    I've been an RC pilot for about 15 years. Got my PPL on full scale planes last year. What we learned is that every approach ends in a go around with the option of a landing. Looking at your video, some of these incidents could have been avoided by just going around an trying again. 😊

    LOL the tendencey to push the nose down to get it on the ground is strong.. and the beginning of a SNAFU in many cases. I've been flying RC since 1974, consider myself half ass decent at the circuit and landings, but I never take them for granted - you need to earn the good ones every time.

    As a fellow middle-age RC pilot, most of these guys are flying planes above their skill level. Besides being a waste of money, time and effort, this can also be dangerous to others at the field. They should move back to flying more basic planes and practice landings.

  • @onebravotango
    @onebravotango 9 місяців тому +3

    Absolutely, your insight is spot on. Whether in RC or full-scale aviation, the ability to recognize a less-than-optimal situation and opt for a go-around is a skill that comes with experience and a commitment to safety. Trial version of testing before flying is always good.

    Shocked at a lot of these approaches. Buying a fancy model doesn’t mean you get golden fingers delivered in the box. Learning how to walk before running, I.e. learning all about landings in a simple model, is far less expensive

    It looks like they are teaching a new RC landing technique. Dive at the runway, pitch up hard and hold it till it almost stalls then stretch out the glide until it stalls/snaps or pancakes in on the belly. 😂

  • @Grossman2868
    @Grossman2868 Рік тому +5

    Amazing how so many of them can't seem to find the runway!! Are you turning over your waypoints to ensure you're lined up? You can turn and aim it toward you, then kick it out slightly. You could also make a much lower down wind pass so you don't build up speed and slap the thing on the runway....

    What I see at the RC filed is people don't practice landings. They get the thing up in the air trim it out and go right to aerobatics. Should be doing touch and go's and learn to land the thing. If you can't land it should not be taking off. If your worried about crashing it learning to land buy a cheap foam plane for learning. If you never learned proper way to land, get some instruction.

    "Why is R/C such an expensive hobby?"
    "Because the hardest part to learn is the landing."
    I've flown R/C, thirty-five or so years ago. Jets as we know them now didn't exist (ducted fans were new back then, and ran on high performance glow engines). I had a couple major crashes -- spun in after a "count the spins" went flat, repaired the airplane and was back at the field in two weeks; pulled the wings off an Olympic 650 glider flying with two pounds of lead ballast in slope lift and seeing how tight a loop I could pull (that one was a total, but I saved the radio and built another glider). I don't think I ever landed as badly as these, though. I always flew birds that could slow down...

    Flown RC a long time and I can easily say this video is a case of having more $$ than skill set! I flew RC Heli’s in competition and I’ve seen it many times. Guys barely learn to hover and show up at the field the next week with big $$ competition Heli’s top of the line. All the while there’s some poor guy with duct tape on his canopy just shredding it.😂🤣 one thing you can’t buy is skill and experience. Which takes time and patience. The best advice I can give anyone is to remember power is for altitude and pitch is for speed when landing full scale or models.

    Old guys with diminished skills aside...it just boggles the mind to be this deep into the hobby and you can't find the center line of the runway. Even on a 100 foot wide runway guys are missing the center line! Did they learn to fly on park foamies and scale up everything except flying fundamentals? That's a lot of money in the dirt at the edge of a perfectly good runway.

    @gscott5778 8 місяців тому +1

    Key issue I see that results in the major part of the damage is ... Poor Depth perception. I know because it happens to me.
    In these videos clearly the folks think they are over the runway when they aren't either in distance from runway start or lateral alignment on the runway. Now when it's going to be a gear up landing, yeah the grass apron might be softer but in most cases it's just simple depth perception, and when you add that to an engine out issue or something not working right, it clearly has bad results.

      @gscott5778 8 місяців тому

      @thelightersideofrc Can't do much when the problems occur one the first loop, but one more reason to add an alignment and distance pass at least once or twice before landing AND consciously do those as pre-landing actions. For me... I'm always taking multiple approaches because I realize I'm not lined up. Pulling grass out of hinges and foam is not my favorite post flight past time.

      You got it! If your flying them, they will expire at some point.

      I have a feeling it wasn't intentional.

    I actually enjoy watching RC Electric plains crash. Seeing those screaming, expensive little bombs destroyed right off the shelve has reward. They deserve to crash. However, I DO NOT like seeing turbines and radial engine planes crash. They represent time and a huge investment in the hobby. In those instances it is a heartbreak seeing a beautiful model crash.
