Were the numbers on the prop, facing the front of the plane? It looks like your prop may have been backwards and spinning the wrong way. Hopefully you were able to fix it!
Originally I did before maiden, but turned around. This isn't the prop from Flite Test and what my local hobby store said would work. I am wondering if I go with what Josh uses if it would work better. Plus, I am also not using the Flite Test Emax motor but using a EFlite motor. Seems like all other Flite Test planes I have build and used the electronics they recommend and fly fine. Might be a MN winter project.
Did you check your CG and make sure it was good? I could be wrong but it looked like your plane was very tell heavy and just kept stalling out, also did you double check to make sure your prop was on the right way and your motor was spinning the right way also?
+TeckRC Thanks for the comment. -Tail heavy - yes it could be. You can see the specs that I am using a different motor and prop then what Flite Test had on theirs. The EFlite Park 370 required me to trim a few cm off the power pod so the prop would fit inside the opening. -Prop direction. With plane facing away from me, as a pusher I thought it should spin to the right with prop letters facing toward nose of plane. That didn't seem to work so I switched two ESC/motor wires around to reverse to spin left (counter clockwise), still with prop letters facing toward nose. I could now feel it pushing it.
That's a shame. I hope you get it worked out. I agree with TeckRC as it looks very tail heavy from the video. The motor your using is pretty heavy at 45g and I don't know what kind of thrust that motor generates with a 6x4 prop at just 1360kv. My F-22 mini is 349g all-up-weight with a much lighter 3000k motor, 5g Servos, and a 20amp ESC, plus my FPV system.
Clearly, your F22 was trying to tell you what was wrong with him...... Check your powerpod once again.... if you're using another plane's powerpod, they have unique thrust angles..... yours seems to be a little on the right side, rather than a perfect 0.... The FT22 amd the mighty mini series, both are good planes, that fly perfectly well I learnt to fly with elevon setting on the FT22 it had the best landing ever....

i would try a 2204 2300kv motor. that motor sounded like it was struggling to stay in the air. keep at it.
2204 with a 3cell 800 wold work

@@lleemon I'm sure its the thrust angle...
@@lleemon you might have made a mistake while cutting your Power pod, or must have used the SE5's or some other mighty mini's power pod

Yeah, hope to get one working some day, might be a winter project.

Yeah, I got it working. Just had to get battery in right spot and then enough throttle will make it fly pretty well.
@@lleemon that's nice
Sooo many crashes huh
where did you get the plans?
flitetest.com/
You are a BAD pilot
Thank you!
@@lleemon sorry I didn’t mean to be so rude. Looks like your CG was off
@@ashers_workshop no worries
@@lleemon I'm making one too!
@@ashers_workshop Good luck with the build.
