I've been an RC pilot for about 15 years. Got my PPL on full scale planes last year. What we learned is that every approach ends in a go around with the option of a landing. Looking at your video, some of these incidents could have been avoided by just going around an trying again. 😊
Naah but the pride would been hurt :D
That is totally correct! Go Arounds save lots of aircraft!
Yeah , but then they wouldn't be learning
nuthin.
Exactly! Unless you are already out of fuel and making a dead stick landing, going around is a great idea!
Now admit it - it’s a lot easier than RC flying, eh? Congratulations on the PPL. 👍🏻
LOL the tendencey to push the nose down to get it on the ground is strong.. and the beginning of a SNAFU in many cases. I've been flying RC since 1974, consider myself half ass decent at the circuit and landings, but I never take them for granted - you need to earn the good ones every time.
Agreed!
Shocked at how they can miss a hella big runway. Most of us don't have the benefit of big fields and have to land on a spaghetti strip. 😔
HAHA. It happens!
They love grass lol
I know.. and the paved runway is about 3000'+++ feet long and they all feel the need to land before reaching the taxi way or the world will blow up.
Absolutely, your insight is spot on. Whether in RC or full-scale aviation, the ability to recognize a less-than-optimal situation and opt for a go-around is a skill that comes with experience and a commitment to safety. Trial version of testing before flying is always good.
😎
I'm getting old. Been at this a long time. Watching those approach speeds makes me appreciate a Cub that much more :) I love Cubs ... I have 3 of them! :):):)
HAHA. Thanks Robert!
@@thelightersideofrc 🙂
So the lesson to be learned is to make sure you get some really good photos of that beautiful model before you fly it. Always nice to have a "before" pic.
HAHA. Well said!
F7F hits and smashes...pilot yells "Stupid plane, just lay there till you get it right!"
LOL.
Thanks for the video and also the reason I stay with foam, usually bigger and less pieces to pick up lol.
😂
way cheaper too!!
I hope there were survivors from the landings gone so terribly wrong. Hopefully no animals were abused also. It's times like these ,we should all come together and hold hands in prayer!
😂
Shocked at a lot of these approaches. Buying a fancy model doesn’t mean you get golden fingers delivered in the box. Learning how to walk before running, I.e. learning all about landings in a simple model, is far less expensive
😎
where is the fun in that?
After examining the debris field the RCNTSB is expected to release the definitive report on the cause of the accident relatively quickly. After all, it was a small accident.
HAHA!😂
The first one didn't appear to even be an attempt at a landing, but more like a low level high speed pass gone wrong.
Yea exactly.
As a fellow middle-age RC pilot, most of these guys are flying planes above their skill level. Besides being a waste of money, time and effort, this can also be dangerous to others at the field. They should move back to flying more basic planes and practice landings.
🤔
Ugh... That debris field was brutal 😢
Yea no kidding. BOOM! YARDSALE!!!
It looks like they are teaching a new RC landing technique. Dive at the runway, pitch up hard and hold it till it almost stalls then stretch out the glide until it stalls/snaps or pancakes in on the belly. 😂
😂
Heartbreaking to watch, knowing how much time, effort, skill and money went into building them all.....but. No-one injured, property damage limited to dents in the earths crust, no endangerment of anykind.
Yea well put Keith!
Amazing how so many of them can't seem to find the runway!! Are you turning over your waypoints to ensure you're lined up? You can turn and aim it toward you, then kick it out slightly. You could also make a much lower down wind pass so you don't build up speed and slap the thing on the runway....
HAHA. It happens!
Thanks for the video ... ouchie!!! Lots of work and time lost there!!
You got that right! Thanks for watching
Jonathan looks like you will never have a Slow Year Building Airplane & Jets with these Guys Flying! lol.
HAHA. Well put!
Yay the baby mig made the blooper reel 😂 god that hurt even me 😢
🙄
Ah the pit falls of not being prepared before entering the air. Happens to all of us.
👍
This is why I love FT foamboard planes... because my soul doesn't get squashed when I crash..... and they're fun to fly.
Understandably!
Ouch! I’ve got that same Tigercat, haven’t flown it yet.
Well. Don't do what he did! HAHA
Funny thing is, although I haven't flown r/c for 40 years, I still have dreams at night in which I'm fiercely concentrating on flying them, I suppose it's so deeply embedded in my subconscious for the rest of my life..:)
HAHA. once an RC Flier, Always an RC Flier?!
What I see at the RC filed is people don't practice landings. They get the thing up in the air trim it out and go right to aerobatics. Should be doing touch and go's and learn to land the thing. If you can't land it should not be taking off. If your worried about crashing it learning to land buy a cheap foam plane for learning. If you never learned proper way to land, get some instruction.
Great Points!
Love the Snowbird model!
😎
This was a nice change
Thanks! Been Saving this one for a while.
The first guy looked excited lol
LOL. Yea no kidding! WOOHOO! 😂😂
Been there, done that...more times than I'll ever admit too. 🤣
I'm sure most of us have!
