Stuffed the WH Ultimate!!!

Tailwind · 05-02-2006, 10:42 AM

Guy's,
It was a beautiful morning here in Chicago so I decided to maiden my WH Ultimate. First flight wet smooth, trimmed it out, stalls, etc.. Second flight went well also, vertical rolls, KE, Etc... Third flight while practiced hovering I noticed that it would fall off into a spin, 1.5 turn-pull out-no biggee...note to self practice hovering with some height until you get use to this plane.......well I wasn't high enough, the last time it took about 2.5 turns before it started to recover, just long enough to stuff it into the turf. Sure wish I would have kept the NIB H9 Extra 260 I had on the shelf as a back-up bird!!!

That was a beautiful bird. I feel your pain. Why do you think the plane would fall into a spin? Did you not have enough power?

Ooooooooo, soooooo sorry dude. Man, on the maiden flight too. I've been there and know how you must feel. That's why I am trying to build as many as I can afford in my hanger.

What's that car behind the plane? Looks like a beaut.

Ouch bro.. Is there any way to fix it or is it a total loss??

Oooph! That just hurts to see. Sorry to see any plane go in, but so soon after the maiden is tragic! Sorry bro!

It had A DA 50 on it and it would hover at about half throttle. For the first practices I was on low rates so if I wasn't on top of it, it would fall out.

The car in the back is a 57 Chevy, and the plane is un-fixable....good excuse to get another one. I was bringing it into the house and my 5 year old asked me why there was grass on the engine? I told him it hit the ground kinda hard!
