Ouch!

Holy cow, that's awful.
It's that kind of mess that discourages me from getting more interested in this hobby than I already am.
Oh my God, I almost lost my lunch when I saw that.
What on earth went so horribly wrong? and at what speed?

[MaHö]

The center of rotation was to far in front, so the 10 kg servo had not enough power at that speed(with a 5 cell receiver batterie). Next time I will make the original center of rotation!!!
Speed was over 200km/h, it was after a dive with full power!!!!
The motor´s were around 70m away from the crash point.

Yeah, to crash is rarely a good experience. But it happens :rolleyes:
My personal recipe for survive crashes is:

1. Never fly a model you really can't crash.

2. When crashed, tink to the wonderful flights you done togeter with your model; the game just now is over, but every game come to an end. Good Remembrance is forever.

3. After recovered all the hardware that survived the crash, immediately think positive about your next project; some piece of you lost joy (even small, even a single bolt) will fly again and again.

4. I prefer to build my models instead to buy Arf, and when time is so little that I can't build, I prefer balsa models than composite or depron ones; it's not necessary true that balsa flies better, but balsa models are often repairable (ok, this is NOT the case of this poor MiG).

5. Build and re-build is so much funny as fly is...

6. If I never crash, how can I get enough home room to store all that awesome new project I hope to build in the next 50 years? I need to become too much rich, in a few years I will need a castle just for store wings and fuses! And too richness means too much taxes to pay, so I will need to work any second of my existence to pay bills, so how can I find the time for fly and build? Crashes are necessary. No crash, no hobby! :p

Crashes are necessary. No crash, no hobby!

Too true... I remember my friend saying "you should fly wilder and a lot less careful" after seeing airplanes parked under the dinner table, on top of cupboards, on my desk...

[mr.dumbthumbs]

My saying is .........IF your scared to crash, go home and play with dolls!

[Bako]

Crashes aren't necessary, just inevitable. I always say "if you fly them, you'll crash them."

When we were kids, my older brother had a couple of spectacular crashes - with U-control planes - much later I realized he did it on purpose. Once into the side of a school building, another wingover smack into the pavement. He got tired of the planes, and wanted to see a bad wreck.

Personally, I'd get more reckless as I got bored of the model. (I never crashed an R/C plane on purpose, though.) But if you accept the concept of crashing, you can enjoy the hobby more. (Better than getting turned from flying because of a bad experience.)

The crash of the MiG is almost too much, though. Yikes! Kind of like the B-52. But - people crash and get killed in real airplanes, and yet they keep flying. Man was not meant to fly, but you can't stop him now.

Dude, I think that'll be pretty hard for someone to get killed in a crash and keep flying :D (j/k)

But I get your point :cool:

Pfffssshht! Yeah, yeah, I had it coming. How about the crew of that golfer (Payne Stewart) who died in flight - the jet kept on for hundreds of miles until it ran out of fuel. Oh, and btw: DUDE, don't call me dude! Heh.
:cool:

1. Never fly a model you really can't crash.



That certainly works for me. Most of my planes bounce.
