OMG Curtiss JN-4 Jenny This giant rc plane was shot down by a bird, details, flight and crash #rcplanes #rcairplanes #rc #flight #crash #giantscale #omg #realistic

BTW - the bird passed between the camera and the plane. The plane stalled.

[@robertoandrada]

That wasn’t the bird. The bird is far from the airplane and not even in the flight path. It seems like the airplane stalled

[@tedsmith6137]

I saw no sign of a bird strike. Whatever the cause, sad to see it go down but not as badly damaged as I expected.

[@JBroezel]

Wow.. Fortunately it wasn't a total loss. Nevertheless it will cost many hours to get it back t its former glory..

[@busabrye]

Beautiful build

[@CarlosChavez-gs1ld]

Looks like standard wing stall due to low airspeed. The motor was revving high for most of the flight, and then could almost not be heard (guessing very low RPM- more or less idle motor speed) for the last many seconds of the flight. A VERY draggy airplane like this needs SOME throttle all the time, unless you have a very nose down attitude and are doing all you can to loose as much Altitude as possible- coming in for a landing is NOT that.. you need to keep SOME reasonable power going, or you will loose too much airspeed. That did not look like a bird- like at all. Not sure what it was, but that was not a bird.

Great model

Yess....the bird...and I am ironman.!

[@shop970]

Very poor approach. Over powered flight. Bird had nothing to do with it. R/C pilot all the way to the ground. Loss of signal?

[@deanedeane4318]

That's bullsht about the bird but such a shame about the plane .......😒😎

[@user-se8zk2vj4h]

Your not wrong there the bird was no where near the plane

[@SpookySpencerFinnLoki]

Looked like wake turbulence from the bird😉

[@Panzerhauptman]

Was the bird an Albatros?

[@JB73691]

It was the wake created by the bird lol

[@jamesratliff5164]

Ouch. I have never lost one to a bird strike. Bad luck. My first ever plane was a P40 Flying Tiger. By the time I learned how to fly it, it was was mostly plastic cement.

[@melcrose]

I just want to know who trained a bird to shoot a plane out of the sky. That's the real story.

[@mattiasjohansson7231]

Tipstall

[@darrenoliverio7259]

the plane exceeded critical angle of attack and no airspeed, bird my ass.

[@AlwaysRight1111]

I think we found the least athletic people in the world

[@lucar.923]

The bird did nothing, they say the model wasn't reacting anymore to the commands.
