Lol yeah you absolutely will not go far in RC unless you can take a lot of bloody noses. It's part and parcel of the hobby. It's always great if you can go out, fly at least two times, and come back without a scratch, but you have to accept that things can and will go wrong. If you can't, then you're gonna hate it. If you can, then believe me, you'll love it or I wanna know why not, lol. Especially FPV. It's truly a special experience. :-)

The thing I love about your videos is that even when things go bad, you’re still positive. It’s a joy to watch you and your sweet wife. So grateful to you and the way in which you compose yourself. Keep up the great work. I’ll buy you a coffee.

I think you got the order of events of the crash wrong. The edf's and ESCs would have pulled too many amps through the wires connected to the battery. The wires wouldn't have been thick enough and so got hot enough to melt the insulation, shorting the battery. That would have caused the battery to explode and the esc to shut down. This would then have shut down the receiver, making you lose signal. Up until then, it looked like it was flying great and the plane looked pretty awesome. moral of the story: use thick wire that's rated for the current (2x 80A) and make sure your battery can have a high enough C rating to power it

Great job on the design and build. There's a lot to learn from this crash. The fuselage is clearly a lot stronger than it looks in the build. Just beef up your wiring, add a separate receiver battery, provide some cooling for your ESCs and batteries, replace the plastic wheels and gear with something that can absorb the shock of take offs and landings, and version 2.0 will be much better!

Its AWESOME right up to the point of impact.... or until you leave it in your car on a hot day.... OR hang it from the ceiling in your garage... I just lost my entire 3d printed fleet of 7 very large airplanes. Last Monday, Salem Oregon was THE HOTTEST place in the country..... I didn't even stop to think about planes in the garage until Wednesday night. 3:00ish AM I say straight up in bed from a dead sleep and thought, OH NOOOOO..... Went downstairs, opened the door and got hit in the face with a blast of hot air. At first glance everything looked ok. Upon closer inspection, the rubber padding over the string I use to hang the models had pushed ever so slightly into the plastic. I thought, ok I can deal with this. That's when I looked at the Corsair. I saw it straight on and I could tell the wings were not right. From the side, all the models were drooping just a tiny bit behind or in front of the motor(s). Every plane with motors drooped a little between the motors and the center of gravity. Gliders long wings drooped the most. They almost look ok, but there is no way they will fly. Not even close. As display models they are ok. I figure it will take me 1800 hours to reprint them. Double that to paint and finish. Two hadn't been flown yet.... I figure the garage must have reached 130ish? Salem got to 117 officially. My house was 119. The garage has a black roof and was in direct sunlight from 5am to 9pm....
