At the end of the day, that's a lot of flights and a very low percentage of crashes. Especially considering the tight spaces where you seem to fly most of the time. Thank you for the content!
Great video and statistics. If you aren’t crashing you aren’t flying. I am a big suck and only fly in safe. Having said that, I have only really crashed once when I thought I was in safe, but wasn’t. Rookie mistake. I also fly nice and high and avoid touch and goes. I know, boring, but in my stage of life (66 years old) it is more important for me to come home with my planes in one piece. I have been only flying for 4 years and was self taught. Oh yes, I did lose signal once and my plane flew away. Thanks to a wonderful rc plane company, we worked things out and they replaced that plane for me. I was very fortunate that this wonderful company did this for me. Have you or any of your subscribers ever lost a plane due to signal loss?
I am also 66 and agree with bringing the plane home is important. I do fly all lot of the time in AS3X but also use SAFE if anything feels wrong. A fun hobby but can get expensive if you just crash all the time.
I’m surprised you have had multiple crashes with your UMX PT-17. That is such a wonderful and easy to fly little plane. The only time I have crashed mine (so far) is when my son flew another plane into it mid air taking one wing off and sending them both spiraling into the ground. But a little tape had it right back up in no time! Really hope Horizon Hobby rerelease that one someday!
Very interesting stats. I wonder if they're evenly distributed across your RC flying time/experience (I would guess not.)? Perhaps flying into things happens most the first year of flying but much less so after no longer being a beginning pilot? Stuff like that would be interesting and useful to know.
Wow you have kept quite a diary of your combined flights. Thats a good thing cause we all learn more from our mistakes and what it the actual cause of the crash?
@@SunriseRCAviator Taking Risk will eventually make you a better pilot in the end cause at least we can study what went wrong and attempt to avoid it next time

Thanks for commenting!
This gives us mere mortals a modicum of hope!
This is probably your best video! Great!
@@quilong Thanks!

@@davegedeon3767 Thanks! I had a plane that took off and never was seen again.
I had a plane that landed and was never seen again. A combine got it!
Yes, a combine would do it. Thats a new one to me. There might be foam and a lipo battery mixed in with your cereal. lol.

I am glad to hear of another RC pilot that flies in safe too. I agree, bringing your planes home is real important.
Man your ability to log and provide such accurate stats is amazing! Very interesting.
@@ModelAV8RChannel A lot of work but also interesting in the end!
Good video 40 years into this hobby seen everything you showed and 95% have been me miss judging the flight landing and take offs😭😊😊
Thanks! Without crashes this hobby wouldn't have been as exciting. No risk no reward right :)
@@SunriseRCAviator so true and makes me want to see what I did wrong to make me a better builder and flyer have a great week

@@markduckworth5579 Smaller planes crash more but with less damage is my experience.

@@BillKisel Crashes do spread out more over time but I still do som mistakes 😎
@@SunriseRCAviator Don't we all? 😞😊

Greatest lesson is to be less stupid when I fly :)

It looks like most of your crashes are actually due to stalling
Lots of them!
@@SunriseRCAviator Therefore you fly in very close quaters most of the time which is a skill itself!
