It was doomed, why you ask?

Not design flaws. Not bad flying...


Gay music.


I was praying for the damn thing to crash to wake me out of the gay music induced stupor.

No Habu I'm saying that an RC should never have been designed so fragile that it couldn't take the standard joyride RC's are commonly subjected to.

Which is why I said:

if it was so fragile it had to be flown like a commercial airliner to stay intact.


In essence: Commercial airliners are not built for aerobatics nor they should. Rc's however are different.

Gscholz I assume the guy who flew the plane also designed it. Obviously it didn't fulfill the purpose he intended it for as it broke down while he flew it.

Define 'within reason' cuz a beetle that's designed for top 100mph going at 200mph doesn't seem within reason to me.

Cars that are designed for those speeds have different suspension, aerodynamics, brakes etc. for the sole reason of driving those speeds controllably.

By your standards every single airplane ever built are flawed designs since you can easily overstress them all.

If you take a VW Beetle and put a big engine in it and go flying off the road at 200 kph ... is it then the engine's fault? Of course not, it's YOUR fault.


Who was talking about beetles and 200mph again?

If you run out of arguments, save your personal insults and move on.

Btw I believe my mercedes is quite safe to drive with its designed top speed (250km/h) on autobahn.

Gsholz the difference is other has a proper design to fulfill the task and the other does not which means the others design is flawed for the purpose IF the purpose is to fly loops or drive 200mph.

You should know the limitations of the design and keep within them. An RC sailplane is not designed to pull so many G's.


Exactly and that's why he should never have built the thing with a jet engine in the first place. The design of a glider is not suitable for a heavy jet engine and high speed flying.

That contraption would have broken to pieces from a strong gush of wind just as likely it did while looping it.
