I flew RC for just over twenty years and I thought it was the greatest hobby ever. I had a dedicated workshop, an enclosed trailer to haul my stuff around in and I had acquired a few giant scale warbirds kits to keep myself busy for the next few years. As was my way each kit already had the necessary engines, landing gear, accessories and radio gear before the first two sticks were glued together....I was in heaven! Well, I was until the trap door opened in 2008, the economy tanked and I didn't know if I would have a job from one Friday to the next. I had two planes go in within a couple of weeks of one another and I started accounting for my financial loss. When I got to $3,000 and the tally wasn't even done on the first plane I knew my hobby had ended. Like so many others in the hobby, we sold our stuff for pennies on the dollar and the hobby never did recover. What a shame.
This is sad to hear. You don’t have to go that deep into it eh. Just fly some cheaper planes or helicopter. Maybe not giant scale. Keep it simple. this hobby should be fun not take over your life and finances. Hope you get to fly again.
Great model and flying skills. If you are here just to see the engine munch itself, go to ~ 5:42ish. Glad there wasn't any major structural damage and it was landed safely. Such as it was. GOOD JOB! Overnout
Yes, there was no fiery explosion. Everything is relative as to what happened. The timing of the turbine failure. The speed of the aircraft. The altitude. The flight attitude of the hell. In the end, all of these amazing circumstances coupled with the ability of an amazing pilot, brought a really expensive aircraft to the ground safely and in one piece. No one was hurt, no colaterall damage. It will fly again. To an RC Aviator, that means everything. AirHammer out!!
das ist ja der absolute Wahnsinn, ich wusste gar nicht das es so große Modelle gibt, und das man die fliegen darf. .....der Sound der Turbine, beeindruckend real.
It doesn't look like the turbine failed, but rather something mechanical in the drive/transmission. After the POP you hear the turbine accelerate RPM (no load), and the rotor system loses torque. After the landing it sounds like a normal turbine shutdown.
+phishstyx This is also what I thought.Maybe the pto in the turbine itself. you can hear the unloaded turbine spin up but it also changes audibly as if something had opened up on the exhaust side? hmm? awesome helicopter
+phishstyx it may be a turbo-shaft failure - the part that stays right after the main jet engine, but with no direct mechanical link to the jet engine's shaft.
This owner and pilot is the luckiest pilot and RC helo owner. I doubt the helo could survive from a higher altitude. The pilot has skills! Nice evaluation phishstyx. I personally like watching pre-flight assembly, take-offs, and landings.
Beautiful helicopter, great job flying it. Sorry something failed but I flew so well, impressive. Also, great job landing it after the failure. I am glad it didn't get damaged very seriously. Keep sharing videos.
You are one lucky SOB That helicopter just about dropped out of the sky with out the power. A very nice landing even without the landing gear, Thank-God for the grass! You have a very nice machine there!Kurt
Hats off to you scale,high $ flyers that keep em up. About 3 yrs ago I lost a scale Hughes 500 to a 25 cent servo control arm. Nice weathered paint,lights,full cockpit and treated/built and maintained like the full scale counterparts. Wish I could say I enjoyed flying it but tbo I was so concerned about something I had no control over "which is exactly what happened" occuring and destroying the craft, its all I thought about while flying. I still enjoy flying and watching others even more but scale,high end helis and planes were just to serious for me and I now enjoy a more relaxed attitude with less demanding/time consuming and less expensive aircraft. Glad you came out rather unscathed.
+JIMJAMSC Exactly why I dont do any sort of Air RC.. At least when I break something on a Road RC I can just swap the broken part.. A flying RC? Is mostly totalled.
