Kevin Fairgrieve Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Looks like some sort of structual faliure of the elevons and then the engine pod. Kev Edited By Kevin Fairgrieve on 22/10/2013 17:30:37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 looks like the engine pod ripped off and took the elevon with it. then the other side did the same. what a shame. so the film airplane was right when they rolled a concorde.

Paul Marsh Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Surprised how long the model flew after losing one elevon/engine pod, then the other and climbed for a bit before going into a slow dive. How long before CS is here, crying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 What a shame. It looked good too up to that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 A great shame that... but both engines give way within seconds? Very odd that. I wonder if there is any more information. Did someone forget to fit some bolts or something? I'm assuming as it was flying at a show that this was not the first flight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devcon1 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Just curious if the Czech have an "LMA" type body that oversees such large models. As GrahamC said it appears some common mechanical error occured as opposed to a unexpected structural failure or had the model been subjected to flight speeds it had not experienced before?

Simon Chaddock Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Looking closely I am not sure the jets themselves actually came free only the pod around it but it did look like it took the elevator as well. It also looked like quite a serious fire. In the wrong place that could be even more serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's that problem with not embedding it in a certain way for apple os devices.... John privett figured out the fix in another thread.....

MR P Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Well Craig, I'm afraid Apple don't tell you that you can't see Flash content on their devices. Maybe you should by a P.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 OK, well if this works for you folk, and doesn't cause a problem for anyone else. Which I think we proved elsewhere. Then we'll just have to get the message out - not to use the "old" embed code any more. I just wish the goalposts would stay still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingCrust Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Views fine on my MacBook Air. Never had a problem with any embedded vids. I do use Firefox rather than Safari, though. Such a shame. As has been said it looked a nice model. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Slightly strange crash. One pod letting go could be back luck - but the other onefollowing it would suggest a design fault. I wonder had it flown before? There is also a bit of elevator waggling going on just before the first pod loss, perhaps its just a coincidence or maybe the elevator starting detacting before the pod?

PatMc Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 The control surfaces were still attached when it crashed. And it had flown previously Edited By PatMc on 24/10/2013 17:50:20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
