I GOT REAL STUPID HERE!!!
Well saved after all! Low and slow is always scary, but you can reduce the risk the way you do with tail draggers - keep the mains off the ground until the tail is as low as you can get it. Stall is determined by angle of attack, not by speed as such. That angle will be specific to each airframe, and designers who know their stuff will make the main gear legs just long enough to accommodate a full stall landing without a tail strike, which makes a useful indicator: If the tail is nearly level with the mains, there should be very little excess lift to bounce the plane. Happy flying, and good luck with the nose job!
I want to say thank you for this advice. Makes a bunch of sense. Thanks
I’ve had that jet and it’s notorious for bouncing in the air and going into a tip stall. After you see a bounce like that the only way to possibly save it is to throttle out and hope it comes out of it.
True good thing I got lucky on the damage.
You’re not wrong. I just wrecked a FMS f-18 70mm. Put it all back together with a bottle of CA, the jet actually does fly better now. Or I’m just more aware of the characteristics and tendencies of the jet.
A minor crash takes that edge off and now you feel you just want to fly it like you stole it now....lol
I don't normally watch EDF videos, but the title sucked me in. I know you're happy, but I was expecting to see more damage.
So, what would you say cause the crash?
I should have had a.better approach and a better angle of attack needed my tail down more with a more effective flare.
You should do a viper landing tutorial , all the videos I watch of this show it’s a harder to land plane and everyone has some pretty big bounces
Thanks I try but need a lot more practice before I teach. Thanks for the vote of confidence however.
My 70mm viper looks like frankensteins monster it's been busted up and glued together so much. It's just a tough jet to land
LOL yep they are tough!!

You forgot to flare on the last landing
Yep
Don't worry fats I got stupid many times this past season and look fwd to getting even dumber next season..nice flying tho and that happens. Merry Christmas bud!!
If you had fun and can stomach the damage then it is worth it.
@@FatGuyFliesRC to be honest I dont get upset much anymore. Its part of the hobby and there are more important things to worry about. However the price of these birds are to the point that its not even worth it. thanks again
Bonjour quel dommage heureusement pas trop de dégâts c'est le train avant qui a touché en premier voilà pourquoi il a repondi on le vois sur la vidéo Bonne réparation a bientôt
Oui, l'avant a tapé du premier au début, provoquant tout l'épisode. Seul le cône avant était endommagé et déjà réparé. Merci et je la ferai voler à nouveau bientôt.
Awesome. Which FMS jet you pick if you are going to pick only one. I was going for FMS Sabre based on reviews then every video I see there is different favorite claimed by the video maker. Thanks
I pick the FMS 80mm Sabre also now I just need to be able to fly her again beyond the first couple of flights!
@@FatGuyFliesRC thanks a lot. Wish you best fun
The viper 90 is amazing jet , I gatta fly mine more , great flight 🛫
Thanks 👍 and yeah it rocks
