How many throws to get this Mini Drak Airborne?!?! 😅
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 FULL SETUP AND LINKS IN DESCRIPTION BELOW ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ (Click 'SHOW MORE'👈🏻 ) Launch struggles :-/ PROBLEM IDENTIFIED For a couple of years I had no problem with launching this plane, up in the air no issues every time... then all of a sudden last year I had a launch where it felt like it did a backflip and nosed into the ground. Did a bit of damage and after fixing it I tried again but had the same problem but this time I snapped the main spar. After replacing it, I went out to try again (this video)... At the time I didn't realise that there was in fact an issue with the aircraft... but I got so angry with it I decided to throw it until it was either broken or airborne. THE PROBLEM: When I snapped the spar a while back i suspected something was wrong and looked into CG and motor angle. CG was fine, and when I looked at another MD photo online the motor angle looked fine too. I now know that the motor angle was NOT ok. It was aiming down, making the nose want to go up! I just had to bend the back of the plane back into shape and now its a the right angle again. I must have just been really unlucky with the random picture I found online :( oh well, at least I know I wasn't going crazy. ☕️ 👋🏻 Hey, thanks for watching!
