50% AIRCRAFT MAIDEN FLIGHT - Unfortunate Ending

[@thelightersideofrc]

Beautiful Aircraft with an unfortunate end to the maiden flight. Nick will have it back in the air again! Thanks for watching!

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Just by the start ups, balancing, and initial takeoff i would have been worried, looked like he had no business flying it yet

[@thelightersideofrc]

😎

[@rainman5034]

What a shame, although clearly tail heavy. The twitchiness of the elevator was very clear to see, and the fact that it had almost no glide says it all. Needs more weight in the nose. As they say, you'll fly a nose heavy aircraft several times, but a tail heavy aircraft only flies once. Thankfully not a total loss so I'm looking forward to seeing it repaired and back in the air again.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hopefully up again soon!

[@maxun1]

totally tail heavy.

[@1jcd]

I believe the saying goes ..... A nose heavy plane flies poorly a Tail heavy plane flies once

[@edwinator46]

it's a damn 3d airplane not a jet. people purposely build them tail heavy. that guy has zero skills. first giveaway of ignorance is giving full throttle to cold engine.

[@krotchlickmeugh627]

Thats incorrect for 3D aircraft. I have flown a 50% 3D airplane that balanced at the start of the ailerons and the only thing that told me thr CG was off was it didnt want to come out of a hover. But i fly enough to be able to handle that on a 3D airframe. Its not always true just remember that, thats an old saying from real military jet aurcraft. Not a new saying for RC's it only rings true in some airframes.

[@LouRC]

Damn, glad it wasn't a total loss. Hope you get a good CG after repairs. Good luck with it!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Not sure what stage the owner is at with it.

[@charlesharter3068]

The best take away on this is, it's an RC... nobody dies in a crash. Tough luck, guy, Fix the problem, I'd like to see this beautiful monster back in the air soonest!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Great point and well said Charles!

[@maljohn6584]

Thanks guy's for sharring this clip with us Lovely aircraft. With 40 years of R/C FLYING its happens to all of us at some time. In this great hobby I lost my large tucano just like that after flying it for 12 years at the club field and maney years at shows. The engine just died and could not make it back to the landing strip. Realy glad it was only miner damage hope to see it on KZbin tube again. Beat regards .

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks MAL! Yea if your flying them they all have an expiration date! Sometimes it's 1 flight unfortunately.

[@eddier9455]

Just came across this. I left the hobby some 30 years ago. I would never have added weight like that to balance the model out, lighter the plane the better. Always moved the RC gear (battery/servos/receiver) to help balance. The aircraft looked unstable as soon as it left the ground and no surprise it dropped like a stone.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Simply tail heavy.

[@Public_land_trail_cams]

@@thelightersideofrc Yes, needed more weight in the front. With the deadstick, still might have tore it up. Cool plane though.

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Jonathan, I really feel for Nick. I was thinking the worst, once it went out of sight during the landing. Glad it wasn't as serious as it seemed. Hope to see it again once it's repaired. You and Katie stay safe.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Don. Yea he did a great job under the circumstances! Hopefully back flying again soon!

[@timothykodysh6510]

After many years of RC disappointments myself, I have some advice that's appropriate here. When you build up this aircraft, you don't position the wing to the fuselage until you get close enough to load everything onto the air frame control surfaces, just tape them in place the engines, and then find that spot that the wing is to be all outside because of its airfoil and then you locate the fuselage on top the wing where it's balanced, you won't have any weight to add that forward and reverse balancing of the wing loose under the fuselage allows you to set the balance perfectly works like a charm and every time no matter the size of the aircraft all right good luck

[@thelightersideofrc]

Not sure what stage the owner is at with it but hopefully he gets it up again!

[@darrenoliverio7259]

what in the hell are you talking about? and Please use puctuation and a likeness of coherent sentence structure.

[@user-TJ365]

Giant round cowl needs some baffling to force the air over the cylinder heads especially the rear set of heads. You’d be surprised how fast a 2 stoke with no airflow heats up under full power.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea good call!

[@bluecamaross]

Damn thing had the glide slope of the Space Shuttle!

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Nice! Well put 😂

[@brettbuck7362]

It was massively tail-heavy. Airplanes like this can tolerate a reasonable aft CG, but there's a limit. Classic "buy and fly" RC flier, doesn't know the first thing about what he is doing.

[@flooded3456]

Dick Sizer is the developer of the 280 black flame engine. He originally had the engine made for a P51 racer he designed.

[@thelightersideofrc]

[@JamesBaker-q1h]

Soon as the engine quits, put the nose down and pick up speed. Speed is life.

