It is surprisingly difficult to get the scale of trees right in comparison to your model if you have not flown a particular site before. Trees come in LOTS of sizes and it's easy to mistake a small one from a bigger one. Years back I shredded a model through a small tree(or so I thought) at a model show and fly-in. It was a lone tree at the edge of the fence line and I was astonished that I'd hit it! When I went to get the bits I was amazed to find that what I thought was about a 10 foot tree at most was more like 20-25! Thankfully only the model was broken, but since then I've never taken trees on field edges for granted and always steered well clear and erred on the side of caution.
Ohhhh! Wow if feel the hurt you see it happening an you can’t look away,and it did look like you were clear of the trees till noop behind! 😢 sorry for your loss hope you can salvage and rebuild her
oh No ! I also accidentally flew once into a tree douring my landing procedure like you. My made of balsa Tigermoth could be recovered by our local fire brigade without any mentioning damage. Sorry for the loss of this beauty!
The greeter at my airfield is a Freewing F-8 that got stuck in the top of a tree when I came in too low like this person did. It's still up there, right above the entrance to the field.
Funny but nobody is talking about the spotter, he was jabbering with another person during a critical part of the flight, why even have a requirement to have one if they aren't doing their job, it's why they are THERE.
Exact same thing happen to me. Difficult to judge the height of the trees and did not realise I was too low closing on the trees. Only diff is that mine was a dynam tigermoth and that I had to grab tons of sticks to recover it
i had this happen to me a great friend hit the same tree and returned with a chain saw i stopped him the tree was always there we had a great laugh he cried and moved on
Took my Draco into the only tree near me.Aprox.25 feet away on short final.I swear someone moved the tree... It stopped 6 feet above the ground,then ever so slowly kissed the grass.Wing is reattached.
Dang trees always reaching out and grabbing airplanes. Looks like a depth perception issue bit him hard. Tough seeing an expensive plane like that destroyed especially after an awesome performance,
That was a very very nice airplane. Superb flight. Feels very bad for the landing but it happens :( @Motion RC: would be really nice to have an 80 or 90mm EDF model of this one in the line-up as an alternative for the L-39.
@@mariorossi7343 indeed. But these larger models have other budget requirements. Regarding the front landing gear on the sebart version: would love it if it were more scale (mounted more forward & folding to the rear) but I guess they had good reason to configure it the way it is now.
It's almost impossible for me to believe a pilot of that skill level could make such a rooking mistake. Maybe the engine quit. . . but the smoke after the crash kind of shoots that theory down. It's hard to watch.
And still the people who are making the laws for 'safe' drone (includes every flying RC craft these days) flying consider LoS to be far more safe than FPV and require to have your plane in sight at all times. Sorry to see this nice plane end up in pieces like this.
Darn shame. So easy to lose situational awareness when your focus is keeping your baby on track. I filtered a couple through the trees and when it happens, it is just a shock.
Nothing wrong with the plane.... the human eyes ability to judge distance however can be questioned.... I have lost several planes due to that phenomenon... To bad to loose a brand new plane...
You always know where you start but in this case the distance from your airplane to the trees is always very difficult to see, and this happens, the best if is nobody hurt, Remi
bud, I think it's time to get some glasses. I fly at a HS soccer field, it's surrounded by 6 light post,4 soccer goals and the approach has fence standing higher than the grass field, yet I manage to stick ever landing. FYI. your spotter are trash, they should have seen the trees before you. Better luck next time.
*Taken down in the prime of its life, thoughts and prayers thoughts and prayers.* *Let the Sunshine in.* *The Sun that Rises everyday...* Dam-it all to hell, someone should saw that tree down and use it for a pig roast barbecue.
That's what happens when you don't pay attention. That's more like a depth-of-field thing or just bad piloting. Did his maneuvers well enough so that's not the problem. I've flown Skymaster jets in the past so there's no excuse outside of something breaking or servo malfunction.
He's hardly a bad pilot. Just depth perception and a new surrounding caught him. The team this plane belonged to were from Italy I believe. Never got a chance to speak with them while there
I agree it probably was a depth perception problem but that's still in the pilot's control somewhat. Everyone else was in the same boat as far as the field surroundings so no excuse there. Is he allowed to have a spotter on the flight line or just him alone? There's a lot of money in flying turbines so I just hate to see that happen.
@@IceMan2035 it was a noon-time demo flight. He flew it the day prior and a few times that morning in competition. Mistakes happen, clearly just misjudged his approach
Great video.. Sorry for the loss... It happens to all of us
Bloody depth of perception, gets us all eventually. Sorry for your loss.

