This guy should have been banned of the airshow two days before because he was flying in a scary way. In reality this plane reached a speed of 310 mph. At least he paid the price of his show. Luckily nobody was harmed.
@@RCScaleAirplanes Ouch, that's bad. There are rotten apples everywhere. I have had a concussion an 17 stitches in my head when someone hit me with a Robbe Charter (4cc trainer, probably about 2kg). I brushed the incident off back then but looking back at it, two decades later, I realise I have been very, very lucky.
@@RCScaleAirplanes If he had hit a car, it had enough energy that would have gone through both doors. I crashed a .40 - sized trainer into the wall of a mobile home, I misjudged how far the plane was far from me and it went through the wall and it was just cruising at about 30 mph.
@@taofledermaus Without a doubt, I looked up the weight of a smaller turbine model and considering 7 or 8 pounds, the above mentioned. Roughly 50% more energy than the average 50bmg projectile at the muzzle(18000 joule): 34500 joule
Superb Horst! Glad to see there weren't too many write offs. Felt bad for the signal loss and the 260mph with the Heras fence! The Spitfires were both a good lesson... you don't have to land first time!
Thank you Sam. Much appreciated !!! Incorrect estimation of distance and speed is one of the most common causes of model loss. A go around is unfortunately ignored by most pilots.
@@RCScaleAirplanes or forgotten - they they get a kind of fixation where they feel the must land. I try very hard now to just open the throttle if things don't look right, or I have a bounce.
@@avipatable Fully agree. Btw. I've seen many go arounds this year but I decided to show only the two in the video, otherwise people get bored watching the video.
Lol never noticed that cartwheeling pilot so slow mowed it. Very funny but shame about plane I think we have to remember these RC pilots are only doing what the crowd love but yes lets keep it safer.
Routine flights and textbook landings may appear boring to observers, but I'll take boring over busted any day! This video is a great reminder of some of the many things that can go wrong. And, wow, failure can be spectacular!
I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, when watching this video, many of the viewers don't understand at all what it's all about. They think that beginners fly the models here. It's not like that at all. Sometimes you are less concentrated and misjudge speed and distances. Then a situation quickly arises that you have to deal with in fractions of a second to save the model.
@@RCScaleAirplanes beginners will not even get close to the situations shown here. Already having one of the models shown implies a commitment (time and money) to RC-flying greater than any beginner will be prepared to invest.
I just watched all the moments within the playlist and I will say that a lot of pilots need to learn how to land on top wing (trainers) aircraft before transitioning to bottom wing aircraft with large control surfaces and throw. OMG they are coming in way too fast. Way too steep. Then they rush to land causing the aircraft to bounce which either ends up in a crash or loss of control which results in a crash. None of them fly far enough away to approach the landing strip with a nice, easy glide scope. Also, if I’m the owner and pilot of these aircraft and I do a fly by and see no landing gear or missing landing gear etc., I am definitely not going to ditch on asphalt. Instead, I’m ditching into the grass. I do enjoy these *moments* but damn does it prove how some these pilots lack the training required and instead just transitioned right to more advanced models. Thank you for such a wonderful insight into RC with all your playlists and the dedication you show to this amazing hobby!!
I learned early on that when you bounce the plane on landing, just hit the gas and go around. Once it porpoises, just do a go around. If you have to force a landing, well, it will certainly end up on the ground....
Nice compilation! Scary moments indeed but some great saves too. The P-47 at 6:20 is a textbook example of "never give up flying", exactly like that Corsair at the end....
I will never understand the need to make those high speed extremely low passes where one minute twitch or electronic glitch could turn that model into a killing projectile a mere feet from the pilot and spectators.
7:48 the slow clapping from a handful of people after the sudden 260mph explosion right before the announcer mutters holy smoke just sets it off for me haha.
I like the last clip of the Corsair coming home with a broken rudder. In WWII, Corsairs did return to their field or carrier with damaged parts. I remember my RC flight instructor telling me "it's not IF you crash, it's WHEN you crash". Everyone crashes. At first, it's your lack of experience. Later, it's having parts fail (like a servo stops working).
I admit, I winced more than once Horste - some major ouch examples. If I turn the clock back a long way I have had most of those one way and another in early days! My saddest was a favorite plane I'd flown for 3 years or more - all sorts of aerobatics - and one day flying inverted low level - threw elevator wrong way - big ouch of destruction into corn field. Sympathies to all the sufferers! :)
Thanks for your great comment Chris!!! Up until 12 years ago I was also very active in flying. I also had the same case as you - I flew my model in an inverted position at a low altitude and for unknown reasons the elevator had too little deflection, which meant that I could no longer correct it upwards - the result was an impact on the ground. _Cheers, Horst_
yeah, i spoke to the guy with the 260 mph jet that crashed into the metal fence. he said the damage wasn t too bad, he could recover at least one screw and will rebuild.
@@erad05 its because these gentleman are the ones who choose not to fly at their home field on the windy days. Theyd rather not learn their aircraft and save it for an airshow rather than really learn how to fly
Danke Sandro Den crash habe ich zwar gesehen, aber ich hatte die Kamera nicht zur Hand. 🥴 Ansonsten wäre es bestimmt hier zu sehen. Hast du die 2 Videos von Stainztal angeschaut?