Just a crap flying
🙈🙈🙈 Wurfgleiter aus Papier machen auch Spaß 😅😅😅
😂
"Why is R/C such an expensive hobby?"
"Because the hardest part to learn is the landing."
I've flown R/C, thirty-five or so years ago. Jets as we know them now didn't exist (ducted fans were new back then, and ran on high performance glow engines). I had a couple major crashes -- spun in after a "count the spins" went flat, repaired the airplane and was back at the field in two weeks; pulled the wings off an Olympic 650 glider flying with two pounds of lead ballast in slope lift and seeing how tight a loop I could pull (that one was a total, but I saved the radio and built another glider). I don't think I ever landed as badly as these, though. I always flew birds that could slow down...
WELL SAID!
I’ve had some nice planes. My favorite was my boomerang jet. Man I flew the wings off it! Never really crash landed it. So much fun.
Totally! Such a great plane that grows with your flying ability!
That first one, Is that what they a touch and stay? That was a gorgeous model!
HAHA. Touch and Stay! I like that!
I love RC planes, but they love to crash all too often.
It Happens!!!
I used to fly r/c, their wrecks are scattered all over the countryside..:)
😂😂
@@thelightersideofrc I lost 3 r/c planes on separate occasions in cornfields, the amazing thing is that although I saw the exact spot where they went in just a hundred yards away, i couldn't find them despite trudging around through the corn for an hour.
I eventually got 2 back months later when farmers found them and notified me, but they were in a soggy waterlogged state after months exposure to the elements..:)
LOL! Too true. A burn barrel, the ultimate fate of all RC planes.
Almost did myself a little stall last weekend too😅
It happens!
First clip is mine. Glad to see it here. Hope the owner of the tigercat is OK with you sharing it.
😱
He doesn't have a choice.....
I wanna fly at this field, my landings will look spectacular.. lol.
😂😂
Well to you hotshots glad you are flying model planes not full size ones.
LOL.
Well, Certainly one way to keep the plane manufacturers in business..😂😂😂😂
HAHA. Totally!
What about the pilot’s family’s, so tragic. What a loss.St.Paul.
No Animals or pilots were harmed in the making of this film.
Some of these landing cut right to the soul....😥
HAHA. Well put!
This is why I have about 30 RC cars and drones, but zero airplanes. I just know I'd auger an RC plane into a spectator's cranium. LOL. The kicker is...I'm an actual pilot (1:1 scale 😂), but it's different. I love watching them fly on TH-cam though.
But planes are so fun!!!! Thanks for watching!
don't go through life like an old lady with hemorrhoids crossing an icy street
get a hobby zone carbon cub and you'll be flying like a pro in no time. a thin coat of epoxy fixes foam airplanes real well
This is an advanced technique, so-caled lithobraking.
HAHA.
Nice to see I am not the only one....
HAHA. If your flying, you will have Ooops moments at some point!
its like most people don't know how to trim their planes for take off and landings.
Possibly!
First guy had no business flying that low 5 secs before it hit, let alone by the time it was skimming the ground lol especially with no gear out and under power still. Gear battery guy did excellent an didnt hurt anything but the paint. amazing how many can find the runway when its 60+ft wide too
😂
It happens I know the feeling. You just hope you can repair it or salvage what you can.
🙌
almost thought my jet was done before I got to play with it 😅
😂🤣
Old guys with diminished skills aside...it just boggles the mind to be this deep into the hobby and you can't find the center line of the runway. Even on a 100 foot wide runway guys are missing the center line! Did they learn to fly on park foamies and scale up everything except flying fundamentals? That's a lot of money in the dirt at the edge of a perfectly good runway.
😂😂
Almost all these landings happened with elevator trim set for high speed.😢
😳
That first one for some reason was the worst to me. Hits the ground it's fine hits again and it's gone
HAHA. Yea that was the most brutal for sure!
I'm sorry, but I just have to say this, based primarily on the way this is presented. "AND NOT A SINGLE PILOT WAS INJURED IN THE CARNAGE. ABSOLUTELY MIRACULOUS!!!
HAHA. Phew!
I've done that. It's call loss os situation awareness.
HAHA. Totally.
Airspeed!! / Landing too FAST! / What centreline!?!? / ARE YOU CLEAR OF OBSTACLES ON APPROACH TO THE RUNWAY!? :P :P :P
😂
been there, done that, filled the garbage bags...
LOL. Yea you and many others.
It’s entertaining but hard to watch at the same time 😢😂
Totally understand!
Some very nice aircraft that shouldn't've been lost. And time/money/emotional distress.
Happens!
Flown RC a long time and I can easily say this video is a case of having more $$ than skill set! I flew RC Heli’s in competition and I’ve seen it many times. Guys barely learn to hover and show up at the field the next week with big $$ competition Heli’s top of the line. All the while there’s some poor guy with duct tape on his canopy just shredding it.😂🤣 one thing you can’t buy is skill and experience. Which takes time and patience. The best advice I can give anyone is to remember power is for altitude and pitch is for speed when landing full scale or models.
