MAYDAY MAYDAY COMPILATION 2012-2020 

Great comp! The pilots did a great job at bringing them back to fly another day. (except for that last one!!)

3:37 That's what you call ground effect. Great flying.

Most of these landings with no gear are better than mine when they're fully working..🤦‍♂️😁

I cant BELIVE my clip made it here ...AWSOME .

13:51 i love how a jet plane shakes it's tailfin before landing.

Love the P-61. That's the great thing about RC - no matter how obscure a given aircraft may be, someone has built a giant model of it.

8:23 That Corsair might be the best sounding rc plane I've ever heard.

Happily no catastrophic failures or total losses! Tho that Tailfin flutter at the end had me worried, and RIP the Tiger Moth pilot lol.

I love how these are all completely original and have featured no where else!

Glad to see the Corn Barrier Restraint System doing its job perfectly!

Basically people who make large models do not know how to get out of unexpected situations and break models but here everything is done correctly Respect✊

That was awesome Horst! Some truly heroic saves there! Those two with the flutter were very lucky! Good to see there were no full write offs - even the Tiger Moth and the end didn't look too bad! And damn that landing gear that locks half up and half down! Great compilation :)

These videos that you make are amazing, thank you!

Great save with the Panther. I did breath a sigh of relief when the "Superbolt" landed safely. The wings scrapes on the runways, OUCH! Then poor Strega! A lot of "You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel!" At least not too many hearts were broken. Great stuff Horst!

The guys at the end had a good sense of humor even after such an expensive fetal crash , Sorry for the pilot , RIP

The European Pilots have dead stick and emergency landings down to a fine art. Brilliant to watch.

Fantastic models, flying skills, and wonderful videos! Thanks for sharing what can only be considered dedication to a difficult and expensive hobby!!

i really admire your work

the last clip is just hilarious 😂😂😂

Sehr kurzweilige und tolle Zusammenfassung lieber Horst. Fantastische Piloten, das darf man schon sagen. 💙

LMAO, doing pre-cardial thumps and CPR on the down pilot. That was funny A H!

Fantastic flying and landing . I get the feeling that RC pilots , especially the WWII plane pilots, would love the ‘wounded plane’ landings resoluteness of a successful mission !? My fave is the 3:32 landing

Was für tolle Modelle 👍👍👍Aber ein großer Schwachpunkt dürften wohl die Fahrgestelle sein.

Two recurring themes. 1, corsairs figure prominently and 2 farmers fields next to run ways. Do the farmers get danger money? That tiger moth CPR was a ripper. 🇦🇺👍🍺

Best collection ever! Thank you...BC Canada

Just goes to show you. There are some great pilots out there. Some great saves .. Thanks for sharing

2023 and we have yet mastered the art of landing gears 😂.

Les pilotes sont tous expérimentés pour faire face à ce genre de difficultés.. ils restaient calme et sans précipitation . Bon les abords de la piste étaient aussi très bons gazon de partout Mais du grand pilotage yoit de même Bravo messieurs

Bravo! Thank you!

trying to revive the pilot was worth waiting for

Excellent compilation, no clickbait!

Good thing real landing gear is more reliable! Some nice smooth landing in here 👍👍

very interesting and instructive selection! videographer well done! very high quality and beautifully filmed!

watching all the crashes/mishaps has made me want to get into the hobby, covid and all, i know its a big project but im getting myself that doug smith 1/12 scale B29 lol, i have an RC boat, and have had a rc plane when i was younger but i was about 6

Some great saves there!

That Grumman F9F Panther is one of the few RC models i always regret selling especially when i see it flying so well here on YT,mind you mine was the old smaller RCLander model with their EDF fan unit and ESC which i upgraded with the 12/10 bladed fans,which made it sound so much better and as close to a real turbine as you can get when using electric in my humble opinion. Thanks again fro sharing these great video Horst (sorry if spelling wrong) as it's very much appreciated sir,with much love and respect from the UK. ✊🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Great pilots! [Brazil]

3rd Annual Dead-Stick Wheels-Up Landing Competition.

Wanting a new transmitter but I'm stuck between the ix12 and nx10 spektrums which would you get? Also seen alot of reviews on radiomaster tx16s

Lovely flying machines, and lovely quality clips well shot and edited. 👋👋👋👋👋

That was fun!

Some really good saves! 👏🏻

Very nice recoveries tho good flying👍

very nice shots

Excellent selection of, for the most part, brilliant saves. So good to see a plane still be basically all intact and able to fly another day. Very sad end with the last biplane -- must have lost his elevator servo authority - big ouch. Super compilation Horst and thanks for all the time needed editing it together :)

Really nice filmed!!!!!

Wow like my friend, is great

AwesoMe!! Love de channel Mate!!😁😊😎😉👊👍😚👌🤙💯!!

Wow. Just wow. 👏👏👏👏🌷🌼 15:01=😂🤣😂🤣

Some damn good pilots in this video!

Awesome

Why is it, that with all of the advances that have been made in RC aircraft, we STILL cannot devise a robust retractable landing gear that will hold up reliably? It just seems outrageous to me that we continue to see planes landing on failed gear. I think most would agree that the consumer would be willing to pay substantially more for landing gear they could rely on. As always, thanks much for sharing. Steve

Greetings from the international space station!

fantastic landing 0:39

So the first company to make landing gear that works, wins.

I hate to say it but I enjoy watching them belly landings.

A very handy technique to wipe off that excess speed on an emergency approach is side slipping.

