Giant 45% Pitts Challenger with 220cc motor crashes down to meet its rc pilot below! RC Plane

Ойын-сауық

45% Giant Scale Challenger Pitts nearly destroyed after either RF ignition problem using a old JR 2.4 receiver or it’s too tail heavy? It looked like it was tail heavy because it appeared too sensitive and the more power he adds the worst it gets; when he slows down it gets calmer and pitches nose up.

    Had a similar thing happen but only ailerons were affected. I was using an RCexel remote throttle cut but from a single battery to the RX, I took the RCexel remote kill switch off and no more issues! I did however move the satellite RX much further away and rerouted the aileron servo extensions further away from the power leads and RX.

    Nice job getting her down in that situation. Could have snapped and rolled inverted any second but saved it. Great example of why you never give up on flying it. Fight it all the way in.

    Nothing like a U-turn take off with a tail dragger to create a little "pucker factor". Glad there was no damage. That could have been ugly.

    I had exactly such a problem only that in my case I recognized the problem on the ground and not on the air. The problem for me was interference from the ignition , as long as the engine was running, the control surfaces would move by themselves. I replaced the engine and the ignition and left the rest of the components on the plane and the problem disappeared.

    It’s seems a basic requirement to have the correct centre of gravity before flying, it sure looked like it was tail heavy?

    Thanks for all comments. But the problem wasn’t the tail heavy or the rudder servo inverted. The problem was the signal radio or something in the system. I have a new NX 10 spectrum and I already flow this airplane like 6 times the CG is perfect everything was perfect. When I push the throttle the airplane was flying like no control. Was really scare but thanks God plane is safe , just the prop . Now I need to know what’s happened w my system.

    The only less than perfect variable is flying a Spectrum radio, seen too many unexplained crashes with them. When you cut back on throttle you regained some control. RF interference. A guy said he had the same problem with his Corsair, what was his radio. The answer is not more satellites.

    I have seen this happen many time and with different brands of transmitter. Found the problem to be in a loose spark cap. The spring clam on the spark cap heats up and becomes loose. One fix is to remove the spring clamp use a hose clamp. Tighten it on the spark cap problem is gone. I have helped several people with this same problem. Most of the time it only affects one control surface. Test by starting engine monitor all control surfaces. Slowly advance throttle slowly check control, problem occurs at half throttle or greater. Hope this helps.
