How well do you crash?

Then there was the high speed low pass with the Dynam Me262, bounced it off a fire hydrant at appx 100 mph... continued flying. Nose gear needed work.

And the pilot needed to change his pants...

Then there was the first fun fly at my current club.
I could barely handle figure 8 laps around the field at that time... but they talked me into trying.

Almost hit the CD (with the airplane) twice.
Broke the back of the airplane 3 times. (glued it back together with CA and 5 min epoxy... off we go... CRUNCH!)

Remember to disconnect the motor battery from the ESC immediately . If you forget to disconnect, you may have an unplanned startup in the pits when you attempt to take off another model ( If you don't have Spektrum "model match")

Disconnecting the motor battery after a crash is a smart move but it won't do anything to how the TX was last left after a crash. You still have to make sure that the throttle is lowered and for double safety, hit the throttle cut.

Model match is so nice to have ..

Was flying a 90mm EDF straight and level downwind leg at 2/3 throttle with landing gear deployed. aircraft rolled 180° on its back and proceeded to nose in to the ground. Checked all servos after crash they seem to be functioning , battery was ejected on impact so I could not verify if there was a signal interruption. Any ideas on what could have caused this scenario? Thanks, Ken

Hi Ken, were flaps deployed? I have had flaps deployment where only one deploys causing a roll moment...Luckily I was able to save it. That could cause a roll like that. If a servo gets stuck it could cause a roll...Of course loss of signal or momentary brown out could cause that as well...Unfortunately without some kind of advanced telemetry it may be impossible to know with 100% certainty. Sorry to hear about the crash!
