Yours are ones of the better ones for sure. Yes i watched the radian ones along with the repairs.

[@RCTaildraggin]

Thank you 👍

[@jerrybeute8884]

@@RCTaildraggini believe the radian is what i will be getting and thanks to you for actually showing what can be done with carbon to stiffen it up. I can't fly where i live because it's a landing path for the major airport by me. I have found a couple places to fly and just don't see myself using the lights on it because it's usually morning weekends that i go to the field. I wish they still made the xl or a version with out the lighting.

So glad you enjoyed the videos 👍

[@Garethfrostturkeythroat113]

Glad you got it repaired thanks for shattering with us

[@DanielCValot]

Use wooden skewers for BBQ, they work great for reinforcement

[@MarkRobinson555]

Wow, really nice repair job, very impressive 😀

[@RCTaildraggin]

Thank you Mark 👍

[@IansRCExploits]

Great repair Jerry, looks as good as new 😀👍

[@RCTaildraggin]

Thank you very much Ian 👍

Having made this same repair several times the decals can be reinstalled if you are careful pulling them off.

[@RCTaildraggin]

That's true you can, but in this case I wanted to brighten it up and make it more visible. I really appreciate your comment!! 👍

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Examine the root of the prop blades Jerry, I had one sheer following a crash so it must have had a micro-crack I hadn't noticed. By the way, did you know lighter fluid is a good solvent for cleaning up Uhu Por, careful though it'll also de-bond the joint. I'm not sure how it effects foam either, a small test may be in order. Nice repair though, well worth sharing 👍

[@RCTaildraggin]

Yes prop looks fine, fortunately is was not running and was folded at initial impact.. i always appreciate your comments Cliff!

[@RCTaildraggin]

But I will give it another look 👍

[@toddsanford7757]

Fun Videos, but there is no video after the repair job. how did it fly? did you need to add trim due to the compression damage?

[@RCTaildraggin]

It flew very well, yes I had to add a couple clicks of left rudder. Everything I own is in storage right now as we are finishing the new home and flying field of RCTAILDRAGGIN!. After we get moved I will be catching up with all of the maidens and remainders eventually. I would be happy to have you follow the house build on my same channel (latest videos). See you in the air!

It’s a shame with the regulatory requirements that we have to comply with now, that HH is not providing all their rtf aircraft with the AR637T receiver (has altitude reporting)

[@rickallio9668]

Thanks. Had same crash and damage as you did. Any tricks in reinstalling the sec?

[@jerrybeute8884]

Between this and the radian what one do you like better?

[@RCTaildraggin]

Two differant beasts. The night Radian is an awesome plane but it's flown typically like a glider.. power up, climb, and sail around. The Evolution has more performance, its 4 channel and i typically fly that one power on all the time, unless I want to coast at bit. I like both planes equally but I fly the Evolution more..

[@jerrybeute8884]

@@RCTaildraggin the radian seems flimsy in the videos It seems like it can't take much wind either. I'm considering one or the other and wish the radian had ailerons. The evolution seems more like a plane and a hot rodded one on 4s.

[@RCTaildraggin]

I've only flown the Evolution on 3s, plenty of power..

[@jerrybeute8884]

@@RCTaildraggin thanks for the input and that's all i was thinking of putting in it. Was hoping for longer glide times. It does seem like it would take more wind speed then the radian

[@RCTaildraggin]

I believe is saw a video on youtube where someone added ailerons to their radian. You could do that..

[@rickallio9668]

Should be esc.

[@marcobuonavita2757]

Salve , quale è la causa del Crash?

[@RCTaildraggin]

error del piloto Estaba iniciando un giro brusco a la derecha muy cerca del suelo y el morro descendió. Fui demasiado lento para agregar el timón izquierdo y se zambulló en el suelo. fui demasiado lento responder. también hubo rachas de viento cruzado que se sumaron a la situación.

[@gisall8205]

What actually caused the crash.

[@RCTaildraggin]

In the end, pilot error.. I was attempting a steep right hand turn, the wind caught the lower wing a bit and I got disorientated and gave the wrong input.. it happens.. the plane flies very well after the repair..

[@gisall8205]

@@RCTaildraggin Incredible. Finally a Pilot who admits personal fault for a crash, instead fabricating a pack of Lies for a wreck. You're a good man. " I " unfortunately am responsible for too many damaged and destroyed airplanes myself. Peace Brother.
