A-10 Warthog catches fire on takeoff (huge RC model plane) 

what a nice landing he was able to pull off, especially under pressure. looks like it will be able to fly again.

Look at all those GIANT PEOPLE!!

Mothstrike... Left engine ingested it...

I was gonna say 4+ extinguishers is kinda overkill, but then changed my mind when I saw how stubborn that fire was!

this is CHEATING ! There should be RC fire engines and playmobil firemen running after that burning aeroplane .... tstststststs

The guys should have ran there with the fire extinguishers making fire truck noises lol

Sorry for the owner but that looked absolutely cool!!

1:58 You just have to love the barefoot firefighter running along the runway...

SO GLAD you had so little damage, great reaction time and way to stay calm. That is a brilliant looking aircraft, the amount of work shows. Hope to see much more soon!

I know nothing about RC Airplane flying other than I think it very cool. That said I'm glad the A-10 was not badly damaged.

Great response by the ground crew!!

I didn't know the A10 had afterburners

"Lets See that in slow motion" *Shows 5fps video*

I absolutely love the team effort here. great salvage. a10 is a survivalist, from a 20 in craft to this to full scale. beast

and that is how it's done. great landing in a very bad situation, response team put out the fire with minimal damage to the model. this should be a AMA training video!

And just like the real A-10, it takes a major catastrophe and still lands lol.

Nice emergency landing and an excellent response from the ground crew! Glad they saved that beautiful plane.

Sh*t....even the A10 models are tough.

Here is the reason why.... There were no afterburners for a start. Why the long start? Pretty simple, one engine blew a glow plug, so just as easy to use a lighter up the back end, But before you do the engine has to cool down to 90 deg before it will allow another start. Why did both engines blow? Not one of you were close to a guess, Do to the fact both engine systems were separate the best guess is a voltage spike killed the ECU's causing the runaways, Both ecu's were electrically fried when I looked at them. seems they shorted and put full battery voltage to the pumps hence the engines blowing and then not stopping when back on the ground until battery power was cut. I quite like how xjet changed the video description from lucky save and great piloting to calling it reckless and endangering, How would he know? I was flying the model, I had a fair idea of what was going on, I also had full control, no problems as they say.. More like sour grapes for xjet getting kicked off the flying site.

I was in the Air Force when the A10 was commissioned. It was designed to be a robust aircraft. This RC benefited from that design philosophy. It's suppose to fly with one engine and parts of it's wings blown off. It's a beautiful model.

Beautiful model and an impressive emergency landing!

Great save...But you can't impress the experts. Love the A10 THUNDERBOLT.I think it's awsum, not ugly.

What a fast response team

Pilot did a pretty good job of bringing it in hot! ;) Good work from the ground crew.

I just wanted to congratulate the pilot on a very nice recovery that could have ended some much worse. And of cause the people on the ground organizing the emergence effort Nice video Bruce sad we don't get any like these anymore but you are still producing World Class Content.

Ahahahaah look at that guy running with sandals and short shorts

Im thinking 4 more fire extinguishers would have done the trick.

Nice touch with the D-Day markings ala P-47 Thunderbolt

the pilot did a great job

2:41, Bootyshorts Floppyhat to the feckin rescue!!

My hat is off to the pilot for keeping a cool head to safely land the plane. 👍👍

good to see how many fire extinguishers they had there

Nice emergency landing just in time!!!

Am I the only one dying of laughter watching them put the engine fire out?

Your description was so refreshingly honest that I had to watch your video even though I am personally not that interested in model planes. This one is awesome though.

It's so awesome how it actually uses jet engines!!!!!

*EJECT EJECT EJECT!* Has anyone fitted an ejector seat to one of these scale models? I'm off to search that!

This is why I always use genuine GE j79s. Oh yea, they cost a little more but...

Landing a plane like that in an emergency, nobody hit by the plane, plane relatively ok.. respect.

So awesome. Hats off to the pilot. Great job, maestro.

wow I never saw an RC catch on fire! this is a real aircraft with hazards to be prepared for I didnt know hahaha

Perfect emergency landing :D

Looked like he got hit by a burst of AAA in that turn. Glad the pilot survived.

