The fact that you have the money to buy it...dont mean that you KNOW HOW TO FLY IT! As an avid rc modeler pilot / instructor im sure this guy knows NOTHING about rc HELICOPTERS. SAD, but TRUE!
Sad that those guys died for nothing. Imagine how their folks feel. They birthed and raised them to such a fine age just to leave this world like this. Tragedy.
"Although it(The helicopter) crashed I loved your work. The item was very detailed and well put together. This was an A+ (plus) job. You are very good builders. You are number one in my book. "👍
When I saw the first shaky attempt to lift this great machine up I thought "ooops". It's sad that this nice turbine model was destroyed in such a brutal way. Sorry for the Pilot! Maybe it would be a good plan to train first on the simulator and then on a small but strudy model like the OMPHOBBY M2 EVO. I hope the Pilot does not loose his interest in helis.
@lookylook570 Try balancing a ten pin bowling ball on a small marble! Last Stat I saw was out of 200,000 plus AMA members, only 10% are able to successfully fly a model helicopter.
@@joewilson9744 not at all, I've been flying RC helicopters for almost 30 years now an although it does require a bit of dedication anyone can fly it, but it is not like a drone, of course.
Sorry for your experience! They can be very difficult to fly. As someone else stated, get plenty of time on a simulator first. A lot of it is muscle memory. Practice, practice, practice. A crash on a simulator is much cheaper than a real one. Don't give up! Some of the most difficult skills offer the greatest rewards. At least you had the fortitude to show what can happen. For that, I salute you!
It's called dynamic rollover, look it up on RU-vid. Once you have reached the critical angle, it's not recoverable. Only way was collective full down as soon as it dug in on one side....
The build is eventually questionnable, e.g., servos cables should be flex, not tight and straight line to the Bavarian Axon (see at 5'54). As recommended by the manufacturer, see page 4 of Axon user manual, section "Use the supplied mounting tape". Note Axon is top class device anyway. I'm not saying its the main cause of the crash but may have eventually contributed (this is a 1:6 scale kit to be fully assembled by heli expert, here using an expensive Jakadowski turbine).
This is why you always test fly the mechanics before installing them into a scale fuse. Couldn’t tell if he had one of the gyros reversed or if he was literally a newbie. Very sad to see so much work and money just get wasted in an instant.
I am not sure the pilot was bad. I think he should have stopped trying to get it off the ground and get it back on the bench when he started having problems. Looks like either an issue with vibrations (it seemed to me like the tail was vibrating a lot) or with Center of Gravity. Either way sad ending for so many hours putting together such a detailed model.
You can clearly see the heli is not even trimmed out the right way. He is trying to take off and the heli is all over the place. He has no clue what he is doing.
As a new poser to the hobby, my sentiments. Though as I suspected for myself, i enjoy building and repairing my planes, even more than I do flying them, that is at this point in my hobby experience.
He was determined to crash it. Obvious wasn't set up right. With the amount of work and $$$$ involved he shouldn't have been so anxious. The first attempt to lift off was obvious it needed better setup
Too bad but looks fixable. Looked like the CG was off. The takeoff with the boom strike should have been the hint to stop and check everything a few times before flying again.
People with money and not brains, you let the best pilot tested first. Plus you flight the heli before you do all that detail and work, make sure the heli is reliable.
That was painful to watch and as someone who has crashed rc Helis to its painful when it happens,there's pilots who have crashed and those who are about to crash.
And THAT is what you call doin the Funky Chicken ..jokes aside it is a sad thing to see happen ,, but it is NOT the first or last time THAT will ever happen in this hobby ,,
Maybe you should actually learn how to fly a helicopter before building a turbine powered helicopter and trying to fly for the first time because this is what will happen every single time.
This is what happen when you have money and no experience, mate next time try first with a simulator and a t rex 450, that kind of scale models are only for pro pilots, good luck next time.
Duh… that was to much chopper for inexperienced RC pilot. Boom trainer with hula-hoop on the skids would be a better choice instead of Scale Huey ! Waste of money…when you put carriage on the front of horse 😂
