A turn, a bit of a climb, and from the sound allowing for the distance the throttle reduced, it all combines to look like a stall Capt Robert. I hope you can assemble all the pieces again, it certainly flies nicely on the level.
Hey Joanne. This is really dream EDF. Such a good flyer and it looks so good. But this time its gone. We will just use what is left for spare parts. Stay well and see you soon, Robert
Found you via your P-51B video; you fellows are a riot. It looked beautiful; the loss is such a pity. May have been asymmetric thrust with the right ESC entering low-voltage cutoff first; it couldn’t have happened at a worse time as you were pitched up and in a right bank when it snapped. Most RC twins are unflyable with asymmetric thrust: too much roll due to yaw. The Pica Duelist was one of the rare exceptions that was manageable on a single engine.
If signal is lost ie brownout then the Rx should show a non flashing light, always worth checking for that at the crash scene, of course if the battery has become disconnected then this won’t apply. You guys make the best films of models in flight, keep em coming!
Hey Steve. I was without words for a few seconds, but what can you do. At least we got it on the camera ;) But I really hope that I will have another one someday. This is still my dream plane. Now even more that before... Be well and see you soon, Robert
Finally flew the Me-262. It’s sneaky fast. Handled great. I put an AR-637T in it, so that explains the great handling. Looks good, sounds good, pretty darn fast.
A crash is worth a 1000 videos. Captain Blaz and Pilot Robert, you guys are awesome and human. We push, we fly and crash. 9:25 leads to that vacant stare with stash and hat at 9:59. You guys make me want to buy both of those planes and do all the learning needed to fly those beast. The one time I flew with my brother I got cut saving a plane, and he made sure to mention that along with hoping to capture it on film the second time. A great day. You guys have many great days.
Hey Joshua. I will get another no matter what. And I will upgrade it to 12 blades and make perfect flight again. Someday... And like you said, at least we got the crash on camera. Oh yeah... Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert

Hey Michael like you said. But I really hope that someday I will have this dream plane again. I just love it and miss it in my hangar... Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
After watching this video I flew the ME 262 in RealFlight 9 simulator. When I reduced power in a medium bank and slowed to about 50 mph, it would roll and spiral to the ground - every time! Impossible to recover even when I was expecting the roll. Sorry you lost your plane. (North Carolina, USA)
you do have Bermuda triangle. Looks like a void filled with electrical build up. take a fluorescent bulb there n see if it flickers. What name of town, in Slovenia and the river Krka? Just interested, I like history and cultural geography. I had a Doctor friend and his wife from the former Yugoslavia. He was very broken with the change. Thank you. Salute'
Oh what a shame that happened. Something funny is definitely happening near those power lines. I love Me 262s and that was a real beautiful model. The same thing happened to a friend of mine when he flew close to power lines but the plane kept going level until it was away from the lines then he had controls back. Captain Robert you took it well. I would've been swearing and cussing and then crying. Dynam makes a 262 but its not as nice as the freewing. Hopefully you get it back ok. Poor guy. Take care mate.
That's such a shame Robert, such a nice plane. I watched it a couple of times and to me it looked like a stall, plus you wasn't high enough to recover from it, such a shame! Don't let this discourage you, love the videos, oh yeah!
A wonderful optimist Robert. Put it behind you are you are a great pilot and there are many more aircraft coming your way! Looks like it’s getting cooler there 32c here this week as our weather warms up Regards mate
Thanks Noel. There is still so many babys left to test, but I will really miss that ME262 in my hangar. But maybe I will get another someday. And with 12 blades. Oh yeah... Be well my friend, Robert
At my airfield there is too a dangerous zone, which is better to avoid to fly over low and slow because there are some strange interferences without nearby powerlines. I 've seen the Me262 to fall exactly like my plane: i was piloting smooth and straight when suddendly the plane went down spinning. So capt. Robert didn't make any mistake while piloting but he should listen to the wise advices of capt. Blatz when he said to land! ;)

Thanks T for stopping by here. we still dont know what happened here. We had problems in that area with different radios even with Frsky. Captain Blaž has FRsky and he crashed his Texan there. But hey as long as we got it on camera ;) Big salute to Australia and see you soon, Robert
I am with you. Seen some Spectrum related air crashes. Other than Frsky my vote is for MULTIPLEX. Their DR-Type (Two real receivers in one) receivers are fool proof.
Oh yeah Wolfgang, but you can find here two videos of Captain Blažs crashes with Multiplex Royal... Its crazy but it is like it is. And even if we crash we dont mind as long as we got it on the camera ;) Be well and see you soon, Robert
It might be a heavy interfernce but from the power line? Doubtful. And what MPX receiver did Blaz use. They have many. The DR (without "Light") are excellent.
Is it a spektrum transmitter? I've had allot of brown outs with these losing one plane and crashing a few others. I use orange now. The transmitter was a third of the price of spektrum and totally reliable.
