F-15 Eagle Crash! What went wrong?
* Please read. I like the Airfield equipment and planes, but in this case, the Transmitter on/off switch got me. I knew this switch moved very easily along with the throttle stick, but in the wind today and while trying to trim my F-15 by "Braille", it got the best of me. See what happened, and remember, if it can happen, it will. For me, is too difficult to look down at the TX when flying in extreme winds, etc., so standard transmitter ergonomics should be considered. Otherwise, you may wind up like I did today. I can't even imagine looking down trying to see RPM and battery info, and process it, when it is hard enough just to find the trim switches and keep track of flying a very fast plane. I think the ON/OFF switches should have switch guards on them like our old Kraft Transmitters had back in the day. But what did we know then? Transmitter manufacturers should take a look at the past, so we don't have to live with their re-inventions. You'd think by now they would have some standard configurations. I produced this video for you folks to learn from, so pay attention so you hopefully won't do the same thing. It makes for happier flying. Best regards. Thanks for watching, and subscribing.
