Wing spar failure seems to be a common crash cause. You RC guys oughta study the 1931 Fokker Trimotor crash that killed Knute Rockne. That accident led to the banning of wooden wing spars in commercial passenger transport aircraft in the USA. Can RC design take anything away from that?
I can feel for these guys because I know that every time one of those models goes in....hundreds....possibly thousands of building hours go with them...and some times you can repair them, but mostly it "Bin it" and start from scratch! Thanks for he vid mate!
How do rc airplane guys around the world manage to miss the runway so often is something I can't comprehend, I also see guys trying to land while applying forward elevator quite often😳
No... but most of these models are fuel driven. You want to get over there quickly, before any potential fuel leaks occur over your hot engine, or a ruptured Li-Po explodes and turn a possibly salvageable wreck, into a fireball.
In some it is almost as if someone has tuned on a transmitter with the same frequency. Had RC cars go crazy when that happened when I was into them in the late 80s and 90s. The slow mo shots look so dramatic. Thanks for showing bro
2.4 still isn’t glitch free, it’s damn good but not perfect. I’ve had my fair share of radio glitches causing me to lose an AC. But I think my problems where caused by the place I was flying at.
Well done Peter another great video we all suffer this side of the hobby from time to time hopefully the percentage of aircraft are now repaired and flying again !👍👍🙂
I told myself that I shouldn't be watching this, but then I thought... NO! There's nothing wrong with watching it! As others have already pointed out, it's part of the hobby; it's instructive and interesting... So there's nothing wrong with watching it. What's WRONG is... enjoying it. ;-) Mwuh-hu-hu-huuur!
Another entertaining video from across the pond. Great shooting Pete. 😎 as for the slow motion, I really enjoy it. Did I see Deano crash a jet ? Hope you guys are well. Wayne So. Ca. Usa... ✈
I'm glad there aren't lots of scathingly critical Comments from the experienced pilots of full-sized aircraft, berating the 'mere' modellers for failing to observe this, that, or the other fundamental technicality re approach speeds, tip-stalling, situational awareness observation, and all the rest of it. With all due respect to their knowledge and undoubted skill with full-size aircraft, it's worth pointing out that flying a line-of-sight RC model is infinitely more tricky than flying its full-sized counterpart. You get NO feedback from the controls. You can't feel the stall approaching; you can't hear airflow; you don't get any buffeting or lateral slip sensations; the transmitter controls are fully proportional but highly sensitive to the most minuscule of inputs; model engines don't always respond as expected; you have NO airspeed indication; you can SEE ground-effect, but you can't feel it as you flare... And so on, and so forth. It's still darned good fun, though - even if things don't always go as planned.
Right on Ell P! We have a couple of commercial Pilots in our Model Aircraft flying club and they say that flying a model is infinitely harder than flying a real plane....and for exactly the same reasons as you have mentioned.
Been there, done that! So frustrating when it happens to you which is why I'd rather have RC toys with four wheels that don't fly. Anything that flies is a guaranteed $100.00 bucks or more if it crashes. Each time I crashed my Thunder Tiger Raptor 50 helicopter I questioned wtf I was doing lol. If your not completely dedicated to this type of stuff, you might as well not even get started in the hobby. It's very expensive, like owning a boat. You know what BOAT stands for? Break out another thousand! This hobby is the same!
When I was 14 a friend talked me into buying and building a rather large control line kit. Probably 3 months of all my spare time went into this thing. I had never flown one before not even those cheap .049 ones at the toy store. Took it out to a grass field fired the big powerful motor my friend held then launched it... got about 1/3 revolution then went straight up at incredible speed and straight down, exploding in hundreds of pieces. Even the engine was destroyed. I never built a model kit of any kind again although I did have s number of RC cars all short lived. Like an electric one I bought in the navy when I was 18... it was $200 in 1980 a lot of money then the box said it did 35mph and that wasnt scale speed. Fun for the week it lasted.
I did not understand the comment and the context with the 3D plane hitting the helicopter on the runway. Who was at fault? On my field helicopters are not allowed to fly off an active runway! If there is a plane in the air, it is an active runway.
I was a plank only guy until I got into collective pitch helis about three years ago. Having flown both for a while now i asked myself the same question. Common sense dictates that any VTOL aircraft should defer the runway to fixed-wing aircraft.
the idea was that the plane would race along the runway very fast towards the heli - the heli was supposed to lift off at the last minute and the plane go under the heli ! BUT the head speed on the heli did not pick up quick enough for it to lift off in time - the plane pilot owned both models so lost a fair bit of money

