I worked for American Airlines maintenance until retirement last year. I have lots of experience with damaged A321’s and let me tell you, Airbus would be proud of your major repair! Great work and congratulations on maiden flight 2.0😀
Well actually its more a rebuild of half of the plane...
Yeah lol
Have to gotten damaged A330s?

I bet the passengers loved that smooth runway.
All passengers are now 20% shorter.
@@latmask00 haha
@@latmask00 more like 75% shorter
Dude, you need a smoother runway. But at least you're out in the middle of nowhere, which is the perfect place if you have to crash.
@@nonelost1 Its not a 737 Max, so its not going to crash twice in a row.
Now add retracting landing gear with actual shock absorbers.
Oh and put a speaker inside with a baby crying that won’t give anyone peace on the plane
@Zach Grant lmao😂😂😂
@Zach Grant "500 dollars worth of cash". Otherwise known as $500. 🙄
That would help with landing plus it would prevent fuselage damage.
Yeah and if he is smart he also puts some rubber tires on it
This is an amazing rebuild! you should make more airliners in my opinion. Keep up the AWESOME work!!!
Agreed,
Yeah, if I crashed my A321 like that I would have probably say it's a total loss while him tries to fix it, a true idol
@@Adam.340 you do be spittin facts
If I broke my RC plane I spent hours on, I would never try it again. But he just easily decides to fix it. And yes! He should try and make a 747 or A380
@@Adam.340bro? Have I ever seen you before because you look so familiar
I did not realize how *recent* this was (as of today under 2 months); you are way more diligent and patient with this stuff than I could be. As Torboli noted, you could easily (LOL) add a torsion mechanism to the nose wheel to let it pivot up a little when it hits and reduce the chance of losing control on taxi. This is some GREAT work, Troy.
Rubber wheels would be much better for that rough surface. Also, I think you had some cold solder joints around the six minute mark. Otherwise, that's a really cool project, and it looked GREAT in the air.
You really Ryanair’d the landing.
Probably an old Ryanair or spirit pilot flying for American
exactly
Nah Both actually
Aircraft: FLARE

Aircraft: RETARD
Bro but he also made it with hardwork and rebuilt it,
But the landing part nah I agree with you
@@123extraodinary I like how ur replying to my 3 year old comment lol
use flux when you solder at 6.08 ish the joints don't look like they flow very well. neat stuff otherwise.
I concure
just don't use lead free solder... lead free is brittle and requires good technique and a good soldering station.
@@zbeast lead free still needs flux to flow properly
Or just use rosin core solder... Additional flux creates unnecessary mess. You should only need to add flux if you're redoing a joint.
@@ryanokeefe12 they serve the same purpose.
Troy, you are a brave man not doing a single circuit and then checking the electrics! Not the ideal landing/take off surface. Well done on the rescue.
how about a version 2 with retracts n flaps? then id buy both stls!
Nic
that's the most realistic crash i've ever seen
I agree
0:11 Helios Airways Flight 522......
Hello, I speak from São Paulo, Brazil and your construction is just perfect, worthy of a trophy, as I am an admirer of commercial jets, I don't get tired of watching the video...you won another writing on the channel
Congratulations.
At a 1.6m wingspan this is 1:21.25 scale, and at 3.6kg this is equivalent to a real A321 taking off at 34.5 metric tons, about 10 tons lighter than the empty takeoff configuration.
I remember watching your titanic videos when i was like i think 6 or 5
Nice job! I would recommend creating a receiver battery harness with two or even three servo connectors/cables instead of just one. Servo connectors are only rated to around 3 amps, and those tiny wires aren't rated to much more. As many servos as you have you will likely see quite a bit of voltage drop through those small wires and single connector. While it would probably be fine, redundancy is a very good thing to have. I use receiver batteries on my RC helicopters and always use at least 2 wires from the receiver pack if not three.
Love how that thing flies! Great job, and also good job on getting it back in the air and utilizing feedback from your last video.
Thinking you need to have that landing gear be articulating and have some form of suspension though. That, and maybe run a Zamboni over that desert floor! :D
A zamboni on a dry lake bed much just work. A bit muddy at first, but should dry hard and smooth. (3d printed zamboni project coming up .. LOL)
Very happy to see you rebuild it. I'm pleased you are now using a totally separate system for the RX and servos. It is usually the high-power stuff that will fail before the low-power stuff! And, I see so many ESC's either have a main MOSFET failure or the darn regulator for the RX--sometimes frying the RX because the regulator shorted! One way or another the RX loses power and you lose the ship!
Also, there is an old 'Scratch-Builders' saying: "Any part you can salvage, is a part you do not have to rebuild!" I have made some miraculous repairs with about the only penalty being a bit more weight from the glue or additional supports--but I've never had it be detrimental to the flight characteristics. BRAVO--You're a good man Charlie-Brown!
