Ryan's P51 D Janie Maiden

- Taking a full year to scratch build from Ziroli plans, this 1/4.6 scale P-51D Mustang had its first flight attempt in April of 2024. Unfortunately it suffered a prop strike during initial takeoff, and the next attempt at her maiden was delayed until June 13th of the same year. Returning to RAMS field in East Bend, NC, pilot Ryan once again suffered a prop strike on take off, but this time he had several spares on hand. Fortunately, only one more replacement was needed, but there were still plenty of thrills involved in getting airborne!

Beautiful plane, but I could do without the music.
I wish I had a dime for every comment I get on music choice (negative AND positive)! Regardless, I'm curious which music track you're referring to?
@@lehshoot In the beginning of the video.
I agree.
@@lehshootI love the music, it's perfect. You cut the music when necessary.
@@ericruggles4631 Thanks Eric. The intro music was there to support the opening stills, plus to muffle some of the conversations that were going on around me. You might have noticed that after the music fades, the comments on things like flying advice are near constant. Sorry I can't satisfy everyone on the choice of music . . .
Whomever keeps saying nose heavy is full of crap its tail heavy plain as day.
It is neither, I didn't have enough power. I had to put down trim in it. It flew great. I have a muffler problem restricting engine performance.
@@ryanbowman1152 Thank you. For some reason everyone in this hobby ALWAYS jumps to "tail heavy" without understanding the actual effects of having an aft CG.
I was about to comment the same thing, glad to see Im not the only one who thought wtf is this guy saying???
@@ryanbowman1152 Not enough power with an 85cc? Your plane should be scaring nazis in their tombs with that engine.... something is seriously wrong on the setup of the engine. As for the CG, it's too tail heavy nonetheless - no matter if you have enough thrust of not.
Fine looking model, I feel like I have aged 5 years just watching that take off! Hope you get it sorted for the next go!
Perfect example of never stop flying it!!!
Great recovery 😊 would have been a shame to loose her 😢 Hopefully you get the engine pulling better before the next attempt 👍
That music is great for my bowel movements! Keeps everything loose and sloppy...like yer flying!
Well, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing!!! Nice P51!
Awesome Plane, Awesome Flight, and AWESOME music !
Yes something fundamentally wrong there. Great save after a bad decision to continue the take off. Nosing over could be gear geometry. Nice model, I can see the quality build.
Good save.
I didn't realise before watching this that you could not fly a plane.
Keep practising my friend 🙂🙃😉
Beautiful plane
My guess would be more power as you stated and more elevator authority. You could hear the motor was not running right.
Let’s add a bit of positivity, shall we! Beautiful model, good job.😊
Too much excitement for a maiden flight.
Very good job quelle maitrise au décollage 👌
I assure everyone, the plane is balanced! I have a muffler issue restricting max engine performance that i didn't understand until now. It will be fixed before flying again. The nosing over problem on takeoff is a wheel problem. My wheels are to soft. This will also be resolved. Aborting a takeoff is easier said than done if your not the one with your hands on the sticks. Maidens are maidens for a reason.
Yes the landing was fine. Well saved that man! :) Best of luck with round two!
If I build one after watching that remind me to leave it under the bench.
Thats what i was thinking, that plane has no power. But SHOULD! GOOD SAVE!
How can you maiden without checking the CG ? Nice save though 👍👍
Too nice of a model to not have a correct, 4 blade prop that IS AVAILABLE in all pitch and sizes…
It does look a little tail heavy but you have more of an issue of p-factor you got to put that right Rudder in there my man😂😂😂
Good for static display..admiring evey details😆
Wow, g😅eat recovery!!!
Not enough airspeed on take off. The left wing was stalling. Maybe a bit less pitch on the prop would've hurt. What altitude is your airfield? Was it a hot day?
Is this field in North Carolina, near Maiden, NC? Does the DLE 85 Vibrate a lot? Is she overweight? She was struggling to get airborne? And CG I assume is spot on? Perhaps a throttle up elevator mix will help? Small, small up.
RAMS field is in East Bend, NC, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours NE of Maiden. If you check on the RAMS website, you can get a precise location. Please see Ryan's comments (Builder/owner/pilot) to get his opinion on what the difficulty is.
More money than knowledge and skill.
power to weight ratio is definitely the problem..
Why not have a 4-blade prop?
Do people not know how important balancing a plane is? I build big warbirds and spend hours sometimes getting the balance just right for the maiden. Also, for the maiden, the plane SHOULD be a little nose heavy. Avoid perfectly neutral cg based on manual. Tiny bit nose heavy. Strongly suggest Xicoy balancing pucks. For $350 the club should buy one for all to use. We put too much time and money into these beasts to have them fly poorly on a maiden.
jesus
Scale planes are difficult.
