I had an Ultimate biplane go in like that at about 70mph in knife edge. Saved nothing but the tail to mount on the wall. It hurts. In all the years of seeing R/C crashes, I have never seen a cylinder head bounce down the runway like that. Damn good filming Pete! J
ouch on the ultimate m8, I wouldn't have noticed the cylinder head if I hadn't actually heard it pinning of the tarmac ! steve burnt his fingers when he picked it up - still hot ! john gave me permission to post this crash bless him,
Growing up in Hawaii my dad was into RC in the 60's , 70's and 80's and I was always surfing , now I turned into my dad and I fly, lol. He would build beautiful planes and bring them home in pieces on occasion. Now with foamies that are easy to build and are great park fliers , the hobby is much more affordable for newbs like myself. Being in the visitor industry in Hawaii I have to say that Aussies have the coolest attitude in general as a people and it shows in the way they are dealing with these crashes of there beautiful planes. Simply amazing, thanks for sharing Brah! Skippa
This brought back memories of an R/C Ju-87 I spent two years scratch building, only to lose it on the first flight because another guy ignored the flight rules and "tested" his radio gear while I was flying. His gear was on the same channel as mine...
I'm sorry for your loss.To me the video is positive it shows the skill needed, to build , pilot, and come back again and to do it again . I can feel every move ment from your X/T and the gut wrenching feeling your baby's Gone. I can speak this because I know this. I too fly R/C ,for forty years. Thank You for the well done video, a lot of us have walked this road. Sincerely Lance Anderson ( Maine)
I agree! I've seen some brand new foam planes that were toasted on their first flights. I've toasted a couple of nitro trainers myself. You feel like crap, and sometimes stupid because it happened. I lost one because my transmitter had a short from the battery. I didn't know what happened until I looked at the wires weeks later.
That opening crash ! The clatter of the dslr shutter going like the era machine gun that brought these wonderful looking aircraft down ... thought evoking .
Pete,at least some can have a laugh. I love the mouth to mouth performed on that "pilot". I also appreciate the fact that you have the ability and presence of mind to not target fixate and catch the sometimes tragic end to someones prized machine. Most appear as they will fly again, but I remember when you first aired the opening clip and were most considerate enough to get the owners permission to do so. It stated that fact just before you showed it. These clips show we all belong to a large group of "duct tape" owners. I could overhear one person conversing with the owner of that Sea Fury "you could just wrap a little tape around here" or something to that effect. It reminded me of a bush pilot who was hunting in Alaska, left his campsite, and when he came back, discovered that he had lert something in the plane that a bear really wanted. The bear tore the fusalge to heck. The pilot radioed his friend to bring duct tape and plastic sheeting. He rebuilt his plane and flew out of there. Happy Holidays, keep the rubber side down and God Bless, Paul from Florida.
thanks paul, yes the feelings of pilots do vary indeed, one pilot destroyed a model four years ago and still wont let me show the footage because of the bad memories it will awaken !
Flew r/c for 25+yrs and got out of it, after watching this video i still dont miss the hobby, even when everything seems right & going well it all can come crashing down (literally) at any moment
These pilots must be in the scale heavy weights. Heaviest plane I've ever had was a 2 meter F3A- barley 7 quarter lbs. If I could only get my hands on a proper scale Hawker tempest kit. Great footage. Painful to see in the moment but I learn great deal every time!
Pilot down at 5:03 and no barn to be seen. Bad thing about those tail draggers is that you have to give them a lot of up elevator to keep them from nosing over. Must have been one hell of an impact at 10:46 to break the cylinder off of the block. That poor plane disintegrated on impact. I'm glad no one gets hurt by debris flying all over the place.
It's weight saving, otherwise, they'd need really big engines. You have to pick and chose. Personally, i liked the ones a South Korean (only jets, the name of the channel escapes me) made here on UA-cam. Compressed air burst and instant lock design. The landing gear itself was beefy, but the compressed air part was not. Over all, very light. There's basically one control. On. And that's it. Downside, you need to charge it every time...forget.. and well, that's that. ALSO, it's not the expansion design that sucks (since most are scale copies) rather the deployment system. From what i've seen, from blogs and the such, people...just complicate things unnecessarily, for whatever reason.
I think at the 10:47 Mark the pilot lost his plane! I don't feel so bad, but you need a video of someone hitting the windsock on the field, that would bring back memories
This is a general question to everyone who would like to answer me. In my city we use a paved runway only. I found many landings In this video use grass as runways which I think is more likely to damage the landing gears? The wheels usual get stoked in some holes and the surface is not so even. Why to they still prefer to use grad even if they have the option little farther of a paved runway?
simple - tarmac destroys models when they come into contact with it, if a £20,000 jet tips a wing onto tarmac when landing across the wind then that wing will be torn open in seconds (same for any model) and the wing will have to be repaired or replaced (very expensive) grass does no damage at all - simple
@5:28- All attempts to resuscitate on site failed and sadly the pilot, Baron VonPoonslayer, was pronounced dead on arrival to hospital. They will be missed.
It is not pleasant to watch, but it is exciting and instructive. I have a feeling (maybe wrong) some builders are neglecting strength due to less a weight of models , but they paid the price.
Josip Vrandecic Yeah I think your right man! Give up a little performance for landing gear beef up in particular! Some of these mishaps with the nose gear gettin wiped off and just collapsing in general seem like things are a little to weak!
Ive flown a lot of full scale and RC. One thing that RC'ers lack is training in holding a steady and stable approach, whether landing with power or dead stick. A good approach almost always insures a good landing.
Must be very heartbreaking for the builders/pilots, but i guess its part of the hobby! It takes some serious determination to rebuild and fly again. And nobody said it was cheap, either! Here I am disappointed that I ordered a few parts that i didn't need for my RCs and its past the return date! lol
Heck, the size of these things - look at the first, if it was much bigger you could put a child in it! I actually wonder if that one could lift a young kid off the ground? But think of the risk, and the insurance!!! Marvelous machines, just terrific to watch, all those 100s of hours of pain to build it, of mastering it from the ground, with the real prospect that the darn thing will awol misfunction and do a kamikaze. Great stuff, many thanks, but do try to stop burying them!
9:06 - I know they're speaking English, but I have no idea what they're saying. It reminds me of that hotel scene from National Lampoon's European Vacation where the guy says something about "macaroons".
Dude, does a crash really require a normal speed, slow speed and confetti raining down for a time? You've got a great photographic eye, but your editing needs some work!