Thanks Simon. Somethimes you win and somethimes you lose. This time I lost. But there is still so much to try and we will just go to the next baby. Oh yeah... Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
Oh no! Since it has happen before in that area and rewatching i agree not pilot error. Ive never had this issue around power lines but I also fly with Futaba transmitter and receivers. Think Robert flys with them orange receivers, might want to try diffrent kind of receiver and send over to same area an see what happens, or just fly Futaba so no issues! Lol. But yea to bad was nice plane Robert an nice flying!
It flew really good, I think you ran out of battery and you tip stalled it. Hey you win some and you lose some. Your a great pilot and stuff happens. Pilot Robert you fly on the edge and you pushed it a little to much.
Captain Robert...we feel your pain...of the loss of this Beautiful aircraft...😣 These power lines and Microwave Antennas do interfere with electronics....I have experienced this in the automotive world.....While passing a tower with cone shaped microwave Antennas with large overhead power lines.....My Car Just Shut off at highway speed....only to restart 400 meters passed the Antenna Array.....a week later, my car shut off in the Same Damn Spot....Something in the electronic ignition was sensitive to these Antenna...Different Ending when your in the Air...There was nothing you could do....but watch..😔 This is a "No Fly Zone"...and best if avoided....Big Salute for great Flight....👍👏👏👏👏
Look at dis 😍. Robert it was flying so good. We had a club member flying his and same thing happen. His was ESC failure. So sorry. Awesome flying and video. 🤐😀💝
We all have that hollowed out look when this happens. Onlookers may laugh, but it is never funny for the flyer, ever. I really felt bad for the big guy.
Tip stall I think....but I have had a similar incident with plenty of speed in the turn. 2.6 ghz are not 100% fool proof, but MUCH better than the old varied Mhz channels. Still great flights!! Keep the cameras going Captain Blatz!!
Iam still wondering my friend. But what to do now. Still I had great time with this plane and I really wish to have another someday. Big salute to you from Slovenia.
Crash damage reduction kits from Killer Planes. I thought you should know. UA-cam video: Killer Planes Crashproofing (Carbon Fiber Reinforcement) will Make You Feel LIke Singing!
No tip stall. Did you listen to what Robert said on the video? "The same place where all the transmitters don't work". Happens at a lot of fields now. Nobody talks about it too much though. If it's spektrum it does a roll to the right and straight down. Been there done it. Twice. Same spot in the field. And it hasn't just happened to me at our field.
I hope it flies better than the full scale version. Overweight, not a large enough horizontal stab, no nosewheel steering, under powered, wing incidences all wrong, and more. I believe I read just a couple months ago that the company is really hurting. Thanks for the flight review.
Definitely looked a bit slow on that final turn. If the airflow is not moving fast enough over the control surfaces, the result is a stall. Sorry about your 262. I've made that same mistake in the past, tip stall. Hope your 262 did not suffer to much damage.
Like you said S. It was totall loss. But I have saved the ESCs and the EDFs and i have used them in my new Gloster Meteor. Oh yeah... I hope that I will have this bird again someday... Cheers my friend, Robert
Hello Pilot Robert, I have been building my ME 262 and was thinking about replacing the stock EC5 connector with a XT90. Your plane had an XT connector as well. Do you remember what connector this plane had in it? Thanks and thanks for all the great videos you and Captain Blaz post, -Waingro.
Robert, love the videos from you and your brother. That ME 262 is awesome. So, what happened to it? Was it totaled? Also, my mother in law is Macedonian. I see you both use the word Ide. My mother in laws uses that word which I think means hurry up or let's get going??? Good flying from the US...
Thanks my friend for such kind words. The bird was total loss. But I did use ESCs and EDFs in Gloster Meteor for upgrade. And we also use that word ajde which means lets go or hurry up. Big salute from Slovenia, Robert
You too Robert. Oh, by the way, I just purchased the Dynam A-10 Thunderbolt. It's ready to go, but I'm a little nervous flying it. I've been a quadcopter guy for 5 years. Started in RC planes probably when you were a kid 40 years ago. Never kept up with the hobby thus I'm a mediocre fixed wing guy... ;)
Hey Cpt. Robert! Sorry for your loss. Signal loss or tip stall question? We will never know. I think it’s both. Sometimes servo mechanism freeze on their last position or travel at random extremes when receiver looses signal. Maybe after loosing signal servos just deflected and tip stalled your plane. But hey! It doesn’t matter much now... me 262 rest in “pieces”.
That could have been loss of signal. Is your transmitter a Spektrum DX18 ? There are signal loss issues with some of the early versions. A recall was issued.
Robert Petrinčič I have not heard of signal issues with DX9, but your crash looked like the issues our club member had with DX18. I have the DX8 and DX6i and have never had signal loss. Yes, I hope it will fly again someday. Still cold and snowy here, but warm up coming.
