- People often ask, well, here's the answer...
Sometimes we crash to...
This time it was due to the smallest possible reason... following a smoke fluid leak, it seems that smoke fluid got into the connexion between power supply and ignition, resulting in a intermittent bad connection...
Too bad about the timing of this particular bad connection...
I never crash my rc plane. However, the do sometimes fall with style. ;)
Best - Description - Ever!
Pinned to the top!!!
@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC It's a t-shirt print I've seen a couple of times. :D
@Alvin Isaac Stop spreading your shit mate. I guess you'll be beck in 10 minutes, under another name to say it took you a while but you found it. As you always do.
@Harlem Barrett See, I told you'be be back, ass*ole!
Yeah we have 50 awesome flights then have a bad day, crash twice in a row then blame the receiver and throw away a perfectly good receiver to save face😂
When Martin crashes it's so special that some of us feel he's one of us but we know he's not, he's better. Thanks for sharing Martin.
lol
🙂 i just started this hobby and i think in terms of years of practice you should be 42 years ahead.. and i am 41! unbelievable man!you are the Dean of rc planes!
Martin. It amazes me how you can remember exactly what to do for each menuever especially one right after the other. I am doing what you told me and I will Fly one plane and just learn that plane until the confidence is really high. Love watching you Fly you are inspirational to me. Thank you. 👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸✌🏼✌🏼😎
It becomes second nature, just like driving a car... have fun with it bro!!
@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC most dummies can drive a car. only a few can drive at competition levels. i am a good driver and can do some rally stages but i'm way too slow to fly like that :D i could never do a rally stage going in reverse while hanging upside down in the seat, like you are doing with a plane coming at you in a knifes adge 15cm from the ground and you just so perfectly flip it 180 degrees and smoothly spin to altitude and then snap in to a inverted flatspin and transfer back to a knifesedge mere seconds before it hits the ground.
i can do "most" of the tricks but only one at a time and my rolling harries is limited to 2 or 3 SLOOOOW turns and then i crash :D
That was some next level flying. Thank you for sharing and I am sorry for that terrible crash, but sometimes it happens, glad you are ready to build again. Cheers.
I was going to skip to the crash at first, but your flying got me in a trance! Keep it up!
Your level of concentration is amazing! I was watching you as much as the aircraft. No matter the sport it’s great to watch competitors “In the zone” Great flying!
Thanks! Had never really noticed before!!
You are one of the best RC pilots I have ever seen and admire you! Even better, I think you show a crash once. Respect others would have censored that. I subscribed to you. Greetings from Germany your Martin
Thank you Flybrei!
@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC 👍😎
Flybrei ua-cam.com/video/ZYZqDbzEXsg/v-deo.html
This guy is better
@@Flybrei yup, He got some very impressive skills. Maybe one day i'll be able to fly somewhat Like him. Got a good "sponsor" with Tobi-style 🤣
Hi Martin, ... Just funny! Thanks for your honesty! :-)
I'm in awe!! amazing flying ...simply the best :-))))
I have been flying and building model airplanes for years and I love it but on the other hand I have accepted that it is a crash and burn hobby!!!!!! Great video Thankyou
If you dont crash, you don’t fly...!
Have you ever shown a video were you do a split screen shot of the plane flying and zoomed in shot of you operating the controls at the same time. That would be neat to see just what you are doing with the controls to make the plane do areobatic tricks. We would love to see a video like this if it is possible for you to make. we enjoy your videos so much thanks for taking the time to make them and share with us. God bless
I agree, I would love to see your fingers on the sticks, and perhaps a pop up of the trick performed. Would be really cool.
I never crash, i might have rapid unscheduled disassembles.....
I've been flying aerobatics for about 3 years and put myself in the plane to know my controls so I dont crash. Well I almost threw up trying to do that with Martin's incredible flying skill. Lol.
It amazes me to watch people fly like you. So inspiring, wish I could find someone near me to fly with. Nice work man!
Thank you Dan!!!
I can do everyone of those maneuvers... just not on purpose..lol .... fantastic work Martin👍
HAhaha, You can do it man!! Just style it out at the end! Like I did lol
Hey Martin, you rock, making a living out of this while being honest... I subscribed. I am older, this is my first subscription. FWIW. Jealous. You rock. :-). I think I already said that. But you young whipper snappers... do it like this. Well done.
Thanks man!! Just wish you were right that I am living from this! I still have a 09-18h job Monday to Friday and simply spend arguably too much time with this awesome hobby! Wouldn't change it though!
