I Crashed my Giant 3d Printed Plane!!!

  • This isn't the video that I was hoping to make but thats just the way RC planes go sometimes. I am starting to question the uses of 3d Printing in this hobby.. I know this example may have had underlying flaws but its also helping me understand the extent and longevity of these newer building techniques and materials. There have been already advancements in designs and printing in general.. the materials are also starting to advance and I'm liking some of the newer offereings in specialty filaments. the buliding process is one side of the hobby that I really enjoy. With only a few years under my belt, flying fixed wing aircraft, I'm trying to get as much practice as I can with the collection of other planes that will handle my learning process. crashing just seems to be the stage im currently dealing with. I hope you can all enjoy a little bit of my struggles in flying these things.
    at the end of the day... we are just bug kids playing with our toy airplanes

    That was just a stall of the right wing. Probably not the lightest plane and that maneuver may have been a bit too aggressive for the speed you were flying at.

    I use 3D printed parts for cowls and canopies mostly in combination with foam board or balsa for strength and stiffness. Carbon fiber tubes for spars works well. Your wing may have flexed too much and caused the stall. Your plane looked cool!

    dont like thers plane thin and weak better to get from planeprint thers plane is build whit lwpla and construkted like foam plane and werry light and righid builds

    It's an EDGE 540 plane

    Accelerated tip stall. You try to correct and it makes it worse. Some aerobatic planes are worse than others. Good luck on the next print!

    That's the problem with 3D printed planes especially if you used PLA to print it, PLA shatters when crashed.
    I use ABS for planes and multirotors, way stronger and doesn't shatter like PLA 😊

    3d printed planes are just bad. Compared to foam, balsa or even foamboard models they are heavy and insanely brittle. I remember pulling out my ft viggen from dirt for like 10 centimeters deep and it only needed a nose rebuild. For aerobatics just build a balsa model. Yes 3d is cool but an aertobatics plane is not supposed to stall like that, that's the point.

    95 degrees isn't good weather for aerobatics, thin air and all.

    That's a shame.
    I also crashed my 3D aircraft, the WACO YMF-5, the other day.
    I was flying too fast and the tail blew off.
    3D aircraft need to be reinforced in the details.
    I hope you continue to enjoy great flights.

      @@rinku1n1n its all part of the hobby. I got plenty other toys to play with. Fly, crash, build, repeat

    The Ole lost something. No it was you.

    We’re pulling but it wasn’t pulling? Did I understand correct? If so, you pulled to much and the elevator stalled. Only way to recover is to stop pulling and gently pull the plane out of the dive. Hoping you have air enough under the plane.

    • @GEARHEADFPV

      Too much elevator...probably. but more the 3d print failed cause of it. Doesnt matter now...its in the garbage bin. On to the next one!

    crazy take.. go crash a horizon this hard. same thing. the plane is also heavy and outdated.. you said you had an 8-cell battery in there man. it flew like a rock. 3D printing is the future of this hobby. getting better by the day, literally.

    • @GEARHEADFPV

      They are getting better. Ive got quite a few different printed planes. Printers, filaments, and designs are all improving. None of them crash well no matter what they are made of. Just have to keep flying stuff. Crashing is just part of the game

      It just changed shape....

    What airfoil and angle of incidence you using in the wing?

    • @GEARHEADFPV
      @GEARHEADFPV  3 месяца назад

      Not really sure. These are pre- designed plans. They dont list alot of the details

    What material did u use to print looks good

    • @GEARHEADFPV
      @GEARHEADFPV  3 месяца назад

      This was mostly Overture PLA+

    That was definitely an accelerated stall. Sucks. It was a beautiful airplane.
