Huge RC Helicopter crashed

[@jamiecole2096]

Maybe learn to fly a much cheaper helicopter first?

[@edmartinelli]

Ummmmm....Yessss...exactly.

[@johnkerr4645]

Good suggestion, looked like he had all the gear but no idea!

[@JoseMunoz-gg2cn]

The fact that you have the money to buy it...dont mean that you KNOW HOW TO FLY IT!
As an avid rc modeler pilot / instructor im sure this guy knows NOTHING about rc HELICOPTERS.

@@joewilson9744 not at all, I've been flying RC helicopters for almost 30 years now an although it does require a bit of dedication anyone can fly it, but it is not like a drone, of course.

[@RCCopterLove]

When I saw the first shaky attempt to lift this great machine up I thought "ooops". It's sad that this nice turbine model was destroyed in such a brutal way. Sorry for the Pilot! Maybe it would be a good plan to train first on the simulator and then on a small but strudy model like the OMPHOBBY M2 EVO. I hope the Pilot does not loose his interest in helis.

[@dangrchobby6263]

Thanks

[@b1657568]

It was an actual crash scene. You would think that he would have started with a toy first. That was not a toy.

[@dangrchobby6263]

"Although it(The helicopter) crashed I loved your work. The item was very detailed and well put together. This was an A+ (plus) job. You are very good builders. You are number one in my book. "👍

[@joewilson9744]

Sorry for your experience! They can be very difficult to fly. As someone else stated, get plenty of time on a simulator first. A lot of it is muscle memory. Practice, practice, practice. A crash on a simulator is much cheaper than a real one. Don't give up! Some of the most difficult skills offer the greatest rewards. At least you had the fortitude to show what can happen. For that, I salute you!

[@keyboard5494]

Could you recommend a good RC simulator for Apple computers? Thanks.

[@kenleung1124]

Looked tail heavy. Boom hit the ground at one point. Then pilot tried to compensate with heavy nose down.

[@DavidAshcroft-eu7de]

They got more money than sense.

[@urbanfox53]

Hardly huge, there are much larger Rc helis. She was badly out of trim which caused the crash, also pilot inexperience.

[@dangrchobby6263]

Yes sir 👍

[@steffenholzt7364]

It's called dynamic rollover, look it up on UA-cam. Once you have reached the critical angle, it's not recoverable. Only way was collective full down as soon as it dug in on one side....

[@dangrchobby6263]

Yes sir, much appreciated your comment.

In order to be a "crash" the helicopter first must actually fly, this did not leave the ground.. so it cannot be called a crash.

OUCH, that was painful to watch! 😢 Which flight controller (FBL) are you using?

[@places2visit]

*Rest in Peace to all those soldiers, they shall be dearly remembered for their service...*

[@krtex56]

Should have kept it on the shelf for looks.

[@SuperVideoCity]

The build is eventually questionnable, e.g., servos cables should be flex, not tight and straight line to the Bavarian Axon (see at 5'54). As recommended by the manufacturer, see page 4 of Axon user manual, section "Use the supplied mounting tape". Note Axon is top class device anyway. I'm not saying its the main cause of the crash but may have eventually contributed (this is a 1:6 scale kit to be fully assembled by heli expert, here using an expensive Jakadowski turbine).

Two words...flight controller!

[@redguard2946]

LOL That’s not a crash.
That’s a poor attempt at something vaguely resembling a take-off.

[@stevedavies-pp7dp]

I feel his pain however that was pilot error plain n simple

[@toadiscoil]

I am not sure the pilot was bad. I think he should have stopped trying to get it off the ground and get it back on the bench when he started having problems. Looks like either an issue with vibrations (it seemed to me like the tail was vibrating a lot) or with Center of Gravity. Either way sad ending for so many hours putting together such a detailed model.

[@dangrchobby6263]

I was destroyed due to wrong set up 😢

[@wingtipsworld5909]

This is why you always test fly the mechanics before installing them into a scale fuse. Couldn’t tell if he had one of the gyros reversed or if he was literally a newbie.
Very sad to see so much work and money just get wasted in an instant.

[@dangrchobby6263]

Thanks

[@davidcaro8217]

Oh man, too bad! Rebuild it if even possible, then add a gyro for better stability.

[@JimL-gh6mu]

You can clearly see the heli is not even trimmed out the right way. He is trying to take off and the heli is all over the place. He has no clue what he is doing.

[@ripmax333]

Not even a Take off, I looks more an Auto disdruction than a Crash.

[@mrerick0363652]

😂😂😂 looks like a real accident

[@peterlaw.]

What a waste through no experience !😮

[@MrRaymond1021]

I've honestly thought he was going to hit a tree, or something, but that's not cool. You need to learn with the smaller cheaper ones first.
Evan if the pilot has the money to throw away, that's not good.

[@mediumrare9051]

the pilot in the copter tried to take over the controls.

At the moment it seemed tail heavy, a shut down and weight and balance check is needed.

He was determined to crash it. Obvious wasn't set up right. With the amount of work and $$$$ involved he shouldn't have been so anxious. The first attempt to lift off was obvious it needed better setup

[@dangrchobby6263]

Thanks

[@kevinwaterman389]

Not really a crash landing when the helicopter never really left the ground before flipping on its side! This definitely was pilot error.

[@dangrchobby6263]

Was is pilot error or mechanical? Head speed, CG, pitch??

As a new poser to the hobby, my sentiments. Though as I suspected for myself, i enjoy building and repairing my planes, even more than I do flying them, that is at this point in my hobby experience.

If you are going to fly a turbine, you DON'T do it at what looks to be a public park and you sure has hell need to know how to fly.

Really, you can't even lift off in a hover and you want to fly that beautiful scale heli? come on man.

What is the reason for crash ? Gyro direction setting or other setting issues ?

[@dangrchobby6263]

I thinks other setting is wrong 😢

[@P222RL]

@@dangrchobby6263 may I know what setting ? Helicopter is way safe than plane, we can make sure all settings are correct before lift off

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

Too bad but looks fixable. Looked like the CG was off. The takeoff with the boom strike should have been the hint to stop and check everything a few times before flying again.

[@maxun1]

People with money and not brains, you let the best pilot tested first. Plus you flight the heli before you do all that detail and work, make sure the heli is reliable.

[@1eightrcracing]

Better you than me

[@DESTINYFPV]

Maybe you should actually learn how to fly a helicopter before building a turbine powered helicopter and trying to fly for the first time because this is what will happen every single time.

[@davidhollfelder9940]

Oof. He needs to practice/train with a smaller (less expensive) heli with training gear attached, and have an experienced pilot to guide him.

[@ronbrown5430]

That's sad I know that they put a lot of time making it look scale and yeah I least learn how to hover..

Everyone seems to be saying the pilot can't fly, perhaps he can but shouldn't of tried to, it looked out of trim.
