Model RC DC3 Testrun
Testrun of two Magnum 52 4stroke engines on my Top-Flight DC3 with 210 cm wingspan,
working flape's and pneumatic operating landing-gear from robart. But after this I flow her for about 15 seconds and crash her totally on her maiden flight so that's not an long story but sorry not on film.

Nice idle on those magnums. And a good job
on the airplane too. Too bad about the crash
but thats the way it goes. Build'em, fly'em
crash'em. The next one will fly great.

Did your plane need …
Did your plane need some weight on the left wingtip because you have both engines leaning on same side
Im flying several …
Im flying several airplanes for about 16 years now, from biplans (sport and scale) to ww2 scale plane's and I have now an Beech D18 who flies great, my second twin.
So an absoluut beginner I'm not, but happens.
But this DC3 was my first start with twin engines, and not a good start you unterstand.
I still do not now why this plane went down, and that's not nice.
You must really …
You must really suck at flying model planes then, didn't u think of getting a cheaper one and learning how fly it, then get a more expensive one.
Yes Im already …
Yes Im already start a new one, but now with electric motors and also again with Flaps & gear wurking.
See if it will fly now.
And the CG more to the front about 20 mm or so.
I am so sorry to …
I am so sorry to hear your news i know how much love and effort goes into the building these birds.
I have built 4 of these in my time and never had the guts to fly it.
are you getting another one?
Well Im have not so …
Well Im have not so good news for you, I flew her for about 18 sec and lost her tottaly.
Strong advice to put her CG more into the front, she looks to be tail heavy with the recommend CG from Top_Flight.
I had a lot of speed with the start so thats also no reasen to crash.
So we thinks that the CG isent on the proper spot.
Fact are that the kit's who flying with electric fly well and most of the nitro powered kits arent.
I wiss you many happy landing with her.
can we see it in …
can we see it in flight as i am to scared to fly mine
