[@zeogiannes]

Great show! Laughed heartily, thank you!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank you for watching Monique! Greetings, Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thanks for watching sheila, yes, you are right. But flip overs are part of the entertainment. See for more videos @ ScaleJetfred channel Regards Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Will do, thanks for the visit to ScaleJetFred. Greetings from Ireland, Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hallo Capitain.....! I like your comment! These have been taken in Ireland keep watching my postings, some have been recorded in Irelandwith such background you like! Regards from Dublin, Fred

Attack of the crash guitar song!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank you for watching one of my 150 videos on ScaleJetFred! Greetings from Ireland, fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

These are fantasy home design planes made from foam. Plenty of these are flown at shows flying together. Usual copies of traffic signs (STOP sign) Powered by a .40/46 size Methanol engine (6.5 ccm) Regards Fred

[@peavyrocks]

Great video. A real blast from the past!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thanks Boston Parker! Happy New Year from ScaleJetFred

[@mountaindewdude76]

I watched the entire video. That's a great collection of mishaps. Its always a shame to see a gorgeous plane crash, but it's a part of the hobby.

[@ryandoe11]

Look at the size of those freaking antennAs!!! Glad I'm part of this generations Rc flying, but you guys did get us here so thanks

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Ryan, I like your observation. We still have 2 of 35 using 35 MHz equipment with long Transmitter aerials. And of cause the Marine colleges with their 40 MHz equipment for Submarines...Thanks for watching and taking time to comment

[@ScaleJetFred]

Merci for watching, Fred

[@WizzRacing]

I see a recurring theme with the Gee Bees. They like to mellon roll on landing!! Great Stuff

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Claude, You are correct! However, the supplier has changed the position of the undercarriage forward. This improved landings, but not for the less experienced! Greetings, Fred ScaleJetFred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi William, Thanks for commenting! We have purchased a flying field in Roundwood Co Wicklow, Ireland. Our runways (3) are 12 meter wide and 180 meter long! we converted a swamp, so the r- ways are grass but well maintained . Size of land is 19 acres. I have a video about the planning and convertion of this land on my KZbin channel - see for yourself. Regards Fred ScaleJetFred: kzbin.info

The GeeBee Racers had a very short and colourful life but did in fact reach super speeds for the time. Lovely flying site.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Bob Webber! Yes it is a nice site in the Wicklow mountains in Ireland. If you are interested in the GeeBee: on my "ScaleJetFred" channel are two videos posted among the 140 other ones of a full size replica flown by Delmar Benjamin at an airshow in Michelstadt - Germany. Thanks for your visit! Greetings from Dublin, Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Depending on structure - plan and or plan correctly followed or pilot kapability. In between are technical problems like wrongly charged on board batteries. Importent is to construct and fly a model as if you are to travel in it yourself! Fred

[@kkteutsch6416]

At 7:10 the flying pancakes !

[@urbanfox53]

Very good, and no pilot error what so ever of course!.

[@YummyMercury]

these Gee Bee crashes are all for added realism

[@ScaleJetFred]

Yes! it is supplied by KZbin in the music collection f/o/c Regards Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thanks Frederick for your appropriate comment! I am glad you enjoyed the show when visiting my channel https:kzbin.info Regards, Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi K en! Great you found and watched my video. You are of cause correct. If yo go to my KZbin ScaleJetFred channel you find 2 postings I recorded of an replica being flown in germany 2001 by Delmar Benjamin. At some stage Delmar tied to land (not planned!) and hit the concrete edge with the left wheel and just about managed to stop the GeeBee from flipping over! He was lucky and knew it - shotly after he presented this replica to a museum for static display. I was very lucky to see it fly and talk to Delmar. Greetings, Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hallo Mark, it is nice to see your comment! Not every day and not all members used to have such problems. In time and with better equipment great improvements made it safer for the models! Mind you, not everybody improved enough.... A new flying site helped is well: www.rwmac.ie Regards Fred ScaleJetFred: kzbin.info

[@billblack5041]

Those Gee Bees just look hard to fly.... it's far cheaper for me to watch someone else try to land it! Nice video and thanks

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Bill! you are correct! If you are interested in the GeeBee: I was invited to video THE original GeeBee when flying in a display in Germany. on the first day a 2close shave" nearly ended the plans life but only one u/C leg got bent. 2 video sare on my "ScaleJetFred" channel. you are welcome. Regards Fred

Hi Big Jim Flying, It is nice to read your comment! if you like more RC videos, come back to my ScaleJetFred channel! Greetings from Ireland Fred

[@fredbeard1277]

FAB STUFFFFFFFFFFF

[@romancohort8502]

The Runway is way to short for those larger scale models, it cause pilots to make swift mistakes

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thanks for watching and sorry about the musik. As it is embedded I can not remove ti, but I learned my lesson! Fred

[@av8tore71]

Person who was narrating sounded like an actor who's name I cannot remember but I can see him. Grrrr this will haunt me for the rest of the day!!!

