absolutly superbe video, we observe one minute of silence for all plane in this video, it's price to make mostly best fpv video in community and amazed it. thank's for share this experience
All the crashes show explain how your videos are the most spectacular out there. Have to take risks, right? Your location is amazing, and it looks like you keep pushing it to bring us crazy-good content. Well done. Looking forward to your end-of-year compilation, as always.
Jeg trodde jeg var mester i havarier, men disse var imponerende. Gratulerer.I fancied myself as a wrecking champ, but these unscheduled landings are spectacular. Respect.
Some of them I remember, but had no idea you had so many. What it shows is the dedication and patience required to get that special little piece of footage....The fish drying tunnel in particular.....Still my fave FPV Channel....:)
Awesome vid! Your final edited vids make things look so easy, this brings the reality into the picture. You seem to have a lot of hardware failures though? A lot of instances where it just noses down or rolls over and dives into the ground for apparently no reason. Hardware failures? Why? Because of the extreme temperatures you fly in? Keep up the good work though, your fpv vids are by far the best!
Thanks. There is a list of causes and excuses for the crashes in the description. Sometimes the equipment fail, but usually it is my own fault when crashing.
EPIC video. You should do a vlog/tutorial on your different methods for recovering downed equipment. With long range starting to become popular again, there is a lot of people in the community that don't have a clue on how to set up a rig to make it findable, as well as all the planning that goes into going out and getting something on a mountain.
Hey, great Video love all your compilations by the way ;) How about a compilation of recovering all the crashed models, especially in the Mounains ? ;) Cheers
Thanks :D 05:01 Had climber go look for the DJI F550, but all they found was broken props and a motor :( 05:47 is still up there. The location is 6-7 hours away from home and there was no time for a serious rescue mission. 06:16 Is also not recovered yet. This is close to my home so I plan to go get it soon ( just 5 months since I crashed it!)
Epic! Looks like a lot of servo failure and failsafes! More like fail-unsafe amirite? I think if I crashed this much I would have quit a long time ago haha.
What happens at those crazy (random) spins? Like one 0:41. And what was the main cause for smashing into the ground, although it looked like it could have been saved?
At 0:41 the X8 started to flutter and threw the battery out. It fell straigth down so I knew exactly where to find it :) If you look at the footage in slowmo you can se the battery on the outside of the plane!
knowing what it takes to get an FPV plane to fly, I didn´t enjoy this video at all... :( I kept saying "no no noooo!!!" on every crash!.... Thanks for posting!!!!
And here I am planning on grabbing a Flite Test Spear, a couple of Cox 0.049 engines, and some FPV Gear. I'm loving surface FPV, don't care for drones, want to fly, can't afford to wreck my NexSTAR. Gonna be fun! And yes I am nitro powering a FT Spear. Not enough nitro FPV on youtube.
Very often when watching the video of you flying under the excavator on the barge I wonder what would happen if you were to hit it, hopefully it looks like it never has been the case. Just recently I was experimenting with a custom wing I built and one control linkage flew off in flight, was a easy fix. At least it's a very hard one to stall, looks like you have a few issues with that.
Haha. It is amazing that I still have that plane. Think it is starring in this video at least 10 times (CTH Gladiator XL) Same plane also suffered from a bad control link at 03:12
I think there’s two videos of that quadcopter hitting that white and red flying wing, either they’re doing it on purpose or that quad guy need some more practice alone...
5:01 dji naza drone but the error is the pilot because he putted the drone at attitude mode (Non-GPS) when the drone can use the GPS witch 10 satellittes and don't crash witch him obstacle in the screen can you see "ATT" well, ATT is atitude mode (Non-GPS)
Man o Man my wallet hurts just watching this! Great video I was wondering if any of you knew any of the names of some of the flying wings in the video. I'm looking into wings at the moment and having trouble settling on one. None the less great vid!!
Thanks. If I`m lucky the ad revenue will cover a tube of Gorillaglue and some glass fiber tape! I recomend the wings from www.crahtesthobby.com You have to put some effort into building them, but then again they will survive whatever you throw at them. The main star in this video is a CTH Gladiator XL, It has lasted for 5 years and 20-30 crashes. The CTH Vertigo had been crashed 10+ times in the A-frames without injuries to the airframe itself...
Hi. Sorry for my late reply. Lost 3 planes and 2 multicopters over the years. Most of them could have been retrieved, but It could have taken many days with risking my life up in the mountains. Next hobby will be rock climbing ;)
absolutly superbe video, we observe one minute of silence for all plane in this video, it's price to make mostly best fpv video in community and amazed it.
thank's for share this experience
Haha. Thanks mate. There has been lots of tears and silence for these planes
I now click 'like' on your videos before I watch them. And I'm never disappointed.
A huge thank you for showing us your crashs, sometimes we feel so alone with our own crashs, I feel more confortable now to buy more foam and glues :D
skygreg74 I was thinking exactly the same thing 😉
Same here, it motivated me a lot watching it. Even the best have crashes, it's part of the hobby and totally worth it... thanks for sharing!