BUT the head speed on the heli did not pick up quick enough for it to lift off in time - the plane pilot owned both models so lost a fair bit of money
@@tbobborap1 I see now! Yeah, I did something similar about a month ago- I was hovering my heli while a 1:5 scale short course truck ramped over me. Went awesome until we got the cameras out, then my heli got creamed by the truck!🤣 Glad it was my beater and not my hangar queen!
It's really hard to land standing parallel to the aircraft. It would be easier on the brain to get the controls right if the plane came overhead and the pilot could visualize L and R from a true perspective rather than parallel. But that seems extremely dangerous watching all of these wrecks.
Armchair pilots... if one legs come down, chances are its not going back up again. Also, with one leg, your better off on tarmac. On rough grass, that one leg can dig in, flip the aircraft round and possibly sheer a wing off. On tarmac all you get is some tarmac rash on the wing tips.
Plane : I hate helicopters. I'm gone kill him 😜 Helicopter : my first flight ever. Now set the throttle slowly to up.... 6:04 Plane : hah first try 😏 Helicopter : Wait did I destroyed my heli?
I make my air planes out of freaking foam board, and i have a hard time gathering up the courage to fly them. these are flying perfect replicas of real war birds! how do they fly them?!? lol

The jet form 7:38 to 8:00 ... absolutely marvellous ! Never seen anything more gracious. Congratulations !
Very nice series! We all love seeing someone else's plane crash knowing no one was injured 😎
7:40 best rc-plane move i have ever seen
thanks J
Very expensive move
I'm pretty sure that wasn't in the "script" ;D
Whats this maneuver called?

Ouch...ouch...ouch....you did a great job ... editing etc ... Thank you P & D ... your production is significant.
6:06 Revenge of the epic mid air! Well done!
I love the way the guys 'run' over to collect the crashed plane. Like they might save more lives if they hurry.
lol - thanks craig

@@roadsweeper1 point taken
RC Modelers are great people, with loads of patience, and cash, obviously. Well done video, cheers
thanks crusty
Love watching these toy planes crash.
Ironically, the awesome thumbnail wasn’t click bait but it was the only model to escape unscathed.
My respects, gentlemen. Certainly not model railroading, locomotives don't crash in a thousand pieces.
Who else spends hours watching these
Most of the guys that build beautiful scale aircraft are usually terrible pilots. Most, not all.
As an RC hobbyest, Ifeel the pain of every crash. Hours of work and $$.
Beautiful Renault by Majorette, thanks for showing this one!...Bill

Almost every one uses 2.4ghz now, can't happen anymore :)
Oh ok thanks for that, cheers
cheers ken, yes I know what you mean m8, slow mo helps to see what went wrong
2.4 still isn’t glitch free, it’s damn good but not perfect. I’ve had my fair share of radio glitches causing me to lose an AC. But I think my problems where caused by the place I was flying at.
My question is why are they landing the Warhawk and the DC3 like that? WTH it wasn't dead stick so why are they slamming them down onto the ground?
5:41 - He landed in a similar way to the "Gimli Glider" ( Air Canada Flight 143 )
Sacré bande de pilotes du dimanche... pas tous mais presque !
Failure to maintain proper airspeed (stalling) in the final few seconds before landing, destroys many large expensive model airplanes.
has a WW1 biplane ever landed without flipping?
What sort of question is that? Of course not :P There are plenty of period photos of full-scale ones that have done the same thing.
That was how you exited the vehicle.
06:06 - plane: out of my way choppy
The Me 163 flew 100% historically accurate 👌
Now I know. NEVER fly without a black plastic bin liner.
Well done Peter another great video we all suffer this side of the hobby from time to time hopefully the percentage of aircraft are now repaired and flying again !👍👍🙂
thanks jasee, some were not as bad as they looked
Enjoyed it immensely.... thank you.
You win again,Gravity! 🛩 ☠️
Some of these planes are massive-come a long way from the Cox 'fly it round your head 'model
At 6:05 the plane made that helicopter instantly disappear. xD
6:04 ill be honest i wasnt expecting that one o.0
I told myself that I shouldn't be watching this, but then I thought... NO! There's nothing wrong with watching it!

