$35000 GIANT RC jet explosion! 🔥😳 

The real explosion occurred when he got home and told his wife what happened to the $35,000 RC jet that he spent all his retirement money on.

Sorry for the guy who lost his plane, but he was putting on an excellent show.

If you're gonna have such an epic crash, the best you can hope for is someone at least gets it on camera. This camera guy did a great job.

Imagine having $35000.

Even the crash looked like the real thing! Very sad, it was a beautiful plane being very skillfully flown.

Boy, those $10,000 mini Stingers really work! My G.I. Joe really nailed that sucker.

As an old RC instructor told me years ago, "If you aren't willing to crash it, you never should have built it!"

Thoughts and prayers for the pilot's family ☹️

Looks like thrust pipe failure. Would have melted through the elevator servo leads fairly quickly. Sorry for the loss but happened safely. Good piloting in all aspects.

Flying RC planes is an exercise in humility and impermanence. I’ve felt awful losing a $600 plane. $35000, I can’t imagine.

I can't get over how realistic these RC Aircraft are . That crash almost looked real too, but the aircrew didn't eject.

One reason I have RC tanks. When the battery or engine fails, it doesn’t fall out of the sky.

Even the explosion was to scale! LOL

The announcer gave a top speed, but I was wondering what g-force he was pulling in those snap-to-verticals. I was waiting for the wings to come off.

That is one hell of great pilot and being someone that loves everything RC this makes me really feel for the guy.

Sorry for your loss. Kudos on your flying sir, you rocked it.

Jets tend to do that boomy thing when crashed into a field. Pretty spectacular flying though, right up till the boom.

Let's Give a round of Applause to the Cameraman..!!!

I spent 3 years building a Ray Hayes Oly III 3 meter sailplane, it was flawless. On my second outing, I flew it into a steel power pole and it looked like someone threw 10 deck of cards in the air. I was sick for months. I feel for this dude.