Great great great great great job 👌 LANDING THERE 👍 NICE WORK ON THE VIDEO TOO. GREAT FOCUS THERE. THAT HAD TO BE TRUTHFULLY TOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH!?

The first one was an excellent dead stick landing.

Feels like I just watched an ad for electric servoless retracts.

Years ago, I was judging an RC scale contest at our field. One of the contestants, flying Dauntlas, made a hard belly landing on Saturday, he was from out of town, so one of the local fliers, invited him to fix it and fly Sunday. Sunday morning he made a test hop, everything looked fine. He flew the second flight on our line and mid flight, it suffered a catastrophic wing failure, he called it as one of his scale maneuvers, yelling Mayday...Mayday. We gave him tens for it, it was only the second thing on his flight. The next year someone else flew a Dauntles and made his way up in altitude, nosed over, flaps deployed, he dropped the bomb, then got watching the bomb, the bomb hit mid runway, a few feet further down, the plane hit, total loss, I was watching this time. Things do happen in RC, and not always what we want.

1:50 boom-sa-daisy. It's enough to make you weep

Rwal Power pilots should take note of those powerless landings. Most bugger it up when their engine quits !

I love watching these I was just wondering how the ones that don't crash stop

What a lot of FOD ! Great compilation

The purpose of the prop turning is to cut holes into the air for the plane to fall into....once it stops the holes dissapear, hence the plane comes down, or so it was written in our club magazine in the jokes section the one time in 1992. Good memories. ❤

Some Of these guys make you wonder how good they would be in a real plane

..."F**KING LANDING GEAR!!!"" It's amazing how often they fail.

This should be called....deadsticking it like a boss.

The pilot from the last video is alive!

8:35. You don't see that happening very often.

Great video! thanks for sharing 👍new subscriber 🤙

Nice.

13:03 was a rollercoaster

I know how i feel when i lose one of my RC planes and they cost a fraction of these ones in this video,so i can only imagine how they must feel,mine normal layout for an RC plane is anything from £250 up to £400 but normally the lower end of that pricing and only something that i really want is at the higher end,never because we need it but rather we want 🤣. Just about every maiden i would and still do get them sweaty hands right up until my landing,i soon realised no matter if you land with or with out power,you have to near enough let the plane land it's self and not force her down,even if it means getting a taxi to go pick the plane up because you landed so far away,well that's what we would say to each other that had to walk that far away,still any landing that you walk away from and can fly again is a good landing,though the greases stay in ones memory longer than the crashes. 😉 Much love and respect coming from the UK. 👍🏾✊🏾💪🏾👊🏾🙏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Landing gear failure seems to be the common theme here. Thousands of dollars and countless man hours lost due to insufficiently engineered landing gear.

Just spent a great couple of hours wandering around the streets discovering neat places to fly (albeit with quads because it's *windy* as hell today). There are some wonderful spots which might not be 100% legal... but they are 100% safe :-D I may post some video later -- although there's not much to see except an old man crashing into trees (LOL). Looking forward to summer and a backpack filled with lipos and planes/quads.

Hey. You don't have a contact email on your channel?

P51 came in HOT!

I wish there was rc planes events in my country.

Always annoys me that people comment about how we haven't come up with reliable tech for landing gear. Seems these are the same people that don't own an rc with retracts. Listen people these are the exception. Poor maintinence is a huge issue with these guys. The term "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" does not get used in aviation nor should it in the scaled down models. Air systems are also extremely unreliable. Shit happens and electrics can have malfunctions as well. Mostly due to poor quality however and far more rare than Air systems. If you don't know then maybe ask rather than comment and show your ignorance. You're also watching a video dedicated to saves saves and near saves. What would you expect?

나이따

Dead stick landings are a.normal part of rc model flying part of the BMFA certification is learning how to do them..and calling out Dead Stick......Landing....

Rename it "Great Saves!"

they added sound to this the motor is dead and theres a motor running sound ??

😂 the reanimation

Why are they landing without wheels?

I love these videos. But a question for those in the know… why do so many landing wheels fail to deploy? And why when they do deploy they fail so much? Can’t they make the landing gear beefier, stronger?

Last one was the best . Keep up the good work.

Very painful to watch, those birds scrapping the runway!

The thousands of hours and the money spent on these cool planes ,nice to see they came in for a landing not come in to smash in to tooth picks

Tip: Prevent damage to your engine and possibly your prop from a prop strike by shutting down your engine on short final. That’s what is done with real planes and aware pilots. I know pilots that have had the awareness to even bump the starter to position a 2 blade prop horizontally to avoid contact with the ground. Saves BIG BUCKS on real planes. I enjoyed the video. Thanks.

It still amazes me the thousands of dollars spent on the jets and still have gear failures, i have had my cheap foamies for about 10 years with zero gear failures. Yes sometimes they get caught in a gopher hole but that isn’t the fault of the gear or operating system.

Am I missing something? Why did they have airplanes with no landing gear? Does that reduce weight or something?

13:06 . Needs explanation!!!! How did it just start up by itself????? 😯😯😯😯

Damn i miss triple tree/joe nall event

I got so confused as to why the first plane was so twitchy etc... then I realised theyre RC planes

Like 113 my friend

it is funny. you can build remote controlled planes and jets.. with GPS, autopilot, HD FPV, 4k video recording and so on. but a reliable retractable landing gear? no way. :)

Shes breaking up! shes breaking up ! No worries , we can rebuild her. Better, stronger, faster !!