I appreciate you saying that :D
I have to keep upping the ante.
Winter darkness is upon us so that means rebuilding and editing time
Jeg trodde jeg var mester i havarier, men disse var imponerende. Gratulerer.I fancied myself as a wrecking champ, but these unscheduled landings are spectacular. Respect.
Haha. What a nice way to put it
Some of them I remember, but had no idea you had so many. What it shows is the dedication and patience required to get that special little piece of footage....The fish drying tunnel in particular.....Still my fave FPV Channel....:)
Thanks mate. Loyal fans as yourself is what keeps me going :D
Wow, didn't imagine you had this many crashes. Props man!
More to come ;)
You have some serious patience to keep at it. Well done.
My crash to flight ratio has only gotten worse over the years....
Those poor right wings. Lots of hits on that side. Sweet video, some of the big mountain recoveries looked daunting.
There is a couple of planes still out there :(
Impressive collection of crashes, well edited once again raising the bar for us all. Happy new year!
Thanks. Crashing is the easy part ;) Happy new year to you too.

Amazing, let's see some pictures of the wreckage!
EPIC video. You should do a vlog/tutorial on your different methods for recovering downed equipment.

you have more crashes than my flights (all summed up) during last year :)
Congratulation man! Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Apart from the obvious collisions are the rest failsafe or servo failure?
Thanks. There is only one failsafe, a couple of low batt incidents, mechanical failure and many brain farts....
Nice one. It's good to see what has gone into making your other videos. Lots of persistence and many repairs!
Hey, great Video love all your compilations by the way ;) How about a compilation of recovering all the crashed models, especially in the Mounains ? ;)
Cheers
Thanks. Good idea. I will try to document my future crashes and rescues better ;)
Nice compilation ! This is the cost in time and in money of our passion
Sometimes we have accidents that we do not know how we got there, seeing this encourages me to fly much more ..
very good video
Nice compilation, I m sure you are not afraid anymore to crash a plane !
Thank you. No biggie when below 500m ASL. Heartbeat still races on higher mountains or over water
Was I the only one thinking to myself at 10mins in....."Stay on target.........stay on target!!" :P
Amazing video man,loved it. How many planes were unrecoverable?
Thanks :D
05:01 Had climber go look for the DJI F550, but all they found was broken props and a motor :(

WOW freakin awesome crash compilation video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks. My pleasure sharing, but it hurts to watch
A whole new level of crash build repeat 😂
A crash fest & a half right there! Good going. Keep it up!
You must be one fit lad with all those retrieves.
Haha. I wish!

Any fpv fail videos without the music?????
It's a good thing you like hiking, right? I love the shot with the two planes caught on that same bush.. that's consistency!
Actually I don`t. If so I would have taken even more risks on the mountain dives....
Hehehe.. I was being a bit ironic. I like hiking, but not that much. Not enough to go retrieve my drone lost at the top of a 1500m mountain.
knowing what it takes to get an FPV plane to fly, I didn´t enjoy this video at all... :( I kept saying "no no noooo!!!" on every crash!.... Thanks for posting!!!!
Are so you are a mere mortal like the rest of us.
Haha! Not even my planes is immortal.
Tape and glue is my secret elixir 😎
And here I am planning on grabbing a Flite Test Spear, a couple of Cox 0.049 engines, and some FPV Gear. I'm loving surface FPV, don't care for drones, want to fly, can't afford to wreck my NexSTAR.
Gonna be fun!
And yes I am nitro powering a FT Spear. Not enough nitro FPV on youtube.
... isn't it always the way ?
Like Harry "Dirty" Callaghan said : " A man should know his limitations" ...

Same plane also suffered from a bad control link at 03:12
Awesome man!
I think there’s two videos of that quadcopter hitting that white and red flying wing, either they’re doing it on purpose or that quad guy need some more practice alone...
5:01 dji naza drone but the error is the pilot because he putted the drone at attitude mode (Non-GPS) when the drone can use the GPS witch 10 satellittes and don't crash witch him obstacle
in the screen can you see "ATT" well, ATT is atitude mode (Non-GPS)
9:11 is not a phantom 2??
Looks like a lot of failsaves. Doesn't really put Dragonlink into a good light...
lol thats all I was wondering too. Are you flying behind terrain...all the time...? lol
looks like more servo failures I'd say
Here is lots of pilot error. badly tuned autopilots, broken servo/link/hinge, low battery etc.
The only failsafe is at 02:50
Man o Man my wallet hurts just watching this! Great video I was wondering if any of you knew any of the names of some of the flying wings in the video. I'm looking into wings at the moment and having trouble settling on one. None the less great vid!!
Thanks.
If I`m lucky the ad revenue will cover a tube of Gorillaglue and some glass fiber tape!
I recomend the wings from www.crahtesthobby.com
You have to put some effort into building them, but then again they will survive whatever you throw at them.
The main star in this video is a CTH Gladiator XL, It has lasted for 5 years and 20-30 crashes.
The CTH Vertigo had been crashed 10+ times in the A-frames without injuries to the airframe itself...
Cheers! Thanks for the suggestions I wish you the best in rebuilding!
I knew that plane was gonna crash in the water
Many aircraft and cameras and batteries were harmed in the making of this video. LOL.
Just one question.
How many of them were unrecoverable?
Excellent view of...Reality..lol..:)
Mange fine fjellturer for å hente hjem utstyr her! Hvem sier at RC ikke er fysisk?!
Ha, that was exciting!
5:50 other dji drone
As always....using the mouth for throttle is low...and will be crashed....
6:44 I almost cried
Beautiful place to crash!
is it alwais the same "pilot" ? lol
all cheap paper plane crashes
Only downside to the hobby. Losing and breaking expensive shit.
How many planes do you still have lying around in the mountains?
Hi. Sorry for my late reply.
Lost 3 planes and 2 multicopters over the years.
Most of them could have been retrieved, but It could have taken many days with risking my life up in the mountains.
Next hobby will be rock climbing ;)