Wow, I'm still amazed that you designed this beautiful plane from scratch in Fusion360. That is a feat in itself. Great video of the build, crash, and successful 2nd maiden. Would love to see you do some more full designs of other iconic aircraft. I'm sure you've learned a ton about what makes a good build and design from Eclipson, to Planeprint, to 3Dlabprint designs. Keep up the great work. I've learned a ton from your videos. Currently building the PP Eagle and Snowy Owl, as well as the Eclipson Pitts.
Truly amazing build. Just two thoughts I have:
1) The runway is very rough. I would love to see a smoother takeoff and landing of this plane on a better runway.
2) How awesome would it be to have a camera (or even better: multiple cameras) in that plane, and then fly it with the pilot's view using VR-goggles, and make nice drone footage with it? I understand that would add a bunch of electronics, which means extra work and would add to the budget needed; but the plane is easily large enough to hold such wonderful extra's.
Great video I've ordered my 1st 3D printer after watching lots of your channel a Anycubic Vyper.Been into rc flying for many years and I would recommend a watt meter for your tool box,it saved one of my models when I put an over sized prop on pulling over 100 amps on a 80 amp esc.
This guy is like MacGyver of 3D printing model planes. It's so interesting!
I love how The plane is still gliding with no engines
Glad you were able to salvage the build, came in rather hot though!
Don’t forget to shorten the wires and use a cc pack the esc also need ventilation
Yes, the Ventilation hole should be... prob near the nose gear
Best video! Show people you fly crash and rebuild. It happens but learn and move on! Good job Troy
So glad you decided to rebuild that beautiful plane! Wow, flies like it's on rails. Great work!
I think you can definitely land that thing slower, would really help with the rough runway you have
No Fuks were given to scrubbing off speed. Way to hot of a landing for me. Nice and slow saves airplanes.
I might suggest some split flaps for a lower landing speed as well as something to absorb the landing shock. I'd use a 3d printed trailing arm suspension with some rubber bands as spring force and a 3d printed rubber bumper for dampening.
This is awesome ! I subbed
Another awesome video! Great to see the liner in the air and I'm sure I'll be purchasing the STL before long. The liner could use some flaps, in my opinion, to help slow the landings. Your 3D printing future is looking busy.
Flaps would help a lot with landing and also retracts would be nice
If the battery exploded that would have looked so cool.
Add retracting gear to make it more aerodynamic to increase the trim to make it stay off the ground for longer if that happens again
Honestly, you need to find a smoother airfield, seeing you subjecting your finely-printed models to this rough terrain gives me the creeps.
I guess it also doesn't help much that you're printing your tires with the same hard filament as the rest of the plane. Maybe you could use flexible filament for that, or (even better), use real rubber tires.
Notice Troy won't answer you if you don't buy.
@@sotm6078 not looking for a reply (from Troy, or you or anyone else, for that matter). You seem to have confused me for someone who posts randomly, looking to be noticed. Not here. Just concerned about the way he mistreats his model planes. But again, not my planes to lose sleep over. Have a good day sir.
You've got a winner there! Well done!!
Hey great job! Glad you stuck with it and printed another as it really has a presence in the air. I was curious in regards to your print farm. What’s your favorite printer? I have a Prusa and CR4 but looking for a good nylon capable printer.
You have a wonderful positive attitude. This breeds success. Right on!
Well done, looks great in the air and I admire your determination to get it back into the air where it belongs 👍
I commend you for your choice of your maiden flight safe location. With any electric model aircraft, one never knows what will happen. Your work is beautiful. I wish our hobby had more modelers like you. Thank you.
Troy - great job in restoring your "Phoenix" and getting her back into the air. Nice job in determining the cause of the crash & taking corrective steps to avoid a recurrence.
bot
Maybe you need some flaps. That landing was pretty hot. Amazing build quality to hold together under the stress of that landing.
That was not a landing, was a second crash similar to the first LOL
it’s pretty hard to land in a fast speed and a rough runway
Great video, One suggestion about wire, are you using wire with high temperature insulation such as Silicon or Teflon? Then even if the wire overheats as long as the insulation doesn't melt the wires can't short together, it's a better safety factor. There are high temp woven sleeves that go over the wires also.
I'm still confused on how you stayed that calm during the crash. Nice to see it fly again :)
The crash looks real lol. thank God you got it fixed!
I normally use 12 (40 Amps MAX
Very Great Project - best wishes from Germany to you ❤️
Excellent re-build. Amazing the work, you can perform. Being on a dry lake bed is very rough on your gear. If the wheels are to scale you may want to go a size or two bigger given the conditions of the road bed. Looks matter but so does function too. Stay well.
what i like about 3d printed is that if something like this happens the repairs are easy
Retractable gears will reduce a lot of drag during flight, and increase your potential flight time.
Adding flaps will help you land much slower, but in the meantime try pull up a little bit more before touch down.
So far looks amazing! Looking forward to your next video
Its awesome to have every child dream come true u r making it work congrats for your time work and dedication over it
How about an A-10 Warthog next, great build! A warthog with retracts would be awesome.
I'm so glad you came over the crash and rebuilt it. I'm also glad you used the auxiliairy battery for reception !
