On the edge of stall for this RC Airliner on landing approach !

[@edhage374]

Looks like an experienced builder,but i have my questions about his flying!!...glad it ended well!!..thanks for sharing Dom!

[@mikeonb4c]

Never raised the gear, no flaps on landing, unstabilised approach both in pitch and direction, amazing it didn't tip stall at that AoA, possibly C of G too far aft. In the hands of a competent pilot this plane should be rock steady on approach. How on earth are pilots like that flying at public displays. Its as though the model world is stuck back at Farnborough 1952, where the viewing public just accepts the risk. Not good.

[@JeffinTD]

Looked pretty pitch unstable on climb out too. Possibly tail heavy was my thought too. Still, that approach…

[@ryanlight1013]

Guy flying sucks

[@EnfieldNo4]

Pilot 😂😂 It’s a bloke flying a radio controlled model. Unless he is very tiny.

[@mikeonb4c]

@@EnfieldNo4 noun 1. a person who operates the flying controls of an aircraft. So he's a pilot, ok? ;-)

[@capnhardway]

With that flare and landing? That almost stall was staged, very talented pilot indeed..

[@eastdave2]

Maybe somebody who shouldn't be flying in public!

[@Deadzone2024]

Looks a little bit under powered. Very nice build all the same.

[@wladimirrezende1475]

I'm scared to see a pilot flying a scale giant plane without using the rudder correctly.

[@jeffpiatt3879]

He got rudder in at the last minute but it was close!

[@chuckhoward3626]

What rudder? - it can wallering out of the sky like a sewer lid.

[@TheBillzilla]

It's a jet - the rudder is for keeping the yaw under control with an engine out or steering on the ground.

[@moehoward01]

​@@TheBillzillaAnd for coordinated turns.

[@TheBillzilla]

@@moehoward01 Not in a real jet aeroplane.

[@1977curt]

That’s a huge model crj200?, crazy landing and a tail strike saved by the grass runway.

[@danielhoffmann67]

At 02:28 you can see that some of the people behind the fence run away. This was a very dangerous landing. Never approach towards the crowd !

[@weasel3720]

@2:25 dudes left granny to fend for herself 😂🤣

[@paulpaulsen7777]

So wonderful and amazing and impressive. Well done everybody from builder, pilot, cameraman ❤

[@geordienufc3132]

That's really bad when you can't even line up on the runway that's as wide as that one

[@MrWagner528]

Way to much plane for that pilot's skill level.

[@alexmcmeekin2658]

If this was a public entry meeting I'd be seriously worried if I were the organiser! And if I were flightline director I'd be requesting that pilot to come and interview as to what he was doing before letting him fly again! Some of the flying at these public access events is frankly appalling! Yeah as modellers we all make mistakes from time to time but events like that are not a place to make them, or even be at risk of them!

[@sideshowbob5237]

Completely agree. On a grassy field with a few aeromodellers present: fair enough. But for a public display: seriously under-powered and other issues to be resolved when that's sorted out.

[@putzytart]

If I'm the organiser or flightline director of an event and I see that, you aren't flying again no matter what the excuse is.

[@jackmehoffer7819]

Calm down Yeager!

[@yintontiddlyipo]

This guy shouldn't be flying a t a public show. He has a model he doesn't know because it's had 2 or 3 flights. The C of G is too far back, and he doesn't know what a rudder is for. Do not take an unflown model to a public show.

[@brentnorman6848]

That approach was looking good but then it changed to scary. It looks like rudder the wrong way. A few people decided it was getting too close and made a run for it. This looks like a great event with some amazing models that you won't find anywhere else.

[@ficosk8]

Awesome model and very nice flight!!!! For sure it isn’t easy to fly. It looks like if it is very pitch sensitive and also looks like if the wind is gusty. Everything perfect 👌🏼

[@JakeBullit123]

Run Forrest run!!!

[@pixeldude1335]

Bei 2:30 rennen zwei Angsthasen davon. Ich wäre glaub auch in Deckung gegangen. 🥵

[@richardschindler8822]

That was one heck of a landing. But it worked out well.

[@seandelaney8639]

whats with approaching the runway at like a 45 degree angle? the wind? if not then wtf. even if the wind was off, he could have crabbed. also, I would think such a large craft would respond to inputs more slowly. this looks just all over the place. maybe the sensitivity is dialed up? personally I try not to use excessive inputs. practice approaches and touch-and-goes so you don't kill somebody

[@fowrunnah]

This pilot needs training asap!

[@prussiaaero1802]

Needs to stick to building only.

