Control line tragedy 

I feel bad for the poor fellow really. Many hours spent on the fine points of scale modeling with a beautiful model.

With the desire to run the engine at that rich or low throttle setting in order to achieve more realism, the loop should have been started after a dive in order to gain more speed.

"Shit" was the first word that came out of my mouth when it bit the dust. A real shame. My condolences.

Never allow slack on the cables, as soon as you feel slack take a couple of steps back and pull in your arm to regain tension. on Another note he made the mistake of trying a wing over with the engine poorly tuned . Well that's u control in a nut shell.

Oh, that's tough. All the hours of building and detailing you scale guys spend. That's what really hurts.

I wouldnt even launch if the engine was running like that.. NO POWER to keep lift or string tension tight. And I havent flown a control line since I was about 8 years old...

Pity, such a nice build!

Not In Bad Spirit But Skip To 5:10

I was hoping it was going to break of it's line and go on a rampage shooting at the people or something. fly free poor plane

Hard crash.. I'm surprised they did not try to lean out the engine a few clicks before takeoff.. The plane was flying "heavy" too or just under-powered from the overly rich engine. Sometimes the engine leans out in flight.. I guess it didn't that time. Any attempt at a loop was ill advised. I'm surprised he did not do a "test and tune" flight on site that day before competing.

In RC we typically fly by the rule that if something sounds or looks wrong you announce your intentions and land right away, models dont sort themselves out - that said horrible loss, enjoyed the flight before the incident

Looks like someone let out the internet experts...

shame it was a nice model looked like the engine was running too rich maybe

he must be deaf, engine way to rich!

ni modo ,se te aflojaron las lineas por falta de velocidad, muy bonito avion.........

Nice flight , beautiful model . Too bad she hit the deck like that . Were you able to rebuild her ?

Ouch, a very nice plane.

Dagnabit! bad luck fella,

Too heavy and under powered for that kind of climb. Sad, looked like a nice plane.

You tune the engine every time you start it... There is no reason for this to have happened besides laziness!

Noo

It's his own fault, obviously was too rich, they are easy to tune and it should be done at every flight anyway.

Ohhh :(

I was sure it was going to snap the line and hit that photographer in the head - up close and personal. It seems a slightly beezaare hobby when there are such sophisticated radio control systems...

I don't understand what really happened... 😳

too rich no power

Transmitter brownout?

Ooops

The video was boring til he crashed! LOL He openly admitted he was trying to do a loop when he crashed it. The crashed was caused by inexperienced pilot.

haha