Great job !
Soo cool, I've been flying edf for years and jets😊 always used 3D printing for it too and thought about 3D print a hole plane😊
Btw, have you thought about using carbon fibre rods in the fuselage instead to hold it all together ?🤔 then it would be easier to replace sections and it may be more rigid
That shot with the plane going up again gave me flashbacks
That crash was so bad I thought the pilot worked for Ryanair
LOL🤣
Same
Ha ha so funny 😐😐😐😐
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Congrats on getting this plane fixed. The runway does scare me a little, I honestly thought that the nose wheel had collapsed, after it had come to full stop, because of the dust that seemed to be coming from the nose.
You look like you could make good use of the build volume of a Ender 5 plus
Wow! That looked like an episode of air crash investigations..
Great rebuild by the way..
Need to replace the paint with Ryanair. That’d be a perfect simulator for them
Bravo my friend, you made a great job!
Probably not.
You are not only a wonderful engineer with golden hands, but also a wonderful, kind person yourself. Thanks!!!! Good luck and interesting work
From what I could see the landing gear was still plastic? Perhaps if you could get some rubber and some way of shock absorption, flaps etc... But for what you have, it's still a really impressive model aircraft which flies with perfection, and honestly it's still great either way. Keep up the good work!
Glad to see you rebuilt it. The long ESC power leads are still a concern but I have only known it to cause an issue on one of my builds when I did it on a large drone. On that drone I resolved it by extending the leads from the ESC to the motor instead of the battery lead. Grats on the successful maiden.
She flies so smooth and solid. Great achievement! Even after the landing bounce she remained composed...impressive!
I’m glad you rebuilt it
Hey man. Beautiful mechanical design and craftsmanship! But a tip... Don't hold connections with your hands while waiting for solder to cool. No matter now steady you are, you'll move a bit. That's enough for the solder crystalize as it solidifies. That's a future connection failure waiting to happen. Get or make yourself a "third hand" to hold what you're soldering perfectly still.
Good to see you fixed it.
Butter landing at the start
Winner never quit, quiters never win. Great comeback and flight. We all learn some kind of way. Keep up the great work.
This flew MUCH better than your DC3. Hate your field… that makes it very hard on the plane, all that rattling on those horrible old cracks in the dirt …. Could shake something loose, or break it, like the gear. But man does it fly sweet! Hope you’ve had some more successful flights since this video. Thanks for your generosity in sharing your experiences. Bravo.
Everyone gasta till the NTSB Aviation Accident investigates the Crashed 3D Airliner
Great plane. Need to work on the landing gear especially for that type of surface.
You land like a Ryan Air pilot! Great video!
Gotta say, that was an impressive flight on 2.0! You have a new subscriber!
The passengers loved the Ryan air landing at the start 😊
an automatic fire extinguishing system would be suitable here :)
Great project. Gorgeous model. Printing planes is an uphill battle for sure.
Remember: "After a crash, look at what didn't break, and lighten that."
This is the reason why I'm considering on getting back into RC Flying again. If you crash you can just reprint new parts for not much money. In the past you'd spend weeks building your plane then after 1 or 2 flights you crash. You then put out another $200-$500 for new parts and spend another couple weeks rebuilding your plane. Once its rebuilt you take it for a few flights and then you crash and then repeat the process all over again.
I liked the realistic way the your RC model flies, without abrupt maneuvers like other models
Awesome job! Thing looks amazing in the air!
Such a nice plane... After analysis of your prior crash. If you included added some NACA ducts in the body with some air flow tubes to the front to keep the heat out of the body and the air could exit from the APU exhaust port. Then if your flying and see a smoke trail you could land immediately. Also might cool the battery and wiring some. Some under wing stol flaps would be nice also to slow the landing speed and reduce gear stress.
Wow! The pass that went into the sunset was awesome! Add some strobe lights next!
NICE. JOB that plane is so cool nice work
This was so awesome to watch...and satisfying watching it successfully land. Nice job!
Aosm
You learned a lot from that crash, which is always good. She is flying beautifully.
Nicely done! I was quite impressed after the crash how well the fuselage sections held together. The glue functioned very well indeed! I am ordering some as I type, lol!
Great job! The important about this hobby is keep going. I would pic a better and smooth place to land.
Nice plane and great flight, captain, I wish you good luck
The crash was so unfortunate however that crash was so epic the dust made it look so realistic. Like as a full size airplane crash. awesome work bro!
Great to see your rebuild and triumphant second flight. Bravo!!!
Well done' Bud', Great stuff
Never give up well done young fellow.
What's cool is the crash damage is very realistic as well as the plane
Beautiful airplane Troy. I'm glad you rebuilt it!
It would probably be enough to be in awe of the engineering of this model from scratch, but to recover from such a crash so quickly speaks so much more! This is so, so motivating! Well done!!! I'd love to see an implementation of this with simple shocks and rubber tires if continued to fly on this dried lake though :)
Next time, use a separate dual power supply for the receiver and servos.
The nice thing about printed planes is they are easy to fix