Ok , THAT was awesome ! (the flying of course) lol .
Thank you for posting this Sir !
EPIC skills sir! I cant wrap my head around this level of skill. WOW. I cant even knife edge my PItts...yet
Thanks Sean! Just keep at it and it will happen! =)
Eres un fenómeno Martin, si falla el motor o la conexión, son cosas que pasan, y vistos tus recitales, habría que estar muy loco para atribuir "falta de manos"jejeje. Vi todo el vídeo sin fijarme en quien pilotaba, y al ver el aterrizaje dije anda! A lo pickering! Y seguido me fijé y dije, claro, solo podía ser el! Tienes muuy buenas manos✌️
You show that even the best have those kind of days too! But I’m sure they are a lot fewer than some noobs I could mention! Lol it was a pleasure to meet you that day no matter how your flying turned out MP. You’re a legend!👏👏🤗🍾🏆
Next time will be better Michael, promise!!!
Amazing skills that I can only dream of having...I never ever crash..just have heavy arrivals...😆😆
Awesome flying regardless. 🤘
This is OUR Hobby :.( But, you are really COOL guy! Thanks for Exellent and nice flying!
WOW!!! Incredible flying skills. And luckily the damage doesn't look that bad. Good luck!
After crashing he has had two half planes and u r saying "not that bad"! :) The pilot has amazing skills but it was a technical problem.Sometimes the battery fault of receiver can cause such crash..
@@eng954 LOL you've obviously never built or repaired any RC aircraft. The big model is still largely intact, but with a snapped-in-half fuselage aft of the wing joint, which is not that uncommon and fairly easy to repair. Even the RC electronics are still functional post-crash as the pilot demonstrates by flicking the ailerons with his transmitter. The damage looks a bit worse because the removable top fuselage/canopy section also popped off.
Yeah, an unfortunate low slow crash, but thankfully... not that bad.
Cheers from Thailand and stay well! 😁
YOUR THE BEST MAN,AWESOME,LIKE THEY SAID TIME TO BUILD ANTHER ONE,YOU LOVE IT LIKE THE REST OF USE.
RIP Extra 😢 PS you're the best
RC pilot 👍🏼❤️
I don't crash, I just re-kit a lot of planes.
Lol
The biggest issue with crashing is the thought of the time you put into building and setting up the airframe. But it happens... When are you visiting South Africa again?
No news yet but hopefully soon! Been too long and always have a blast!
Joer que mala suerte! Grande maestro!
Martin, at least you show that you are human. Not like JD that only shows beautiful and crazy g forces on his stunts. I applaud you my friend. Nothing you can do when engine quits on you.
Thank you my friend!
this video brought me to your channel... LEL!
Oops! lol
@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC crashing happens to everyone. even jase dussia. im sure most of the crashes that happen with 104 sized planes are not on purpose and in this case, it was not even your fault. luckily enough, all the scale planes i have flown, i have never crashed. ive only ever crashed foamies xD. love your channel btw.
Just crashed my $350 F16 yesterday and it was a complete loss of the air frame. Even the motor was destroyed the only thing I could actually salvage was a couple landing gear and some servos. However, if you aren't willing to take the risk of crashing a certain plane probably shouldn't even put it in the air.. It's part of the hobby and the nice thing is I'm still dealing with cheaper planes so I can just replace this in a couple of weeks haha.
that last part...the plane is waving , saying goodbye isn't it?
Creative vídeo, I like the way you put in a narrative, Sorry for the crash, but we know that happens some times and we Just continue moving on
Beautiful flight!... The first one...
lol
It’s one thing to watch great 3D pilots on video but much better in person I remember seeing Andrew Jesky fly a 3D demo in Texas it was awesome 👏
Couldn't agree more! Jesky is a class act and great guy
It's been over two years since I'v lost one and I fly it like I stole it (including high energy). After I lost my first one due to incompetence I learned that you don't really learn anything from wreaking planes other than it's expensive, time consuming and to always keep a spare plane around just in case it happens. 99% of the time it's a plane failure so restrain those wires every two inches, build it tough, keep up on that airframe and tune that motor! I cant count how many times I found problems that would have brought my plane down if I would have put it in the air one more time! Hopefully my my good fortune continues but I'm sure that day will come again so most of all don't loos your sense of humor. We are playing with toys. lol
All very true, keep the good maintenance and you will keep the good flights!!