Fun Video hey! 😂 Thanks for watching!
That sucks, just lost my Pioneer in the sun. Crash and burn or a loss, just as sad..
Yea it's always sad to see one crash!
Short final....inverted!
😂
F7F wood for a bondfire now
F5J when you gotta land now 3:13
HAHA. Exactly!
Always take a large plastic bag to the flying field :)
😂
Bad pilots put a trash bag inside their plane. That way, it's already there.
Huh, didn’t see of of TBrum in there. Must not be flying much. 😉
Lol
In real aviation a good landing is any you can walk away from. What's the RC equivalent - any you can carry away in one piece?
Sounds about right!
A lot wernt landing on the strip. When flying planes of that standard and cost ya gotta be able to land on that strip!!
Truth!
Im guessing that some of these pilots jump straight into jet aircraft without learning the basics of flying. Doesn’t matter how good you think you are, ALWAYS start with a simple trainer or at least a simulator…
Very true. Still stressful for some.
I think that would get to be an expensive hobby.
It can be if you have lots of last flights with your aircraft.
The goods and bads!!
Exactly!
Jeez, all these jet flyers can’t land! Learn the basics before you move up. How did these guys get signed off?
🙌
This is some of the reasons RemoteID are here to stay!
😂
Not knowing anything about RC, is it safe to assume those fences and nets are to protect the operator from a plane that decides to kamikaze?
Sort of. Many purposes but if 2 are flying at once and someone has a bad take off it keeps the other pilot safe.
Key issue I see that results in the major part of the damage is ... Poor Depth perception. I know because it happens to me.
In these videos clearly the folks think they are over the runway when they aren't either in distance from runway start or lateral alignment on the runway. Now when it's going to be a gear up landing, yeah the grass apron might be softer but in most cases it's just simple depth perception, and when you add that to an engine out issue or something not working right, it clearly has bad results.
Agreed! And Nerves I think add to some of the issue as well.
@thelightersideofrc Can't do much when the problems occur one the first loop, but one more reason to add an alignment and distance pass at least once or twice before landing AND consciously do those as pre-landing actions. For me... I'm always taking multiple approaches because I realize I'm not lined up. Pulling grass out of hinges and foam is not my favorite post flight past time.
building and flying are two different things.
YES!
😂😂😂😂 I know there’s lotta pilots the power back too premature. That’s why the airplanes tip stall you got to keep the momentum going don’t throttle back so early and also you gotta be careful don’t fly to slow it’s a right balance in the middle. You have a lot of spirit flying jet. You shouldn’t have this problem and also if you have lotta experience that helps.😂😂😂
Thanks Johann!
I once made the mistake of trying to fly the plane with one hand and hold a camera in the other hand. buried it
HAHA. No kidding!
Dang..
🙌
Very painful to watch lol
😂
Ugh, still hurts to see the Diamond, that plane wasn't that old either. But as usual, we all know they have a built in number of flights, could be 1000+, could be 1, or in case of the mini-Mig, does that even count as 1??? 1/10th maybe????
HAHA. Yea only had like 60 ish flights I think.
*Let the Sunshine in...*
YES!!!
Landing? Flyby got too close.
👍
I've noticed. That many older guys that build beautiful scale aircraft. Are not very good pilots. Not all, but many.
We all have our moments.
What is the fun of a plane that is very difficult to land in one piece?
😂
At least there weren’t any morons blaming the crashes on “tip stalls”.
Lol
"If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing." - Chuck Yeager
These were all good landings haha!
haha. Well Said
You should change the title of this video to R/C Crashes in it.
OK. Why?
@@thelightersideofrc Because, your total could suggest real aircraft crashes.
It’s shocking. Seems like they started flying on the aircraft they are crashing, instead of starting smaller and save some money.
Some yes, most no.
ouch to the wallet
Yes, unfortunatley.
This why I got out of RC planes
🙌
it actually looks like some people flying should not be flying turbines
Always some around that need a bit more pracice!
There away going to be casualties
You got it! If your flying them, they will expire at some point.
2:37 is that a UFO at top right corner of screen?
YES!
@@thelightersideofrc In that case aliens are responsible for the prang..:)
Zoom lens. Love the flights. Can see them
😎
This is why when going flying always make sure you bring along trash bags... I do anyway
HAHA.
What happened to the Diamond? bummer. You rekitted that one. Sorry
I'll keep it simple. The Diamond was the Reason I switched to JETI. Much more to the story but that was the final push.
Why couldn't these people find that BIG-WIDE RUNWAY ?? I'd kill for a paved runway of that size!! Learn these mistakes people, I think all of these could have been prevented.
HAHA. I would love to have a paved runway period! Most of our flying is from grass.
why do they break them. Don't they want them any more ?
HAHA. Probably.
What a stupid thing to do! Flew right into the ground. Scientist😮
I have a feeling it wasn't intentional.
@@thelightersideofrc Sad to see a model crash. Takes an effort to build one!
Every Pilot hate this OMG Moments on the Field and the Blood is cooking 😉
You got that right!
