CRASH + SAVE! Lior in Dubai

[@PopalongRC]

Man that was a CLOSE call!! Well done for getting this beautiful aircraft back safely!! Great footage Martin!!

[@i3dm]

thank you

[@TwoBrosRC]

Now that's what I call a flaperon.

[@vgrof2315]

Bravo! Good recovery! To bad we had to be subjected to that jackass music.

Lol 😂

GREAT save !! That wing was ready to give up for a second.

[@i3dm]

thank you

[@Coops777]

Awesome video. Great save! A very beautiful model.

[@GlenD1977]

Some serious piloting skills bringing that in like that! Awesome job!

[@i3dm]

thanks

[@DjArity]

Thanks for the video. Watching in slow motion i can't tell if the jet was behind the signs or not, cause it would appear to be flying on top the field. So what hit ?

[@daviddavids2884]

at 4:07, model was beyond the 'signs'. then it went through the last one.

[@richarddarlington1139]

He was definitely behind AND below the signs, a big, fat no-no in R/C flying. Pilot error!

[@DadsRCHangar]

That’s crazy the canopy went as well. Was a very pro flight and great emergency landing. Great video, Happy new year Martin.

[@i3dm]

thank you

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Yeah, still not sure what made the canopy blow as the fuselage didnt hit… happy new year mate!

[@mattyt82]

Awesome composure after that! Do these run gyros? As it looked to be over compensating during the flight, with a bit of wing wiggle during the four point roll and other sharpe rolls?

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

@lior can answer that one best

[@gibranhamed3528]

What did he hit?

[@TheBoz1911]

Looked like a sign

[@BillCranford]

@@TheBoz1911 yup. Last sign in the row 4:06 1/4 speed you can see it

[@i3dm]

last banner pole. was higher than the others

[@acehydra1812]

I'm so glad the plane was saved

[@TheBoz1911]

Tough wing, great recovery !!

[@i3dm]

thank you

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Absolutely!

[@Zhengergiser]

This reminds me of when you damage a wing on a plane in GTA San Andreas, it starts shaking exactly like what's seen here. Never thought it was realistic, but here we are!

[@Michael.Chapman]

Engineers call that flapping phenomenon 'flutter'. In severe cases it can shake an aircraft apart. The first 747-100's had inherent flutter during certain flight tests. From memory, this was solved by placing weights of depleted uranium (very dense like lead) in the wing tips. In this case here did the Viper hit the runway or was the wing overstressed on pull-up?

[@Zhengergiser]

@@Michael.Chapman You're right. I just thought that wing flutter would occur at a much higher frequency than how they portrayed it in GTA SA. On other aircraft when flutter occurs, the frequency tends to be quite high, and structural failure occurs within seconds of it starting. Very lucky that it wasn't the case for this jet!

[@yodaiam1000]

@@Michael.Chapman It is generally fixed with a tuned mass damper. It is a mass, a spring and a viscous damper. The wing lost a bunch of vertical stiffness due to the damage of the collision which causes the flutter.

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

That was one hell of a save. 👍🏻💪🏻

[@bobturner3388]

@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC yes, I saw that at the end of the video! I commented on this video because I watch many videos that you fly and one of the videos you claimed it had been several years since you've last crashed(unbelievable)! Martin, I wouldn't ever have called that bottom strike "a crash"!:

[@teamfutabaspeedfresh8339]

Hey, I got the 32MZ too. Now 16IZ my 32MZ had a baby last Monday

[@XtremeRCNG]

wow! great save to watch! The viper appeared to be flying nose heavy or maybe out of trim.

[@i3dm]

thank you. yes it was a bit nose heavy

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Was probably the gyro lol

[@krotchlickmeugh627]

@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC it looked very much like the gyro. Especially on the rudder and elevator.

4:07

[@AerospaceMatt]

Holy Raviolli that was close! Great save man! If it was me flying it would have been a goner. I don’t know too much about Turbine aircraft. Is it repairable or will you need to make a new wing?

[@i3dm]

its repairable

[@jackmehoffer1037]

Get a aerobatic plane if you want to do stunts. That’s a jet

[@XxmillerniaxX]

banner pole

[@Wonky4925]

BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@i3dm]

thank you

[@richarddarlington1139]

Yeah, I have a rule about that. Always maintain some sky between obstacles and my plane. And the runway's centerline is my hard wall. No closer. Never fly directly towards the pits/crowd. Okay, several rules.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Good life rules, I tend to agree to seeing sky unless very clear you are well on inside/outside of an obstacle, Lior I am sure would too but he just had too much fun lol

[@richarddarlington1139]

@@MartinPickering-PickeringRC How you doing, Martin? I was fortunate enough to have been trained by two accomplished pattern pilots. They taught me well. I am increasingly concerned about people who are "self-taught." They are teaching themselves bad habits, much to the detriment to the hobby as a whole. ...And then they post it on You Tube. I see this with "how-to-build" videos as well (sigh). Now, go build something!
