Fine flying indeed - but I'd like everyone to know what a great job the cameraman did tracking the flight. Anyone who has tried to track aircraft will know this and how very well this was done.
Yes OUTSTANDING.....none of that zooming in to where you can't get an actual feel for the ground speed. To all other cameramen, forget the zoom when filming RC, If you do, remember to zoom out when it's on it's way back!
Sometimes it hard to keep the ground and or tree line in view but it does help you get a feel for the speed. Thanks for watching and checking out my channel
That was the smoothest flying of an RC that I have seen in years. Bummer on engine failure and crash, but I am sure he will be back in no time. Great video
@@TestECull $20k is a comically high figure for the damage done in this video. Realistically it’s $5k lost. That is the price of an annual inspection on my airplane, or the price of like 3 of my guns. Less than one of my watches. Everything is relative and compared to a lot of hobbies like this it is not very expensive. That doesn’t mean it’s cheap, although it can be if you want it to.
If u flat spin a turbine aircraft once and u don t flame out, take the win and do some other acrobatic stuff. Too bad about the jet tho. It looked awesome
Very cool model with an actual "scale" speed. I hate watching the models that rip across the sky and look like models. This one looks more like a real aircraft in flight.
Not sure how untimely it was. Looked like he was depending on that engine to get him out of the conditions he was putting the plane in for most of the flight. Great flying but it's asking for trouble as well.
@@wokbok43 Clearly he means RC pilot. As both a pilot and an RC pilot I can tell you they are both very challenging and both require piloting skills. This guy is insanely capable.
@@FASTFREDDIE-R.C. Yes, I think flame out is quite a risk when doing so many manouevres that interrupt the airflow so much, but having said that, it handled quite a few of them before the bad one...
Superb model and awesome flying beyond the fligh envelope. Flame out due to high rotation rate flat spin. Sorry for the crash. Sincere congrats and cheers from France.
Are flame-outs and compressor stalls the same thing, or closely related to one another? When the aircraft was doing the vertical spins around its own axis I immediately was thinking of the risk of compressor stall and then decided these small-scale engines must be a lot more immune to it than full size turbojets. But then the engine failed at the end and I revised my thinking. Amazing model, amazing piloting - I hope it can be rebuilt and back in the air soon ❤
@@user-ov4mk9ox8y Yep, definitely a possibility. I was into RC a long while ago but not these days. I'd imagine this plane, given how costly and advanced it is, might have a low fuel sensor - or at the very least the pilot would have a very good handle on the flight time available - and then keep well within the estimated time limit. And in line with what you've said, I got the strong sense that the flight was about to come to an end, just before the crash - so that would support the possibility of it running out of fuel (and the pilot just didn't quite get his timing calculations right). But the engine stopping during that 'flat spin' manoeuvre makes me favour a flame-out or compressor stall - it's quite a tricky thing to keep the fuel-pick-up (that's inside of the tank) always in contact with the fuel when a RC plane is pointing up, pointing down, right side up or upside down. And coupled with the centrifugal forces throwing the fuel all around the tank, I'd reckon a fuel interruption is a strong possibility too. The final thing is that the turbojet engine is sucking in *a lot* of air, and this happens most effectively when the engine is travelling fast, relative to the flow of the jet. The aerodynamics around a turbojet intake are really complex. At the moment of the engine failing the plane was more-or-less stationary in the air, and moreover it was spinning around almost on its own axis. That would disrupt the airflow into the intake - and maybe made the airflow 'dirty' enough to cause compressor stall or flame-out. The 'pop;' and the puff of black smoke is possibly caused by unburnt fuel being exhausted, if the combustion process had ceased (flame-out). I reckon the owner/pilot will shed more light on what happened in response to the questions that viewers are asking. I'm interested to know what actually happened.
According to the person that was doing the camera work it wasn't a flameout or compressor stall but a catastrophic failure of the turbine engine with an internal explosion of the compressor, that's what the pop and black smoke was that was visible just before the crash.
That was some beautiful flying. I loved the perfect rolling 360. It was a high risk, high reward flight. Stuff happens though. You pick it up and move on. It’s far better than sitting on the couch, and wishing you’d done impressive things in your life. Thanks for the show. Good on ya!!
put a few cameras on that and anyone can experience flying a fighter jet with their feet firmly on the ground. amazing, hope the damage wasn't too bad and was repairable.
I have a video from his midday show from last years Joe Nall posted and more videos of Jase I’m going to post from this year soon stay tuned and thanks for watching
That inverted turn smoothly blended into a knife-edge was the highlight of the flight. The engine flamed out in the worse moment, but such is the hobby, it comes with the territory. Here's hoping that this fine pilot is back in the air with this or another beautiful jet as soon as possible.
This pilot is very skillful for sure. Amazingly smooth and precise. My Carf J10 turbine came apart and managed to crash land. It was repairable but not easy job.
Really nice flying. Getting out of that flat spin induced with vector thrust and without engine was simply impossible. Looks like the engine quit after failing due to gyroscopic forces. Can you please share what turbine brand you were flying?
What an incredible slow rolling circle. Great piloting skills with a incredible airframe. I loved flying my 80mm Futura fomie till i stalled it in. My fault.
Flew in there a few years back, AWESOME place, smoothest, LONGEST grass runway my old airplane has EVER seen! Absolutely beautiful place! I think Triple Tree is where good pilots go when they die!
Best RC Jet demonstration I've ever seen.. Unfortunatly, the engine flame out and crash is bad.. But even that could have been worse, as usually they go up in flames :-(
Excellent photography and I got the feeling the person flying the model got a little to enthusiastic as some of those outside turns the G force load on them was tremendous and any moment I expected the wings to rip off. The last spin with the flame out was such a shame as no one wants to see a model get destroyed. Even if the airframe was scrap hopefully all his components and motor were salvaged
Amazing flying! Bummer about the crash. I want to get into turbines. Is there no battery backup to power the control surfaces? Why did this happen? I’m still very new to rc planes and have a lot to learn still.
I’m guessing all that fantastic maneuvering was due to vectored thrust. Once the thrust quit, we saw how little conventional control authority it really had. Sort of like with a jet ski watercraft…can’t steer them without thrust.
@@FASTFREDDIE-R.C. ya likely because of the flat spin having the air flow 90 degrees to the inlet,,, likely compressor stall that made it blow ,,, you can do flat spins with a prop,,, not so much with a jet lol
Hopefully that plane is ok.it appears like nothing broke.I soo wanted to attend Joe Nall this year,but couldn't afford to.I only live 35 miles away in Greenville S.C.The weather is soo bad I couldn't even fly my own R/C plane.Bummet
In watching this flight the only words that come to mind are elegant, flawless, smooth , professional and tragic - amazing control and a flawless example of a flawless diamond star performance - only question could the engine failure have been due to fuel starvation caused by some of the late high g / centrifical force manuevers??
