fish6634 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi All Took the apprentice out for a flight today and it ended quite badly. I couldn't seem to get it under control and after 45 seconds disaster hit the ground 3/4 throttle. Destroyed the cone, engine mount and slight damage the the elevator. Not too bad i guess cost me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turok007 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 ok what you have there is someone shouting (not helping) lol also to fast and pulling up way to much also a lot of panic. you should go to the end of the field and take off then cut power and land again do that a couple of times to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish6634 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 very good assessment mate I have to admit i was nervous before i took off and i was panicking, i was using 3/4 throttle but it seemed to be bombing around everywhere. I also have to realise that i don't need it to be clear on the ground as i am flying in the air, i seem more pre-occupied with where i need to set down as oppose to flying in the air. I think i may get the SAFE version just to get the feel of it and what i will say is i can fly it all day long on the flight simulator its completely different in real life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 in the simulator your running without any wind. set the sim up to have around 1ms of wind in a variable pattern. now have a fly around, it should be alot differnet with computer throwing random breezes around. dial the speed up untill it matches roughly what you fly in.

Fw190 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 it looks tail heavy to me did you set the centre of gravity correctly, you need to balance it, you may need to add some weight to the firewall, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
