@@ericruggles4631 Thanks Eric. The intro music was there to support the opening stills, plus to muffle some of the conversations that were going on around me. You might have noticed that after the music fades, the comments on things like flying advice are near constant. Sorry I can't satisfy everyone on the choice of music . . .

Fine looking model, I feel like I have aged 5 years just watching that take off! Hope you get it sorted for the next go!

Perfect example of never stop flying it!!!

Whomever keeps saying nose heavy is full of crap its tail heavy plain as day.

It is neither, I didn't have enough power. I had to put down trim in it. It flew great. I have a muffler problem restricting engine performance.

@@ryanbowman1152 Not enough power with an 85cc? Your plane should be scaring nazis in their tombs with that engine.... something is seriously wrong on the setup of the engine. As for the CG, it's too tail heavy nonetheless - no matter if you have enough thrust of not.

Great recovery 😊 would have been a shame to loose her 😢 Hopefully you get the engine pulling better before the next attempt 👍

Well, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing!!! Nice P51!

That music is great for my bowel movements! Keeps everything loose and sloppy...like yer flying!

Yes something fundamentally wrong there. Great save after a bad decision to continue the take off. Nosing over could be gear geometry. Nice model, I can see the quality build.

Awesome Plane, Awesome Flight, and AWESOME music !

Good save.

I didn't realise before watching this that you could not fly a plane. Keep practising my friend 🙂🙃😉

My guess would be more power as you stated and more elevator authority. You could hear the motor was not running right.

Beautiful plane

I assure everyone, the plane is balanced! I have a muffler issue restricting max engine performance that i didn't understand until now. It will be fixed before flying again. The nosing over problem on takeoff is a wheel problem. My wheels are to soft. This will also be resolved. Aborting a takeoff is easier said than done if your not the one with your hands on the sticks. Maidens are maidens for a reason.

Thats what i was thinking, that plane has no power. But SHOULD! GOOD SAVE!

Too much excitement for a maiden flight.

Very good job quelle maitrise au décollage 👌

Good for static display..admiring evey details😆

How can you maiden without checking the CG ? Nice save though 👍👍

Let’s add a bit of positivity, shall we! Beautiful model, good job.😊

Not enough airspeed on take off. The left wing was stalling. Maybe a bit less pitch on the prop would've hurt. What altitude is your airfield? Was it a hot day?

Wow, g😅eat recovery!!!

Too nice of a model to not have a correct, 4 blade prop that IS AVAILABLE in all pitch and sizes…

power to weight ratio is definitely the problem..

Is this field in North Carolina, near Maiden, NC? Does the DLE 85 Vibrate a lot? Is she overweight? She was struggling to get airborne? And CG I assume is spot on? Perhaps a throttle up elevator mix will help? Small, small up.

RAMS field is in East Bend, NC, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours NE of Maiden. If you check on the RAMS website, you can get a precise location. Please see Ryan's comments (Builder/owner/pilot) to get his opinion on what the difficulty is.

It does look a little tail heavy but you have more of an issue of p-factor you got to put that right Rudder in there my man😂😂😂

Why not have a 4-blade prop?

jesus

More money than knowledge and skill.

Höhenunterschied falsche Richtung?

Scale planes are difficult.

Do people not know how important balancing a plane is? I build big warbirds and spend hours sometimes getting the balance just right for the maiden. Also, for the maiden, the plane SHOULD be a little nose heavy. Avoid perfectly neutral cg based on manual. Tiny bit nose heavy. Strongly suggest Xicoy balancing pucks. For $350 the club should buy one for all to use. We put too much time and money into these beasts to have them fly poorly on a maiden.

Three ISSUES IMO. Not enough forward rake on the mains and tires to small so plane wants to pitch forward, second alot of engine do2n thrust. Lastly tail heavy. Good piloting to sqve the plqne on take off°

She struggled to get airborne, your suggestions may also be helpful

the engine has not enough power and has too much "fall", so it seems, that the plane is tal-heavy and it stuck in the gras....lift the engine-fall up

Elevator problem, and crap music. 😮

Neesds more grunt

w.t.f????? am i at a disco????

Man you should buy lottery tickets. Waaay tail heavy IMHO. Need to recheck. AND get someone else to maiden as the takeoff decision was bad. I am not a good enough pilot to maiden that plane in that configuration!!

Tail heavy not nose heavy.

That's a ton of effort, time and money to put into an aircraft you didn't balance. You could have saved yourself a ton of grief.

Christ on a bike! ABORT! ABORT! Maiden flight and it's hauled oof the ground and staggered into the air above the outfield! That was nearly a years worth of time investment plus all the costs reduced to rubbish for the sake of a few more taxi runs and a bit of thought.

So I'm guessing you didn't like the video? Don't be bashful now . . . mash that thumbs down button! I find it a really interesting study in human nature how some folks are eager to comment on outcomes after they witness a result. I believe that most of us can only dream about spending a year to scratch build a masterpiece and then have the guts to risk it all on seeing if it will actually fly. As for the true cause of the marginal success, I'm confident the issues will be sorted in the near future.

@@lehshoot A little context, as it's often lost in textual replies/comments. I don't "dislike" the video. And you presumably posted this video for some commentary? Well I'm glad the builder/pilot got away with it and genuinely hope that he gets the model sorted and enjoys many great flights with it. However as amateurs in a hobby we still have some responsibility for conducting things in a safe manner. That model weighs 44 lbs and is capable of a lot of destruction. Just being insured isn't enough to counteract the potential mayhem that it could cause. That flight "should" have been aborted the instant it turned left. With the distinct risk of being seen as a gatekeeper which I am not trying to be.... I've been flying rc models of all types for 45 years now. And I crashed and crashed as everyone does, and will do. At times people have "commented" on the mistakes I made that contributed either partly or fully to those crashes. Even at the time I was thankful for understanding what went wrong, and it pains me to see people making simple mistakes when they have invested so much into the model and the flight. So, to be clear I hope, perhaps people watching this video will learn something from it, rather than just obtain some gallows humour from watching someone struggling.

@@alexmcmeekin2658 Alex, thanks for your clarification. Unfortunately, you have indeed made an incorrect assumption. I do NOT create these videos to collect commentaries. My channel is NOT monetized, and the primary reason that I spend the time doing the work is for the benefit of our local RC club in Conover NC, of which the builder/owner/pilot of this model is a member. The videos I post help to keep our members informed on what's going on at the club and serve to document flights so that pilots can diagnose problems and also to provide entertainment locally. I get a kick out of it because I like R/C models and am an avid photographer and videographer. Monetization of a channel imposes a raft of requirements that I simply don't want to deal with, but I do allow comments in order to provide encouragement to our members. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all those comments were polite?

Absoluted is under power! DLE is not suitable an engine for this type of airplane. This size warbird needs a great engine like a Roto motor 125 two inline cilinders.
