Things I've learned over the years in rc flight... 1. That tree is closer than you think. 2. Low inverted fly bys sometimes become lower inverted landings. 3. Always take one more flight before leaving but never take your LAST flight. 4. Never put anything up in the air you are not prepared to take home in a garbage bag. 5. Working late at night on planes often leads to useless upgrades (see garbage bag note). 6. Your enjoyment of flying often last longer than your fuel in the tank. 7. The rudder is not just for ground control. 8. The cg in the manual should be scrutinized. 9. When a screw falls out of the carb and lets air pour in you get the most thrilling 10 minute flight. 10. If you have automatic seatbelts (it used to be a thing) don't put your quarter scale wing in the front seat.
Anyone know what the guy says around 5:10? Sounds like “poke a dile”? Random I know, but my toddler loves watching these and has been repeating that word/phrase but we can’t figure out what the guy actually says. 😂
"Walking out". Good practice to inform everyone else on the flightline because they might do low passes with their RC aeroplanes and risk hitting him otherwise.
Beautiful models, awesome flight characteristics!! Easy to see why builders of these planes risk the "odd mishap" upon landing! "No Guts, No Glory" must be the watch word for the RC flyer of these big bucks models!! Loved the bombing run, would have liked to see that in person; and the poor "toasted" models, caught by the flames, was sweet!!
Something oddly humorous about watching a group unload 10k worth of RC flight gear just to lift off and nose dive it into the ground, then pack it all back up and drive off. All inside of 20 mins. lol Pro tip: Bouncing planes off the deck is a sure fire way to remove your landing gear thus essentially screwing yourself. Gliding in under minimal power with the nose slightly up and putting her gently on the deck results in another flight later that day. Just in case as apparently 90% of the ppl in these videos look like they are landing bricks instead of planes.
@@potatosuc4950 Right, he, Eduardo Padilla, should have someone tie his hands behind his back then have that guy push him forward so he lands face first on grass, then do the same on asphalt. Then he may have some empirical "personal data" to make his assessment of which surface is "friendly", to RC planes, and other delicate creatures, and which is not! :D
All these plains are beautiful but can't help to wonder why the landing gear on them don't have some form of shock absorbers on them to cut down on them bouncing out of control?
@@sneeakysteve No prob. Watch the majority of these crashes on landing and they are often caused by trying to land with elevator. As in full scale, you fly to the ground, not float to the ground.
off topic... that ad..... "We were going to a different church every Sunday... the kids were starting to get confused" no bloody wonder there................... b.o.t. nice video!!!
I had a thought that might be useful to someone. The tail draggers in particular easily end up on their noses when landing. An elastic powered device in the fuselage that would propel a trim weight into the rear at the touch of a button would get the tail down where it's wanted at the crucial moment. It would need to be easily resettable of course. TBP..
And hard to accidentally set off in flight... :P that would look hilarious. And expensive! But it's an interesting idea. Glider pilots have done interesting stuff like having their battery on a little tray that moves back and forth on a worm screw, as I gather gliders often need to shift their CG for optimal performance in different stages of flight. So that idea could probably be refined further.
Changing the center of gravity rearward like you suggest would make the mains bounce more easily. When landing tail draggers putting them gently on the main wheels while holding a slight nose up angle of attack works the best. Basically there's a sweet spot in the decent rate and ground speed that needs practice to achieve consistently.
@@rcbinchicken the reason gliders do that is to penetrate the wind better or be more floaty. in the case of an rc glider you would get better help in landing to have spoilers and flaps to slow down and kill your lift while holding your nose level.
@@Chooie6 Yes, the shifting weight won;t work (or it'd be used in real a/c already) tail goes down > AoA abruptly increases > more lift produced > mains bounce
@ 11:54 watch the white plane center screen it flies right thru the fireball and the wings catch fire then comes out @ 12:00 in TOTAL flames to wreak in the grass.
One would think when your flying a Big bird like the English Jet bomber and you get a flame out you would set her down in such a way you end up either real close to your emergency equipment or at least not at the opposite end of the field ..this way any fire still burning can be addressed speedily ...
Not really. He put it down asap, while still heading into the wind. You want to get it down on the ground fast, regardless of where it is, rather than having to do a half loop in the air just to come to a stop closer to yourself on the ground, which could result in whatever fire there is, taking out the rest of your engines or your flight controls and you lose the entire aircraft.
I'm looking to get into RC (yikes). Three things I am seeing in all these crash videos... 1. A lot of situations could be less tragic if they shut off power rather than trying to hopelessly recover (often at high/max throttle). Does the operator normally have a kill switch for these planes? Adding power to a crashing vehicle is usually not a good idea. Cut the power man. 2. If a takeoff/landing is going wrong, the operator should abort and try again later. Seems like they double-down on takeoffs/landings that are clearly going bad, rather than pulling out or taking a second pass. If something is going wrong, stop and don't keep going. 3. What is up with landing gear that is too weak or doesn't work? I'm a pre-newbie, but it seems that 90% of these crashes fall under one of these three categories.
6:36 @@potatosuc4950 , though rustie, they should share with everyone else who makes their retracts! a good proportion of crashes and bad landings seem to be due to shitty retracts
I love watching these videos but I always feel sorry for the people who try to land properly,all for it to go wrong, but for the ones who can take of and fly the aircraft but don’t have the skill or just plain stupid I can’t feel sorry for.