Did you already fly that low before you had sponsors? x)
About the crash, that's an engine failure but was it your fault or just bad luck?
Yeah, I always enjoyed flying low, sponsors came after...
This time it was a simple bad connection to the ignition... and really bad timing!
@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC Me too I always liked flying low... Before buying an expensive CARF xD
yeah, been there too but with Krill, went back to wood eventually partly for that reason!@@Quatuux
Awesome flight...so did it dead stick there at the end of its life? No where to safely take it down. That sucks but like you said...sometimes we crash
On to the next one!
That’s some crazy skills you have there. Great flying
Hey Martin. Nice to hear from a pilot like you, you are a good inspiration for us, keep up the good work. Aim high-fly low alltitude is my freind-low fly my demon;) Max
Insane stick skillz!! 👍😁😎
Martin. What is the maneuver at 1:40? Great flying. Some landings are just more graceful than others. Others result in major damage.😁
Knife edge spin. Used to be done first by Hanno Prettner when was known as a Prettner screw. All landings are indeed good, a great landing is when you can re-use the aircraft! lol
nice flying!
hi do you ever rebuild or do you just get a new one a video on you rebuilding would be great
I didnt but a friend did and is still enjoying it!
Each time my plane crash beyond repair, I cremate it at flying site together with the song Auld Lang Syne.
Martin, you are such a talent! Hanno Prettner would be so proud of you! Can you do a knife edge loop? That was his challenge. Good luck!
Thank you mate! Yes, can do a knife edge loop, doesn't usually make it into videos though as it needs to be big and takes space and time... I feel that it was a much harder challenge in Hanno's day, now, with such light airframes and powerful engines, "anyone" can do it, just need to make it big and have patience to finish...
You're one heck of a pilot with those skills
Thanks!
Proper handy on the sticks chap!
Shame it met the ground as it did - did the engine stall/stop?
yup, no power = no airspeed which when + no height = video...
hi martin, great video as always, i had a question regarding radio mode, iam used to flying mode 2, trying to work on my rolling and stir but cant get the hang of it. what radio mode do you fly and does one mode or other have a bearing on 3D flight?, cheers.
Hi, I use mode 2. All modes benefit some maneuver or another. Just keep practicing first with knife edge and inverted, then 4 point rolls, then slow rolls, then get faster. If you keep at it in this order, you will pick it up fast and it becomes just a rhythm. Good luck!
@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC thank you martin much appreciated
That sucks I am so sorry, that was a very nice looking airplane
Ostras, vaya toña... El primer vuelo estuvo brutal por eso!
Fue parada de motor o hubo algo más?
mala conexión en el encendido.... cosas que pasan en los peores momentos...
Amazing skill in a scale plane flown so un-scale like!
Only because the full scale don't have the power we do...!! =)
@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC I'm aware of that, been flying toy planes for 50 years, but could never see the need to fly a scale model un-scale like, each to their own.
@@endwood I agree, however this is not a scale model (at least in my view). It has no details, rivets, not to mention that the actual shape and even proportions are (sadly) far from the full size (to improve acrobatic performance at this scale). It is not really made to fly scale, partly as it doesn't look scale... If it was a composite version, with all the (few) panel lines, screws and rivets from the full size, with a nice sounding 4 stroke engine one then I can assure you that my flying style of it would be very different =)
@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC I understand it's not a scale model of any particular design but it's scale as in it represents a full size plane. No matter the skill you guys have is amazing but & don't take this the wrong way like Heli Aero's it's boring to watch after a couple of minutes, each to their own hey?:-)
@@endwood Yep, all styles are good, as long as its fun!
when I crash with rc plane or heli, I everytime learn something new:)
As it should be! Just hope we dont learn new things too often lol
@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC thats right:DD
One of the best pilot I've seen. You have absolutly amazing flying skills and I enyoj to watch your videos!! Specialy Thank You for share!
One message for all you guys. Sometimes crash is normal in this sport, unless it becomes routine, then it is not for you hehe.
We can't influence some things be happend of hardware in models.
Great flying. Anybody that knows anything about flying can clearly see that was caused by an engine failure and the plane did not have enough altitude and air speed to recover. No pilot in the world could have landed that plane.
Amazing control!
Ne oldu konsantresi bozuldu olurmu? Olur çıkar şapkanı selamla topla modelini doğrusu bu
R.I.P. Extra :( I love your videos Martin you are awesome pilot.
