I see me in there!! The pilot here did a lot of the right stuff. He was working the situation and just ran out of luck. Unfortunately this happens. He had a gear malfunction. Gear wouldn't come down. When you see him fly hard ( fast, tight turns e.t.c) towards the end, he was trying to help force the gear to come down. And when he finally did, you see him try to head straight for the runway and I believe he ran out of fuel and flamed out. KT 450 in that bad boy!
Yeah, it looked like it ran out of fuel... No pilot would turn that sharply with that low of airspeed intentionally. Shame. This is why I'll never buy a plane with air gear. Just nothing, but heartache and headaches.
@@fern6978 Ironic you say that. I have had more issues with electric gear than I ever have with air. Electric gear in my F-15, doing a taxi test i went 1/3rd throttle for 100 feet. Went idle and max brakes. It rolled for 500 feet then went off edge of runway and broke nose wheel. Swapped to air brakes and no issues since.
@victorrcjets7660 such awesome jets, I would have to find a budget and aircraft I wouldn't mind crashing.....I have a bad temper and I could not recover crashing a scale aircraft like this one....good luck with future models and may you never crash another.
Not really but my advice is only fly what are prepared to lose. If that means flying cheap home built foamy then thats fine, I have built a ton of them and loved flying them more than the expensive stuff because there is simply no fear about crashing them so I can push them beyond limits and just laugh when it all goes wrong. However IF you have a ton of money and £5k is nothing much to lose on a toy then go for it, it's all relative.
If it ran out of fuel I am surprised it still caught on fire. Been flying turbines for just over 10 years and have never seen a jet with no fuel catch fire after it crashed.
He flew that baby until the end for sure, sad to see that but he was getting really slow with it, did he run out of fuel or it just quit flying?? I sure hate to see that and feel bad for the pilot.

sure frank, I need to go through our videos I believe we got something from you also

@@stevencole8881 That's almost never the case these days... Air has a MUCH higher likelihood of having issues/leaks compared to decent electric IME.
Hey there is Frank in there.... Very beginning!! Did you guys get to hang out at all??
We totally got to hang out i spotted for him.
Yeah it was either fuel starvation or flame out. 6 and half minutes up and still doing maneuvers is a bit long especially if that’s a 300 in there.
Yes he flew it hard so I thought so
Can you insure these models? Cause It would only take one crash for me to walk away from the activity.
I was told if you have renters insurance. You can file a claim but I don't have that.

Yes for sure, but many are in shock after a crash and forget to hit the kill switch, ask me how I know!

I thought this was a T-1 prototype F-16 that Barry Hou had in his pits, not the BVM..
Yes frank told me, Every F17 all looks the same!
sad , f-16 was flying so good ~~
I know the feeling
Kudos to the Camerathem
it happens
Flying it till it runs out of fuel is not a good decision where belly landing will save the day.. .
It is an unfortunate choice
Oh no, what happened? Power loss?
I wasn't sure but I believe he might have been up too long.
Damn.....
Yeah major bummer
no gears , belly land
I guess he was having gear issues, That's what took him so long. I guess he did not have time to get him back up.
Hind sight is always 20/20. ;-)
Horrible !!!