[@thelightersideofrc]

👍

[@petermach8635]

The engine might have stopped, but the centre of gravity was well off, there was very little stability shown in the climb-out.

[@thelightersideofrc]

For sure!

[@brianemery8945]

Ouch. Engine was NOT ready for a maiden And she was definitely Tail Heavy. Happens to all of us eventually.. I had a flame out on my twin engine beechcraft d18. Similar scenario. All repaired and flying again. As I'm sure this one will be soon. Good luck on the re maiden!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea didn't look that bad. Hopefully it get's up again soon.

[@welbedacht]

[@thelightersideofrc]

Nick did very well! Hopefully up again soon!

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Very happy it wasn't a total loss.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea totally! We were all very happy when we walked up to it in the field!

[@mickbroad9973]

You did well to land it as such. I think a combo of less throw and move cg forward fpr next flight until you can at least get a feel of whats going on. Also im sure it wont be easy but maybe a ramp you could put fuse on with engine running to check its not leaning out. I know they shouldnt but most of mine do to sone extent. Also reccomend air dam in cowl to force air onto cylinder and a large exit for warm air to escape. All in all a shame for the damage but hope to see these minor issues resolved and the re maiden done.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea Nick did a great job. It was a tough one for sure. Not sure if any repairs or changes have happened since the incident.

[@DEeMONsworld]

engine out was only one issue, obviously it was tail heavy as well, lucky ending.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea, correct. It will fly again!

[@Hyprmtr]

A 39x12 seems like a lot of prop for that 280cc. My 342cc turns a 36x15 @5100 on the ground and 6050 in the air. What RPM does that 280 turn? Maybe it over heated?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Better questions for Nick. When we see the next flight will try to discuss

[@lowtus7]

Tail heavy, what a shame. Hopefully she flies again!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hopefully soon!

[@stefanosavoia9144]

Glide as good as a rock!

[@thelightersideofrc]

😂 pretty much!

[@pauld5530]

Surprised how steep the glide slope was on that thing. Very unfortunate but looks like she’ll live to fly again! 👍🏻😎

[@dinozuzic1765]

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Dino! Shouldn't take much!

[@emanuelmota7217]

Beautiful Sukhoi! Would love to see the re-maiden. Definitely looked tail-heavy, though. And needs a pilot figure!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hopefully we will see it this coming flying season! Yea it was tail heavy.

[@timothykodysh6510]

so I agree with tail heavy, and with that pitching going on you could have caused the pick up in the tank to become airborne just long enough to starve the engine Once again, good luck just don't connect the wing to the fuselage until you know where it's perfectly balanced on the fattest part of the airfoil

[@thelightersideofrc]

👍

[@RedLineFPV]

I’d like to see a video of the inside of this plane and how it’s built! I’m considering building this kit! Also waiting on the video of the second flight!

[@thelightersideofrc]

When the second flight happens we will do some interior footage. I may be building Nicks second kit for him so there would be videos

[@TalkingGIJoe]

nice field!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 😊. Lots of changes the past 2 seasons but getting better all the time!

[@richardnikolussi1562]

My 90" mxs R had the Same end two days ago. Ill fix It of course. Its only the landing gear.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Oh NO! Nick has to do a but of Fiberglass repair on the bottom but will fly again.

[@herryrachmad6597]

Before the rc plane hard to land due to dead stick, i guess the ballance of the aicraft need to be adjusted, wish the plane soon fly back in air mate

[@thelightersideofrc]

CG is oh so important! He had it set tail heavy.

[@herryrachmad6597]

I do agree

[@DoRC]

Nose heavy flies poorly. Tail heavy flies once.

[@thelightersideofrc]

🙌

[@ETKSauron]

Am I the only one that thinks that that plane would sound/look better with a radial? Still...badass plane and sucks on the crash!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Oh HECK YEA!!!!! That would be outstanding!

[@krotchlickmeugh627]

Radials wont produce the power to weight that a 3D aircraft needs. Too heavy for too little power. If youre smart enough (and own a machine shop) you can make that two stroke sound a lot, lot better

[@hankdurrer5650]

whats the status on the A 10 build?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Resuming very soon.

[@davidhollfelder9940]

Engine leaned out .. still a bit tail heavy?

[@Georgesvangansen]

looks a bit tail heavy!

[@thelightersideofrc]

We were chatting about it. Nick doesn't use any expo so the initial up and downs were his fingers getting used to the feel.

[@tomling9310]

@@thelightersideofrc how come he doesn’t use any Expo mate?