Beautiful flight with a beautiful aeroplane. So sad to see such an end 😢

Lots of us been through this. You'd swear that those trees have grown a couple more feet since the last pass.
yup fully agree with this ..
I like the guy in the back ground saying "I could see that coming for a mile". What a dick thing to say!
Will have been a you tube expert !
Such a beautiful flight, and a wonderful plane,, we have all been there, can't wait to see your next plane!
Sorry for the loss, just crashed mine yesterday, its part of the hobby. It only happens to those of us that fly😅
Such graceful flying! Beautiful flight, tragic ending. So sorry bro.
Gotta keep a little sky between the plane and the treetops until you’re sure you’re inside of them. A larger plane like that can fool you..
Wow, that was a beautiful jet and a nice flight, sorry for your loss.
Rule 1 of RC aircraft. All aircraft have a built in expiration date. The trick is to sell it one flight beforehand.
What a shame!!! Such a beautiful model!!!
I also often get fooled by the sight of trees and in the end the plane is destroyed, keep up the spirit
I’ve had my few shares of trees grabbing my planes 😂
Man what a gorgeous plane. I wish the pilot luck with a speedy rebuild. I clipped tree the other day on a wide open golf course 😮
No one wants to crash and no one wants to miss seeing one!
I’ve been flying for over 20 years and I stuck my first one in a tree a couple of years ago at an unfamiliar field at a fly-in. It happens…
Got you beat! I did the same tree twice! :(
I've hit same tree 3x with same plane at this park and I got mad and chopped it down then hit the tree that was beside it
oh No ! I also accidentally flew once into a tree douring my landing procedure like you. My made of balsa Tigermoth could be recovered by our local fire brigade without any mentioning damage. Sorry for the loss of this beauty!
happens. its a part of this hobby!
I'm really sorry for the loss, great flying anyway.
Awesome flight but yeah depth perception can really get you😮
Watch out Tree there 😂
The greeter at my airfield is a Freewing F-8 that got stuck in the top of a tree when I came in too low like this person did. It's still up there, right above the entrance to the field.
Why did the pilot take off with the under fuselage air brake deployed ?
Them damm magnetic 🌲 trees 🌳 again 😮
That will buff right out👍
Apparently, guy in the crowd could "see that coming from a mile away" :D
A great endorsement for FPV. Yes, I too have done the same thing when flying line of sight.
Funny but nobody is talking about the spotter, he was jabbering with another person during a critical part of the flight, why even have a requirement to have one if they aren't doing their job, it's why they are THERE.
my thoughts exactly, this is the type of crash that beginners make, not turbine pilots

i crashed my Superhornet on the same way....but with full speed into the trees...complete destroyed and the pilot was beheaded
Dang trees always reaching out and grabbing airplanes. Looks like a depth perception issue bit him hard. Tough seeing an expensive plane like that destroyed especially after an awesome performance,
That'll polish out😊

It does exists for turbine or 120 edf. SEBART models

The Florida jets tree killer!
I keep telling folks… trees don’t move very fast. Ouch
I think that's the same tree at my flying field that jumps out in front of my plane!!!😂😂😂
They just jump in front sometimes 😂
Nice field, The Vegetation was not that close! way too low on approach to land.🌴🌴🌳🌳🌵🌵
The tree kept a piece of the right wing as a relic
I coulda swore it was on this side of the trees! Drats!
That's the equivalent of my whole fleet of planes going in at once. Sorry for the pilot's loss.
SAD. 😢 So sorry.
The bright side.....the tree preserved part of your wing.
😂
It's almost impossible for me to believe a pilot of that skill level could make such a rooking mistake. Maybe the engine quit. . . but the smoke after the crash kind of shoots that theory down. It's hard to watch.
The extreme aerobatics disturbed the air flow to the engine, causing it to flame out, apparently.
The dead stick landing ALMOST worked.
Whoops😢

