Hi Noel, All I will say here is that it could have been a lot worse than it was - and I do fly her again this very same day .. Cheers Martyn.. or is that marlin ?
Accidents happen Martyn and there’s a first time for everything as they say. Just so happy to see minor damage which can be straightened out. Great flyer it has to be said…. 🥳🥳🥳
That was very unfortunate Martyn after a great scale take off and great flying then total power loss, great save, at least the airframe suffered no damage....jeff.
Hi Jeff - took me by surprise , never in all my years of flying have I drained a batter flat during a flight - (well I have now) - the gear can be bent back but one of the plastic clips on the Landing gear plate, broke away - not sure if they are available as parts, no issue for me as I intend to handlaunch it from now on.... Cheers Martyn
Martyn we don't need no stinking full battery on landing lol but I done it too ran my edf to low and was lucky had enough speed to glide it in glad no major damage 😊😊😊
Hi Frank, LOL... Maybe next time I won't even bother with a Battery at all ..LOL... Mind you that would be a safer bet....Yer it could have been worse.. so not issues really - next flight without the gear... Cheers Martyn
Hi Ironmover - not good is it... LOL, at least with BEC - the battery actually still had 3.0 Volts per cell, so I had little to no issues of recharging it.....but lesson learnt... the gear is just bent wire and can be sorted out no issues... Flown it again with a Handlaunch - all's good..Cheers Martyn.
Much love for the Marlin Martin...a Mover...Magnificent....Motivated to Make Mention or your Mistake but More-More-More
