Hi Jonathan, I had a similar event with my F4 some time ago. 4 flights with no problems, On the 5th just after takeoff the rpm was suddenly restricted...full throttle only gave me just above idle thrust = controlled crash. The reason was a PARTIALLY blocked breather line. This caused the fuel pump to draw plenty current trying to deliver the commanded Fuel Flow. Once cleared all was good,,,except a new nose 👃 😅

Ouch, sorry to see this. I had a similar scenario with my first Super Scorpion where the turbine lost power, dropped below idle, became unresponsive, did not failsafe but would not spool. I never really knew what happened but put it down to some kind of fuel restriction or cavitation. Turbine error message was Low RPM just like for air bubbles but the fuel system and air trap were tested after and seemed to be totally perfect. It's easy to second guess what should have been done - at the time it is difficult to judge what to do. Also VERY IMPORTANT to point out this happened a week before the current Alberta-Wide fire ban was in effect (May 5th is when the ban started.)

This is just an analysis, not a criticism! None of us have never made a mistake! That last turn for the runway was the mistake, it was never going to make it. The wing loading and drag was never going to allow it. The best choice would have been on the downwind leg to accept no power, and retract the gear and lift the flaps and turn in diagonally to try and belly the grass. Done right the model would not have been pointed at the pits looking at the field layout. You'd have had some scratches but little else. The other choice would have been to retract the gear, land straight ahead lifting the flaps before touchdown. If the flaps are on a slow timer then you'd have to guess the timings. That would have given more scratching and perhaps a little damage and maybe some servo stripping/flap damage. But it would have been safest. It's never easy in the instant, and I repeat, it's not a criticism. I learnt the hard way myself about situations like this. Congratulations by the way for being so cool and sanguine about it! That's a far better attitude than many, many others!

Trying to get back to the runway, depending on circumstances of course, but most commonly after engine failure after takeoff, is often in general aviation called "the impossible turn". Not enough energy to keep up the necessary airspeed while making the turn results in a stall and a spin. Keep that airspeed up, and repeat for yourself, don't stall it, don't stall it, don't stall it, next time. Look around and make a plan when you're on the field for alternative places where to put it down before takeoff in case something like this happens again. Almost anything is better to land on than a stall and spin into the ground.

Boy, I really feel bad for the loss. But something can be learned out of this. The crash was completely avoidable. Flying straight, pulling the gear up. Would have save the aircraft, get the nose down and glide to the ground. As slow as it was, there is really no way to make a turn and use the elevator without absolutely slowing the plane to stall. If you are slow and going down, just keep the nose down and fly straight. Obviously if you have enough residual speed it’s not a problem. I have made it 360° from only 15 or 20 feet because it had a lot of speed to make a proper landing. but making any turns while you’re slow will catch your air speed really fast.

Remember a few things guys. Yes. This is a learning experience which is why I share this stuff. 1. Engine didn’t flame out. Was still running. So you have a few seconds to make decisions. A few of those seconds were realizing that there was no throttle response. 2. Then in 0.5 seconds you get to decide what to do. Field had been freshly turned over. So landing in field with gear up or down would have been bad. 3. Flaps up and turn to runway. Flaps up to maintain speed. Had the engine quit 2 seconds earlier and audibly quit like normal, I would have turned right away and made it to runway no problem. 4. Be careful judging people with stuff like this. I have dead stick landed F18’s, tutor multiple times, 1/4 scale L39 multiple times and many others. Timing, altitude, airspeed, position, airframe etc are all factors. Learn, learn, learn

That really sucks Jonathan! So sorry man I know that jet is one of your favorites. I do have a question though. Does the Jeti radio have a global throttle trim or does it change with each flight mode position? Reason I ask is because I got bit by JRs system not having a global throttle trim on the T14 and I forgot to raise the throttle trim to full on my landing flight mode and it was at zero trim. The engine didn’t shut off till I landed because the Swiwins have a safety feature built in where if the RPM is above 25% the engine stays running. And I remember you saying that you were gonna cut the power out a bit sooner since it floats. Not sure if that’s the cause but that’s an idea that came to my mind. Once again, so sorry.

I have been thinking of the importance of combining telemetry and logical voice alerts. this may have been discussed but have you thought of creating a voice alarm where if the engine is expected to be running and there is throttle input but rpm is low than it will sound a warning on your jeti? Reaction time is critical in these situations and a "turbine low speed " warning may have helped make you more aware sooner and afford you a few more precious seconds to take corrective actions. This idea was made clear to me on another podcast by Lior Zahavi. kzitem.info/news/bejne/tYaY2qKEfnOmlKQ

So many frustrating emotions when you loose a plane caused by mechanical issues. I recently lost my 2.2m viper due to my right flap servo failing so I can empathize. I look forward to a video from you explaining what happen. This is what I love about our hobby, we all learn from sharing information be it good or bad. Love your channel. Cheers, from Houston, Texas

Im so sorry to see this Jon! Ill be anxious to know the after flight report to know what happened. The stall from lack of power was obvious, but what caused the power loss? Im sure you will run it down. Ouch indeed my friend. 😢

What'd it hurt most ??? Feelings Plane or Wallet ???
Trying to make it back to the runway was a mistake, we all do it eventually. Should have kept the gear, flaps and airspeed up and landed in the field on your belly. The fuselage appears fixable. I've seen worse rebuilt nicely. Sorry this happened to you. Best regards.

How do you keep the airspeed up when you've lost power?

dont forget that the road is in the background. He would have been trying to avoid that at all costs.

Miss the days of my $100 Forty Size planes with $80 engines. I never crashed one beyond minor landing damage but even if I totaled one it would not be a huge financial loss. Feel for you, that will be very $$$$ to fix.