Hey Robert Great to hear from you mate. Yes, after the 4 th flight of my beautiful bird, I lost signal with no response from transmitter and the aircraft just went into a sporting oval ...damage to prop ( replaced) all undercarriage removed and hole in wing (fixed) I contacted Horizon Hobby and they sent me a new body and undercarriage ( wonderful service) cannot fly still as the nose gear is damaged with no available worldwide spares available, so will have to wait. Regards Noel
Hey Noel. Sorry to hear that, but you will fix it and be in the air once more. That baby really deserves that. Oh yeah... Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
This could turn in to another Yak 52, cut your losses now, if you smash this one up make sure Captain Blaz is filming this time LOL! Seriously though, sorry to see that, it looked like a very nice plane and you clearly loved it.
Hey Mick This was really my dream plane. I was watching this baby on Motion RC for a few years and finally I got oportunity to buy second hand one. It was crashed before but I was still in love from the moment I saw it for the first time. And it was such a great flyer. Pure joy watching it in the air. And I really dont know what happened here. We have lost a few planes there on exactely the same way. They just started to roll there. I did puted throtle up and elevator full to the left but no response. Or maybe it was just tip stall. But I dont believe that because I was flying with this baby at that speed and making turns and it was OK. But hey. What can I do. We will go on and who knows maybe someday I will have my baby back. Not this one, it was totaly ruined but another. So stay well my friend and see you soon, Robert
Sorry for your loss There Sr. Robert ..maybe turn , upward angle and flaps... planes don't always make it home in one piece..Have a few beers and think of the fun times !! Tomorrow is another day !!!
Hey Jo. Like you said. Since I dont drink I will just watch the video of the maiden flight. That one was perfect and a dream flight for me. The lost is bigger for me because this baby was crashed before, I bought this second hand, fixed it and it had a story behind. The soul. But this time it didnt survive and there is nothing left to fix. But maybe someday it will came back to me. I hope new one. Oh yeah... So thanks my friend and see you soon, Robert
Ouch :( I have a "Bermuda Triangle" on one of my fields too, I am still unsure if it is a problem with signal or something strange with downdraft column of air. Three crashes now in the same place within one year. It is good you "discovered" glue recently :) I hope she is OK...
Hey Georg. Its over for this baby. Even the glue will not fix this damage. But they still sell them and I hope that someday I will get another. Cheers, Robert
Looked like you got jammed. Happens when signals get hot and saturate the radio signal. We have a few spots like that at our field also. Just got to learn to avoid those spots or how to fly through them.
What a bummer! Great looking plane and i hope to see it in the air again. Unfortunately i have experieced the same sort of loss of control at a park near my house but it was due to a wifi hotspot in the same frequency range as my reciever.
I just dont know what happened here. Maybe it was my mistake, maybe it wasnt. The baby is gone and that is the fact. But hey, they still sell them and I hope that I will have another someday. Oh yeah... Cheers, Robert
Hey L. We all know about it but I just forgot. We have lost a few planes there and it was even worst while we were still flying 35mHz transmitters. And that mountain Gorjanci where there is TV antena and you can see it on our videos is all white today. It was caos today on our highways. Oh yeah... Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
This was yesterday at nearly the same spot indeed when you called at 13:08: “oh no”. I think you're right Robert. On the other hand, it also looks like a stall. This does not make it easy to find the cause. It's only possible to try another TX / RX, maybe a Futaba system? Please let me know what the damage is, I hope so bad that it's not too bad, this plane is a beauty.
Hey Louis. We all had problems there with different transmitters, so I dont know. But maybe it was just stall like you said. And this time the bird didnt survived. To much damage, I will not be able to fix this one. But now it is again my dream plane that I dont have ;) Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
How bad is it Robert? Is it repairable? I watched the final, when you said deploy flaps it started to climb while in a banked turn. Do you program some down elevator with the flaps? Now, I would take that bird under those power lines and see if it jitters while the radio is at the table. If no jitters, it must have been a tip stall. I have seen so many warbirds do that. I would try deploying flaps only after lining up the runway. I live and love to fly, but NOBODY likes to crash. But what goes up, must come down...Don't stop til you grease that landing!!!
Man, that stinks. At least you handled it like a man. I lost my two favorite planes a week apart a couple years ago. One was a brown out and the other was a midair crash. I contemplated quitting rc. With this hobby, you will have to learn to accept some bad luck at times. I crashed a plane yesterday. I was flying FPV on my old Eflite Apprentice. I noticed it getting slower and then it just fell out of the sky. I have had a few odd issues with the receiver so it will go in the trash. A new motor mount, a new cowl, and some glue will have the beat up Apprentice back in business. Keep your head up and keep flying.
Like you said G. If you are in this hobby you will crash a plane or two no matter what eventualy. But I had fun with this baby and maybe I will find another someday. Cheers, Robert
Wow, that jet looks so awesome in the air and I love how fast it goes!! Really sorry for your loss mate. Definitely looked like a stall but signal loss in the turn will also cause that. Have you tried Frsky gear? Might be worth a try. Hope you can fix the jet Rob. All the best mate, Jase.
