Whiplash Crash (Was Whiplash Control Throws)
Thanks for the info guys, I'll take some pics tonight after work and post them. The plane went in basically on the nose and left leading edge. NO ONE could believe it wan't totally destroyed.
As far as my CG goes... l had to have the Jett 46 at the back of the mounting rails with the battery at the far rear of the compartment. This is where it needed to be to balance. If anything I was 1/8-1/4" nose heavy. I balanced it on a 1" dowel rod on my workbench.
In hindsight I should have just kept the wing level and walked to get the plane after the deadstick. It just wouldn't turn. I got 90 degrees out of it and it was dropping all the way. Rick, you mentioned turning hard and fast... I really don't think I could have done it any faster and even with my increased throws it wouldn't do a 180 to get me on the runway.