[@hifinsword]

I may not have the right perspective on my computer, but the line-up for the approach went way off centerline in close, and descending way early to the field, not the runway. A good approach line-up and glide slope has always been important for a good landing. This approach seems very worthy of a missed approach and go-around for a second try!

[@jimsoque4380]

True dat’, and with JUST one wing length away from the 6’ chain link fence (according to the shadows!) I would have to agree with you, missed approach and go ‘round.

[@diversherwood9631]

Run everybody!

[@HolgerHerdtle]

Man muss auch mit dem Flugmaterial umgehen können, das man in die Luft bringt, vor allem bei Flugtagen. Hier war viel Glück im Spiel. Der RC-Pilot ist hier nicht routiniert.

[@dhouse-d5l]

Gawd. Didnt see flaps down either.

[@roversgonemad]

I see a number of these videos where it appears some wealthy German fellow has built a very nice plane, but then flies like he’s new to the hobby. The people running in the pit area!!

[@txkflier]

Builders can’t fly..

[@hifinsword]

This one in this video can't, but it's not true as a general rule. Each RC pilot is different. Some can build and fly well. Some can fly and not build, and some can build but not fly well as shown here. And some cannot do either well.

[@BenErikNess]

The distance between the flightline and rhe spectaters are waaaay to small. A fence will contribute to injury when a large airliner like this one day slams into the fence... It's a disaster waiting to happen...

[@Sometungsten]

9.26.24 There is so much wrong here and with the practice of flying models the size of Volkswagens becoming common, something bad is on the horizon.

[@nikmotionmix]

Crazy dude thought! Actually, he's a good pilot a bad one would have crashed it for sure!

[@JM1701ABCD]

The pop ups for your merch and other videos ruined the last part of the video. Cant see the landing.

[@PeakTorque]

Standard Ryanair

[@jimsoque4380]

It’s not a Sukoi, it’s a jet liner man, and flying straight on the first approach would have put you still on the runway, kept you out of the corn, and with better airspeed for a long landing! Next time don’t panic Don, and good for you for getting her down in one piece! Again, lots of runway to call for the Long Landing.

[@ianr7176]

Bit of a underwear changing moment and bet we all had them at some point and makes ya better pilot, probably would have had a better approach though goin from camera angle ,still thanks for sharing, looks great flying

[@jakeclauson9863]

😱 sketch af. Onlookers must of been clenched tighter than ducks arse. Congrats on the 800k subs dom!! 👏👏👏 you'll be up to a mill before you know it

[@Bent_Wing_Brewer]

Someone was never taught how to go around from a bad approach

[@David-yy7lb]

Flaps would have helped to avoid a near stall

[@billbright1755]

Say Yes to the World 🌎

[@EssentialRC]

What are you talking about ?!

[@gernottimm4549]

Needs a few clicks on the elevator down trim and the c.g. set further forward.

[@Sirbadone]

TO me he simply showed off his plane to the crowd, tucked her back, and put her down 😅

[@extrem55-uo6su]

Hauptsache Jet..es gibt Leute die sollten erst einmal anständig fliegen lernen.DER hier sollte erst mal lernen und AUF KEINEN FALL vor Zuschaeuern fliegen...no way..

[@BryanClementi]

Isn't the CRJ200 always on the edge of stall? 😁

[@Motodave82]

The plane looked under powered

[@indepviewpt]

Little bit of luck never hurts. OMG.

[@Electrowave]

Great save, phew! Is this a beginner pilot?

[@ChockHolocaust]

Erm... Flaps?

[@sal98]

I feel anyone flying large scale aircraft shouldn't have the need to stand behind the plane on takeoff, that's what students to rc would do because of there unfamiliarity with looking at the plane flying towards them yet. Also the plane took forever to take off either because of it being out of trim or doesn't have the appropriate power. Also yanking on the sticks of any model is a complete nono. Kills me that anyone with money can fly, But to allow them to fly in public is crazy.

[@douglasslayback3441]

The best seats for viewing are those closest to the action…and whether it’s a pilot or equipment issue, things happen…unfortunately. A 1/3 scale 150lb military jet doing a high speed pass at 5ft will quickly pass through that chain link fence. I guess it’s all about risk tolerance 🫣

[@andrerovigatti9997]

Great model ! Scary change of runway on landing !

[@robertgore8911]

That's how the DEI pilots fly the real ones!

[@geostomp]

If you have money in the stock market you can land in the parking lot.

[@nickcaci7238]

That’s a tail strike! That’s got to maintenance for a complete structural examination. An unstabilized approach will lead to poor landings.

