Snow skiing and snowboarding is a sport, flying model rockets in the winter is still a hobby.
I flew RC for many years, and I can't imagine how he feels. But I also can't imagine putting anywhere close to that amount of money that is highly likely to crash one day!
That's why most of us RC pilots fly MUCH less expensive planes (and definitely not jets).. Actually, I buy most of my planes used. You can save a FORTUNE as long as you know how to fix up planes and engines.
I would have preferred hearing the jet more than the event music. Great flying, fantastic machine, sorry to see it get destroyed but even the explosion looked to scale!

My cousin,kinda rich spoiled kid wanted a helicopter. Well his daddy gave in and bought him a 7k model till he learned to fly,long story short he crashed at his first lesson and found out that the more expensive ones are easier to fly so they ran out and bought him another!
Sad to see such an incredible RC jet lose fuel or some other failure. Wish to see them back in action soon. I am very impressed with the skill set of operator
Must've been an electrical fault, looks like he completely lost control of the plane, it just kept rolling into the ground. Shame, such a beautiful aircraft, probably expensive, too. Can't imagine how the pilot must've felt when there's suddenly smoke and the controls stop responding.
@@laihela were I to hazard a guess - judging be the clear loss of control immediately after the first hint of smoke I would say the engine popped (hence the smoke) severing the antenna. I had a similar thing happen with a 1/6 B-25, the bomb bay door servo arm snagged the antenna severing it.
Especially when it also takes out your control.. no chance to at least try and glide it in for a somewhat controlled crash landing where it can be recovered and repaired. The pilot was really good... if anybody could have brought it down in one piece, it woulda been him. Sad loss, but at least it drove itself into the ground where there was nobody around to get hurt. Such a sad loss.
Well no. I mean the person is on the money while it is performing insane aerobatics... But then loses it completely when it's on the ground burning and going nowhere
Very unfortunate loss of a well-flown and beautiful plane. Obviously a huge mechanical failure that messed up any ability to control the plane after the problem occurred.
Yes a lot of people don't realize when someone is flying an RC aircraft and loses control that means it could easily hit and kill someone and the guy holding the remote control can do nothing about it. That's why you really should not fly these things in populated areas. I was flying one at a college football stadium parking lot and lost control. I got lucky and it came straight down in the parking lot but it was surrounded by four busy streets on all sides. I got lucky on that one.
Dang that sucks! My guess is turbine blew and severed control linkages or electrical lines to servos.. An engine out you could glide back in, but that was pure yard dart straight in. = no control. Luckily not into spectators, parking area or houses. Thats a big plane. Well flown though.
That hurt to watch. It looks like the flame out did something to the controls because he 'should' have been able to glide it to a landing, but the flame out must have damaged internal control elements causing a total loss of control. Beautiful flying though. Great skill.
Yes you're right. After flame out I think servos got frozen. We can see the plane go down with a left roll movement. Pretty sure the pilot tried to turn right an pull, with no reaction.
Quite a large but momentary negative G event just before the flame out. Did it dislodge the engine? Or did something rupture, set alight and damage the receiver?
Good show! I've never seen one of these wrung out to such extreme G. Clearly a skilled pilot, but the excessive loading may have contributed to the failure. That was one heck of a tough plane to be able to handle those forces. It's fortunate that nobody was in the path when it lawn darted.
Force exerted scales with mass. Think of an ant falling off a tree vs a human doing the same thing. That plane doesn't weigh much so the g-forces it can withstand are far greater than a real plane.
It looked like the radio went into failsafe which resulted in the turbine being automatically shut down. This happened at 2:40, I think the pilot was a passenger from then on, the jet could have crashed anywhere, thank goodness it was a field and not the road or the spectator area.
Much better theory in my opinion. The way the turbine performed up until point makes it seem unlikely there was a thrust pipe failure as suggested above.