That rookie flight officer needs a few more landings under his belt. He'll be buying his ground crew a few beers tonight to get it back in the air again! Minor wear and tear is all, broken prop and a bruised Igo.
The landings: Same procedure as last year? Yes, ... same as every year! (thumb up, exept for part around 7:37 - Disgusting complacency at >400 km/h, I don't like that at all)
Wann war das mit dem Fan Trainer bei 4:20? Ist viel kaputt gewesen? So ein Fantrainer war bei den Nitro Days dabei, der Besitzer heißt Cmyral Peter, ist das der selbe, wie der im Video?
Das war beim Flugtag in Stainztal Ende August 2022 Leider weiß ich nicht ob es Peter Cmyral ist, der dort am Steuer war. Hier kannst du zumindest sehen wer alles an den Vorbereitungen tätig war >>> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dHbGEb5HBNU.html
@@RCScaleAirplanes Danke, ja, das war Peter Cmyral. Dann ist anscheinend nicht viel kaputt gewesen, denn bei den Nitro Days im September hatte er ihn wieder dabei. Er konnte aber leider nicht fliegen, weil der Motor nicht mehr ansprang. 😆
@@gecrashed6565 Das Modell hatte ein Vollbad im Bach genommen. Anspringen wollte das Biest auch in Stainztal nicht ums verrecken. Dann hatte sich einer geopfert und seine Finger riskiert, weil er ihn per Hand gestartet hatte. Mit dem Akkuschrauber gab es Probleme, da wohl Männchen und Weibchen nicht mehr richtig zusammengepasst haben. 👍😂
Ja. Manche haben es leider nicht überlebt. 😥 Das wichtigste ist immer, dass keine Personen zu Schaden kommen. Modelle lassen sich irgendwie immer ersetzen. VG, Horst
After watching these, I am so glad I was taught by a retired Eastern airlines pilot who knew how to fly an RC airplane. For the love of God, please learn to use your rudder.
So many lovely RC planes here,with alot of dollars spent. Unfortunately most of the pilots were underskilled in their flight operation,with the exception of the gold futura pilot and a couple of others. Just goes to show that a bigger wallet doesn't make a better pilot,whether that is full scale or RC. If most pilots would fly more scale,they could b alot smoother,from take off roll to landing,avoiding ugly inputs to correct the situation. In the majority of cases,it seems yank and bank is here to stay. There were some exceptions but that was the minority here. The red fast jet pilot was a loony,luckily no one was injured or killed,only the pilots pride and wallet took a beating. To engage at those speeds with so many people close by and not orientated over the runway? Sorry,absolute madness. A contest director's nightmare. Great camera work,thanks for sharing. To all pilots thanks for showing some beautiful aircraft.
lost signal, smashes straight into the ground, THATS THE FAILSAFE?!?!?! Whats the emergency landing like? find a petrol station and plummet straight into it ASAP? :D
Man what happen to people watching these videos and enjoying them? In the rc hobby they crash is what happens. Doesn't matter if it's small or big or slow or fast. It's part of the hobby. You actually have more of a chance of a car passing you on a free way at 75mph hitting you head on then an rc hitting you. But it has happened. These accidents won't cause the hobby to go away. You people complaining like whiny little girls is what will cause it to fall. That aside alot of these videos are funny and I wish I could have been there lol
i am amazed at the amount of money and time put into these models, only to be "flown" by people who likely should still be putting in time on a trainer. The odd "stepdown/brink of tip stall" landing approaches are some real clues as to who has more money than piloting skills.
Das ist kein Hindernis, sondern Werbebanner. Wenn man mit einem Jet mit über 400 km/h im Tiefflug über den Platz fegt, sollte man wissen, was man tut. Die Banner wurden ja nicht während des Fluges aufgebaut.
@@RCScaleAirplanes Nee weil die Zuschauer sind ja nicht am Boden fixiert, sollte sowas jedoch passieren dann haben der Veranstalter und der Pilot ein grosses Problem.
8:00 Barriers with advertisements could not be placed in a more stupid place. The height of folly. Several planes were drawn to these ads like a magnet.
what can we learn here? well people should put their money on rc pilot lessons instead of buy expensive planes, damit Warbirds need more speed in the landing, everyone who has flown a ww2 bird know that. is this pilots that just shows off their models and fly once a year in best case or what?. put the money to get some lessons and trainer mode radios...
A lot of those Warbird - "Landings" are just painful to watch... So many of those Pilots seem to be just overstrained! You can already see it in the approaches, that it will not end well. They fly too fast and don't flare, wich causes major bouncing, they fly to slow to be able to flare at all and just stomp it in, they have very poor pitch control over their models... And all of this ist very clear to see, several seconds before the inevitable end, so plenty of time to just go around and start a new attempt you would think. But noo, because they just keep going because they dont even seem to realize what's going wrong. Sadly, this seems to be very common in the big-scale community. You would guess, the bigger the planes, the better the pilots - but more often than not, it's the opposite