[@motomazzo]

You know when a dude is bent over his transmitter like that, he is completely behind the aircraft. Being hunkered over is the first step towards kneeling and praying…..

[@DontWatchProductions]

In his defense, he had a pretty hat.

[@scable-eq7bp]

It didn't look like he had the landing flaps fully extended, plus lack of rudder input, glad he was able to get on the ground in one piece and no spectators were hurt.........

[@silent1967]

Seen this more than once at the RC field. I seen dudes in their 70's dive under tables like teenagers but came out from under them slowly, banged up and cussing.😂

[@MWall711]

ATC to pilot: Possible pilot deviation. We have a number for you to call once you taxi to the gate.

[@alf699]

He should not be flying this at an official Show with a lot of public visitors around. His piloting skills are not up to scratch.

[@VipiModel-nk3ce]

This happen when a person has a lot of money but no experience flying rc planes

[@JohnSmith-ue3xm]

Nice plane but 3D flying a giant scale passenger jet around spectators is not recommended

[@megabike67]

I think the pilot needs to go back to more stick time on a trainer. Probably a case of too much time building and not enough time on the sticks.

[@ricardoroberto7054]

These models are getting bigger and heavier. There is going to be a fatality and then it will become heavily regulated and ruin it for everyone else.

[@memememe2674]

This shows the mind set of save your self, the guy was up and moving with no apparent card for the guys near him

[@Yumbutteredsausage]

That was excellent flying, even the old girl sitting there had faith, the younger dudes 💩 theyselves 😂

[@MarkusPilot77]

Back to flying school.... If he ever attemted one🤦

[@sphinx12tt]

This person should go back on a trainer he is not ready for big airplanes

[@Darren.n.RCvids]

There are good r/c plane builders & good r/c plane pilots but not always good r/c plane builders who are good pilots, See them jump from their chairs,lolol

[@Rookiesaviation]

Back to foamies for that pilot

[@lasersbee]

EEK !!!

[@iansummers6945]

Phew, bit of brown trouser there! Great save.. 👏

[@jaygraves2661]

Some people have way more money than skill..

[@roxximusik8958]

On full-screen, that hairy approach looked truly awesome ! Did you notice 'awning guy' still sitting completely unfazed, unlike his two friends ? Wunderbar...

[@NJ-on3pn]

Am choosing not to fly on that airline - discount baggage rates and snacks or not!

[@billweston6579]

It’s classic of these RC pilots. They spend months and months building these aircraft. But don’t practice their flying skills. End result is this.

[@Paul-pb3vq]

Watched a video few years ago he builds real scale jets nearly everything works include a fully detailed cockpit with instruments lit up. Absolutely fantastic. But this man can really fly, every thing he does is amazing.

[@vittoriobacchiega9118]

The escape of people under the tent 😅

[@mustangsandwich]

Nice model and a great save!!!

[@SR-bh5jd]

I’ve flown on a smaller version.

[@aviathor]

Looks very unstable

[@oldschoolmotorsickle]

Well, he got away with it. I think only airspeed saved that precipitous drop on final.

[@GibsonAviation]

great save at the end.

[@nigelcant491]

Run ! For your life now !!!!

[@crashnburnin]

Wow. And not the good kind.

[@Xmtq3000]

It was so bad he actually looked like he knew what he was doing!

[@albertpoon4356]

Too pitch sensitive?

[@Swaggerlot]

More to it than just piloting skills I'd suggest.

[@kingsleykronkk3925]

2.28 That old dude is stooped over with delayed reactions way behind the plane and not ahead of it mentally. Airshows full size and RC bring out these one hour a year pilots. Keep your head on a swivel.

[@petshopboyspartnership]

OK impressive!!!

[@davidmann4533]

A loose cannon😂

[@michael_rc6585]

Das war knapp. Ich habe noch nie eine Strömungsabriss Landung gesehen XD

[@Rabenov-wq8qy2qg5t]

Superb aerodynamics!

[@stratosjoebar]

I think it was a little tail heavy

[@sailaway3930]

Ya not good

[@williamhoffman4337]

Any landing you walk away from is a good one

[@veeman1961]

And any landing where they can use the aircraft again, is a great one!

[@gerardboorsma3418]

Pffff....

[@cliffordkeesler3501]

Almost lost it. Would not have been good if it went into the spectators.

[@vady64]

Супер!

I think CG Problem Tail havey

[@leohcheung]

Flew more like GermanWings than Lufthansa…

[@dieterkarrer2535]

this pilot have to go to flight school, as sonn as possible, .....a big airfield and a landing like this.
