Very cheerful pilot, great attitude, crap luck. I’m with you on the lack of engine sound due to the wind. Would it have been possible to come nearer to your position before committing to a landing?
Thanks David. We've crashed so many times we just had to realize it's part of the hobby and deal with it. I used to get so MAD! And it was so windy he couldn't really control exactly where touchdown would have been.
we stated it was pilot error. However, the pilot could not hear the motor due to the howling winds and this contributed to the problem but thanks for pointing out the wind had nothing to do with it. Perhaps you were there?
@@insurancemann1 Coming in for a landing either keep the nose down or put in a bit of power. If you value your model you learn what minimum power it needs to fly, this is especially important if flying in conditions where actual air speed is hard to judge. To little air speed flying down wind has been the demise of countless large models ha ha.
You would think that with a combined 50 years of flying between us we wouldn't make that silly mistake but I guess he was very nervous and we're all human from time to time.
Why takeoff if your shit isnt setup properly? But more than that, learn to 'feel' the plane, if you have to keep feeding in up elevator, your getting slower..
Thanks for the comment John. You're right you would think with all our experience we would know better but Alex was just nervous, extremely nervous and made a mistake. I guess we're all human from time to time.
Love the commentary. Glad to see how you diagnosed the problem very quickly. Good luck on your next flight!
I came in deadstick with my B-25J due to the ESCs not being calibrated correctly. No power below 50%. I was lucky.
I always check the motor power before taking off
You, sir, are the Kevin Talbot of Planes!😂😂
Thanks for the compliment 👍🏻

Sounds like a bad bunch. Crashing should not be normalized.
Where is that Airfield, pls?
It looks like the crash had nothing to do with the Wind. A little bit of pilot error

A pre run up with it being a different esc would have prevented that.

@@insurancemann1 yup when nerves take over it happens to me too!
The commentary is hilarious.
That is not that bad. Actually good clean brakes.

Thats what happens when youre itching to fly😂
Takes less than a minute to calibrate an ESC........ Just saying........
Avanti all the way lol
We love some avantis, 1&2. We have 6s, 8s and 10s. Have video of 10s going 186mph.