Höhenunterschied falsche Richtung?
Three ISSUES IMO. Not enough forward rake on the mains and tires to small so plane wants to pitch forward, second alot of engine do2n thrust. Lastly tail heavy. Good piloting to sqve the plqne on take off°
She struggled to get airborne, your suggestions may also be helpful
the engine has not enough power and has too much "fall", so it seems, that the plane is tal-heavy and it stuck in the gras....lift the engine-fall up
Man you should buy lottery tickets. Waaay tail heavy IMHO. Need to recheck. AND get someone else to maiden as the takeoff decision was bad. I am not a good enough pilot to maiden that plane in that configuration!!
Neesds more grunt
w.t.f????? am i at a disco????
Christ on a bike! ABORT! ABORT!
Maiden flight and it's hauled oof the ground and staggered into the air above the outfield!
That was nearly a years worth of time investment plus all the costs reduced to rubbish for the sake of a few more taxi runs and a bit of thought.
So I'm guessing you didn't like the video? Don't be bashful now . . . mash that thumbs down button!
I find it a really interesting study in human nature how some folks are eager to comment on outcomes after they witness a result. I believe that most of us can only dream about spending a year to scratch build a masterpiece and then have the guts to risk it all on seeing if it will actually fly. As for the true cause of the marginal success, I'm confident the issues will be sorted in the near future.
@@lehshoot A little context, as it's often lost in textual replies/comments.
I don't "dislike" the video. And you presumably posted this video for some commentary? Well I'm glad the builder/pilot got away with it and genuinely hope that he gets the model sorted and enjoys many great flights with it.
However as amateurs in a hobby we still have some responsibility for conducting things in a safe manner. That model weighs 44 lbs and is capable of a lot of destruction. Just being insured isn't enough to counteract the potential mayhem that it could cause.
That flight "should" have been aborted the instant it turned left.
With the distinct risk of being seen as a gatekeeper which I am not trying to be.... I've been flying rc models of all types for 45 years now. And I crashed and crashed as everyone does, and will do. At times people have "commented" on the mistakes I made that contributed either partly or fully to those crashes. Even at the time I was thankful for understanding what went wrong, and it pains me to see people making simple mistakes when they have invested so much into the model and the flight.
So, to be clear I hope, perhaps people watching this video will learn something from it, rather than just obtain some gallows humour from watching someone struggling.
That was the third "maiden".
@@lehshootit's several things that some of comments mentioned. Do all that appears logical.
@@alexmcmeekin2658 Alex, thanks for your clarification. Unfortunately, you have indeed made an incorrect assumption. I do NOT create these videos to collect commentaries. My channel is NOT monetized, and the primary reason that I spend the time doing the work is for the benefit of our local RC club in Conover NC, of which the builder/owner/pilot of this model is a member. The videos I post help to keep our members informed on what's going on at the club and serve to document flights so that pilots can diagnose problems and also to provide entertainment locally. I get a kick out of it because I like R/C models and am an avid photographer and videographer. Monetization of a channel imposes a raft of requirements that I simply don't want to deal with, but I do allow comments in order to provide encouragement to our members. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all those comments were polite?
Elevator problem, and crap music. 😮
get rid of the music !
Habt ihr Amis keine ordentlichen Schalldämpfer???Tolles Flugzeug aber der Sound ist grausam
Excellent video plus terrible music = video fail. Please please please stop ruining flying videos with music....please stop.
Absoluted is under power! DLE is not suitable an engine for this type of airplane. This size warbird needs a great engine like a Roto motor 125 two inline cilinders.
That's a ton of effort, time and money to put into an aircraft you didn't balance. You could have saved yourself a ton of grief.
What makes you think it's not balanced?
Incompetent builder and flyer.
Tail heavy not nose heavy.
I had to stop watching after a few seconds, you ruined it with that fricken music
Sorry Jesse! But I guess we're even. You ruined my day with your rude comment.
Music ruined this video! Could not bare to watch it!
Its too nose heavy!
Engine tune sounds off too
You expose yourself as a rank beginner rc pilot. I wouldnt trust you with a trainer. You should have waiting for your skill to catch up with your plane
Al que edito el video le pregunto: cual seria para vos el sentido de tapar con una musica de mierda que no pega para nada con el video el ruido del motor que es lo verdaderamente importante? no se cuanto hace que haces video pero la erraste mal, NO LE PONGAS MAS MUSICA A UN MOTOR DE AVION!!!