Hey Jase. This baby is beyond repair. Total loss. And like I said, this is again my dream plane because I dont have it anymore. But it was joy every second in the ait with that great plane. Oh yeah... Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
Yeah! I switched to Frsky gear and I don't crash any longer. Had the same problem with his controller, I think it's their receivers, they intermittently quite in flight.
What can you do... These things happens... And this baby was total loss. But I have saved the ESCs and EDFs and they are now working hard in Gloster Meteor. Oh yeah... Cheers my friend, Robert
Sorry to see that happen, I had a similar crash with a DC3, ,,A,, Lancaster and Spitfire, every plane had flaps deployed, and the crashes happened on my final approach turn, I now do not make the final turn with flaps down, I only deploy the flaps when the plane is on its final leg ,,, ie straight in and no more drop outs.,,,,yet.
Like you said J, but I was flying many planes with flaps and make turns and it was OK. Even with this plane. I still dont know what happened here. I just hope that I will have another someday becouse this is still my dream plane and such good flyer. Oh yeah... Cheers my friend, Robert
I’m sorry for the crash .Understand that it was your dream plane so it’s even worse to loose that. Please when captain Blush tell you to land listen to him . This would not have happened . As I see it the plane lost the power at once and dropped out of the sky in a tip stall. But is amazing how u keep calm . I would have sweared like a pig .Hope u get the opportunity to get your dream plane again ASAP.
I was so happy to see you had the Skysword back in the air and looking froward to seeing the ME262, and then disaster! Gutted for you :O( Two superb aircraft. Captain Blaz do you have a manual focus on the video camera? If you use this and set the focus to infinity it will stop the focus hunting while filming aerial shots, your excellent videos will be perfect!
I really hope that I will have this baby again someday. Its the most beautiful EDF for me... We have tried to film without autofocus but it was even worse. We will think of something. Oh yeah... Be well and see you soon, Robert
Yep, tip stall is my vote too. I know other are saying he flew that slow other times and nothing happened but that is subjective and unless you have a radar gun you really can't say for sure. Look, he is also climbing in that turn. Meaning, his plane is slowing down even more! It's pretty obvious, this crash was absolutely caused by a stall and not by some interference or transmitter failure. Sorry dude.
That had happened to me before I was flying my pt 40 and did the same thing and I found out it was the wrong receiver. The receiver was working fine but when I went out feather it was acting funny before I know it when down like a shelve.
Well you have had a bad couple of days , so things can only get better. Once again feeling your pain, hope she is not to badly damaged. Before your next flight check for Gremlins
Hey George. This time its beyond repair. Totaly crashed. We will just use it for spare parts. But like you said, things can only get better. Oh yeah... Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
Sorry you lost your plane. I think it's still in pieces in the box in your hangar. I watched that video too. I have a few "projects " like that myself.
hmm thats not good news. Strange is that the DX9 has 2 antennas, so it does not matter how you stand the plane always gets optimal reception. Maybe some other radios has antenna pointed to the left so there was a weak point on the left side of the runway
That is the thing about 2.4 , you can get a signal block from various things which don't show up on the older systems, it isn't the same thing as an interference problem from another transmitter like it was in the old days. Shame to lose an airplane, but at least now you have room for another new one in the hanger.
I watched this for the second time I might have to retract my verdict of flying slow and tip stall it looks like something else happen maybe Captain Robert is right there's some weird Voodoo over there in that side of the field. Please tell me what happened did you run out of power or you hit some sun spots
Hej Noel. Its just the way it is. But I have saved the SkySword and it is flying greta again. But ME 262 is lost. Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
Hey Josh. Not his time. It was completely crashed. Iam really sorry that I lost my dream plane. I hope that someday I will get another. Really hope. Cheers, Robert
A turn, a bit of a climb, and from the sound allowing for the distance the throttle reduced, it all combines to look like a stall Capt Robert.
I hope you can assemble all the pieces again, it certainly flies nicely on the level.
Hey Joanne. This is really dream EDF. Such a good flyer and it looks so good. But this time its gone. We will just use what is left for spare parts. Stay well and see you soon, Robert

The most dangerous words in RC flying are "One more flight" or "One more time." Those are our fatal words.
Like you said Donald. My new famous words: just one more for the viewers. And then crash ;) Cheers, Robert
Maybe also: "I'm sure this will work"
Hahaa soo true brooo, dead sticked my jet the other day cos i had to do, just one more pass hahaha
And the next question after that is, "what happened" very sad indeed captain Robert.
@@airpic5253 Vass iss diss!
My son's 64mm MiG-15 does that over by the power lines also! You taught me something with that crash. Stay away from power lines!
Found you via your P-51B video; you fellows are a riot.