skippajack this is in uk
Thanks for the correction, these guys still have a great attitude! LOL
Thats what you get when you choose grass over pavement 7:45
You guys land better on one wheel than when both are down. Something in that.....
panther105 true, true
i know dummy
I'm in tears, can't remember the last time i laughed like that
This brought back memories of an R/C Ju-87 I spent two years scratch building, only to lose it on the first flight because another guy ignored the flight rules and "tested" his radio gear while I was flying. His gear was on the same channel as mine...
Today I've discovered what the world needs...and that's someone who can make a decent landing gear for rc aircraft!

many thanks lance
6:13 - and that's an excellent demonstration of why, in real life, the full-size version was called the "Ensign Eliminator".....
All of that was rather painful to watch.....
Looks like some pilots are much better at building than flying.
joy to watch pissed my pants laughing

gooniac33 my wallet was crying
Number one plane to avoid. Corsair. Absolute insanity
MrStamperh or p-51
MrStamperh hellcat*
That opening crash ! The clatter of the dslr shutter going like the era machine gun that brought these wonderful looking aircraft down ... thought evoking .
Fantastic, unblinking videography, even of such morbid subjects as this. Again, the sound is great.
Vic M.
thanks mick
Pucker landing with the Vulcan. Very nice save.
WoooW ... first and last crash was horrible. Too sad
thanks m8, its a shit hobby some days !!!!!!!!!!!
That's right. Especially if you do not have to disassemble your plane for the journey home.
lol - been there done that m8 !!!!!!
That recovery on the second one though!
😅 awesome air planes
One thing I've learned from these clips: stay away from Corsairs.
ha
LMAO XD
Stay away from the most beautifull WWII fighter ever built?
NEVER!!! 😉
Nah mate it was the spitfire
And don´t even get close to a fucking Lancaster
hate to see all these hours of work become kindling!!!!! well done on the corsair

