Big Mitsubishi Zero Fighter RC Plane lost in the fog then crashed

It was sad to see this beautiful Zero go down in hundred pieces. But things happen, especially in the condition like this morning, which was so so foggy...

There's no way I would have flown such a beautiful scale plane like that, in those foggy conditions. Something smaller, cheaper and less effort went into it, sure, but NOT that Zero! But I get it, sometimes we want to fly that plane so bad, we take risks and think to ourselves, "Eh, it will be fine". In my early years in the hobby, I thought like that and lost at least a couple planes for it. I once wanted to fly so bad, I took a 40 sized trainer out to the field and flew it in 40 MPH wind gusts. Got it back down just fine, but HOLY COW! Needless to say, I was the only one at the field that day flying, so at least I had the entire field to myself for a day.

I flew in a couple of fog conditions just like yours but luckily, I was able to get my T-28 as well as my P-51 to reappear. But they truly are heart-pounding moments.

Unlike you, my friend was not in luck this time. We could only hear the plane. When it appeared, it was about 5 metres above the ground.

He was so sad and I did not even see him at the field for a while.

[@nikesb9420]

That must be heartbreaking

Plot twist: He came back with an F22 Raptor

[@vicyboy12]

What model is this? Cy or toprc?

[@rcsofun3497]

I believe it's a TopRC but not 100% sure.
