The reality is that a 2 blade prop produces better thrust then a multi. That being said, he picked the worst prop he could get his hands on. An APC electric prop may have saved the airplane. I will never understand guys who install an IC prop on an electric.

A very expensive electric conversion destroyed within seconds of take off. Even the most experienced pilots make small mistakes which can have disastrous consequences.

The ground obviously moved up. Flying RC is hard. Don't look AT the plane. Put yourself in it and remember speed is your friend. Always gain altitude before you turn it back towards yourself. I doubt I could have done much better, but before I turn a plane towards me, I get TONS of altitude. Better to bring in a plane for landing too hot than too slow and low. Remember, the transmitter is only a suggestion box at best, NOT a controller.

Ah yes Andy but the difference is that you and I can admit that no matter how long we have been doing something we remain open to learning more. Unlike some guys who " know everything " because they have read a few books and once built a Sig Kadet. Some even go so far as refuse to learn or accept information because they don't like where the information is coming from.