I'm not a turbine guy but do flame outs result in black smoke? If you go back and watch, the initial flame is white which from my limited experience seems more like what you'd get once a turbine shuts down. Then well before impact the smoke turns pretty rapidly black. This seems to indicate rapid spread of damage onboard as things begin burning... or maybe flameouts do yield black smoke and I'm flat wrong 🤷♂️
@@wspepsilon no black smoke in a flame out, only white smoke or not smoke at all , black smoke is caused by fire inside plane : engine failure with burning fioul out of engine or pipe failure with exhaust gaz burning the inside of the plane, you could have a failure on tank or on fuel tubing that alow to have fuel sucked by engine stopping it and causing a fire inside plane ; on vidéo you see he have roll control till the end but quickly lost the elevator ; i've experienced a few "hot starts" on ground: fire can cause damages on electric wiring and on plane in few seconds....
After the Engine incident the pilot obviously had no Elevator control, however, he did appear to have Aileron control, certainly as it entered the dive. Most likely cause is the Engine malfunction took out the Elevator Servo and/or Control Snake.
Damn, that was a shame. Something must have blown up and cut the radio, he had no control over it after that smoke trail started. He was high enough he could have dead sticked it into a landing.
I came for the crash, but then after seeing how nice of a jet it was and watched how skillfully it was being flown, I actually hated to see the crash! (Which was also very realistic by the way.) Thanks for posting!
I've never watched anything like this before but it found its way into my recommendations. I was mesmerised by the beauty and skill of the controller (pilot?!) and also the quality of the filming. Gutted about the outcome!
You pay the money… you take the chances. I like RC aviation, I’m also career long aircraft mechanic & pilot. If these guys would put a camera in the airplane for visual reference it would minimize the accidents. RC aircraft are not stressed for the G load the real bird is… one control surface fails you’re toast!!!
I wish I had a tenth of the skill of that pilot. Absolutely spectacular flight. Wonder what happened? It just shut down. Strange. Everything was there, a split second later, everything was gone. No control whatsoever.
@@Blueknight1960 No numbnuts. But anything that fly’s at that speed, with flammable liquid onboard, over populated areas, clearly needs an explanation for any major crash. Not to mention the owners and manufacturers need to understand what happened. Clear enough for your pea brain?
It's possible in principle but would be bulky and add significant weight. Because RC models fly low it would be unlikely to help in most situations. In any case this was a total loss of control, so he wouldn't have been able to deploy a parachute, even if one were fitted.
I wonder what kind of G-Force, that plane was experiencing? Fantastic flying, one of the best Pilots I've ever witnessed, Total Control in maneuvers, his skill level was unbelievable. So sorry for the loss. But all of us pilots, have experienced similar, mishaps. Today is June 13th 2022.
And isn't the turbine manufacturer supposed to offer a warranty for that? I mean a washing machine doesn`t explode if it brokes but a small failure is fatal to a turbine in the air. Some investigations required maybe?
Yes, I noticed the extreme Gs being pulled and thought they were bad news. Obviously one aspect of good piloting is keeping your aircraft in decent enough shape to get home.
Sorry about the plane, but the great thing about this being an RC show (as opposed to a piloted air show) is that you can have an epic crash like that... and no one was hurt.
This pilot/owner was putting on an epic show with his skills , until his plane developed an engine problem....then we all know the heartbreak of such a loss...maybe not this expensive , but still a loss. Hope the wife understands..
This is why I don’t fly radio control airplanes anymore. This happened to me too much too many crashes. I quit. Started playing guitar instead. Sorry for your loss. I know it’s a very painful thing to lose such a beautiful airplane. I know a lot of hard work goes into putting those together, I put a lot of plans together in my life. I quit this hobby in 1974 and exchanged it for guitar.🎸🎼🎵🎶🎸
A huge shame. brought a tear to my eye to see that thing go down. Very skillful flying of a well kept RC Aircraft, hopefully he can recoup the funds to get another one or another similar one so that others can again watch him fly at events again in the future.
Would love to know if the pilot ever discovered exactly what happened here. Besides the flame-out he seems to have completely lost control of the plane. Normally a flameout at that altitude would be an easy dead-stick landing for a decent pilot (and this guy was a good pilot), asssuming you still have radiio control and working servos.