It looked beautiful; the loss is such a pity. May have been asymmetric thrust with the right ESC entering low-voltage cutoff first; it couldn’t have happened at a worse time as you were pitched up and in a right bank when it snapped.
Most RC twins are unflyable with asymmetric thrust: too much roll due to yaw. The Pica Duelist was one of the rare exceptions that was manageable on a single engine.
Between wind, slowing down, flying dirty, and pulling up...it tip stalled. Too bad, happens to everyone. Good luck Slovenian brothers in RC!
If signal is lost ie brownout then the Rx should show a non flashing light, always worth checking for that at the crash scene, of course if the battery has become disconnected then this won’t apply. You guys make the best films of models in flight, keep em coming!

What a wonderful low pass and perfect filming from captain Blaž at 6:30, just perfect ej!
It really was my friend. It ended bad but what can you do ;-)
Finally bought the Me-262 and built it yesterday. Gorgeous EDF!
Finally flew the Me-262. It’s sneaky fast. Handled great. I put an AR-637T in it, so that explains the great handling. Looks good, sounds good, pretty darn fast.

It was the Spectrum radio. They have a brownout reputation.

1. Get another 262 model (DYNAM or FREEWING, they both fly equally as good, NEVER tip stall).
2. Burn the Spectrum radio system.
3. Buy a Frsky Taranus radio.
Problem solved.

this was just a normal stall, a beautyfull one by the way :-)
Yes to slow on the turn will do a stall 100%.i did a few times..anyway great flying 👍👍👍😝
So right.. flaps down slow turn tip stall
exactly the point me crashing my planes 🤣
Is it a spektrum transmitter? I've had allot of brown outs with these losing one plane and crashing a few others. I use orange now. The transmitter was a third of the price of spektrum and totally reliable.
Sorry about your loss, I know you loved that plane. I hope you can get it back!
Hey George. This time its total loss. I really hope that someday I will have a plane like this again. Cheers, robert
Adding flaps, nose up, stall, crash. Pilot error. Try mixing some down elevator with the flaps.
So sorry. It was a beautiful plane. Keep your chin up you guys are great pilots and inspirations to us all in the hobby.
What a absolute beautiful plane brother if you need another I can send you one! Just to see you take that beautiful bird back out.
Bad luck Robert.... but you keep smiling.
This is why Aeromodelling is so addictive... good days and carry home in black bag days! 😆
Thanks Simon. Somethimes you win and somethimes you lose. This time I lost. But there is still so much to try and we will just go to the next baby. Oh yeah... Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
Oh no! Since it has happen before in that area and rewatching i agree not pilot error. Ive never had this issue around power lines but I also fly with Futaba transmitter and receivers. Think Robert flys with them orange receivers, might want to try diffrent kind of receiver and send over to same area an see what happens, or just fly Futaba so no issues! Lol. But yea to bad was nice plane Robert an nice flying!
Ah well.. Character building.. Great flight though, and the ME262 was an interesting marque..
It flew really good, I think you ran out of battery and you tip stalled it. Hey you win some and you lose some. Your a great pilot and stuff happens. Pilot Robert you fly on the edge and you pushed it a little to much.
Captain Robert...we feel your pain...of the loss of this Beautiful aircraft...😣 These power lines and Microwave Antennas do interfere with electronics....I have experienced this in the automotive world.....While passing a tower with cone shaped microwave Antennas with large overhead power lines.....My Car Just Shut off at highway speed....only to restart 400 meters passed the Antenna Array.....a week later, my car shut off in the Same Damn Spot....Something in the electronic ignition was sensitive to these Antenna...Different Ending when your in the Air...There was nothing you could do....but watch..😔 This is a "No Fly Zone"...and best if avoided....Big Salute for great Flight....👍👏👏👏👏
It was a tip stall not a loss of signal
What receiver were you using?
It was Spektrum with satelite my friend.
I thought I heard the faint sound of "Taps" being played in the background @ the end. 🙏
God Speed & God Bless Pilot Robert & Cpt.Blaz
For interest - which RX was this? Latest Spektrum receivers are so much better.
Look at dis 😍. Robert it was flying so good. We had a club member flying his and same thing happen. His was ESC failure. So sorry. Awesome flying and video. 🤐😀💝
We all have that hollowed out look when this happens. Onlookers may laugh, but it is never funny for the flyer, ever. I really felt bad for the big guy.
Tip stall I think....but I have had a similar incident with plenty of speed in the turn. 2.6 ghz are not 100% fool proof, but MUCH better than the old varied Mhz channels. Still great flights!! Keep the cameras going Captain Blatz!!
Iam still wondering my friend. But what to do now. Still I had great time with this plane and I really wish to have another someday. Big salute to you from Slovenia.
Crash damage reduction kits from Killer Planes. I thought you should know. UA-cam video: Killer Planes Crashproofing (Carbon Fiber Reinforcement) will Make You Feel LIke Singing!
