Freewing F-14 80mm crash

Not sure what happened I started to do an aileron roll and then it when into a dive and couldn’t recover

This was very hard to watch. I have the same jet and I’m terrified to maiden it. It’s been built and it is a shelf queen for the last year and a half. I keep telling myself once I feel I have enough experience, then I’ll maiden it. I have the same situation with my free wing 80 mm A-10 thunderbolt. I’m also afraid to maiden that one! Lol.

This was a definite stall with the wings back like that you're going way too slow.
When flying for 43 years this was a stall plain and simple

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. The F14 seems like a very challenging jet to fly. I have to say you kept cool and had a smile on your face. God bless.

That didn't look like a stall... by the way it rolled it defiantly lost an elevator servo.

[rchobbyandmoreeverydayisagift]

Oh man!!! I'm so sorry that happened to you. I hope you get another one very soon. I have mine in a box yet to be built as I have other planes to build up and get my skills up. It looks like a elevator servo or hinge failed. Crashes happen, I sincerely hope you get yours up and flying soon!! Redemption flights are sweet!! Subscribed!!

[rcpilotwill]

Oh wow, man, sorry to see that. But I'm glad you're in good spirit about it.

The experts are in the chat 😁
But the pilot ejected safely on time no worries there.

[robieosborne]

Wait what happened? I couldn't tell it was so far away. It looked like it just pointed down like a lawn dart!

[FlightheroRC]

the pucker factor watching this was high lol. did you use a gyro ?

[danielhipp]

Cougar pull up ! Cougar pull up !! Cougar !!! Cougar

[eclipser]

Lost orientation and thought he was right side up but was inverted? Pulled the stick back and went down instead of up?

[rcairshenanigans]

Looked like you got too slow with the wings swept and stalled.

[BelgianDneprGuy]

Like many said.. likely servo that went away

Shame as the F-14 is such a beautiful model.. was painful to watch

[agoodrcplanepilotwhopushes]

Im sorry for your loss of such a beautiful plane but happens to all of us sometimes like me

[jordancoleman]

Seeing lots of videos of the sudden nose straight down, free wing just blames the owner

[simonetaormina]

It’s not a hobby, it’s a kick in the nuts.

[starpawsy]

And this is why I will never buy a model airplane. My mental system couldnt take it.

[Emiliocab]

If you're going to crash, crash big 👌

I wish people would learn to hold a camera phone in LANDSCAPE mode instead of this idiotic "up and down" mode.
