First thing I do with a new model is after trimming it out I check stall speed with flaps up and down. Then I practice approaches get the decent rate perfect. Lot of guys don't understand how to land a plane. Most people take off do aerobatics then crash land because they never learned how to land correctly. Fast planes land faster need more runway. What need to do is get the decent rate correct then bring it down into ground effect chop the throttle and let it bleed off land it.
Bin auch lange Zeit eine R3 geflogen. Das Problem waren immer die Landungen. .. bis ich den Hecksporn verlängert hatte. Dadurch kam das Heck höher und der Anstellwinkel verringerte sich beim Aufsetzen.. und das Modell hob nicht mehr ab...
I wish I could afford something like this too. He said he couldn't get the engine down to idle even after down trimming a bunch. Still had plenty of gas in it too afterwards.
Lordy, that's a flying brick - all thrust and no lift. Every low pass was an accident waiting to happen. All it needed was little downdraft and he would be ploughing up the runway.
What the heck happened? Looked like he was having difficulty slowing down for landings? I'm guessing he ran out of fuel while making so many attempts to land?
Here's what the pilot said : Could not get motor to slow down to idle kept down trimming motor. Then shut off. Still had 3/4 fuel left. Time to richen her up a little
Ahh, that's frustrating. I don't fly big gassers much; but maybe next time, on approach, kill the engine a few yards before the runway that way you should have enough room to land and the prop is not stuck at high idle.
@@jordan1387 Idle setting shouldn't be done in the air if at all possible, but on the ground. Unless a mechanical issue arises. Tuning a gas engine to idle for landing is hard and it takes time.
Rick Davey yeah i know i need to get one, sorry. He couldn't get the engine to slow down to idle so he was down trimming the throttle and ended up down trimming too much causing it to shut off
I don't think you're -Captain Obvious- lol -- I wasn't sure during the first few seconds of the video. And I've flown both RC planes and the "real" ones. Also, I've been around a Gee Bee. I knew fairly soon -- but still, the engine noise on this is pretty realistic.
I love to fly rc but in 40. Years I have learned that there are 3 kinds of rc planes the one that have crashed the ones that are going to crash and finally the ones you retire before you crashed I'm sure most rc pilots will agree
You meant the one standing by the strip holding the radio control unit? Apart from being mildly annoyed I doubt there's anything wrong with him. That's the thing about flying radio controlled planes. If they crash the pilot walks over to the plane to recover it..
@@jordan1387 then kill the engine and do a controlled dead stick What I saw was someone who didn't understand the mass of that plane and who was making his approach turn too soon for that speed and altitude. He never once let that plane settle. He was pushing the nose down because he was coming in too high and too fast. Dude made like six or more rather pathetic landing attempts. What caused that engine to die, if not fuel?
Beautiful airplane, livery and the sound is fantastic.

He wasn't able to get the engine down to idle even after down trimming
*descent. The word “decent” means “acceptable”.
Awesome little plane 👍
Sounds great, looks great - pity about the hiccup.
Thank goodness it looks like the pilot was strapped in good and took a good hard punch in the face, and no fatality!!! 🙏
such a beauty ..... it looks soo scale
Very cool plane!
Does anyone know where I can find a set of plans for this beautiful airplane? If not I'll have to take a guess at the numbers and scratch build it .
Is that a moki I hear. Love the sound of those
Looks like little damage just a prop good stick skills .
Just a GREAT little aircraft I recon.....................
Espectacular 😃👍👍.
Thanks!
I can’t stop watching
Great looking plane. Yeah, they are not famous for their gliding .:)) But seems not to much damage.
That was a horrible crash after 10 min of boredom
Nice looking plane, too bad about the wind noise on the video.
Cant believe with all that head wind you could not get it down...looks like it was pretty well set a few times
He said he was down trimming the throttle a bunch and couldn't get it down to idle
Oh my God! you’re my best friend! Now that we know each other, baby, can I fly your plane?
Baby huh?
The wind sounded great.
Thanks
He ran out of gas with so many go arounds
No he still had plenty leftover afterwards. He couldn't get the engine down to idle even after down trimming a bunch
@@jordan1387You can only trim down so far then yep the engine is going to quit. Needs landing practice not throttle trim.