That is one damn fine pilot! A cinder block flies better than a deadstick A-10. Kudos my friend.

Who else realized that the voices in slow motion sounded a bit like chewbacca

Darn good pilot.

there is nothing like proof you are a true enthusiast ;) I donated my previous build to the cadets 40th squadron of Moose Jaw, sponsored by the 15wing, yes I lived there and my son enjoyed the build. Snow birds. Sorry you consider the message to be spam. I call it self promotion. Again I enjoyed your video , thank you.

Good job jumping on the situation quick with fire extinguishers. Well done guys.

No RC fire truck? 😟

OH THE HUMANITY!!!!

In slow-mo you could hear all the goats in the pasture. Very cool video & great flying. Long live the Warthogs...

AMAZING model, well done

LMAO! 2:38. THOSE SHORTS!!!!!!

VERY NICE EMERGENCY LANDING

That was awesome. I love the A-10's

Damn good job for keeping calm and bringing it back home.

That's what happens when a flock of mosquitoes gets sucked into the engine, good thing Capt. Sully brought her home safely.

They are so stupid standing so close to the engines they might get sucked in

great reactions from the peoples around! thats what i call teamwork!!

its like one of those trick re-igniting birthday candles

I'd love to see somebody actually make the gun fire airsoft pellets. I know airsoft miniguns exist, but I wonder what it would take to retrofit one into an RC plane like this.

I hope the pilot is okay.

Great landing!! Tough under pressure. And great help getting the fire out.

Excellent pilot skills in an emergency!! Well done. Textbook landing

Such a shame that happened to such an apparently well-made model!

am I the only one that wants to see a video from a gopro placed in the cockpit?

That looked so cool with the flames coming out the back.

Guy in the black tee was on it like gangbusters w/that fire extinguisher!

These videos are scary. My brother died the exact same way.

Where are the RC crash trucks??

Great the way he reacted and caught the plane without panicing!

That fire was like "I'm not going down without a fight!"

Where are all the RC fire rescue trucks???? Just saying.....

I love how FOUR people rush with a fire extinguisher, lol

He flew it in like a pro. Kudos!

Awesome i love this kinda stuff

nice landing but shut at power to that plane

that's what you get for giving it the tail number of 149. I hated that damned jet. ironically because its engines leaked and vibrated out of limits like crazy all the damned timed time.

this is the most coolist thing i've seen in my whole life

This reminds me of those birthday candles that keep reigniting themselves.

Precisely how not to use a fire extinguisher.

four firemen to put out a model plane engine!

Sick afterburners, look really cool

Glad things weren't much worse, very cool video to watch.

Thank goodness for the dork wearing flip flops bringing a forth extinguisher. Hope he didn't waste a fried turkey leg.

well to me this looks like they're using Co2 extinguishers, which in an environment outside like where they are is pretty pointless. there is oxygen everywhere, no wonder they have to ask for more extinguishers. powder or foam extinguishers they should be using on this

I know it would be a waste, but I wish you had let the plane keep flying so the whole thing catches fire and stay in the air until the mechanics burn out. That would be epic!

Great video great landing

Can't even fly our RC planes without the North Koreans trying to take em down. wtf

LOL! Look at all those guys running over to the toy plane, are they afraid the toy pilot is gonna die?

Gahhhh. The flames. The FLAMES!!!! Im like. Keep extinguishing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAHHH the humanity. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The guy in the flip flops knows how to relax while putting out a fire, he knows what's up. lol

Wow so many experts in one place!

NICE SAVE!

Great landing!

Damn fine landing under mental pressure watching your bucks going up in smoke, bravo that man and the team that controlled the fire afterwards. On the outset looked like the fire and subsequent extinguishing of didn’t cause the amount of damage it could have 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

the e- landing tho. that's a really good pilot!

hahaha WOW!!! so many fire extinguishers for such a wittle pwane!! lol and still more come running!! love it!!

This is way I won't trust one of those Manned Jet packs that use these motors. Thank's Bruce for the video.

I glad they work together to save.this plane,I am impressed how well they work together,so much time and money in these amazing planes.
