I think they missed the last landing, no worries we saw it! Flew my D7 today, not Hangar 9, but another lovely flyer. That field hump must cause some interesting takeoffs occasionally as well, cheers.
Looking at the video, I could see LH rudder input all the way from lift off to impact, and I guess you were inputting RH aileron to correct which just accentuated slow speed LH wing drop. With these old birds its all about rudder, rudder, rudder. Great looking model and a good group of mates, you'll be fine!
@johnmorrison1180 yeah turns out there was up elevator that needed trimming out, she was trying to fly before she was ready, after trimming she had 4 great flights and take technique was not changed apart from getting used to how much right rudder she wanted.
agree - on the 3rd flight where you say you need more right rudder because the plane was turning left, it looked like you gave it left rudder by mistake. As you began each takeoff, I was watching the rudder (past experience myself) to see how much you used. I didn't see any on the first 2 flights, then left on the 3rd. This is being nit picky, I think you did a great job and it looks wonderful on the ground and air
@JohnVHRC if you watched the whole video you would have seen another few successful flights plus other videos flying the se5a. But I do appreciate your comment rudder with planes is a definite weak spot for me yet use it all the time with my helis.
Normal speed for 1/4 scale would be about 50 kph up to maybe 60 flat out. Slowing down would not only look more scale but give you a lot more flight time to boot.
A rubbing axle would cause a ground loop, not a wing stall. You lifted up too early which caused a wing tip stall. Some Bipe's need lots of airspeed to get off the ground. Always correct with the rudder at low speed not ailerons as it will accelerate the wing stall. You should make a throttle rudder mix for take offs Put it on a switch to correct the right rudder the more throttle you give it then switch it off once you gain enough altitude. I do it to all my taildraggers. Mixes work wonders on tail draggers. Especially for making turns, adding aileron rudder mix makes your turns much nicer. Let's you focus more on enjoying the flight.
@FarmerFpv yep I totally get the logic, it's just after fixing the axle I did nothing different on take offs and it was a completely different plane.i have a rudder aileron mix which as you say really helps.thanks for the comment
As you're picking up the plane from the initial attempt, I catch a quick glimpse of the bottom of the upper wing. Where did you get the Lozenge covering you used? I'm wanting to build a D8 but having a hard time finding the covering. Thanks
Thats what happens when you lift off with out using all the available power,plane leaves the ground below its flying speed,and drops a wing because it has stalled. A rubbing axle will only cause a ground loop at the best.
Exactly. A stuck wheel axle would cause an immediate ground loop, not a tip stall. He also tried to correct it with the right aileron which accelerated the tip stall. Always use the rudder at low airspeed as the ailerons create more drag exacerbating the tip stall.
That's what I can't understand with this hobby anymore there is always 1 or 3 morons that just can't say nice flight well done ,but they rather just say ohhh ya done this wrong ,help people out ,give people back up ,help if ya can , don't be a turkey like this bloke in the background
It’s obvious , you literally had no right rudder in there on the take-off roll. In fact, as it started to roll left , you were getting left rudder in there and it kept increasing before you hit the ground.

Glad you came back and had a great flight, good looking D 7
@scottconnors7901 thankyou, I was lucky I didn't seriously damage it, but flies great now. Thanks for watching
What a great place to fly RC aircraft and what a nice first landing! 👍
Good job, nice landings, keep on with the mods. Have fun flying! On my channel I fly over The White Cliffs of Dover.

Great comment Johnmorrison 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Looks like it fly's very stable. Lands like a Dream. Just got to smooth out that dam Rut in the run way. Great video.
@gisall8205 yes that rut has been responsible for a few mishaps
@@andre-dx4yw Fill it in. Pack it down. Instal sod. Quick and EZ
A really beautiful model and can see what a thrill it is go get in some successful flights. The speed bump in the runway makes things interesting.
Got there in the end🎉🎉
Great flight
Impressive landings,considering you have a biplane!
That’s awesome m8 , good afternoon flying bro
yes Steve was a good day, after the maiden nightmare, thanks for the cups of tea bruv much appreciated on a nippy day👍
That is a great looking D 7 very nice flights.
@jettechdonatkins thanks much appreciated thanks for watching
What a *beautiful* flying field.
And your bipe is a beauty too; it flies like a mother fokker!
Thankyou sir, i have a maxford usa 1/6th airco dh2 maiden coming soon hopefully this weekend weather permitting, thanks for watching.
H9 makes a good flyer. I have one since they came out and use an OS LA65 in the nose. Love it!
@azzir325 now she is trimmed she flies great really like it alot
May want to learn how to use the rudder a little more before flying that one.

Fokker D7 are a dream to fly love my Flair D7
Yep, me too, my Flair DVII is my favourite model.
Landing gear AXLE. That's the word you were looking for. Pretty plane. Would love to get one.
@@savagemako17 lol yes that's the one cheers
A brilliant flight chap.
@Wyatt-x2z thankyou sir most kind, I feel a bit of an idiot for the crash but lesson learned.
Why is it that your mates always miss your best landing?🙄
rudder does what?
Same thing happened to me with the 1/6 cub, lifted off too early, wing stall.
@Cess182sn yes I found I had up elevator and had to trim quite a bit.
Landing so fast. Why?
As you're picking up the plane from the initial attempt, I catch a quick glimpse of the bottom of the upper wing. Where did you get the Lozenge covering you used? I'm wanting to build a D8 but having a hard time finding the covering. Thanks
@Noncenx hi sorry I can't help you, the hanger 9 d7 is an arf, comes pre covered
@@andre-dx4yw Ahhhh... I didn't realize the blue was an option,. They only show the red/white on the web site. Thanks!
@Noncenx ah that's the new d7, this one is the old 60 arf went out of production around 2011 ish
nice work! may want to add a bit of expo to the rudder. May help with takeoffs. I have 25% on my 1/4 scale D7
Thanks for the vidio. I have one that I will be converting to electric.

these guys look lost that the new guy showed up
and with a better airplane than they got
Elevator...so much up Elevator..
@Bareknuckleflying. yep before the remainder it had to be trimmed down and even then in flight it had to be trimmed down more
That's what I can't understand with this hobby anymore there is always 1 or 3 morons that just can't say nice flight well done ,but they rather just say ohhh ya done this wrong ,help people out ,give people back up ,help if ya can , don't be a turkey like this bloke in the background

This is mine which my uncle built me. The man on the camera is my dad 😊
very nice, hope the under carriage was ok! i do like the slight custom paint job which makes it more authentic, cheers
HAPPENS TO ME 2 MATE, GLAD FOR THE HAPPY ENDING THOUGH
@4thGloryMonday thanks, I honestly thought it was destroyed but I was lucky. Thanks for watching
That wasn't a proper crash! Nice model. 😊
@@bobflyman sorry I'll try and do a proper one next time 😅
No rudder!
why are you lying? where is the crash?
right at the start unless you think that was a landing lol
Learn to use your LEFT THUMB!
wow try actual right rudder next time
