Status: offline 		The Cessna was purchased at a mall show...it was the maiden flight, it is suspected that the wing incidence was incorrect, the firewall incidence was incorrect, and that there was a little too much power. It kept wanting to climb, the actual flight went on for about 7-10 minutes of agony for the pilot.

Status: offline 		Sad to see one good looking go in.

Looks like it could have been tail heavy. Anybody check the balance? Scale planes like that are notorious for coming out tail heavy. It looks like the pitch was somewhat sensitive which would be a sign of an aft CG.

I could have also been a misalignment somewhere in the fuselage. That is why I own an incidence meter. They are cheap and could have saved a plane in this situation.

Before I fly a plane for the first time I look it over in detail. Incidences and balance are part of the inspection. The key is to trust no one. If somebody else assembled it, figure that something is likely wrong. I put in 10 years at a hobby shop and you would be suprised what I have seen. Back in those years I built planes for other people, I would always test fly them for them before I gave it to them or got payed. If you can, see if you can get a demo flight before buying.

Power should not have been an issue, there is always a throttle stick. Was the engine not tuned right and not able idle down? I could see a high idle and a pitchy prop causing a problem. I fly a 91 four stroker on a 40 size plane and a 120 on a 60 size plane. No problem with a properly tuned engine and right prop.

Status: offline 		It is likely that a combination of these things lead to the pitch sensitivity, although the model was balanced properly, I think the prop and idle setting combination were a large factor, along with some firewall incidence.

Status: offline 		Something was off, he was working the hell out of the elevator, looks like from full down to full up and back constantly...i would vote for too much aft weight, since the tail would drop faster than it came back up...but im just a silly n00b

Ouch that Cessna hurt. Don't know a great deal about helicopters but from my days working in a hobby shop (I loved being a teenager) most things could be repaired if you spend enough.....

As for your buddy, Tuwood, just tell him that while a Cessna flies nicely, r/c trainers invariably take a beating, including a few nose first landings as well all know too well.... Tell him that video is proof that a model Cessna is too delicate for trainer work as your buddy WILL have a few 'arrivals' like that from time to time.

If that doesn't work, just nick his crystals