No tip stall. Did you listen to what Robert said on the video? "The same place where all the transmitters don't work". Happens at a lot of fields now. Nobody talks about it too much though. If it's spektrum it does a roll to the right and straight down. Been there done it. Twice. Same spot in the field. And it hasn't just happened to me at our field.
Andrew Sams man, that was certainly a tip stall, low speed, high AOA, and quite steep turn....
What a comedy play between those two!
Oh yeah my friend. We are lucky to be brothers and to share this passion.
I hope it flies better than the full scale version. Overweight, not a large enough horizontal stab, no nosewheel steering, under powered, wing incidences all wrong, and more. I believe I read just a couple months ago that the company is really hurting. Thanks for the flight review.
such funny guys, love your vids, thx for the effort
Thanks for support my friend.
Definitely looked a bit slow on that final turn. If the airflow is not moving fast enough over the control surfaces, the result is a stall. Sorry about your 262. I've made that same mistake in the past, tip stall. Hope your 262 did not suffer to much damage.
Like you said S. It was totall loss. But I have saved the ESCs and the EDFs and i have used them in my new Gloster Meteor. Oh yeah... I hope that I will have this bird again someday... Cheers my friend, Robert
Hello Pilot Robert, I have been building my ME 262 and was thinking about replacing the stock EC5 connector with a XT90. Your plane had an XT connector as well. Do you remember what connector this plane had in it? Thanks and thanks for all the great videos you and Captain Blaz post, -Waingro.
Robert, love the videos from you and your brother. That ME 262 is awesome. So, what happened to it? Was it totaled? Also, my mother in law is Macedonian. I see you both use the word Ide. My mother in laws uses that word which I think means hurry up or let's get going??? Good flying from the US...
Thanks my friend for such kind words. The bird was total loss. But I did use ESCs and EDFs in Gloster Meteor for upgrade. And we also use that word ajde which means lets go or hurry up. Big salute from Slovenia, Robert
You too Robert. Oh, by the way, I just purchased the Dynam A-10 Thunderbolt. It's ready to go, but I'm a little nervous flying it. I've been a quadcopter guy for 5 years. Started in RC planes probably when you were a kid 40 years ago. Never kept up with the hobby thus I'm a mediocre fixed wing guy... ;)
Beautiful ❤️ plane 😍 love it. oh Yeah.
Hey Cpt. Robert! Sorry for your loss. Signal loss or tip stall question? We will never know. I think it’s both. Sometimes servo mechanism freeze on their last position or travel at random extremes when receiver looses signal. Maybe after loosing signal servos just deflected and tip stalled your plane. But hey! It doesn’t matter much now... me 262 rest in “pieces”.
Oh yeah R. Like you said in pieces. But I will have this baby again someday no matter what. Thanks for stopping by and see you soon, Robert
Magnificent looking plane and totally agree it isone of my favourite jets of all time. Hope she can be salvaged and be back in the air chaps.
That could have been loss of signal. Is your transmitter a Spektrum DX18 ? There are signal loss issues with some of the early versions. A recall was issued.
We are thinking about that. I have DX9... I really hope that I will have this baby again someday. Oh yeah... Cheers, Robert
Robert Petrinčič I have not heard of signal issues with DX9, but your crash looked like the issues our club member had with DX18. I have the DX8 and DX6i and have never had signal loss. Yes, I hope it will fly again someday. Still cold and snowy here, but warm up coming.
Hey Robert
Great to hear from you mate.
Yes, after the 4 th flight of my beautiful bird, I lost signal with no response from transmitter and the aircraft just went into a sporting oval ...damage to prop ( replaced) all undercarriage removed and hole in wing (fixed)
I contacted Horizon Hobby and they sent me a new body and undercarriage ( wonderful service) cannot fly still as the nose gear is damaged with no available worldwide spares available, so will have to wait.
Regards
Noel
Hey Noel. Sorry to hear that, but you will fix it and be in the air once more. That baby really deserves that. Oh yeah... Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
This could turn in to another Yak 52, cut your losses now, if you smash this one up make sure Captain Blaz is filming this time LOL! Seriously though, sorry to see that, it looked like a very nice plane and you clearly loved it.
Hey Mick This was really my dream plane. I was watching this baby on Motion RC for a few years and finally I got oportunity to buy second hand one. It was crashed before but I was still in love from the moment I saw it for the first time. And it was such a great flyer. Pure joy watching it in the air. And I really dont know what happened here. We have lost a few planes there on exactely the same way. They just started to roll there. I did puted throtle up and elevator full to the left but no response. Or maybe it was just tip stall. But I dont believe that because I was flying with this baby at that speed and making turns and it was OK. But hey. What can I do. We will go on and who knows maybe someday I will have my baby back. Not this one, it was totaly ruined but another. So stay well my friend and see you soon, Robert
Sorry for your loss There Sr. Robert ..maybe turn , upward angle and flaps... planes don't always make it home in one piece..Have a few beers and think of the fun times !! Tomorrow is another day !!!