I have tried it all. Cars,motorcycles,tanks,fast track cars and monster trucks. Submarines were by far the most demanding. Combining electronics with water. Making it sink and then come back up again. I had a 7 ft scale sub with ballast tanks and also a emergency tank to empty them and hopefully bring the craft back to the surface if signal is lost. Now being much older with less patience and eyesight I am into fpv small quad copters. Buzz around the yard,house.. You would have been laughed at if you imagined these when I started.
JIMJAMSC I´m also in FPV with off-roads and crawlers :D but why subs? how do you see them work? you need to dive with them or have a giant fish tank to play on?
When the nearby lake is clear I can get good reception down to 6-8 ft. Thats looking down from a dock. Most times you run partially submerged,add water which causes it to go under and bring it back up. Sold it but have a unboxed Thundertiger sub which I plan to run in my pool. BTW- I put a nice cam designed for quad copters on a 10 crawler and used goggles and almost puked. Way to jumpy. On a monitor maybe but fpv with goggles off road makes me puke.
Sehr schickes Modell und sehr gut geflogen, würd ich auch gerne lernen. Wie gut das er bei der Explosion gerade nicht so hoch und im sikflug war, dadurch wurde ein zerstörung sehr gut abgewendet. Gute Notlandung.
I definitely take my hat off for the pilot and I was clapping too after I recovered from the shock of the sudden explosion and 3sec landing. I hope to build a nerve of steel like the pilot someday. I hope the damage wasn't too bad.
Nice video I enjoying watching you fly your rc chopper I'm sorry you had mechanical problems very nice job landing it safely your a very good rc pilot let's go get a big boy and go fly I'm a pilot
Well saved was lucky the engine failed so close to a ground approach 😬👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 a bit shakey on the sticks but all in all a great flight demo 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯
EXCELLENT piloting after that turbine explosion. These are NOT TOYS by any means folks. And they take skilled pilots to fly them. I hope it was repairable considering the cost of this hobby. And i'm quite sure it will be.
+Real Life Eddy do you know how heavy that is (I don't personally) to say that he could of auto rotated that long? Maybe its a fat bird and what he did was pretty impressive to save it.
+Real Life Eddy Turbine goes boom, as the pilot you dont know why. Set it down on its belly? Or risk a several thousand dollar machine for style points? your call.
So lucky! Skilled pilot too of course getting it down so quickly and smoothly. I was really hoping it would fail before liftoff but, the video length made it clear that wasn't going to be the case so I was waiting for the (I thought) inevitable failure right at the wrong time and complete destruction of ALL that beautifully made heli but instead was pleased to see it fail so close to the ground at lowish speed and his quick precise actions landing it without any other major damage. Yeah, I know the turbine if unfixable are expensive but, so much work goes into everything else and expense that it would have been so much worse if it had just come crashing down and pretty much disintegrating as usually happens with fixed wing aircraft, plus a lot more speed usually involved with them too. Nice save.
Great to see the pilot and crew can walk away from that, more exactly walk over and retrieve. Great flare out and recovery, only time on the sticks can make that happen! The model looks so realistic head on with the heat from the exhaust! Well done for the awesome video's
Super Landung noch hingezimmert! Respekt an den Piloten! Alleine der Schaden an der Turbine ist schon ärgerlich und teuer, aber der Verlust dieses Models wäre ne Katastrophe gewesen.
Gibt immer Mekkerfritzen. Kleingeister. Fast 6 min Video, das kann jeder vor dem Start sehen. Wollt ihr, dass es am Anfang kracht und das dann 5:30min wiederholt, in Zeitlupe, aus allen Perspektiven? Seht Euch Crash-Action-Videos an. Ein super 5000€ Heli, sauber und gekonnt geflogen. Dann ein tragischer Ausfall der Turbine, dem meisterlich begegnet wurde. Top Rettung, meine Hochachtung!
Not "luck" at all - pure skill. Turbine failures are very rare, and the pilot did a terrific job of getting it down without damage. Having flown R/C helis and full-sized Bell LongRanger/JetRanger helicopters, I can tell you that the real thing is much EASIER to fly than these models, even with gyros and heli-specific radios.

