FMS F-18 80mm take off crash

Pull up too early?

[@starpawsy]

Yeah, frame by frame from 0:08 shows it clipping the lower branches/leaves of the tree.,,, From which it appears to emerge unscathed. So that damage was all done when it hit the ground.

[@domscorpi9775]

no your plane hit the tree....

[@Theskyislistening]

…and then hit the ground nose down with the throttle still wide open

[@MikeRemvidas]

Nicely done

[@henryairconcepts2999]

definitely not an ideal place to fly rc. Especially with those lamp posts and parking cars

[@dangoneflying]

Off trim maybe.....or rogue crosswind

[@Eiooeek]

Simply crashed into leaves

[@leejones8804]

Well there $500 gone to waste

[@aerospacematt9147]

Was it out of trim to the right? Or did you put in right roll input on takeoff?

[@siang076]

Think was my fault roll right too early

[@aerospacematt9147]

@@siang076 Sorry that happened. My Blue Angel version had an uncontrollable right roll which resulted in it taking a nap in a tree! Unfortunately it was completely destroyed with no hope of repairing the airframe.
