I don't know what i did wrong???
« on: February 15, 2010, 09:41:24 AM »
I was flying my hellcat a few days ago, first 45 seconds went fine then the plane started lurching to the right. I thought it was a trim problem and set the trim to the left but the lurches got worse. I tried to bring her down for a landing but right before touch down it did it again and i had to pull up and circle. Then mid 360 the left wing fell off and the plane plummeted spiraling to the ground. Despite the lurching problem  i was able to keep it in the air for 15 minutes trying to land. The part that doesn't make since is the fact that i used a good amount of epoxy and sealing tape. The plane is destroyed cause it was 75 feet up and at full throttle when it hit the ground. I just don't understand why though.   :headscratch: can you give me any thoughts and maybe why it happened?

I thought he was refering to a "radio-controlled" plane , one flys outdoors.......

I could be wrong though........

Sounds to me like something came off in flight, like an aeiloron or something like that. Could have even been a motor mount, which would cause it to either go left or right, depending on which side it was. If it wasn't those two then partial wing came off, but there would be barely any lift.

I also don't think that you kept it in the air for 15 minutes, because I know some of the most powerful batteries can only last about 15 minutes, and you also said that you were flying it before, so I think it's doubtful that you did keep it in the air for that long.