Sad loss for a beautiful model airplane.
Hahaha that has or will happened to all of us.
I parked my a-6 in a tree like that,it definitely hurts but its part of the hobby(unfortunately)
Looks and sounds like the engine quit after the last maneuver and he was lining up for a deadstick landing.
Yes, you don't hear the turbine anymore...
A week later. The tree was gone. O my!
Who is the singer and what has she to do with flying Rc aircraft?
Darn shame. So easy to lose situational awareness when your focus is keeping your baby on track. I filtered a couple through the trees and when it happens, it is just a shock.
Great shame. At a comp of this scale with models like this I think someone on the tree line with a flag is waved once over the boundary might help?
So sorry ,It happens to all pilots Rc ,this is our Hobby ,it's lovely, but it's expensive! we should accepted.
damn Ents
Why did it take off with the airbrake deployed? 🤔🙄
Never trust a guy that has to look down at his radio to flip a switch.
M339 0 -. Tree 1. To bad for the pilot but great for a MRC Video. Jeff in LA USA
Nothing wrong with the plane.... the human eyes ability to judge distance however can be questioned.... I have lost several planes due to that phenomenon... To bad to loose a brand new plane...
Damn that sucks.
Why did the pilot of this model take off with the under fuselage air brake open ???
Another pilot error!!
I can't speak for the pilot. But this was a noontime demo flight and I believe they were just showing how this large aircraft can take off so slowly
So a nice airplane, but shit happens, I have also the same in the past, this is our hobby, greetings from Remi from Belgium
You always know where you start but in this case the distance from your airplane to the trees is always very difficult to see, and this happens, the best if is nobody hurt, Remi
How sad was that?
Wake me up when it breaks 50 mph or crashes 💤💤😴😑
Damn! Only part of the hobby I hate!!! I feel gutted even if a crash a foamy. I would’ve fainted if I crashed a turbine. Terrible loss.
Depth perception off just a tad. I bet he won't make that mistake again in the future!!
Just like the real planes, they couldn't stay in the air either.
About 5 k 😡
Depth perception is a bitch sometimes.

que triste ver caer tu avion . a cualquiera le pasa ese accidente de distancia engañadora .
That's sad, shit. Always that ... trees.
Depth perception failure!
Always these trees - why do they have to be so close to the slope? 🤔
arrrgh!! tHE JET EATING TREES!!
THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! lol
Sucks man. Funny to hear the chatter in the background though
Too Bad…..
*Taken down in the prime of its life, thoughts and prayers thoughts and prayers.*
*Let the Sunshine in.*
*The Sun that Rises everyday...*
Dam-it all to hell, someone should saw that tree down and use it for a pig roast barbecue.
That is the sucky side of the hobby.
Pilot error! So easy to happen, loss of special awareness. Sad
Can’t see how you think it’s funny jagitmax . Maybe. You will get a bigger laugh when you smash your car up

Sure is an excuse. New field. Most mortals have issues flying at new locations. Perhaps you are not mortal.
@@IceMan2035 it was a noon-time demo flight. He flew it the day prior and a few times that morning in competition. Mistakes happen, clearly just misjudged his approach
I agree it was a mistake and I'll leave it that.
If you can afford the wee gas turbine engine, then you can afford to find and use a BIG ASS FLYING FIELD WITH NO TREES.
Just sayin'.
This was at Top Gun. The premiere large scale flying competition. Those trees are deep, pilot just misjudged
@@MotionRC That' still an awful lot of bread to flush down the can!
Classic rookie pilot error
How hilarious, that's the funniest thing ever, so glad to see it crash, please do another one.
Schön geflogen aber leider beim Anflug verschätzt. Kann jedem mal passieren denn wir Modellflieger sitzen ja nun mal nicht drin.👍
Instances like this, I think FPV pilot has much better situational awareness to avoid the trees, especially at unfamiliar field.