@wtgphoto Right. Why would the control surfaces get power from the engine? That's supposed to be battery driven. That argues that the flame out severed some wiring, or more likely was caused by an internal fuel leak that burned the control center as low fuel pressure caused the flame out.
The real explosion occurred when he got home and told his wife what happened to the $35,000 RC jet that he spent all his retirement money on.
No point in divorcing him now, he's broke! Lol

Skillful piloting, but a sad end to a stunning performance, can't guess what g-force this machine had undergone.
A lot.
(200 mph)**2 / [2 x length] /(22 mph/second) = g forces, if it crashed at quoted speed.
@@DrDeuteron I think he meant the g‘s during the turns of the show piece. Not the sudden stop…..
he had a lot of unsafe maneouvres where his tangential vector were not parallel to the audience. several times this could have gone worse. he had no control when it went down. just an amateur hour
1:29 👏😖
Good job, realistic ground explosion 😅

Great flying. That thing was pulling serious Gs.

I’ll tip my hat to whoever was operating the camera as well.
Sorry for the lost of the beautiful jet, and congratulations to the pilot that have good skills to fly the plane.
Excellent flying! Beautiful to watch. Condolences to the pilot, hope his garage has a few extras.

Crash at 3:00 but in all fairness the operator showed some serious skills before hand.
Its truly a shame the plane was lost but it went out in blaze of glory. A truly brilliant flying display of an amazing jet. Sorry for the loss of your gear but that is a hazard of the sport.
It reminded me of the last scene in the movie, "The Blue Max."
"Let's see some real flying."
Next time design a parachute for these type of eventualities.
This is a sport? 🤣
Hopefully he remembered to call his Ins Agent & get coverage on it before he took his shiny toy out to impress his friends
@@jerrykobylt7387 Yeah, weird huh.... Golfing is called a sport too which is bullshit because then we'd have to call those obese dorks wearing dorky clothes "athletes". Because of this, I refuse to call golfing a "sport". Golf is a game an fly RC planes is a "hobby" an expensive hobby but still a hobby. Snow skiing and snowboarding is a sport, flying model rockets in the winter is still a hobby.
Impressive flying! Sorry for the crash. That was tough to watch.
So amazing to watch fly. I am so sorry for your loss. That was just unfortunate. It was so beautiful to watch fly.
I flew RC for many years, and I can't imagine how he feels. But I also can't imagine putting anywhere close to that amount of money that is highly likely to crash one day!
$500 a second ; totally worth it! And he really stuck that landing!
Magnificent example of why I choose to love this hobby from a distance.
Exactly and this is why i like my slow moving RC tanks .
Quite agree... too much to go wrong there, with people around.
The cheap prefab ones are the way to go.
That's why most of us RC pilots fly MUCH less expensive planes (and definitely not jets).. Actually, I buy most of my planes used. You can save a FORTUNE as long as you know how to fix up planes and engines.
That was spectacular from beginning frame to end frame. Wow! Great flying and great camera work!!
I would have preferred hearing the jet more than the event music. Great flying, fantastic machine, sorry to see it get destroyed but even the explosion looked to scale!
Honey? Do you remember that huge house payment that I was supposed to pay the other day? Yes says the wife what did you do with it? Well dear it's kind of like this I invested it into an airplane design about 35,000! The wife says whaaaat? He continues yeah dear I was watching that thing fly today a thing of beauty at an air show but unfortunately no fault of mine it crashed in a tragic blaze of glory! She says you know what else has crashed in a blazing Glory? I'm afraid to ask he says what? This marriage! Until we are divorced you get to sleep in the garage and think about what you did! Yes dear he says! He wonders in the garage man I really should have made that house payment! 😬😳😱😨🙄

NTSB is going on working theory that the loud crappy music interfered with the models electronics leading to the crash.

The announcer gave a top speed, but I was wondering what g-force he was pulling in those snap-to-verticals. I was waiting for the wings to come off.
A lot of those scratches will buff right out 👍
That hurt to watch but clearly it wasn’t the pilots fault. This guy can fly !

My cousin,kinda rich spoiled kid wanted a helicopter. Well his daddy gave in and bought him a 7k model till he learned to fly,long story short he crashed at his first lesson and found out that the more expensive ones are easier to fly so they ran out and bought him another!
