Wild ride (video)
Here is a quick video of my first flight on my A10-X turbine.
It was very tail heavy and throws were set way too high.
It was everything I could do to keep it from crashing.
I finally decided to just kill the engine in flight incase I lost total control.
It bellyed in and broked the booms.
It's since been repaired and cg adjusted and it flys like a turbine powere 4 star 60.
Great plane, but thought I lost it on this flight.

Yup, I would say that was DEFINITELY a wild ride! You did a good job getting it back down with fairly minimal damage though, it could have been alot worse!

Personally, I think that was a great bit of piloting! For all intents and purposes, and in the hands of a lot of other folks ( yours truly inluded ) that thing should have and would have been a pile of splinters! Nice job!!
