11 years has gone by and this is still fun to watch
11
....and ten years from now!
2:35... that was no "oops", that was a complete success! Amazing save!
That one wheeled biplane landing was impressive.

Three common reasons of these fails.
1. Lack of pilot skills. (stalls in low level flight)
2. Bad weather (strong wind)
3. Poor maintenance (gear retracted during soft landing etc.)
I hope all the little pilots were ok.

Thats what i'm hoping too!
Yeah these were some pretty harsh crashes.... they're so ignorant

Several of the "oops" moments were actually pretty skillful recoveries...
2:30 That guys got serious skill to put it down so well... fair play!
My first trainer was a Goldberg Eagle. It remained one of my favorite airplanes for ten years! It was beat up, but never wrecked. My Kaos .60 was wrecked once, snapping the right wing. Repaired, I stunted it for five years, going through three engines. My stable eventually grew to twenty six aircraft of many different designs. I sold it all when we moved and I retired. Now, all I fly is electrics of various designs I create myself. I really, really enjoyed my RC experience of 27 years so far.
was there some kind of troll going around loosening the landing gear of the aircraft?
Really landing gear reliability seems quite questionable after this video..
I remember this video. I use to watch it all the time when I was 5
The real champion is the camera man he didn't miss a beat....
Realizing the vast number of hours spent building these models made me cringe with every accident!
some of these guys dont fly well enough for the planes they have..
+Austin Mckenzie dont think any of them do, not 1 did a good aproach
+soul__seeker__ yea but how? these are not pilots
Joker they r rc pilots
soul__seeker__ thats the point, how should they know how to fly and land a plane correctly
love these videos. Reminds you that even the master's aren't perfect.
Wow - and these guys are the "TOP GUNS" of RC.
Not every good builder is a good pilot. ;)
Flip that around and it will make sense the landing gear on theses planes are horrible
***** I've seen folks try to land 40 pound planes with a gravity-latch mechanism for their landing gear. Problem is they release it long before flaring so it awkwardly falls and fails to lock, causing partial retraction upon touching down.
just because you can build a plane doesnt mean you can fly it
Exactly!!