Sad to see. Great flying from the pilot, certainly more aerobatic than you usually see from these jets.
Announcer: “It goes 199.8 miles per hour!”
Jet: “Wait til you see how fast I stop”
Ok. I just blew coffee out my nose laughing 😂
Oh gods, that's just rude, couldn't stop laughing.
LOLOL!
A very expensive toy just crashed and burned.
This is savage! I laughed wine through my nose lol
Usually the turbine itself is 3,500 just by itself or more 35,000 sounds about right they are expensive so are those large scale helicopters
Sad to see such an incredible RC jet lose fuel or some other failure. Wish to see them back in action soon. I am very impressed with the skill set of operator
Must've been an electrical fault, looks like he completely lost control of the plane, it just kept rolling into the ground. Shame, such a beautiful aircraft, probably expensive, too. Can't imagine how the pilot must've felt when there's suddenly smoke and the controls stop responding.
@@laihela were I to hazard a guess - judging be the clear loss of control immediately after the first hint of smoke I would say the engine popped (hence the smoke) severing the antenna. I had a similar thing happen with a 1/6 B-25, the bomb bay door servo arm snagged the antenna severing it.

Although we can feel bad about the demise of the aircraft, it was probably one of the most beautiful explosions in RC history!
Hahaha . . 🤣🤣🤣
Great job on the photography, kept it nicely in frame whole time. Hurts your heart when it flames out, you know it's coming down like a dart. 😕
So sad to see it go down like that.
Especially when it also takes out your control.. no chance to at least try and glide it in for a somewhat controlled crash landing where it can be recovered and repaired.
The pilot was really good... if anybody could have brought it down in one piece, it woulda been him.
Sad loss, but at least it drove itself into the ground where there was nobody around to get hurt.
Such a sad loss.
Well no. I mean the person is on the money while it is performing insane aerobatics... But then loses it completely when it's on the ground burning and going nowhere
need an emergency parachute on its own channel
And why exactly would it come down like that?
Wow even the crash was so realistic, the flames and all....excellent show
Jets tend to do that boomy thing when crashed into a field. Pretty spectacular flying though, right up till the boom.
Very unfortunate loss of a well-flown and beautiful plane. Obviously a huge mechanical failure that messed up any ability to control the plane after the problem occurred.
Thank you Captain Obvious
No sh1t Sherlock.
@@salr362 What’s what Watson!
I would have never thought an RC plane could make such a realistic plane crash, fire, and smoke...wow!!
Glad no one got hurt. Pretty impressive flying. More impressive camera work.
Yes a lot of people don't realize when someone is flying an RC aircraft and loses control that means it could easily hit and kill someone and the guy holding the remote control can do nothing about it. That's why you really should not fly these things in populated areas. I was flying one at a college football stadium parking lot and lost control. I got lucky and it came straight down in the parking lot but it was surrounded by four busy streets on all sides. I got lucky on that one.
Dang that sucks! My guess is turbine blew and severed control linkages or electrical lines to servos.. An engine out you could glide back in, but that was pure yard dart straight in. = no control. Luckily not into spectators, parking area or houses. Thats a big plane. Well flown though.
Road in background seems quite near... Lucky drivers
@@serioustrouble63 telephoto lens, not as close as it looked.
Great flying skills, sorry about that loss..!!😢
Yes, may it RIP. Oh, it already did rip (apart).
That was some amazing flying! What exactly happened? No gas? Malfunction of flaps?
That's why a properly trained RC flyer never flies over any people or cars.
Incredible piloting. The agility was jaw dropping
That hurt to watch. It looks like the flame out did something to the controls because he 'should' have been able to glide it to a landing, but the flame out must have damaged internal control elements causing a total loss of control. Beautiful flying though. Great skill.
I was thinking the same
Yes. But what actually happened? The cause of the crash should have been in the description.
Yes you're right. After flame out I think servos got frozen. We can see the plane go down with a left roll movement. Pretty sure the pilot tried to turn right an pull, with no reaction.