Im not pro at recognizing planes but my friend crashed one YAK 300 to shreds, it looked alot like Your plane but my buddys plane was non recoverable, just balsa everywhere..
He did it properly then!
That sucks. I’d rather make a mistake and fly it into the ground myself. Any idea why the engine cut?
Soon he'll use an electric engine and a 4D propeller, I bet x)
4D with a large scale model
Me too, but had fun with the plane over a long time so its all good... just a bad connection and really bad timing... time for a new project!
Not many years ago people would be certain the plane is possessed and shoot it.
lol, best comment yet
Amen.
We fly maneuvers that Only full size aircraft do...no harrier whup wha...nada...we still enjoy flight...And we bring 'em home to fly 'em another time Way more than you do...Plain Truth!!🛩️😎🇩🇪🇺🇸☝️👍
That crash wasn't even pilot error. Incredible flying skills
Guapisimo como pilotas!! Una pasada de video!!
AMAZING!!!! first flight,.. honestly jaw dropping, so sorry for the crash though,.. did the engine cut ? but wow you sure can plank with the best of them
=D yeah, did a really low blade stop... lol
Después de 1000 batallas cayó en acto de servicio. Muy buenos los aviones de Pilot y mas se ve en tus manos amigo Martin. Mucha caña le diste a ese avión desde que cayo en tus manos y muuuuchos vuelos. Brindo por el...y por el piloto jejejeje
That looked like some kind of linkage or servo failure. He’s too good to crash like that 😉
Amazing skills! shame about the crash!.
Thanks!
Damn, you got some skills. Nice flying. It seemed like a very soft crash, surprised by how much damage there was..
Oye ibas chido karnal, ni pedo a si es este hobby, sigues siendo el mejor!!
Amazing flying ! could you not repair r make a new fuselage ? I know the construction is very light for that type of flying so perhaps normal repair work is a bit heavy,and the construction is slot together laser parts too,just a thought.
Hi Angel, yes, it actually wasn't a difficult fix. A new fuselage was all that was needed, or even that could be repaired as it was a very clean cut. It was an old plane though and with new projects on the way, we actually found someone who wanted to try and repair it for themselves, so it went to a new home and will fly again!
if it was dumb thumbs then it aint too bad but engine cut is just a total bummer :-(
great flying as always Mr P
Question: "Do these aerobatic models crash ver often?"
Answer: "No not often, never more then once..."
lol
Incredible flying skill Martin.
Amazing flight. Sad with the crash..
Yeah, thanks!
it happens to the best of us
There are two types that claim they never crash, LIERS and OLD farts that cannot remember.
I am 17 and i have never crashed😜😜
This isn't flying: it's just an anti-gravity machine disguised as an airplane!
What's an beautiful flight😂 before your unlucky crash😪😭
Have a good build 😅
Thx!
Awesome pilot! Sometimes when you push the limit things will happen. Too bad for your plane.
What's the earphone for?
6:48 youre welcome.
You dont realize how big that thing is till the end. I need one this big just to see if it's upside down or right side up when it's a little ways from me lol And since I dont have that type of money, I fly foamies very close!! lol
Oh man I'm sorry you crashed Martin. You're still the best RC pilot though so don't sweat it m8 😀
Excuses are like assholes, we all got em and they stink...
I noticed that you had earphones on. What type of music do you listen to when flying?
Anything that I enjoy, normally something fast or loud.. At the moment I am going for Nickleback
Профи только так теряют свои спортивные снаряды! Как это мне знакомо))
I'm a new subscriber ... now that I've seen a few videos I'd say you have great potential, but need to work on your "straight and level flight". ha ha You are amazing.
Lol, will bare that in mind mate haha, thanks for the sub!
da best always push da envelope... makes for awesome performances...great flyin....
For Martin it’s time to build another one for rest of us 😪🤧😲
That would be a very uncomfortable way to get from point a to point b....
Exciting though?!!! =)
But, something failed with the mechanics right?
ah ngaranna ge syuting pasti di teangan nu alus alusna hungkul atuh....
Now i have 10 years flying in Aruba lots of crashes but i learn from my mistake 🛩🛩
Superb flying:-)
Wow! That thing doesn't seem to be affected by gravity. You are pretty talented.
Thanks!!
Was that a cap232.. Or what an extra..
It was a Extra 330SC by Pilot-RC 107"
Thank you
The silver lining Martin, a new plane!
Yes! Always find something as silver linings!
