What happened? It was hard to make out the cause.

The sense of satisfaction building from scratch is very hard to beat…and whilst it flew, it looked beautiful

Beautifull plane !!! I was just thinking wich real plane would be cool to make a rc model and I can't think of something cooler than a u2

Fantastic! The crashes are the best part of this hobby!

Thats what happens when you wear white socks and sandals !

2:52 love that laugh as everyone acknowledges how goofy and difficult this type of radio is to operate and not just totally crash. Very cool buddy boxed reed emulation unit. would love to try one of these and see if I could have flown successfully in this reed era. thanks for posting

beautiful airplanes!

Give that plane a fail

They didn’t name the U2 The Dragon Lady for nothing. Hard to tame, that’s for sure. RC airplanes are like owning a car chasing dog. You don’t want to get too attached to them.

When getting into larger scale models it is worthwhile (and easy) to do a static load test. This model appears to be missing the main spar.

HISTORY REAL 😂😂😂

I am tempted now that you have an electric conversion for the kit. Just need to figure out what goes so this can come in 🙂

Thanks for your video so much Rick

You picked a fine time to leave me loose wing...

Outstanding, I need to build one.

Who had the controller, Gary Powers?

exemplary🙂

Damn, the old wing spar failure routine!

More fibre glass my ass! Flying in open toed sandals is the problem. I ain't never seen no pikters of Humph. Bogart or Kirk Douglas flyin in opn toed sandals. Lovely looking plane though fella. I fly in wellies, I get similar results!

Looks heavy and overpowered.

*Those who fear the Light, are kept in the dark.* "Let the Sunshine In."

I think a Soviet missle hit it.

One of the best planes I have ever owned,with such a light wing loading it would do just about anything you wanted.

Absolutely beautiful model! Looks like it flew really well before the wing let loose.

Francis Gary Powers: yup, pretty much. Although in his defense it's pretty hard to stay aloft after being SAM'd.

Bwhahahahaha 🤣🤣

Ouch... And this is why I don't fly balsa wood planes. It takes the fun out of flying when you can't take any risks because a single crash is complete destruction.

An RC Cuban missile, anyone see it.

Was Gary Powers flying it?

should have used gorilla glue lol.

This plane wasn't on Biden"s list of 16 things that Putin wasn't allowed to sabotage.

Well... at least he got it up for a short while

Unfortunate. Sounded nice in the air too. Must be that long duct.

Ouch!

Now he knows why they were nicknamed the "Dragon Lady".

Just like the real U-2: Not meant to make any dramatic/violent moves.

Try a smaller build next time, that way you can work out the bugs without loosing the bank! Also try to pick a model that was meant to be flown bank and yank, because he wasn't flying the fragile U2 carefully enough!😲😤😝💯

Wing's not supposed to fall off.

Battery disconnected....YUP....😬😳

Shot down by model S-75 Dvina missile?

Well Paul, what do you think now?

The Russians shot it down.

hahahahaha, oh that's a goodie. Had a few disasters similar.

Richard? What did you do?

Sorry for your loss! It appears to have received a momentary "down" command...Do you mind sharing what brand of radio you were using? I'm asking because I've lost 3 airplanes using the same transmitter (with 3 different receivers) to a similar anomaly, and I know I'm not the only guy in the club that's had the problem with that brand of transmitter. I won't name the brand, but they useD to make eXtremely good stuff. Their most recent radio equipment I refuse to fly.

So sad

Heartbreaking !!

Too much of Wing for That much of Thrust - The best of us hv all been here, lookg fwd to his Next Project & Maiden

I see the RH wing made it down just fine....

Bird strike!