Nobody knows what exactly happened, there is nothing left to analyze
@@Levitate-it Is there a way to prevent the servos from freezing up in the case that happens? Could you possibly protect the electronics more?
Quite a large but momentary negative G event just before the flame out. Did it dislodge the engine? Or did something rupture, set alight and damage the receiver?
Good show! I've never seen one of these wrung out to such extreme G. Clearly a skilled pilot, but the excessive loading may have contributed to the failure. That was one heck of a tough plane to be able to handle those forces. It's fortunate that nobody was in the path when it lawn darted.
Yup I thought a few times those wings would fail.
LOL@ "lawn darted"!!!
Force exerted scales with mass. Think of an ant falling off a tree vs a human doing the same thing. That plane doesn't weigh much so the g-forces it can withstand are far greater than a real plane.
@@TehButterflyEffect You clearly never had an RC model fold its wings up then.
Lawn darted lol
The visual, timeline & recovery is a exact match to my last relationship.
It looked like the radio went into failsafe which resulted in the turbine being automatically shut down. This happened at 2:40, I think the pilot was a passenger from then on, the jet could have crashed anywhere, thank goodness it was a field and not the road or the spectator area.
Much better theory in my opinion. The way the turbine performed up until point makes it seem unlikely there was a thrust pipe failure as suggested above.
I'm not a turbine guy but do flame outs result in black smoke? If you go back and watch, the initial flame is white which from my limited experience seems more like what you'd get once a turbine shuts down. Then well before impact the smoke turns pretty rapidly black. This seems to indicate rapid spread of damage onboard as things begin burning... or maybe flameouts do yield black smoke and I'm flat wrong 🤷♂️
@@wspepsilon Flameout basically just means that the engine stops running. Engine fires are a different thing.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flameout
@@wspepsilon no black smoke in a flame out, only white smoke or not smoke at all , black smoke is caused by fire inside plane : engine failure with burning fioul out of engine or pipe failure with exhaust gaz burning the inside of the plane, you could have a failure on tank or on fuel tubing that alow to have fuel sucked by engine stopping it and causing a fire inside plane ; on vidéo you see he have roll control till the end but quickly lost the elevator ; i've experienced a few "hot starts" on ground: fire can cause damages on electric wiring and on plane in few seconds....
After the Engine incident the pilot obviously had no Elevator control, however, he did appear to have Aileron control, certainly as it entered the dive.
Most likely cause is the Engine malfunction took out the Elevator Servo and/or Control Snake.
Damn, that was a shame. Something must have blown up and cut the radio, he had no control over it after that smoke trail started. He was high enough he could have dead sticked it into a landing.
I came for the crash, but then after seeing how nice of a jet it was and watched how skillfully it was being flown, I actually hated to see the crash! (Which was also very realistic by the way.) Thanks for posting!
Only thing missing is the pilot ejecting.

You pay the money… you take the chances. I like RC aviation, I’m also career long aircraft mechanic & pilot. If these guys would put a camera in the airplane for visual reference it would minimize the accidents.
RC aircraft are not stressed for the G load the real bird is… one control surface fails you’re toast!!!
I wish I had a tenth of the skill of that pilot. Absolutely spectacular flight. Wonder what happened? It just shut down. Strange. Everything was there, a split second later, everything was gone. No control whatsoever.
Damn shame!
I didn't see our tiny Airman eject.
May he rest in heaven 3 day's befor the devil knows he's gone.
TAPS
The flight was unreal, never seen anything like it. If you could give us an update regarding the crash investigation it would be appreciated.
Here for the investigation info.
Are you expecting a report from the NTSB?
@@Blueknight1960 No numbnuts. But anything that fly’s at that speed, with flammable liquid onboard, over populated areas, clearly needs an explanation for any major crash. Not to mention the owners and manufacturers need to understand what happened. Clear enough for your pea brain?
It was a pre-planned Russian test of the fire extinguishers. All good.
The Pilot was able to bailout at the
last second!!!
What's the big hurry getting to the wreckage? Like there is something salvageable?
