AT-6 CRASH PHOTOS and VIDEOS

[ATIS]

NEVER try and force a plane off the deck early... bad things tend to happen...stalls are no fun at low altitude...

heres the rest...not sure if I should thank the fense or be mad at it!! Note the LG flying behind the plane in the photo...

ATIS on the first 2 AT-6's was the motor pulsing before cut-off, hard to hear on the video?

If it was not WOW that's rough. Look like fun flying planes as long as you keep them buzzing.

Did you return the throttle stick to dead and wait a second, I know hard to do when crashing but that can reset the LVC and get you some more needed juice if only for a few seconds.

Were the LIPOs trash from the crashes?

The motor did pulse...but it didnt pulse loud enough to be heard so the only warning was when you realize the planes slowing down or if its flying at you and you see the wing tip rock a little...then its too late. I killed a lipo on the 2nd crash. I still have both fuselages sitting in the corner as a reminder to use a timer when I fly the AT6. It happened soo fast I didnt even think to try and reset the ESC on the first one... the second one you can see I tried to gain speed during the dive and save her but that last stall was just oo close to the deck.

The still photos are of my 3rd AT6 (I am very hard headed) and that was its 6th flight...tried to take off before I had enough speed...stupid rookie mistake. She is in the middle of being fixed. It took me 9 months to get over crashing another AT6 so I could repair her without feeling depressed. In the air she is a great plane, handles absolutely perfect, no bad tendencies as long as you keep the speed up. Loops are rolls are smooth, she handles 20mph winds with ease...full flaps and she slows down enough to land on a soccer field. Not bad for 5lbs.

Look like it needs a lot of runway!

[ATIS]

It needs some distance thats for sure...full flaps help.