I don’t know about “wow”, if you want the “explosion” fast forward to 5:40 for the helicopter to give a soft queef and then a gentle thud of a landing.
Brilliant pilot skill! No further damage to the aircraft, safe emergency landing. In the real world at full scale, that would have definitely been a survivable landing. Makes me wonder if the pilot actually flies real helicopters for a living...

Nice landing. Thumbs up for the pilot👍🏼
Nah thumbs up for the camera man
Thumbs up for the camera guy cuz he is good at his job
Chey Thompson
He was lucky that the engine failed at low attitude or else it would have been a total loss.
@@nimueh4298 no the pilot immediately went into auto rotation. He cut power and went full pitch on the collective. Very well done.

Nice piloting. But I was expecting to see an explosion like the title stated...
Yea its fking clickbait to get 2.8million views. We all fell for it. Fk. Thays why theres so many dumbs down.
That was a explosion lol
Since this is a scale helicopter, perhaps the explosion was scaled down as well...
The engine blew at the end. It was a cool video although unfortunate for the guy who lost the engine.
thats what turbines do when they fail, plosion then immediate shutdown or fail if engine- sorry u eint see yor mushroom cloud
Beautiful scale helicopter flown in a scale manner, even has an inflight emergency turbine failure with a good save!
Beautiful helicopter, great job flying it. Sorry something failed but I flew so well, impressive. Also, great job landing it after the failure. I am glad it didn't get damaged very seriously. Keep sharing videos.
Wow, das war knapp!! Daumen hoch für den Piloten! Natürlich auch für die guten Aufnahmen ;)
That's a thing of beauty. Congrats on the save and kudos to your photographer. Hate those videos where the camera keeps losing the subject.

Glad you were close to the ground, that's a lot of money there
Und trotzdem noch gut zu Boden gebracht. Respekt!!!
Wow, glad u weren't way up there when it went bad... that's an awesome RC aircraft to have landing in pieces. Great landing:)
Good recovery! Hope she's flying again :)
I'm really that big on Helicopters but this was excellent. fly and a wonderful looking model well done.
Nice autorotation. Hats off to the pilot!
Get to the chopper 🤷♂️🤣 nice save 💪🏻💪🏻
Beautiful Helo - Lucky the turbine failed so close to ground -Thx
Fully expected this to drop like a stone. Well done!
isso ai
Good save, lucky already close to ground & flying straight, looks fab in the air:-)
Nice video I enjoying watching you fly your rc chopper I'm sorry you had mechanical problems very nice job landing it safely your a very good rc pilot let's go get a big boy and go fly I'm a pilot
Mind explosion seeing such a beautiful helicoper. Thnx for sharing and happy flying
OH stuck the landing🧐..🤔..that thing is very very cool 🤓👍
well, not quite an auto rotation but put it down well being so close to the ground. Well done. Beautiful heli too.
Well saved was lucky the engine failed so close to a ground approach 😬👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 a bit shakey on the sticks but all in all a great flight demo 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯

Saved the Heli 🚁
Gooood.Helicopter is okay🤘😄🥁🎬
Awesome《☆》Great flying Bro :*: that hockey stop 180 Rockford turn maneuver was cool. Looks like it will fly again ☻

Great model excellent auto rotation as others have said thumbs up
Wow that was a skilled emergency auto-rotation landing! Impressing!
Anyone know where do I can buy gigantic heli like this guy? Thx
you don't, you build it.
I saw a red & white one on Ebay, slight turbine damage, otherwise great condition : / ...
Just buy trex 700

Any body where it is available for sale
Die Turbine surt. Der Motor macht brum brum. Gefällt mir.
Wow awesome skill is to get it down so smooth. Luckily the maneuver you were doing at the time put you in perfect emergency landing position!
Good pilot, to land like that with no fan, well done
Thank goodness you were able to auto-rotate it successfully!
Oh wow , nice save that man , right on the button . I can't even land like that on a good day ! . Very well done .
nice little auto-rotation there at the end!