Hey Jo. Like you said. Since I dont drink I will just watch the video of the maiden flight. That one was perfect and a dream flight for me. The lost is bigger for me because this baby was crashed before, I bought this second hand, fixed it and it had a story behind. The soul. But this time it didnt survive and there is nothing left to fix. But maybe someday it will came back to me. I hope new one. Oh yeah... So thanks my friend and see you soon, Robert
Ouch :( I have a "Bermuda Triangle" on one of my fields too, I am still unsure if it is a problem with signal or something strange with downdraft column of air. Three crashes now in the same place within one year. It is good you "discovered" glue recently :) I hope she is OK...
Hey Georg. Its over for this baby. Even the glue will not fix this damage. But they still sell them and I hope that someday I will get another. Cheers, Robert
Looked like you got jammed. Happens when signals get hot and saturate the radio signal. We have a few spots like that at our field also. Just got to learn to avoid those spots or how to fly through them.
I was watching this old video and I've had the same problem with spektrum radios in certain areas they have interference
What a bummer! Great looking plane and i hope to see it in the air again. Unfortunately i have experieced the same sort of loss of control at a park near my house but it was due to a wifi hotspot in the same frequency range as my reciever.
I just dont know what happened here. Maybe it was my mistake, maybe it wasnt. The baby is gone and that is the fact. But hey, they still sell them and I hope that I will have another someday. Oh yeah... Cheers, Robert
Sorry about your plane. Really enjoying your videos! I solute you.
Good thing is that I have now the V2 version my friend.
Oh man !!! Sorry to see that.... stay awat from that area 😕 hope you dont get much snow !
Hey L. We all know about it but I just forgot. We have lost a few planes there and it was even worst while we were still flying 35mHz transmitters. And that mountain Gorjanci where there is TV antena and you can see it on our videos is all white today. It was caos today on our highways. Oh yeah... Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
Oh no, such great flying up until that fateful moment 😔
This was yesterday at nearly the same spot indeed when you called at 13:08: “oh no”. I think you're right Robert.
On the other hand, it also looks like a stall. This does not make it easy to find the cause. It's only possible to try another TX / RX, maybe a Futaba system? Please let me know what the damage is, I hope so bad that it's not too bad, this plane is a beauty.
Hey Louis. We all had problems there with different transmitters, so I dont know. But maybe it was just stall like you said. And this time the bird didnt survived. To much damage, I will not be able to fix this one. But now it is again my dream plane that I dont have ;) Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
How bad is it Robert? Is it repairable? I watched the final, when you said deploy flaps it started to climb while in a banked turn. Do you program some down elevator with the flaps? Now, I would take that bird under those power lines and see if it jitters while the radio is at the table. If no jitters, it must have been a tip stall. I have seen so many warbirds do that. I would try deploying flaps only after lining up the runway. I live and love to fly, but NOBODY likes to crash. But what goes up, must come down...Don't stop til you grease that landing!!!
Send it to me, I have fixed some nasty crashed planes...
Man, that stinks. At least you handled it like a man. I lost my two favorite planes a week apart a couple years ago. One was a brown out and the other was a midair crash. I contemplated quitting rc. With this hobby, you will have to learn to accept some bad luck at times. I crashed a plane yesterday. I was flying FPV on my old Eflite Apprentice. I noticed it getting slower and then it just fell out of the sky. I have had a few odd issues with the receiver so it will go in the trash. A new motor mount, a new cowl, and some glue will have the beat up Apprentice back in business. Keep your head up and keep flying.
Like you said G. If you are in this hobby you will crash a plane or two no matter what eventualy. But I had fun with this baby and maybe I will find another someday. Cheers, Robert
Wow, that jet looks so awesome in the air and I love how fast it goes!! Really sorry for your loss mate. Definitely looked like a stall but signal loss in the turn will also cause that. Have you tried Frsky gear? Might be worth a try. Hope you can fix the jet Rob. All the best mate, Jase.
Hey Jase. This baby is beyond repair. Total loss. And like I said, this is again my dream plane because I dont have it anymore. But it was joy every second in the ait with that great plane. Oh yeah... Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
Yeah! I switched to Frsky gear and I don't crash any longer. Had the same problem with his controller, I think it's their receivers, they intermittently quite in flight.
Convert to 900 or 833 Mhz and never have tx and or distance or interference problems again. Thank for the video.
Definitely Kartoffelsalat now. I am going away now to cry.
That made me chuckle. Thanks for that from Germany. Kartoffelsalat is best served with Würstchen btw. Cheers mate.
Sorry for your loss there Robert. Sure looked like a tip stall to me. Did you get her back together?
