    Yes, looks like the CG was off. I maiden my Corsair this week and she was tail heavy. She was reacting the same way this P-51 was. I added more weight to the nose and she flew like a charm.

      Try your best to get the cg right, nose heavy is better than tail heavy.

    Way way way too tail heavy. Most important thing to do before flying a new plane is to check & double check the CG. Nose heavy ok... tail heavy is a crash waiting to happen. Fix & fly again!

      Agree...you can see it a take off, the tail never picked up to level, a clear sign the tail is heavy .

      Is this an arf ? Or kit ? That hit hard! And stayed running ?
      Great build I love the mustang and spitfire have had less violent impact totally destroy them im not sure I agree that it was tail heavy looked like he maybe pulled too much elevator and luckily had just enough speed to get airborne.
      These warbirds are Notorious
      For rough landings.sometimeseven if you grease the set down the darn things nose over or cartwheel.
      Anyway hopefully its back up a flying.
      Thanks for sharing

      Dan K Physics changes when the plane is its wingspan length from the ground. Represented in this equation. L=Ci*r*1\2V2A L is Lift, Ci Lift Coefficient(weather), r is density, 1/2Velocity(squared) times A(wingspan)

    Don't ever maiden on a windy day. Stand behind your aircraft on take off - screw who ever says you can't. No ground speed - means no flight speed - get your speed up and let it run, do not ever take off if the tail is not off the ground - do not rush your takeoffs and as always - check your balance. Warbirds are notorious for tip stalling so you better know what a rudder is for.

  • @vickilund7206
    @vickilund7206 2 роки тому

    It's all about knowing which Wings far to put your finger under and I know that can be difficult because everybody's got a different idea about where to check Weight and Balance but the fact is you have to find out where that key point is on the aircraft so you and your buddy can balance it and if you have any ideas that it may be neutral or tail heavy you need to put some weight in the tale for the meantime. Then after it flies well and doesn't porpoise you can start pulling weight slowly away from the tail

    When you take off and you notice you have an aft CG, land immediately. The longer you stay up the more fuel you burn and push that CG even further aft. This accident should never have happened.

    • @dtkristy1
      @dtkristy1  5 років тому +1

      Francis absolutely, I believe so. But these Mustangs like to be flown all the way down to the runway too. Likely a combination of tail heavy and slowing too much. I feel bad for the pilot!

  • @RC_Sky
    @RC_Sky 5 років тому

    General rule to fly war birds - always have a good speed, this is not a funfly 3d plane, have a good speed on landing and try to land without flaps, look like you loose too mach speed and flaps was not compensating with elevator mix. Also check CG, looks like tail heavy.

      I’m guessing you may not be an RC flyer. In any case, this pilot has flown successfully for many years. Mustangs, even set up and balanced properly, can be a handful.

    • @jeffs7915
      @jeffs7915 2 роки тому

      His first abort landing with power up and abrupt high angle left turn suggest to me that the pilot is not as familar with warbirds, or just a bad habit

    Landing without flaps??? Bad idea!!!! To slow an approach flaps up and it stalled. And being tail heavy only made your situation worse. It’s a WAR BIRD you have to land flaps down power on.

    • @rperry70
      @rperry70 3 роки тому

      Not if you have a good head wind. He had a nose high attitude, slow, heavy handed on ailerons, and possibly tail heavy. The plane may be a bit much for the pilots skill level. I always leave the flaps up if it is windy.

    • @shelbyseelbach9568
      @shelbyseelbach9568 2 роки тому

      Flaps are for no wind situations. The higher the wing the less flaps are needed.

    From the way it was flying right after takeoff - i think your CG was too far back. That crash was painful to watch...and hear. Must've been really bad for you - I'm sorry. If that happens again and you don't notice until you're airborne, land faster!