[@ScaleJetFred]

HiAv8tore, thanks for visiting my channel with 149 videos. I like your comment because it is myself! Taken the video, editing and in the beginning narrating the video's. Thanks and greeting from a German who's home is Dublin Ireland since 1970.

[@michaelclark4043]

Any landing where you get the plane down in one piece counts as a good landing!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Indeed Michael! Happy New Year from Dublin, Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Some where builders or suppliers material selection and instructions. Fred

[@michaelclark4043]

It's not the rapid descent that hurts it's the sudden stop at the end.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Michael Clark! Thanks for the visit to my ScaleJetFred channel on KZbin. Greetings from Ireland, Fred

[@metalwizard23]

These are your top guns? I wanna fly with you guys We all have a bad day at the field... Thanks for posting this

[@ScaleJetFred]

the music is free from youtube Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank You for your comment mountaindewdude 76! Me be you like to see the other 2 clips I hace on my ScaleJetFred KZbin channel: Crash 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmPFm2ujgtOCrMU Crash 3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnm2nXmgbbSaeZY Vegas They are not absolutely the same, but still fun to see if the planes you see crash are not your own! Regards Fred

GREAT BIPLANE CRASH!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank you for the visit to my ScaleJetFred KZbin channel containing 140 mostly RC related video. Sorry for the delayed answer, KZbin hat some Comments hidden for 12 month!! Hoping to see you again and Greetings from Ireland! Fred

[@Penekamp11]

Those Gee Bee planes were notoriously unwieldy and killed a lot of pilots back in the 30’s.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thanks for your visit to my ScaleJetFred channel and greetings from Dublin Ireland! Fred

[@steby123]

Love the GB racing planes ,BUT they don't seem to like landing right side up at all!

[@ScaleJetFred]

i like your humor steby123! Thanks for your visit! Fred

[@triplanelover]

so the Reliant was rebuilt; how were the struts anchored to wing and fuselage I wonder? I have always had both in hardwood bolted and 2 hour epoxy, works great

[@ScaleJetFred]

The builder/pilot followed instructions without any change of material supplied or added.... Thanks for your comment. Happy X Mas, Fred

[@nigelperren5714]

There's something about crashes, I suppose the risk of crashing is the lynch pin of what makes these things exciting, I genuinely feel for the owners! Especially the high spec models, I don't own or fly any model planes, if I had some of these planes I would be so worried about crashing them I wouldn't be able to cope!! You'd see a grown man cry I reckon!!!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Nigel, thank you for your nice comment. I pass it on to the pilot. I fly models since 1960 and had feelings like you loosing a plane. and I did because I am a self thought modeller without help and guidance at first . to day I begin preparations to fly my oldest and most liked large plane. The 24 kg 3.5 meter span crop duster powered by a 5 cylinder radial gas engine did its first flight of many 1998! Two repairable mishaps did take place...- 2 videos about it are posted on my ScaleJetFred channel Greetings from Ireland

[@Ken-fw9dh]

Don't feel responsible for flipping the Gee Bee Racer. I doubt any modeller has ever landed one of these monsters well. The original killed it's pilot! Good Luck and lots of lumpy air.

[@ScaleJetFred]

You are correct Claude! I understand that the supplier Fiber Classics did change the position of the U/C later. however, the GB still needs an pilot with fast reaction to acheive a proper and safe landing. Fred kzbin.info

[@joshe1226]

glimpse by u bumming

[@fredbeard1277]

THAT IS SAD

[@dr1llb1t8]

near the end that was an outstanding rebuild when the wings folded and everybody was looking at a pile of toothpicks trying to figure out the point of failure. uhhhhh duhhhh

[@Musterhund]

the question is not, if the model crashes down, but when!

[@RudyNortz]

The music... detracts from the video.

[@steby123]

GB means ground breaking.

[@ScaleJetFred]

I like your commentsteby123! Will tell the builder / pilot who is still active in our Roundwood County Wicklow flying club. Did you see any other video on my ScaleJetFred channel with 145 mainly RC related video's? Happy XMas and greetings, Fred

[@davidb4557]

The guy that came back 1 year after the last crash, an a new construction, then crashed again. So sorry buddy.

[@ScaleJetFred]

I tell him when to morrow I will see him. Thanks for watching and the comment. see more videos&less crashes atthe ScaleJetFred youtube channel

[@Graff-Art]

Not the first time I've seen struts detach due to weak construction methods.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank YOU for watching and for your nice comment! Greetings, Fred ScaleJetFred: kzbin.info

[@trustenbaker8766]

@ 2:17 you see the guy on the left holding the controller white shirt. And the guy on the right in the red shirt pointing out something to him on that controller, then he takes off. I could of told you by the age of the two men and what they were doing it was going to go wrongly. lol

[@ScaleJetFred]

That was in the very beginning of Jet powered RC flying, still controlled with 35 MHz Radios. The plane before taking off was checked and O.K. To day RC has greatly improved

[@frederickbeard7749]

that is saddddd use some ply.......fab

[@guitarcleveland]

That poor Gee Bee

12:25 this is what happens when you put the CoG on the Z-axis and not the X-axis!!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Indeed Perry! Thanks for watching and your observation, Fred

[@fredbeard1277]

[@richardsimpson3136]

11:58 What happened there? Total WIPE OUT!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Bad construction plans or bad builder...

