    That's definitely a classic accelerated stall. The right wing exceeded critical AoA and dropped in the turn because your load factor was too high in the bank.

      This was a first time experience for me with that kinda of crash ... I tend to yank on the sticks harder on my right turns , I’ve been practicing to make them a bit smoother and not as sharp especially at a high speed .. I got her back in the air this past weekend , new fuse and front gear .. she flys great ! Thanks for watching 😊

      Don't have the vulcan but I've done more aggressive maneuvers in the 70mm Viper. Mayybe the wing tip on the Viper helped? If the right aileron go loose, it could do the same sparrow? Then it could be the control horn. Looks exactly like my T45's flap control horn. That wing hardly took any impact, as he managed to use the same wing. Doubt a secured control horn would've just came loose like that.

      Yanking in and of itself isn't exactly a bad thing, but being precise and smooth will generally alleviate most aerodynamic issues you might experience. Be aware that accelerated stalls can happen throughout the flight envelope: www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aerodynamics/why-does-aircraft-stall-speed-increase-with-bank-angle-aerodynamically-load/
      These same principles apply to RC airplanes. Once the banked wing stalls while increasing load factor, a spiral begins. At that point you have a good chance of recovery if you have altitude. If you're low to the ground, well, you can see what happened. :/
      I try to get these concepts across - it's very, very rare that a servo goes out. Most of these crashes are caused by accelerated stalls.

    My Vulcan did EXACTLY the same thing. 1/2 throttle, med bank turn, sudden snap and pitch down. I knew this jet was trouble on the second flight, when it didn't want to recover from a pop top- I just barely saved it. After that I never intentionally stalled it again, but after 30 or 40 flights, it did the exact same thing yours did. Some jets are just weird, my FMS avanti never flew right, no idea why, and the freewing avanti has hundreds of flights and flies great. The Vulcan is an awesome looking jet though, I just love the sleek profile.

    I don't think it was a high-speed stall. If you zoom in, you were in a vertical turn, then rolled inverted aggressively. Could have been an aileron (or rudder if you were applying any) failure, or perhaps an over-correction on the turn and you may not have noticed it went inverted.
    Great maiden flight though....This is fixable.

    That was like you got hit. A normal stall would be more of a fall. Maybe it was a speed stall. That jerked straight down. I think it was the stress on that aileron if anything. It was on rails before that. Maybe that turn was too tight though also. Quick death spin. Where are you flying out of btw? Glad you got back up and aren't killing anymore passengers 😉

  • @shelbyseelbach9568

    Pitch-up/down, not left or right. Yaw-left/right. Roll-left/right. Didn't look like a stall to me. This plane should have backing plates and screws on the control horns, not just glue. And certainly not just the amount of glue that tends to be applied on Freewing planes at the factory. I like Freewing planes and have Freewing planes but anything I've had disassembled, either on accident or on purpose, has always been surprisingly skimpy with the glue and I am not a fan of the blue box whatsoever. The two I've had both malfunctioned. One out the box and the other after about a dozen flights or so. I removed them and will remove them from anything I purchase in the future. Good attitude about the crash as there is nothing else to be done about it but laugh it off. The most extreme part of a fun hobby for sure! LOL.
