Default RE: FlyEagle J-10 crash

Hi, I have exact model. First my comments are only reflect my own experience about this particular model.
My first flight is not exactly the same as yours. It was on my third or forth when I experience exactly like yours.
When I make my turn I give it elevator input that's when the model starts to slide and become tail heady.
And goes away very quickly and you start just to make circles next you it's too far away and you get disoriented.
On that scenerion I kept flying the model straight ahead to me , did not panic and that s the worse thing you can do.
Anyway this is what I think happened.
Q. did you have the vector thrust activated
How much canard throw. Mine was very little .
How much elevator throw.
Did you setup like the factory recommended.
Did the the pilot have an experience on this type of model...caused I didn't.

On take off it did looks like tail heavy but the pilot had leveled out for a while then starts to oscillate again
And then the pattern repeats and so on. The final moments is no longer recognized the orientation then the model just stalled.
Again this is just my own experienced. The paint scheme to me is terrible because it blends to the blue sky.
Now a days when I fly my J10 don't fly it to too far. Ken from FEJ is the expert on this jet.
