Maiden - Arrows Hobby - T28 Trojan - Disaster

Описание: This was the maiden crash of my 1100mm T28 Trojan by Arrows Hobby..

8th April 2021

I contribute everything here to the set up Prior to flight and the actions taken during the flight (all my own mistakes).

I have a Runcam on the Left wing but no counter weight on the right wing, also I forgot to fit the nose weight to correct the CG (Runcam is behind the CG) - these counter weights had all been prepared but not fitted (My Error)...

The wind was making it very difficult to test the CG so rather than stop, I decide that it should be OK (and it would have been had I fitted the counter weights) but I had not, so the CG was not correct..

The result is out of balance left to right also tail heavy... its never good flying a tail heavy aircraft !!!