What can you do... These things happens... And this baby was total loss. But I have saved the ESCs and EDFs and they are now working hard in Gloster Meteor. Oh yeah... Cheers my friend, Robert
If I could i would replace it for you.you and your brother are an inspiration,thank you so much with love Richard from England.😀
Sorry to see that happen, I had a similar crash with a DC3, ,,A,, Lancaster and Spitfire, every plane had flaps deployed, and the crashes happened on my final approach turn, I now do not make the final turn with flaps down, I only deploy the flaps when the plane is on its final leg ,,, ie straight in and no more drop outs.,,,,yet.
Like you said J, but I was flying many planes with flaps and make turns and it was OK. Even with this plane. I still dont know what happened here. I just hope that I will have another someday becouse this is still my dream plane and such good flyer. Oh yeah... Cheers my friend, Robert
Awwww man I really feel bad for you. It was flying so well ! 😕
Good thing is that I have now V2 version.
This channel is just like that movie...you remember ??? Those Magnificent Man in Their Flying Machines ? Its a sequel !
This was sad! But I love your video's get well soon
Did the plane survive to fly again?
I’m sorry for the crash .Understand that it was your dream plane so it’s even worse to loose that. Please when captain Blush tell you to land listen to him . This would not have happened . As I see it the plane lost the power at once and dropped out of the sky in a tip stall. But is amazing how u keep calm . I would have sweared like a pig .Hope u get the opportunity to get your dream plane again ASAP.
I was so happy to see you had the Skysword back in the air and looking froward to seeing the ME262, and then disaster! Gutted for you :O( Two superb aircraft. Captain Blaz do you have a manual focus on the video camera? If you use this and set the focus to infinity it will stop the focus hunting while filming aerial shots, your excellent videos will be perfect!
I really hope that I will have this baby again someday. Its the most beautiful EDF for me... We have tried to film without autofocus but it was even worse. We will think of something. Oh yeah... Be well and see you soon, Robert
Yep, tip stall is my vote too. I know other are saying he flew that slow other times and nothing happened but that is subjective and unless you have a radar gun you really can't say for sure. Look, he is also climbing in that turn. Meaning, his plane is slowing down even more! It's pretty obvious, this crash was absolutely caused by a stall and not by some interference or transmitter failure. Sorry dude.
Yup happened to me before. That was a tip stall. Low throttle and nose up while in a turn.
That's a beautiful plane brother. I'm sorry you lost her but you will have to get another one
Like you said Tim. And if I will have another someday it will be 12 bladed. Oh yeah... Be well my friend, Robert
That had happened to me before I was flying my pt 40 and did the same thing and I found out it was the wrong receiver. The receiver was working fine but when I went out feather it was acting funny before I know it when down like a shelve.
Oh that crash hurts, such a beautiful model! I try not to fly near power lines because of that
Thanks Brandon. I hope that I will have again someday. Cheers, robert
Why did it crash? What happened?
That looks like the same funny looking pilot that came with my Dynam Albatros D-Va!!!
They are all alike ;) Except Saburo Sakai... Cheers, Robert
Well you have had a bad couple of days , so things can only get better. Once again feeling your pain, hope she is not to badly damaged. Before your next flight check for Gremlins
Hey George. This time its beyond repair. Totaly crashed. We will just use it for spare parts. But like you said, things can only get better. Oh yeah... Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
is it Goring?
Sorry you lost your plane. I think it's still in pieces in the box in your hangar. I watched that video too. I have a few "projects " like that myself.
Well, I have now the V2 version. And I have used the EDFs and ESCs from this baby on my Gloster jet.
Oh, so sorry to see that. That was a wing tipstall, not a transmitter issue. This is real modeling without editing
HondAttila it is interesting that this spot were happened a lot of bad things happens a lot..i have also crashed the plane on the same spot ;(
hmm thats not good news. Strange is that the DX9 has 2 antennas, so it does not matter how you stand the plane always gets optimal reception. Maybe some other radios has antenna pointed to the left so there was a weak point on the left side of the runway
HondAttila i dont know what happened we will have to get away from that spot...
will it ever fly again?
That is the thing about 2.4 , you can get a signal block from various things which don't show up on the older systems, it isn't the same thing as an interference problem from another transmitter like it was in the old days. Shame to lose an airplane, but at least now you have room for another new one in the hanger.
I watched this for the second time I might have to retract my verdict of flying slow and tip stall it looks like something else happen maybe Captain Robert is right there's some weird Voodoo over there in that side of the field. Please tell me what happened did you run out of power or you hit some sun spots
Looked like you were nose high, down wind and at low power....sorry for your loss, SALUTE!
Oh dear, so sorry my friend that you have lost two aircraft recently Robert!
R.I.P.
Hej Noel. Its just the way it is. But I have saved the SkySword and it is flying greta again. But ME 262 is lost. Be well my friend and see you soon, Robert
You done good I was waiting on you to start crying I would have lol
Ahhh man. That is a shame. Hopefully she is repairable!
Hey Josh. Not his time. It was completely crashed. Iam really sorry that I lost my dream plane. I hope that someday I will get another. Really hope. Cheers, Robert
I hope you get another as well. Very beautiful plane yes!
