RC Sapac Red Arrow-Maiden Flight With CRASH!! :(

Waited ages for the right weather,Took my plane for a flight and there didn't seem to be much control,
I'm using stock motor,receiver,
11.1v 2200mAh 3 cell

Couldn't get the plane to the ground so i used a tree instead :(
———————-
Changed the receiver,Think it was faulty.
All ready to fly again :)

Well the plane …
Well the plane actually survived :),Only needed minor repairs,If you looked at the other flights with the red arrow(they where all after this crash)

I had a problem with the electronics and sorted it out,The plane flies real well now,but i'm still learning on the landings,will master it once i start to fly again :)

Can I say R.I.P to the plane? :) Well, I guess it was nice flyed, but is it hard to land with rc planes like this?
Thanks

CG should be at the …
CG should be at the 1/3 point from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the wings.

No,the camera …
No,the camera stayed on,I stuck a velcro pad on the battery compartment so it stayed on well,When the plane went into the branches the wing come off and was still connected to the fuse via the servo wire leaving the rest of the plane dangling.

stock setup is,factory fitted electronics,i wasn't happy with my stock setup so i changed a few things.

jthqrules @ 12:00 am

stock setup ?
stock setup ?

stuj026 @ 12:00 am

if you watch the …
if you watch the landing gear,it's always twitching,so it might of been the case of interference or just short range,

since i replaced it,my other flights went real well on my other vids:)(the ones when you can see the actual plane)

hope your alright with the stock setup :)

Nice vid. Sorry to …
Nice vid. Sorry to see the Rx was a dodgy component leading to the crash.

I have the exact same model myself. I was wondering if my concerns about it are practically important though.

I'm surprised you got away with it, I felt that flimsy plastic nose cone was not impressive so if a bit of epoxy worked, that's positive.

I wonder if the PPM Rx suffers from interference myself. I will have to find out the hard way as I can't afford to spend anymore!

Epoxy is a glue …
Epoxy is a glue that comes in two tubes,you mix them together and in 5 mins they harden,it sets like rock and great for foamies,makes the repair stronger than the rest of the plane.

jthqrules @ 12:00 am

Epoxy ?
Epoxy ?

stuj026 @ 12:00 am

I ripped off the …
I ripped off the wing,so i used the trusty Epoxy and had to glue the landing gear back on,

Nothing major:)i got away with it quite lightly.

so how was it after hitting the tree ^^ ??

From what I can see …
From what I can see looks to be tail heavy. Move battery forward 1/4 tp 1/2 inch.

yeah i sure did,but …
yeah i sure did,but i never had any control over it:(,the receiver screwed up and had made many problems for me to be able to land the plane:((hence the tree),but if you look at my other videos of the Red Arrow you see that i have sorted out the problem :) and had quite a few great flights :),managed to do some real low passes :)