Great videos Dom. I have to many crashes to count. I feel bad for these folks, but like you said it is inevitable.
Me and you both buddy! Have an awesome weekend. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
@@EssentialRC what happens when flames come out of the exhaust of hey engine??
@@simmyabis7330 it's called a flame out, basically loss of thrust and possibly fire
Al lot of these planes are so beautiful

Vulcan,the best flight ever.
By far!!!

fly on the weekend, rebuild during the week..
Taking off and landing on grass is harsh. Brave souls!
Please tell me which type of motor you are using.... Plz tell me eny one...
MOKI radial engine
Well I Know Its MOKI Radial Engine
a lot of these ppl would do well to learn what accelerated stalls are, particularly the guy at @ 4:55
Was thinking exactly the same ... Anyone has heard of load factor...?
Suprised to see no ones put a Go-Pro on these rigs
We have done but GoPro only gives a fixed view. I tend to use 360 panoramic cameras. Here's an example th-cam.com/video/wxNbG6ATg1E/w-d-xo.html
Is grass the best place to take off and land an RC airplane?! Idont think so!!
Actually, well maintained grass is just as good as tarmac.
grass isnt worse than tarmac

@6:36-7:16 the Indestructible Jump Jet
Do you have rc ships in your store?
Rule number 1...land with the throttle, not the elevator 😉
I'm trying to build a couple rc planes this summer and I'll remember this comment, thank you for the tip
@@sneeakysteve No prob. Watch the majority of these crashes on landing and they are often caused by trying to land with elevator.

A lot of these guys are better at building these things than flying them.
100000 times replay wtf ^^
Agree, it's a dang TH-camvideo, we can rerun it as many times as we like. And run it slow.
What is it with Ferrari jets and crashing?
That afterburner.... intentional or not was really cool!!!
Nice to see 10 mins of flight and 2.33 minutes of crashing! Not really, i cam for the crashes!
The one that went up in flames! To bad it wasn't in a Indiana Jones movie! Hats off!
off topic...

3:24 that plane is lucky it doesn't have a real armourment
You mean armament?
@5.18. that's what happens when you fly at non scale speeds

Shame. That dood was killing it until the wind literally smacked his plane out of the air. 4:57
Pilot looked at passing car and got distracted, that's the reason I got when this vid came out

459 the cause of the airplane crash was because of that goddamn driver driving where he was not supposed to go and it distracted the pilot
Is that supposed to be a napalm strike at the end?
jika d sambar petir semua tu pesawat itu rame banget ,tiap kali main hancur semua.
So many "hot shot" pilots with great planes who can hardly fly or land.......