ahahaha for little planes small bumps are like boulders in scale. love the detail :)
Some great footage there and great flying as well.
Mike
some of these that were classified as 'oops' moments would be major sucesses in my book. Im usually just happy when i land.
And is the plane at 3:40 scale? if so those engines must be massive....
Modeled after the Grumman F7F Tigercat. Can't wait for it to be added to War Thunder in the next patch too, will be fun.
wow thanks! i looked it up. It has some crazy proportions
SackKickingFatMan Yeah, it's one of my favorite American twin engines during that time period. And it was a naval aircraft, so it did carrier work too.
wow fantastic info. thank you for that. its hard to imagine it doing carrier work because of its size.I guess size is relative to the size of the carrier though to haha
SackKickingFatMan Yeah it's kind of a big plane for that. Or it looks. I think those big engines help get that power out. :D
these guys need to change there wheels supplyer
True
that Hawker Hurricane at the end was fantastic. what a beautiful plane.
I'm impressed with the no gear/missing gear landings. Good saves!
Lose the replays. If I want to see it again, I know how to use a PC.
the majority of these are gear failures...i dont understand why these expensive rc planes have such cheap landing gears? they all seem to just crumble under a few lbs of weight
Eric Mahoney They are trying to make it accurate to the real planes, which at 1:5 scale means really really tiny nuts and bolts that do not hold for long. That is why most RC enthusiasts just go for static bulky single piece wheels.
if i spent all that money on one of these, i wouldnt even take it outside lol
Also the event at 0:54 isn't an 'oops', just an accurate recreation of the real event. Nice work.
I am builder (models and UL), RC pilot, PLG pilot, UL pilot. This video shows absolutely lame pilot skills, every single crash on this video is pilot error. And this put a bad look on RC models generaly. Common people can see nice scale and expensive toys in hands of irresponsible troublemakers with no knowledge of aerodynamics.
only the first one was a huge pilot error, the other ones seemed to be mechanical failiures
the gear failing is not pilot error
Such hard landing can not withstand any landing gear...Try to hire a plane, land like this and tell the owner that it was a faulty landing gear. I wonder what rental says.
So the hellcat was a "hard landing"?
Armchair quarterbacking at it's finest... I happen to agree, a lot of these were mechanical failures. A lot of the gear failures happened after the landing, during deceleration. The grass looked too deep and the ground under it too rough. You can see in several of the videos the punishment the landing gears are taking after the plane is already on the ground. In addition, it's hard to have a hard landing (gear falling apart) during takeoff.
All i could think of was that country western song...
"you picked a fine time to leave me LOOSE WHEEL"
What is faster than a Hurricane? A Hurricane's free tyre. LOL I had my my share of Oops moments in my past RC modeler life.
that is the coolest collection of rc planes ive ever seen
Fantastic video!!!! and very beautiful scale models.!!! The first one was unusual an the last hurricane accident was "all the money"
Congratulation to all the builders.
I have a lot of respect for the people who build and fly these beautiful machines. I love watching these types of videos too, but don't understand the fascination with gratuitious replays. We pretty much got it the first time.
My grand father was an wheel, He didn't transform into anything. But he did it with honor and dignity!
If you watch enough WW II footage you will see the real airplanes make those exact same landings. Great stuff, nice video.
Great video and great editing! Nice job all around. Keep it up!
Haters gonna hate.
Slow motion replays can be extremely useful and entertaining.
Superb camera work. Enjoyed watching.
Some really beautiful planes here. Especially liking the Corsair @ 1:30. How cool would it be to wire up a little ejection seat? Haha it could launch out then a little "PoopaTroopa" style parachute could pop out, saving the day for the little pilots! Such a cool hobby, I hope to get into it some day.
Corsairs didn't have ejection seats. Maybe install one on the F-16.
***** I know that haha. I should have started a new paragraph, I was grouping two topics together. Yes a F-16 would be perfect!
Bin a while since I have seen this, tnxs very entertaining watching beautiful toy planes flown by amateurs!:-)
I wish people who invested the time to build these beautiful aircraft would spend an equal amount of time learning how to fly.
WHEELS OUT CHALLENGE? LOL Good rc models...thank for the video
lots of skilled pilots and top notch accessories I see...
what do many of these planes have in common? they're tail draggers! lol
those are really beautiful RC planes!
love that sea hurricane at the end it looks nice
I don't know how I got here. But damn, I was entertained!
I had an RC plane once... It was the most expensive short lived hobby I have ever had.
But boy was if fun!
Wheels are such a wonderful invention.
The ops moment at 1:40 is a authentic WWII landing from what i seen in history films of that plan lol
I feel so bad for these people but I still found myself laughing at how comical some of the crashes were..
I'll stick to smaller scale electric foamies, thanks.
Also, where are they getting those detachable tyres from?
That Spitfire and German WW1 plane did a great landing... and with only one wheel!
@ 2:30 - successful partial gear landing - magnificent piloting skills !!!
Excellent vid! Thanks
The slow motion replays where we can see the control responses or lack thereof are even more evidence that some people have no business flying these things
@Gill1am if your talking about the F4F which is referred to as the wildcat, at 1:58, the lock for the right landing gear strut failed....
@makenzie71 defo on my first go at flying a plane i found that a heavy plane was actualy easier to controll due to it not swinging in teh wind when you make slight adjustments
Nicely said!
"3:00 PM clinic in the big tent: Building landing gear that won't collapse."
Looks like tons of wind out there. Excellent saves for the most part.
cool the slowmo, we can enjoy the moment !!!
the air tractor take-off was the best!
@1:30 Pilot: "I... I can't check that the wheels are locked!!! Are they locked??? Dangit, I have to try!!!"
For the landing and the landing gearS you have a lot of to learn!
Those guys are actually really good pilots.
are the landing gear axles and bolts made out of toothpicks? Ive never owned of flown anything that size, but id think the LG on them would be more robust.
That jet model is awesome.
haha it would be funny to see RC Fire and Rescue chasing the planes down and then using foam on the plane lol.
a few cases of pilot error, like the tip stall in the beginning, but most of them seemed to be fighting a crosswind when landing. That's a tough situation, and besides that there was a bunch of mechanical failures with retracts. In several cases they looked like pretty decent landings, just on weak gear....
Lesson learned... I'm gonna go check the gear on my planes asap!
You guys ever hear of loctite? Your landing gear will love you for it.
@makenzie71 true + when you land at soft surfaces like grass in this video, the ground is too soft and the landing gear may get stuck a bit which may cause to break them.
loved the airbrakes on that f-16!
No one ever checks there landing gear when doing maintenance, I learned first hand how important it can be to check your gear after a hard landing. Make sure you check your gear every time you go out just to be sure the will hold up every time.
I so want to see scale fire/rescue responses. Some rigged with foam or dry chem(purple K). Even a snorkel or ladder raised.
awesome video, but i just cant help thinking of thunderbids! lol
2:35 that save tho
some gorgeous models .. that Fokker DR1 triplane took a hit - ouch!
Wow, these are some awesome looking RC planes. Hate seeing them get mashed up like that.
The trick is that the hurricane has a small hump behind the cockpit :P
really beautiful planes :)
u just gained a new subscriber :D
Nice save on the Hurricane.
Ouch! So many landing gear failures... And a few planes simply not generating enough lift. But awesome job still, all the planes look fantastic!
This video taught me to make sure my landing gear is quite beefy.
5:00 i love how the wheel keeps going in the spot where it was going to be if it was still connected to the plane
is stalling when not enough air goes passed the wings for control?
0:47 is a PT-17 Stearman inspired by microsoft flight navy scheme model?
Kinda took the words right out of my mouth. It amazes me how so many pilots have big money for scale warbirds and they can't fly 'em worth a crap. A member at my flying club told me if I ever get down to the Joe Nall event to pay particular attention to the warbirds. He said you'll find many great planes that will get destroyed on pilot error landings.
GREAT VIDIO.
@401JamesMr Correct. the rear landing gears on a tricycle gear configured aircraft (boeing 7XX, Airbus's, cessna 172, 182) are the main gears. On a tail dragger, such as the one that you were talking about in this vid, the main gears are located forward of the support tail wheel. When landing a tail dragger, you want to land on the mains first (the one's underneath the wings) not the tail first.
why is the pitch built over there while take off is being done from grassy land?
For those of you who "cant understand" gear failure, tire failure etc. It is commom for rc planes to have such failures. Grass landing in particular are the hardest. On tarmac you can adjust speed up for a hot landing as you have nothing hinding in the grass to the tiny wheels to catch on and flip the plane over. Also, alot of this is stalls and high winds at low speed. It makes controlling the plane difficult and there is little room for error. Also grass is forgiving, tarmac, not at all.
Nice one
sad moments for those planes/pilots, but awesome event! i don't fly RC planes (just planes) but this looks awesome, really nice models
I build my TPGP too fast!
I put the propellor on the wrong way round,
I threw it and full power, It slowed down and the nose dipped, and I realised I was loosing power!
I tried my best to get it out but I need up stalling onto the ground, very bad damage to the front wheel, and the motor.
Like watching the first WWII carrier landings again. lol
time to muster the troops for a FOD walk.
nice compilation.