My heart breaks when a plane is totaled but I also laugh and thank god it is not mine
@ 5:03 does anyone know if the pilot made it? he wasn't moving....so didn't LOOK good... 🙊
D G yea he'll be alright
Sadly its been a year and the pilot succumbed to his injuries awhile back.
Yes, and Barbie's pregnant...!!
I enjoyed the saves as well as the crashes.
Flew r/c for 25+yrs and got out of it, after watching this video i still dont miss the hobby, even when everything seems right & going well it all can come crashing down (literally) at any moment
some great landings here even if not perfect. Love the save on the vulcan...
Name of plane coming in gear up starting at 4:51? It looks like a Cirrus Vision jet but is lacking the rear inverted tail fins. Great landing though
0:47
Hold J to exit your aircraft
War thunder is now irl
These pilots must be in the scale heavy weights. Heaviest plane I've ever had was a 2 meter F3A- barley 7 quarter lbs. If I could only get my hands on a proper scale Hawker tempest kit.
Great footage. Painful to see in the moment but
I learn great deal every time!
thanks zwanso
Very sad and heartbreaking to see this😢
Did that F4U's engine stall right after retracting the landing gear?
That’s what it looks like!
Pilot down at 5:03 and no barn to be seen.
Bad thing about those tail draggers is that you have to give them a lot of up elevator to keep them from nosing over.
Must have been one hell of an impact at 10:46 to break the cylinder off of the block. That poor plane disintegrated on impact.
I'm glad no one gets hurt by debris flying all over the place.
outstanding one legged hurricane
I loved the crash where the cylinder head rolled away. Made me laugh.
Aside from the obvious pilot errors, it looks to me like retract design absolutely stinks.
Lauren Robison it's just the heavy models that they carry
more up elevator on landing and ditch the retracts
Lauren Robison More times then not it's the servo's or linkage that causes the trouble.
+Red where do you get the better landing gears at?

So sad ........some of those belly landings were done well by the pilots though !!!
thanks tom
Me, after crashing one of my planes and smashing it into teensy bits:
"LAAANDING!"
Heartbreaking but helps in learning what not to do or what can go wrong.
Damn, some of those were really hard to watch. My heart weeps for those pilots who have to start from scratch all over again.
I think at the 10:47 Mark the pilot lost his plane!
I don't feel so bad, but you need a video of someone hitting the windsock on the field, that would bring back memories
was that a bird strike at 2.57? idk if I've ever seen one
Great CPR!
Una pena de accidentes! Muchos se podran reparar. Gracias por compartir
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.....and the bigger mess they make.
gorgeous corsair landing at 1:00
Worst, and therefore best, compilation I've seen!
thanks mike
Hmmmm Got to love Retracts!!!
Man that lancaster bomber has some gear issues

awful lot of socks and sandals there.