[@davidlees9096]

This is WY I stik to RC cars

[@ScaleJetFred]

Clever David! I do both and it makes me happy! Greetings from Dublin Ireland, Fred

[@richardsimpson3136]

Why do these GUYS have to LAND so QUICKLY? FEATHER IT IN! Slow as possible!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Richard, the speed depends on the model weight vs wing area as well as pilot experience and RC equipment used. Thank you for the visit. You can see 140 RC videos on my ScaleJetFred KZbin channel! Greetings from Dublin, Fred

[@stevelee7766]

If 95% of these pilots could fly , we wouldn't be watching these videos .

[@ScaleJetFred]

May be Steve Lee! Thanks for your visit to my ScaleJetFred channel and greetings from Dublin Ireland! Fred

[@endwood]

Very entertaining indeed, most should not have gone beyond their high wing trainers!!!:-

[@johnwhodat8135]

Gravity wins everytime.

[@ScaleJetFred]

And mistakes either during construction aor indeed piloting. Thanks for the visit to my channel with 140 mainly RC related videos. Greetings, Fred

[@simonvaughan788]

The worrying thing is theres a good chance some of these enthusiasts are probably real pilots, ps flying model 737max 8 would make it more realistic..

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Simon! Most of these clips have been taken at times when RC equipment was not as reliable as to day. I can assure you that none of these pilots where/are also commercial pilots... Thank you for the visit. You can see 140 RC videos on my ScaleJetFred KZbin channel! Greetings from Dublin, Fred

[@azzir325]

15 minute video and half or more of it is stopped motion or still photos. Not worth watching.

[@jamesbonde4470]

So, do you want your money back?

[@michelgilormini2709]

Beaucoup devraient voler avec un calmato. La plupart sont des pilotes dangereux qui ne maîtrise pas leur modèle probablement au dessus de leur niveau.

[@pat14162]

Je partage totalement cette remarque... très juste !!!

[@deauteur1616]

How difficult must it be to build a proper undercarriage?

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi de amateur! Very few modellers are constructing an undercarriage themself . Many different suppliers have wide variety U/C for sale in different sizes and made from, Carbon resin or metal. Retracting ones can be obtained powered by compressed air or, to day more so, are electricbattery powered. Thank you for visiting my channel with 144 mainly R/C related videos. Greetings from Ireland, Fred

[@frederickbeard7749]

no prangggggggggggggggggggggggggggggs

[@sheiladelaney6706]

Flip overs don't count.

[@MrBioniclefan1]

still a crash because flipping a plane upside down will still do damage to the plane. Back in the 1990's a pilot had a landing mishap in a Bf-109 G-2/Trop and he flipped it and it damaged the plane.

[@marcorichter1840]

GRAPHIC CONTENT: Pride and wallets were subjected to serious injury in the making of this video. No Cavan folks suffered... ...... as they're too tight-arsed to participate.

Hi Roman, some have to make the best wth what they can get - unfortunately. I do have good news: Our Roundwood County Wicklow RC Flying field has 3 strips 180meter long. Thanks for visiting htps://kzbin.info Greetings and best wishes to you for 2016! Fred

[@SKYWALKERD]

just reply to the comments omfg:))

[@tiny180]

I know this is old but fuck some these plains are a lot of money do they put insurance on them dose anyone know

[@gertnood]

One day we will see evidence of someone landing an RC Gee Bee without a nose-over.. I guess it must happen but it doesn't make the videos.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Very seldom gertnood! Thanks for the visit of my channel with 144 videos, most RC flying Greetings from Ireland, Fred

[@michaelclark4043]

Even the most seasoned pilots become victims of some unforseen force which cause them to make unscheduled landings.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Unfortunately Michael Clark! Thanks for the visit to one of my 150 -mainly RC - videos Greetings from Dublin p.s. most clips where recorded at Calary neat the Sugarloaf mountain near Dublin and bear Roundwood county Wicklow where we fly since 2006 Fred

[@LEESODANO]

99% of what I saw , it was the pilots fault cannot fly .

[@ConvairDart106]

Come on Fred. the music killed it right away! What in the hell is wrong with airplane noise anyway? It would sure fit better than than the shit music you chose. I made the 11 second mark. Yeah, I could mute it but, it is much easier to skip and watch actual video/sound, as it was recorded.

[@ScaleJetFred]

I am very sorry ConvairDart! It is too late to revers the musik - I wish I could. Thank you for the visit to my ScaleJetFred channel! you find 140 videos about RC
