    So many frustrating emotions when you loose a plane caused by mechanical issues. I recently lost my 2.2m viper due to my right flap servo failing so I can empathize. I look forward to a video from you explaining what happen. This is what I love about our hobby, we all learn from sharing information be it good or bad.

    Ouch, sorry to see this. I had a similar scenario with my first Super Scorpion where the turbine lost power, dropped below idle, became unresponsive, did not failsafe but would not spool. I never really knew what happened but put it down to some kind of fuel restriction or cavitation. Turbine error message was Low RPM just like for air bubbles but the fuel system and air trap were tested after and seemed to be totally perfect. It's easy to second guess what should have been done - at the time it is difficult to judge what to do. Also VERY IMPORTANT to point out this happened a week before the current Alberta-Wide fire ban was in effect (May 5th is when the ban started.)

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  Год назад +1

      Hey Chris. Yea it's a tough one for sure. It's been sitting in a pile for a few weeks now. Haven't had the desire to dig into it yet but will probably do so soon. After having some time to think about it I have an idea what it was but hopefully can confirm. Unfortunately in these situations you often only have seconds to decide what to do. Yea that's the thing about video's. i'm usually 2 to 3 weeks ahead on video recordings. Often guys will give advice on something during a build and it's a great idea but the plane is already complete and we have moved onto the next project😂

    Thanks for sharing. I think this is educational for all of us. Was your UAT still almost full after the crash? I wonder if there was an issue with the fuel system. These issues usually result in flame out but could in theory lead to what you experienced. I had my share of flame outs and now run the turbine on the ground with fuel around 30% and move the plane so the main clunk skip fuel to verify that the UAT is refilling itself in these conditions.
    I hope you get this beautiful plane rebuilt quickly. I think we have all been there. Go fly something else asap!

    A flying buddy of mine had this exact same thing happen to his swiwin 190. He was able to get plane back safe. Cycled power and it worked normally again and 3 flights later same thing again, with minimal damage. Sent motor back to get checked, but never heard what the resolution was. He checked his radio and had no fades or holds.

    I did exactly the same thing with my large Skymaster Viper, but was dead stick.

Probably would have got by with just some scratches, but after the stall, it went straight in!!

    That really sucks Jonathan! So sorry man I know that jet is one of your favorites. I do have a question though. Does the Jeti radio have a global throttle trim or does it change with each flight mode position? Reason I ask is because I got bit by JRs system not having a global throttle trim on the T14 and I forgot to raise the throttle trim to full on my landing flight mode and it was at zero trim. The engine didn’t shut off till I landed because the Swiwins have a safety feature built in where if the RPM is above 25% the engine stays running. And I remember you saying that you were gonna cut the power out a bit sooner since it floats. Not sure if that’s the cause but that’s an idea that came to my mind. Once again, so sorry.

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  Год назад +1

      Thanks Klaus. with jeti you can choose to have global or flight mode. Throttle trim always set to global. I have an idea what it was but will hopefully start digging into it soon.

    Well thats a bummer Jon as she's a great Flyer very stable and Loud. That particular part of the approach you were to low to do much although leaving the Flaps out would have given the edge.

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  Год назад

      Thanks Nick. Yea unfortunately with flaps down, even in take off it robs airspeed so it's a bit of catch 22. And the sucky part is you only get 2 seconds to make these decisions when your in the landing pattern.

  • @VNAV_PTH
    @VNAV_PTH Год назад +1

    Trying to get back to the runway, depending on circumstances of course, but most commonly after engine failure after takeoff, is often in general aviation called "the impossible turn". Not enough energy to keep up the necessary airspeed while making the turn results in a stall and a spin. Keep that airspeed up, and repeat for yourself, don't stall it, don't stall it, don't stall it, next time. Look around and make a plan when you're on the field for alternative places where to put it down before takeoff in case something like this happens again. Almost anything is better to land on than a stall and spin into the ground.

    with experience you'll learn that in these situations its best to land it immediately than try for the runway and crash

      Agreed! Unfortunately with the field surrounding the runway just turned over it would have ended bad as well. Thanks for watching!

    Miss the days of my $100 Forty Size planes with $80 engines. I never crashed one beyond minor landing damage but even if I totaled one it would not be a huge financial loss. Feel for you, that will be very $$$$ to fix.

    Remember, any RC Pilot who says they've never crashed either is inexperienced or lying. Though losing a new plane on the first or second flight is always a blow. All of my planes are 3D printed which is great for learning to fly, if I crash (which I have done multiple times), I can just run off a new fuselage/wing/whatever and I'm back in the air a few days later at minimal cost.

    With turbines and crashes you have to also look at the positives , in this one , no fire still got all the gear huge positive, looks like you might get away with a fuse and probably a wing,

    This is just an analysis, not a criticism! None of us have never made a mistake!
    That last turn for the runway was the mistake, it was never going to make it. The wing loading and drag was never going to allow it. The best choice would have been on the downwind leg to accept no power, and retract the gear and lift the flaps and turn in diagonally to try and belly the grass. Done right the model would not have been pointed at the pits looking at the field layout.
    You'd have had some scratches but little else.
    The other choice would have been to retract the gear, land straight ahead lifting the flaps before touchdown. If the flaps are on a slow timer then you'd have to guess the timings. That would have given more scratching and perhaps a little damage and maybe some servo stripping/flap damage. But it would have been safest.
    It's never easy in the instant, and I repeat, it's not a criticism. I learnt the hard way myself about situations like this. Congratulations by the way for being so cool and sanguine about it! That's a far better attitude than many, many others!

    Hate to see that happen but as you know, when you fly these things no matter how much you have invested in them, the chance of something like this is going to happen. Did you ever find out why the engine would not respond?

    @MichaelWargo Год назад +1

    Boy, I really feel bad for the loss. But something can be learned out of this. The crash was completely avoidable. Flying straight, pulling the gear up. Would have save the aircraft, get the nose down and glide to the ground. As slow as it was, there is really no way to make a turn and use the elevator without absolutely slowing the plane to stall. If you are slow and going down, just keep the nose down and fly straight. Obviously if you have enough residual speed it’s not a problem. I have made it 360° from only 15 or 20 feet because it had a lot of speed to make a proper landing. but making any turns while you’re slow will catch your air speed really fast.

      @@paulhatfield498 It looked like he could. He actually hit up elevator and tried to gain altitude. He could have turned quite a bit to simply adjust. From where I saw, he probably could have made the runway if the nose kept down. This is NOT a criticism of the pilot... Seriously. In the moment it is hard and I would never fault anyone for doing what felt right at the moment. If you know who I am, I do a lot of instructing. This is simply a teachable issue...

      Remember a few things guys. Yes. This is a learning experience which is why I share this stuff.
      1. Engine didn’t flame out. Was still running. So you have a few seconds to make decisions. A few of those seconds were realizing that there was no throttle response. 2. Then in 0.5 seconds you get to decide what to do. Field had been freshly turned over. So landing in field with gear up or down would have been bad.
      3. Flaps up and turn to runway. Flaps up to maintain speed. Had the engine quit 2 seconds earlier and audibly quit like normal, I would have turned right away and made it to runway no problem.
      4. Be careful judging people with stuff like this. I have dead stick landed F18’s, tutor multiple times, 1/4 scale L39 multiple times and many others. Timing, altitude, airspeed, position, airframe etc are all factors.