Looks like its better to have fixed landing gear ?.
@5:28- All attempts to resuscitate on site failed and sadly the pilot, Baron VonPoonslayer, was pronounced dead on arrival to hospital. They will be missed.
0:13 THIS is what we want to see!
Two lessons that I've gotten from this video: 1) Never use retracst and 2) never use tail-dragger-type gear! ;-)
lol - yep
Or know how to fly a tail dragged properly and be able to handle a gear malfunction without doing something stupid
haha....yeah Christian, you could do it that way, but they are fun to learn. Everybody screws up once in a while. Even the know it alls. lol
Oh Shit, that hurts 😂
Greetings from bavaria
5:29 - did he live?
How much was that first plane worth?
just get some tape... and tape that round~ my field repairs in a nutshell XD
It is not pleasant to watch, but it is exciting and instructive. I have a feeling (maybe wrong) some builders are neglecting strength due to less a weight of models , but they paid the price.
thanks Josip, I think your right,
no - airplanes do not survive crashes like cars do
Josip Vrandecic Yeah I think your right man! Give up a little performance for landing gear beef up in particular! Some of these mishaps with the nose gear gettin wiped off and just collapsing in general seem like things are a little to weak!
Josip Vrandecic v cfggnfcfvg
gnajhdugkpkfk
That sounds like a real plane and not the buzzing you get from others What engine that got in it
The Sopwith Camel with the pilot was hilarious, yeah the poor guy had to endure the mouth to mouth
lol - the mouth to mouth probably killed him he next day
2:29 Focke-Wulf FW 190 , First ever Failed Takeoff , 1939 [Colorized]
Never was so much owed by so many to so few....
Ive flown a lot of full scale and RC. One thing that RC'ers lack is training in holding a steady and stable approach, whether landing with power or dead stick. A good approach almost always insures a good landing.

Here I am disappointed that I ordered a few parts that i didn't need for my RCs and its past the return date! lol
The Lancasters coming in on one main wheel is very WWII realistic.
That would be cool to watch. Put some cap gun rounds on some little model machine guns attach to a servo.
OMG SO COOL
Is anybody ever going to make a better retractable landing gear?
Man those taildraggers are so vulnerable to prop strikes. LOL
awesome
i know this trouble - but I love this hobby
you are not the only one
2:25 standard DCS FW-109 Takeoff
3:46 Standarte crash
mmm satisfying
Saved the best for last eh? Holy crap, that Corsair.. OBLITERATED!
Heck, the size of these things - look at the first, if it was much bigger you could put a child in it! I actually wonder if that one could lift a young kid off the ground? But think of the risk, and the insurance!!! Marvelous machines, just terrific to watch, all those 100s of hours of pain to build it, of mastering it from the ground, with the real prospect that the darn thing will awol misfunction and do a kamikaze. Great stuff, many thanks, but do try to stop burying them!
crashes yes... but many very deftly done saves.
The time, money, and effort that must have gone into these things,... 'Oh the pain!'
first
It seems a common sound is the wind blowing, probably to hard to be flying
2:03 name of plane plz
If you could have any RC plane, what would it be?
A 3dhs 106" edge demonstrator
Craig Wilson extra 300 1/4 scale electric
9:06 - I know they're speaking English, but I have no idea what they're saying. It reminds me of that hotel scene from National Lampoon's European Vacation where the guy says something about "macaroons".
WorthlessDeadEnd cd
who else love when they are totally destroyed?
to the nose over guys, when its down throw that elevator up to keep the back end down
bad luck on the Wavern?
2:27 NO BABY WHY THE FOCKE-WULF 190?????
11:00 that moment when u realize that u need a broom to collect your rc plane
0:18 I literally just shed a tear
OutaTime FPV hope Skip Stewart never sees it.
11:42
"Is that hot?"
"No, it just doesn't take me long to look at it."
These can't be cheap. I wonder what the cost is on some of those cool jets.
£8,000 to £15,000 +
0:56 wait let me help
6.03 corsair sounds lovely for a few seconds had that happen to me a few times
ah.... i see he was Saved by a FIRST RESPONDER....GOD BLESS OUR HEROES....THEY RUN TO THE CRISIS....NOT FROM IT...
nice legs too.... lmao....
🙊
Now I know why I never use retractable gear~~
Imagine the crashes that were not recorded
like for the 2:18 !
Several pilots contained herein...apparently do not grasp the hazard of an extreme sink rate on final approach.....until....DOH !
whats a mowsheen gowns,
pardon ???????????
Why does it always seem like the majority of the crashes happen to f-4U corsairs
the shape of the wings mean high speed landings
Dude, does a crash really require a normal speed, slow speed and confetti raining down for a time? You've got a great photographic eye, but your editing needs some work!