So there's nothing wrong with watching it. What's WRONG is... enjoying it. ;-)
Mwuh-hu-hu-huuur!
6:04 "Fun time is over tiny helicopter!"
Do you know where the original for this incident is?
Were any of the plane's black boxes recovered?
What was that heli doing on the runway, and why did noone inform the planes pilot about it?
That damn vampire is tough!!!
The bi plane was the most realistic, right out of barn storming days.
Another entertaining video from across the pond. Great shooting Pete. 😎 as for the slow motion, I really enjoy it. Did I see Deano crash a jet ? Hope you guys are well.

thanks wayne, I generally do slow mo to show people the reason for the crash etc etc
Feliz año 2020 desde Chile y excelente video 👍🤘🇨🇱
I love crashes. Especially someone else's.
same here, very entertaining & some shouldn't be in charge of a lawn tractor!..lolol

Makes me sad. I've crashed my fair share of RC aircraft in my day. Thanks for posting!
It's raining balsa
what a great way to waste money and time building these just to crash them, thanks for the laughs
6:05 (Joker voice) "I'm going to make this helicopter disappear!"
4:48 It looked like the P-47 shot the other planes out of the sky! Spectacular!
So many of these I wanted to add my own soundtrack... "WARNING, WARNING... PULL UP... PULL UP..."
Oh, the humanity....
its not the Hindenburg dino
Fortunately no lives were lost during the making of this documentary...
During slow motion scenes, you can hear cows talking.
Dont worry George it's not the taking off you gotta worry about it's the landing
Nice crashes. Hard, but Its a Part of this Hobby
thanks rc

Don't worry, after a while you can compile whole airplanes from old debri, so it becomes cheaper haha.
thanks JB
that's sucks , so many hours invested , and those RC got smashed I a fraction of second
Just part of the hobby unfortunately, I've had my share, often due to inadequate allowance for talent.
Anyoldion it really is. Gotta learn to laugh it off and enjoy your carnage.
Nice one Pete, great entertainment. 🐵
thanks chimp
Nice job
thanks rumple
Cela calme vite fait de faire des acrobaties avec mes avions ce week-end....
The Best.
They ran out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas......all at the same time.
4:00 - The Walk of Shame.
lol
7:40 I was like no no no no no no no no no no no no no no........... ooooo yeahhhhhhh
That moment when the clickbait was actually happening :). Awesome stunt.
Great video.☺️
7:39 Why this is my personal favorite turbine model!
4:35 that bloke is less than impressed.
I like the slow Mo. Thanks for the great videos you make.
thanks robby
sucks. i hate to see that much work go down the drain. good bid. thanks
cheers bob
2019? Ive seen almost all o that on your channel before :(
well now you've seen the bits youd never seen before jan
This is why I could never get into that hobby.
One mistake and hours of labour and money gone in one second.
RC ships now I could get behind that.
It isn't that tough, you start off with cheap stuff.....If I can do it, anyone can. Most of the guys you seen just had more money that brains.

How did I end up in the dark side of the web???
You can see the pilot eject in that first one.

Houston control, were going down.

The corsair with the one wheel should have headed for the long grass
And also tried belly landing..

also known as the Bin Baggers because most of them seem to take them home in Bin Bags
The crashes are just like.....bink lol. In the back of my mind I guess I was expecting something a little more.
bink ???????
Disposable income must be nice.

Yeah, you should try some
What do these guys with one wheel atempt to land. Why not wheels up?. They never turn out good.
