The VERY 1st thing to do with a new aircraft, BEFORE you do any dumb manoeveurs, is to TRIM it out. Or, even before that, is to make sure your CofG (Centre of Gravity) is correct.
I would recommend reading through the AMA Park Flier guidelines. Nearly every airplane also comes with some basic flying instructions, and recommendations for the size of field and conditions for safe operation of the aircraft, frequently, warnings about power lines, light poles, trees, and other obstacles to avoid. Since this has happened before, it should go without saying that obstacles such as light poles are likely prone to cause serious problems, often, especially in poor lighting conditions, it becomes difficult to clearly determine the distance between the aircraft and the obstacle, which leads to this specific kind of collision. I would definitely recommend that you find a better field to fly. I hope you are able to fix your airplane, it’s a decent aircraft, it also may be a good idea to equip it with a set of LED lights to help you navigate while flying. You may find that they may help you fly particularly when the sun is in the process of setting. Happy flying! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨✈️
Did anybody else see that pole lean right into that airplane. I did. It literally reached over and smacked that airplane right out of the sky. Same thing happened to my ERATIX.
The flying wasn't too bad for beginner kids teaching themselves to fly. I've seen men do a lot worse when learning at a club field with an instructor. Suggestions: 1.) Too windy for a beginner to fly a plane of that size. 2.) Mark your CG on the wing and balance to it. 3.) Get yourself Realflight RC simulator on a PC to practice and crash, then go to the field. 4.) Suspect you wanted to hit that pole. 😉
Damn poles are rc plane magnets lol Definitely can't blame the plane on this one, the carbon cub flys great, the 5000mah brick might not be the best choice though 🤔 I had a servo horn pop off the elevator on my newest homemade plane yesterday and it nose dived into asphalt and destroyed the nose, thank God it didn't bend the motor shaft though and I was shocked the prop didn't break, to bad I didn't catch it on video, lol and that's the first time I flew it while not recording 🤦🏻 Glad the carbon cub didn't get destroyed, a new servo a little glue and it will fly like new 😁
@@leifvejby8023 Didn't say he shouldn't, I just laughed. I have the predecessor plane. And with a larger prop and ESC got 8 min of flying time on a 3s 2800. When flying with a 3s 1800 I'd get about 4-5 minutes. But with that plane the weight different between the 2800 and 1800 was very noticeable for aerobatics. To each their own. 🙂
@@icin4d I used to fly electric, 35 years ago. Got about 70 minutes out of 4.8V 2.4 A/H nicads. Same model with new engine, new batteries and new electronics would probably do 10 - 12 hours.
Carbon Cub is such a good flier. Mine had geo fence which helped a lot learning. This will get you into edf jets, if that’s what you like. Glad it all worked out.😊
Some of these folks in the comments are extremely concerned with the quality of your flying. It's as if it reflects on their own abilities and/or impacts their own experiences while flying.
I've learned to NEVER trust my depth perception the hard way also!!!!! But 5K Mah????? Tooo heavy man!!!!!! unless you're in big winds anyways, then wing loading is your friend! LOL
Funny. I got into R/C in the late 1970's. Multi-channel fully proportional radios (which enabled this kind of flying) were in their second and third generations from the leading manufacturers (Futaba- Kraft- Multiplex- Proline- JR- Heathkit and others). Nobody was flying electrics back then- all Nitro- some bigger models were using small gas engines from weed-cutters and other small gas engine devices (nobody made gas engines for the hobby). Back then, as is now, and as is with this plane here- nobody REALLY cared about using an engine just big enough to fly the model- the bigger the engine the better. My earlier days were before the "3D acrobatic" planes hit the scene, and for this kind of "Throwing sticks" flying, people few small "sport" planes like the Sig Four Star (as well as many others). Those planes were considerably heavier than today's ultra-light foamies and were not as forgiving- if you let the airspeed drop too low, or yanked back too hard on the stick in a turn- you were going to stall or snap-spin the plane, and it was going to fall AT LEAST 50 ft. before you could recover- after a few major plane repairs, you learned to fly at about 100ft AGL or higher. You boys have it a lot easier! Keep having fun, and stop flying your planes into poles. ;-)
As a Carbon Cub S2 owner wind doesn't matter. Trim it in the air, land and physically trim the linkages to match and reset transmission trims. Repeat till perfect. Should fly flat and level at half throttle.
OK you have been doing this for a long time.... So have I, two problems here... Weight and a very inexperienced pilot (make that "operator") @@johnnichol9412
Cool vid cool ppane haha i cant believe it squezzed in that bat bay lol my bud had one of these but it was a lemon and did all sorts of weird crap haha smaller battery and you will be good to learn everything with that plane. Does yours have the geo fencing? Not sure if that helps or not imo it is another thing to fail. New supporter here looking forward to the next episode ❤❤❤👊🏼
and soon to follow these clowns will be more laws for RCers
Brain dead

With a 5000 mah Brick... In this airframe... NO amount of trimming is gonna fix that... the problem is at the end of the TX sticks....
@@old_coastie Yep, the brick is too thick with this one Obi-won! 🙄

From their laughter it seems like they dont care about their plane...
5000 mAh battery is by far to heavy for this plane. You risk this way a stall.

I can say from similiar experience that depth perception doesn't improve with age.
That's hilarious. A 5000mAh battery in that! 🤣
What in the Heck was he thinking?????
Why not, it has plenty of wing and power - and he won't have to land and charge all the time.

I did this to my umx timber today, smashed it right into a telephone line. Bits of glue later and it's good to go. Nice plane!
jeezus. ever hear of 'TRIMMING the dam elevator', so that the model flies level at a nominal throttle setting.!
Carbon Cub is such a good flier. Mine had geo fence which helped a lot learning. This will get you into edf jets, if that’s what you like. Glad it all worked out.😊
Mine flies really well on a 3S 2200 lipo on wheels or on floats. That 5000 battery is simply ridiculous.
Wow what a fabulous place to live with those mountains. Yes its heartbreaking when you crash your RC! Were you able to fix it up? Hi from Oz.
Yeah some hot glue and a new prop, flies like new.
@@westmountainmotorsports Great thats what I like to hear.
I have similar light pole where I fly too. I seem to hit them often without even trying. Ya jinxed him!!!
Great airplane. Surprised the battery fits. Fun video
Did they fly it over a highway before the crash ? It a wonder why the FAA want to install remote id onto planes and drones

Those poles are like magnets for planes...that sux...hope is wasn't too bad and you was able to repair it.
Made me laugh
I'd try to find a flying area without obstructions.
How bad was the damage? Will she fly again?
Yeah it will fly again, cracked tail spar- we just hot glued it and bought a new servo for the rudder.

You guys are in Utah, huh? I recognize those mountains anywhere. I'm in Utah county
Yeah, we are in south Utah county.
Bad pilots😅
What state are you in ????
A state of mental ineptitude, I'd say! 😜🤣🤣
the state of learning,,,,,,,,,,,,
Dude... You got one heck of a lot to learn about flying RC Planes.... SMH...
Embarrassing
