, but later, we found out that the motor burned out seconds before the crash. A viewer pointed out the exact moment when three smoke puffs can be seen coming out of the rear of the jet starting at around 05:20 and on... No wonder my friend Oscar was always telling me that his jet's motor smelled like something burned. After watching that part of the video closely, we agreed that a burned motor was the cause of the crash...😊 Thanks again for your very appreciated comment my friend 😁...

With decent telemetry (current, consumption, not just voltage) this sort of drama can be easily prevented. Timers prove to be rough estimations, and can lead to situations like this. Very sorry for your loss

uh, it was a Styrofoam twin propeller (in turbine housing) EDF plane. Not very expensive, I had one.

[@ricardopr54]

Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your comment. 👍🏾 This jet isn't made out of Styrofoam, but EPO foam, which is stronger. This isn't propeller driven, but Electric Ducted Fan EDF. You must be rich to find this jet cheap. Their digital camo PNP sells for $699, their ARF version of the same color scheme sells for $599, and their PNP Red Star version with thrust vectoring sells for $759.

[@eitaje]

I might be wrong, but I would disagree on your conclusion for why the plane crashed. It seems like a pilot error, badly judging the orientation of the plane just prior the crash. When the battery voltage gets too low, a normal esc would cut down the engine's power first, allowing power to the receiver and the servos, so this probably was not the cause of the crush. I guess the battery died because it remained connected for a long time after the plane had crashed.

[@ricardopr54]

Thank you very much for visiting my channel and leaving your very appreciated comment my friend 😊... You have a very valid point. The pilot claimed that he had no control over the plane at the moment of the mishap, but hey... maybe a loss of orientation at the last minute, as you said, could've been the main cause of this lamentable loss.