[@XxmillerniaxX]

@@thelightersideofrc After watching it a few times he really didn't have the Airspeed to do much after the motor quit and he was still climbing. Each to his own with the expo though, I just find its a lot easier to finesse models with a bit of expo even on the first flights.

[@anthonyj3d]

That engine did sound a little lean to me on the video maybe a little richer would make it a bit better looked to have plenty power till it stopped He did well models that big dont genrally float very well looks a relatively easy repair shoule be back out n flying in no time

[@JEK134]

Try using a Vanessa rig to check the CG. Helps a lot on bigger aircraft and the plum bob will show exactly where the CG is on the plane. Sucks for the unscheduled landing but that’s part of the hobby.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 😊. Great suggestion!

[@josephkerkau2520]

Sounds like you needed to work on the motor conditioning a little bit better. But, he handled it really well !!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea. For sure. Surprisingly good outcome!

[@eaglekeeper7737]

No it didn't it was clearly tail heavy.

[@ginginthing]

I could see that coming before he took off. The idle was set way too low. It cut off twice in the test run up when at idle.

[@thelightersideofrc]

and tail heavy.

[@ginginthing]

@@thelightersideofrc thought he put some steel plate under the engine to take care of the balance. But it did fly like it was still tail heavy. Or should i say, didn't fly without power?

[@thelightersideofrc]

@@ginginthing you can see it on takeoff. Tail didn’t lift properly

[@slayerforprezy4664]

Need to address the over heating issue To much air goes away from the engine Cylinders Direct all air flow directly to the cylinders Also it sounded lean over reheating very hard to get right just my opinion Do not give up more homework it will be worth it Beautiful airplane take note to full-scale airplane and how they duct the air through the engine compartment

Looked completely unstable if you ask me, unless he controls without finesse or doesnt understand the trim. No such thing as a rock, just get that nose down. But it will fly again so all good.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hopefully soon!

[@BillCranford]

I’ve learned to always be descending when the engine power goes out. Don’t pitch up trying to make the runway. Pilot did all he could, dead stick + tail heavy 😬 yikes 😱

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea! Decent outcome under the circumstances

[@free-birdrocker8809]

For full sized birds, a pre fright is always done. A pre flight might have been necessary. The bird was acting funny on climb out.. Sounded like it was not making full power...

[@thelightersideofrc]

Many years ago i did the 72" goldberg suhkoi. Can confirm, they dont glide for shit.

Thats total bull. They have a fantastic glide! Just have to put it in low rates pr youll stall it. I mean watch it again. He had too much throw on the elevator and bled all of his airspeed when he tried to pull up or accidentally pulled up instead of pointing the nose down and just flaring at the last moment to be able to get the landing right.

If your going to do a airplane that big, why not just get a full size. Myself I like planes in the 6 ft ( 2 meter for you Canadians) range easy to move around, fly pretty well, not to expensive and loads of fun. I do respect everyone else's likes and Nick certainly is a good sport. I trashed a relatively expensive pattern plane about 30 years ago and gave up RC and got a real plane. It scared me, back to RC and loving it.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hello Phil. Yea that's a valid point and a common question. I think it's 2 totally different worlds. With what we pay for some of these turbine aircraft many people ask that question. Why not full size. Many do both but it's a different experience flying a model from the ground and a full size.

[@phil4620]

@@thelightersideofrc Yea your right, totally different, but the machine is the same. I like when a full scale pilot tries to fly a model. I think its easier for the model pilot to fly full scale, but a lot more dangerous.

It's a shame, but it's an acrobat and the drive needs to be addressed. Aside from the misaligned centre of gravity, the engine power is lacking. A two-stroke engine is used and the exhausts make the power. There is a reserve. I wish you success.

[@krotchlickmeugh627]

@@edwinator46 as a master tech. That adage comes from the racing world. It is specifically from forged pistons and cranks. The process of forging metal of any kind inherently traps energy (atleast thats how i can explain it easier but is not 100% correct) That process makes the metal much stronger. However when forged metal especially pistons get warm they expand a hell of alot more than cast aluminum which is what your car has in it. With cast aluminum we set clearances very tight hence the reason for 0w-30 oil and such on modern cars. 0 being the wight of the oil at operating temperature and 30wt at freezing. But with forged pistons especially when it comes to two strokes if you start them and dont let them idle. The pistons will quite literally slap the cylinder walls when you increase the rpm. Catastrophic failure or cold seizing is a very common issue on race motorcycles and race cars with forged internals.
