Default RE: Trying to make sense of crash on maiden?

You most likely stalled it by applying up elevator. You need to allow the plane (ANY plane) to build speed before climbing.


You said you had full power and that's good for part 1 of the take-off, but a healthy airspeed (part 2) wasn't there just yet for a gentle climb-out.

I say this as I assume your control surface servos are plugged into the proper ports of the RX.