So glad it didn't hit the road or the houses across the street. Great pilot and great plane. So sad to see this happen. Sorry, Frank.
Would it be possible to add a parachute that you could deploy from the controller?
It's possible in principle but would be bulky and add significant weight. Because RC models fly low it would be unlikely to help in most situations. In any case this was a total loss of control, so he wouldn't have been able to deploy a parachute, even if one were fitted.
I wonder what kind of G-Force, that plane was experiencing? Fantastic flying, one of the best Pilots I've ever witnessed, Total Control in maneuvers, his skill level was unbelievable. So sorry for the loss. But all of us pilots, have experienced similar, mishaps. Today is June 13th 2022.
And isn't the turbine manufacturer supposed to offer a warranty for that? I mean a washing machine doesn`t explode if it brokes but a small failure is fatal to a turbine in the air. Some investigations required maybe?
I was wondering about the g forces also. This pilot was fantastic.
Thanks I'd been wondering what year it was ever since I managed to get out of bed somehow.
Indeed, I was cringing at some of those turns and pull ups, I was expecting a structural failure. Any crash really sucks, no matter the price tag.
Yes, I noticed the extreme Gs being pulled and thought they were bad news. Obviously one aspect of good piloting is keeping your aircraft in decent enough shape to get home.
Sorry about the plane, but the great thing about this being an RC show (as opposed to a piloted air show) is that you can have an epic crash like that... and no one was hurt.
Wonder if there is telemetry data to look at ? Be nice to get post crash report. Nice flying tho !
That was the cutest explosion I’ve ever seen.
wait till your next real flight...
That sucks. Dude's a great pilot you can tell he had a lot of experience flying that thing.
I feel really bad for the pilot that day. That person was putting on one hell of a show! Hope they get back at it soon.
That was some amazing LOS flying, well done! Shame about the malfunction.
Were the crew members able to eject safely!? Was anyone on the ground hurt!
This pilot/owner was putting on an epic show with his skills , until his plane developed an engine problem....then we all know the heartbreak of such a loss...maybe not this expensive , but still a loss. Hope the wife understands..
Man, great camera work!!¡
Agreed!
Agreed
Best I've seen in a long time!
Right? Spot on!
Except for not tracking it and keeping it in the frame to the ground impact, yeah
Expert piloting, well done!
This is why I don’t fly radio control airplanes anymore. This happened to me too much too many crashes. I quit. Started playing guitar instead. Sorry for your loss. I know it’s a very painful thing to lose such a beautiful airplane. I know a lot of hard work goes into putting those together, I put a lot of plans together in my life. I quit this hobby in 1974 and exchanged it for guitar.🎸🎼🎵🎶🎸
That aircraft flew great...And then it flew all the way to the crash site too!
I couldn't imagine losing a model like this.
I would cry definitely .
the thought of telling my mate I crashed it .
A huge shame. brought a tear to my eye to see that thing go down. Very skillful flying of a well kept RC Aircraft, hopefully he can recoup the funds to get another one or another similar one so that others can again watch him fly at events again in the future.
The NTSB is still investigating, only 3 or 4 more years until we get some answers don't worry
Would love to know if the pilot ever discovered exactly what happened here. Besides the flame-out he seems to have completely lost control of the plane. Normally a flameout at that altitude would be an easy dead-stick landing for a decent pilot (and this guy was a good pilot), asssuming you still have radiio control and working servos.
That was my question, what caused the loss of control, did the motor blow up the radio or ?
I think something explodes inside the plane and burn some servo or transmitter…
@wtgphoto Right. Why would the control surfaces get power from the engine? That's supposed to be battery driven. That argues that the flame out severed some wiring, or more likely was caused by an internal fuel leak that burned the control center as low fuel pressure caused the flame out.
It’s a jet, without power falls like a rock controls have no use without thrust .
@@jeffreylong9405 Wtf the plane can glide and land perfectly fine without thrust…
That is one hell of great pilot and being someone that loves everything RC this makes me really feel for the guy.
Hats off to the camera operator. Kept that jet in frame the entire time.
Wow.. right in the cornfield!! That’s terrible!! Really impressive to see the agility of that plane..