I won't criticize because I can't afford bird like that I can only dream about a dead stick
crash landing with something so beautiful. 😌
I wish I could afford something like this too. He said he couldn't get the engine down to idle even after down trimming a bunch. Still had plenty of gas in it too afterwards.
Sounds like the winds blowing about 30 mph.

Here's what the pilot said :
Could not get motor to slow down to idle kept down trimming motor. Then shut off. Still had 3/4 fuel left. Time to richen her up a little
So I think he down trimmed a little too much because when he tried bringing it to idle again that's when it quit
Ahh, that's frustrating. I don't fly big gassers much; but maybe next time, on approach, kill the engine a few yards before the runway that way you should have enough room to land and the prop is not stuck at high idle.

Excellent video. No shaking, great tracking the whole time. What kind of camera did you use? Tripod?
Thanks! The camera has been discontinued but I'm using a Sony handycam HDR-CX130. no tripod
Great that even at fast zoom the focus have mantained. Beautiull job.
@@jordan1387 ml
Forget all the flying crap. After the crash, put camera in operators face.
Lol that would've been funny
Invest in a windscreen!!!! What happened to the engine?
Rick Davey yeah i know i need to get one, sorry. He couldn't get the engine to slow down to idle so he was down trimming the throttle and ended up down trimming too much causing it to shut off
The problem with a good flying airplane is that it can be difficult to get it to stop from flying. Nevertheless, that’s a nice problem to have IMHO
This is a RC remote control model airplane.
LOL, thank you Captain Obvious.
It is not obvious at first. I had to watch for a bit.
I don't think you're -Captain Obvious- lol -- I wasn't sure during the first few seconds of the video. And I've flown both RC planes and the "real" ones. Also, I've been around a Gee Bee.

This thing is wicked! Sexy waist & tail, looks like Thunderbolt engine cowling & spitfire wings. Bad A$$ 🍺🍻
Any landing you can walk away from lol 😆
Lesson learned: DON'T USE TEXACO GAS!
Remember, the GeeBee has tiny wings and no glide ratio at all. You lose power, you better be have
Correct, Cpt. Obvious!
@@brianbassett4379 🤣😂🤣
Was he trying to throttle-land?
it looks more like a crash!!
At 9 minutes in something falls of the plane easy to see
That was a bird
Landing at Kelly island
Great plane but the pilot might want to go back to flight school and brush up on his engine out landing skills ;-)
Doesn't look too bad of a crash
I think what you are calling landing attempts were actually just high speed low passes which were specific GeeBee stunts
He was trying to get the engine down to idle but couldn't even after down trimming
@@jordan1387 better to have an idle down switch, to a crawl, on the bench, hit when you're in the final.
That´s not a "landing"...
I have to be honest, that plane is very wonky looking -,w,-
It’s a later model the original Gee Bees were shorter and stubby wings were a handful .
Everytime too high for a landing - Procedere ... But nice plane and flight 😉👍
He couldn't get the engine down to idle even after down trimming a bunch. Hence all the go arounds. But he still had gas leftover afterwards
@@jordan1387
ah ok, i understand... thats really a shit situation.... 🤨
Thought it was a real plane at first
It is a real plane not a RC
If it wasn't for that single gust of wind.
RIP
This is a fantasy so called GeeBee
Good job probably not much damage

@@timmoulthrop8510 damage wasn't too bad from what I remember. And yes that's definitely true
Skilled pilot + awesome plane = cool video - I hope the pilot is ok.

Not a crash landing, just a dead stick landing
Anyone can choose his own suicide mechanism.
Guess you ran out of fuel
If you ask me he ran out of fuel. Anyway 5x go arounds or 5x attempts to land is too many
He couldn't get the engine to idle. Still had plenty of gas when he checked it after
@@jordan1387 Aha 🤘🔝
Kód
Poor piloting skills. He should go back to cubs.
no fuel....no engine...1litre ist empty after 8 minutes full throttle
Still had plenty of fuel leftover. He couldn't get the engine to go down to idle even after down trimming a bunch
One way or another it WILL land!!!
Oh come on - that's no crash - it's a summersault. I want wreckage, flammage, explosionage, the works!
Haha! Ran it out of fuel because he sucks at landing!!
Nope, he couldn't get the engine down to idle even after down trimming the throttle. Still had gas leftover afterwards
