Nate demolished this beginner RC airplane during his maiden takeoff, and in this video he talks about that experience a little bit more. However, he is out for redemption, so he is ready to take this RC plane on again in this web redemption episode with the FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

This plane is my favorite high wing on every level. When they’re back in stock I’m getting another one and dedicate one to float-flying. This is one awesome plane.

[@miltcharlton2645]

I found the bigger 1800mm FMS PA-18 much easier to crash than the Apprentice. The PA-18 taught me to keep speed up on the turn to final. Now I have another FMS 1800mm PA-18 and am flying better. I would not call these beginner planes but it is a great plane once you get the hang of it.

Move the clevis one hole out on the elevator, or one hole in on the elevator servo yoke, that should calm it down a little.

[@ksmith8019]

More landings please! I have learned to quit flying with full flaps, especially on takeoffs. 1/2 works fine and is even suggested in some of the manuals? For these beginner type planes I love since I fly off of gravel roads I usually don’t even use flaps if there is any headwind. Otherwise, I use 1/2 flaps on the majority of landings. Just watch other people fly them, full flaps and most often they will bottom out in the last 1-2 ft. I do practice with full flaps just for fun, but it requires constant throttle input. Thanks for showing both sides of flying crunchy foamies!

When you lose elevator, you need altitude for throttle to maybe help save the day. On take off right after initial lift (while still gaining speed) flaps deployed or not...tough situation. Let the haters be haters who cares! Nice plane otherwise. I have the 1700mm and love it.

[@TheRcSaylors]

That’s good to hear about your 1700mm version! Yeah, I’ve played this over and over in my head quite a few times. I think IF I deployed flaps at the right time, I MAYBE could have saved it and possibly landed it. Just wish my brain worked faster in the moment. Thanks for watching! 👍😎⚓️

[@kentbarnes1955]

It is fitting that as I watcherd/listened to this tonight I have been reviewing various RC plane "plans" (yes...build it type plans). I have determined that 2023 WILL be the year I get back into fixed wing RC. Indeed I have ordered a Night Radian (using the link from your video) and picked up a Great Planes PT-19 (Balsa/Covering) ARF from a friend who runs a hobby shop here in middle Missouri. For the Night Radian I had hoped to set it up with my old Spektrum radio...but at the end of the day decided I will order a new Spektrum transmitter (do you have a 6 or 8 channel Spektrum YOU would recommend) and the recommended receiver (there is also a company that makes a module you can use to "change" the lights in flight...so that might also be a thing). For the PT-19 I'm ordering the power plant/system and a couple servos (and hope to have it air worthy in a couple weeks...I've got a mostly modern 8 channel Futuba system I'll control it with). I'm looking through my plans as I DO have a "60" size motor/ESC that could be used...and thought it might be nice to actually BUILD something to put it in (I used to love building more than flying). Thanks for your continued honest reviews. Praying all in your family are well...and Abby is doing great with the pregnancy. God bless. (Oh...with regard to the "negative" comments from your earlier maiden of this plane...it's not "angry pilots"....is just angry people...with 3.25K subscribers....I fear you will have some malcontents at times). And I concur on the AMA membership. I appreciate mine.

@@TheRcSaylors Oh yes, I missed that part of it. Seems like as a RTF model with flaps that they should have baked that into the receiver or something.

[@warbuzzard7167]

You should NEVER take off a foamy with any flaps at all. They are so light that they don't need any assistance to get off the deck, which you will do at far too low a velocity to maintain a good climb rate without tip-stalling... so you'll rail on the throttle, which will roll the airframe no matter how much counter-rudder you give it. Just leave the stupid flaps up! Take off naturally - no need to plow a bunch of throttle into it! No need to try and yank the thing off the deck in 10 feet at 9 mph!

[@incubrian]

nobody cares dude. chill.

[@warbuzzard7167]

I decided I was tired of repairing aircraft from them taking off before they had enough airspeed to properly climb out. You must not have had your fill yet and enjoy a nice ugly tipstall after a 4' takeoff roll. But that's OK. You do you. I'll let my aircraft roll out and gain flying speed. Maybe get fewer repairs in the process.

[@ToastyProductions.]

Not gunna lie I love taking off with flaps super slow and a slow climb it's just beautiful looking

[@rgr4475]

If you want to fly a STOL scale then you do want to use flaps. Not a problem if the plane is set up right with an elevator mix and if you are a good rc pilot. Needed? No but nothing wrong with using flaps for take off.

[@stevecox4465]

Not sure your crash was directly as a result of the servo. If it was dodgy why didn’t you change it first? It leapt into the air as you rotated with full flaps and loads of power. As you keep saying the elevator is responsive so I imagine on your first flight you over did it. You even said that you removed power and flaps when it was climbing - removing power when vertical is only ever going to result in gravity winning! Understand the laws of physics and don’t keep blaming a servo for pilot error! I then noticed in this video you did your full flap take off with stabilisation on! That nice climb after takeoff was probably then gyro restricting your climb rate!! I believe that to be misleading.

[@matthewrathbun6332]

Not at all. the gyro didnt do this. cheap parts. Servos fail. even 29g futabas fail. go fly and see.

[@darkiee69]

Move the clevis one hole out on the elevator, or one hole in on the elevator servo yoke, that should calm it down a little.
