My whole FF career in 2 minutes. Thanks. I don’t feel so bad now!😂

Laughed out loud. Best two minutes of the day. Thanks for confirming that stuff happens to the best of us.

Yeah, it's free-flight, so it happens to everyone.

Great sound effects!

Well it’s nice to see that the experts get it wrong sometimes lol

Now, that was fun to watch .

Very reassuring!

That was great! Glad you didn’t knock the table over trying to catch it.

I sense a mean streak creeping into free-flight....haha

Do you hear the music in your head when flying, or pick it later (lol)? Thanks for sharing - it puts my usual blunders in perspective to know that even someone as accomplished as you sometimes struggles! Hope thateventually gets sorted; obviously a lovely flyer. Cheers!

In that moment...no music...just a bit of shock, which I'm glad to say, I laughed about later.

This is wondrous. Thank you.

oh man! this was so fun to watch haha. nice buildmate

That music makes up for it! Ha! LOL. I still love this channel!

free fall 😂 what a gem!

Grand kid in cockpit? Can't stop laughing😅. Sorry 😊

The agony of defeat ~

It flies about as well as it's namesake!

I think he was winding the prop the wrong direction.

Oh! Ouch! Yi, Yi, Yi! Oh, the sound of the motor unwinding in the broken hub! Several lessons learned. Landing gear not stiff enough to support the motor torque. This landing gear has to work. Plane starts level to clear pusher prop. Not like tractor where the tail is low, the prop points up and immediately pulls the plane into the air, quickly unloading the landing gear. ROG on this one may require a long takeoff run to get up to liftoff speed. Maybe slope the deck uphill. Fortunately it survived to fly another day. Plan doesn't give wire diameter. Doesn't show motor peg, presumably hook was to be in foreword plug. What are those round things under the fuselage below the wing leading edge?

In this case, they could be nipples. Actually, they're faux exhaust stacks, as suggested by the FAC in embryo competition for bonus points.

Maybe Zinnia just wanted to stay home that day..! ⭐👍

Perhaps. It was a rocky ride for her.

OMG- That's BAD! Thanks!!

You are right, that was - interesting! Is your granddaughter in the cockpit? Have you got it tamed yet, with longer and stiffer legs, or is it only a hand launch model? Seems to fly nicely!

Yes, that's little Z. With her artwork on the model's wing. Love it! The model has since flown very well, as shown in the links at the end, but what's curious is the trim needed to get her off the table. Doesn't seem to marry well with the trim she needs in flight. Perhaps a bit more cross section will be the ticket...as I hope to fly her again this spring.

@@maxfliart Yes, more torque, let's hope that doesn't provoke other weird dances!

😀 Need to move landing gear all the way to the front and possibly widen the stance.

Sorry about the model, but this was entertaining...!!!

The hand launch saved your bacon that time.

Gracias. Aprendí mucho ese día, así que no todo fueron malas noticias.

landing gear wires are a liiiiiiitle thin. and do those wheels even spin? haha great fun.

@maxfliart

6 ай бұрын

Ya think? Haha. I actually kept the wires (since she needed tail weight already, so I didn't want to make her even heavier up front) but I added a thread as a spacer to keep them from splaying. I might add 1" gussets at the top of the LG. The thread worked well enough, but she also needed a support wire on the tail rudder to offset that torque lean. But yes, the wheels do spin. She just looked to pitiful, unhappy, as she crawled to the table's edge. Hilarious.

When the gear failed it was necessary to make a pork belly landing.
