My first water rescue

[PaulG-rc]

We were at the beach this morning to test an Icon A5

This is a small video clip of my friend Jean's Icon A5 crash on its maiden flight.
We are not shure yet of what cause the left roll on take-off but we suspect the right aileron servo .
Since there was very little damage a new receiver will be install first and will check for servo glitches again.

I think he flipped on a rock as the canopy only got ding.

My Airboat did a good job :D

Nice one Paul.

Do you have a water rudder installed on your rescue boat?

[PaulG-rc]

Nice one Paul.

Do you a water rudder installed on your rescue boat?

Yes I had to make a small rudder extension so that I can turn at slow speed when I approach the plane.

I thought so turning on floats I understand is tricky without a water rudder.

Its actually not bad with the prop blast hitting the big rudder but to manouver at slow speed to approach a target its better to have direct water contact.

C'est du bon sauvetage Paul:) Demande lui de regarder le filage des servo des ailerons. Les raccord en plastiques des ailes a la jonction du fuselage, coupent le filage des servo d'ailés si il sont forcé.J'ai eu le meme trouble avec le mien, j'ai regardé le filage du servo de aile gauche apres coup.:eek: un des trois brin étais coupé...
