Sorry you had to lose the plane but this video is by far one of the best FPV flights I have ever seen, in so many ways, its an archive of incredible flight data, great skills and setup/programming.
Gutted for you buddy.. The W Crash Investigation team will have to evaluate those footage and determine who was at fault. Definitely not Rufus. See you soon. 🍰🍻😎
This is the coolest and best FPV video I have seen on a jet. Great flying sorry for your loss. I've been flying 15 plus years now and have lost many planes for numerous reason. I was doing a dog fight with a my Corsair vs a zero with 4 feet of string and 10 feet of cray paper we had a mid air collision. I hit his wing head on and split his plane in two and it only Jared my wing loose and I landed safely this was well before FPV.That is just the risk we take when we fly. Best of luck of your future rc endeavors from one pilot to another
My condolences for your lost!! hopefully the equipment would have survive and can be reuse in a new model... However, I have to congratulate the pilot of the Yak... he had the audacity to literally go all in full throat and manage to recover the aircraft...
Amazing footage but definitely a sad aftertaste. Still a incredible documentation of the flight. Also, do you know anything regarding RCGauges being offline? I'm really hoping to get a couple if those gauges but their website is down. Thanks for sharing, Capt'n!
Yak-adoodle-dandy. Always a bummer when one makes it and the other doesn't. It sort of looked like the others fault depending on which sip you were riding in. So no-one's fault really. Racing incident kinda thing. Hope you can both look at it objectively and stay friends. These things happen in this hobby, sooner or later. Or it does if you have FUN and not just fly around in circles on your own. Don't let the fun police get Ya. Chin up.
Sorry about the crash, good job on the OLED display though, hope you can get the flickering issue sorted out! As for formation flying, there are techniques and rules to follow to minimize the chance of this... one has to prepare for this type of flights, set-up the jets accordingly, train on sims, talk with the flight buddy to coordinate. It's happened to me as well. You need to train properly or this ensues! Most important of all, one has to fly as straight as possible and learn to keep his side on the formation (not crossing from left to right). When a collision course is detected, one must break away immediately. If you want to give it another shot, let me know and I can give a few other tips. :) Again, my condolences. :'(
Hey Mate! I completely agree! Actually, we had not planned at all to fly in formation... It was not in the day's objective... We just ended up with those late notice bright ideas you know "What if we do a formation?!"... Not proper planning, briefing, preparation and so on... Not that it would change the results thou lol We keep the rates always on 100%, this is the first thing I would change, second: fly straight as you said, gentle turns, use ground references, communicate, use similar planes (speed wise) and so on...
Sorry for your loss! But that was an epic mid-air collision, well documented from multiple angles. Awesome dynamic tagging of lead aircraft. Looks just like a video game/simulation. Which editing software do you use to track the target?
It would be incredibly difficult to add an acceptable size parachute to such a plane. The mechanism for deployment in itself would be a challenge, not to mention the dead weight. Midair collisions are semi common, but not to the point that adding a parachute and bulky deployment mechanism would be worth it.
100th like. That Yak sure handled the midair “tap” pretty well. What happened to your L-39, did the battery come unplugged? If so, that’s pretty surprising, because that was a fairly gentle midair collision. It seemed gentle enough that no paint was scraped, and no foam was damaged in the midair.
This is just amazing. Great respect for your work. After watching your video I am also interested in buying a fpv head tracking setup. But I see the trinity external head tracker is not available anymore. Do you have an idea why they are not for sale anymore and are there good alternatives? (I would also use the DJI FPV air unit)

Why did you loose control when the Yak Pilot did not? Was there loss of any Air Frame parts before Ground Impact?OH where is that Wonderful Abandon Airfield Located PLZ. Love your Videos.
The Yak can handle lower speed than the L39. All was quite fast also. Took few time to understand what was going on, I didn't manage to gain enough airspeed.
Hmm so the Yak pilot is looking left at you inbound then pulls a hard left into your flight path .. Where there's blame theres a claim Lol . Just stirring the pot a little G hahaha Gutted for you buddy , i know you put some hours into that Bird. see ya soon
Not fair your friend with the yakbis the one who cut your way and it's the one which continue flying. Usually USSR planes flying sell with tape, but that's yours which need some glue and tape. Please come to my workbench to repair it, I'll help you in my nice piece of Frebch campaign and we will discuss around fpv 😇👍

Thank you buddy. Yeah, we put ourselves in those situations, sometimes it goes wrong... Thank you!
No real American planes were injured in the filming of this video. :)
Awwwww man that sucks bad. Sorry for the loss dude. You’ve done some epic FPV with these jets. Hope your back up in the air soon Fella. 🤛🤞
Yeah mate, painful but is what you get when you get some risks.
My condolences for your lost!! hopefully the equipment would have survive and can be reuse in a new model... However, I have to congratulate the pilot of the Yak... he had the audacity to literally go all in full throat and manage to recover the aircraft...
Fantastic. Not sure who was trying to kill who, but highly entertaining.

At leas i have the clips... lose a plane and cannot share it would be much worst! I am using Premiere Pro mate
There it is again. It was about time for Adam to meet the troubled Eve.
Of course we want to see the RC mid-air collision but it is such a heartbreak that these two beautiful models were badly damaged.
After accident YAK-130 paint the star on the board for the first strike =)
That's so sad :( Beautiful footage from on board camera until that crash. Btw Where is this abandoned field?
Why was that unrecoverable? Altitude? One untangled it seemed both planes could recover and one did. Nice plane though...
Looks like you need to do a FODwalk ! Lol. Pretty cool! Sorry about the plane… 👍🙋♂️🖖🏻🤬
It's like in reality, everything is perfect and one second later everything is gone...edf jet be like 😁👍
On L39 front wheel was out.
Fortunately, theres no explosion like in full scale flying!
Aww man. what fpv setup did you have?
That is Rc
why did he say fatal?????
So sorry you lost your work. Your work is so cool! I'd love to learn how to do this. Can you add a parachute in case this happens again?

Midair collisions are semi common, but not to the point that adding a parachute and bulky deployment mechanism would be worth it.
Can you get these displays for a 70mm f16 and what information do they show ??
hello mate. The display i am using in this jet would fit well in the 70mm F16... I shows the Artificial Horizon, Speed and Altitude. rcgauges.com
