Global Jet Club 1/5 scale F-86 MID AIR CRASH! Best in the west 2023

[@sirivipashamulus1540]

Sorry for your girls 😢😢 but you have some room for your new girls

[@CvoHobo]

Victor, when I first starting zooming with you guys you had just received this jet. I enjoyed watching you build it and I learned so much. I hope some of the parts are salvageable and I hope I get to watch you build another one. Sorry for your loss.

[@victorrcjets7660]

Thanks CVO, I don't know yet what's the plan. Replacement would be nice 😕 if I can get the motor fixed. I lost all the gear with it too like the cortex pro and receiver and uat.

[@tughillrc6327]

This made tears in my eyes sorry for your loss Victor. The pilot that crashed into you would be on my Sh*t list 4 ever.

[@victorrcjets7660]

With many here too. We will return someday 🙏

[@dukeallen432]

Oh Victor no need to put your silly belief in gods in your video.

[@sendit_rc]

The way he first flew right up to you was intentional and then cut you off in the turn! Totally uncalled for on his end.Sorry to see this Vic😢

[@victorrcjets7660]

Yeah I still gotta ask him why he was doing that

[@f900ex5]

@@victorrcjets7660 You didn't go up to him after that? What did the other pilot say to you?

[@victorrcjets7660]

@@f900ex5 That's been the discussion of a lot of people there at the event also. He didn't even say sorry 😐 he didn't give an answer why he was there in my pattern 🤔

clear and simple Dude owes you a new Jet To the exact caliber of what he destroyed and dam straight i would use your or his AMA as im sure this was sheer negligent and borderline deliberate , hope you get compensated or just get him to wire you a few 4 digit numbers

[@victorrcjets7660]

At this time I don't know😢

Tragic, Victor ... What a great flight to end like that.

[@victorrcjets7660]

Yes a perfect flight

[@danzimmermann9122]

Sorry to see the unfortunate end to your beautiful plane. Hoping you are able to get another one like it It was a great flyer and I am sorry for your loss.

[@victorrcjets7660]

Yes I will just waiting for the turbine to be repaired first

[@ricardopr54]

Sorry for your loss my friend 😵‍💫 Not everyone has the skills to pull a well coordinated tandem flight, and that other pilot was clearly one lacking those skills...🤦🏾‍♂️... As someone else mentioned in the comments, that other pilot should submit a claim to the AMA and have his liability insurance pay for your plane. You have video evidence of the incident, take advantage of that, and also of the AMA liability insurance coverage... I hope that you can soon settle this situation down so you can get paid for the majority of your plane's damages...🤞🏾 Have a great rest of your night 🌙 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵🦠😷🇵🇷 Like#41

It's a good idea the will work

That’s a good idea.

[@victorrcjets7660]

@@memcrew1 I was told if I don't have a primary insurance, the ama insurance cannot be used.

[@12345fowler]

And why would the other jet be more responsible for the crash than his F-86 ? Do you think there are legal flight rules for R/C stuff lol !

[@federicoarzilli9121]

I am so sorry for this tragic loss Victor... :( I can't believe what the other pilot did on you landing approach... Impossible to predict. 😥

[@victorrcjets7660]

Thanks for your help yesterday 🙏

[@federicoarzilli9121]

Always my pleasure Vic... Also, thanks for your help with the glue :)@@victorrcjets7660

[@AcesHighMedia]

Anytime I have had a mid air, whether I am to blame or not, I can't hold anyone responsible for crashing into me as I absolutely understand the risk of flying simultaneously with other pilots. Its part of the game and a huge risk, and unless done with mal intent or obviously on purpose or due to completely carelessness (I doubt the other guy wanted to crash), I don't expect any kind of compensation or replacement. He did cut in way too early. He should have either went out wider, or gain more altitude in order to allow you to land as its obvious you were on final. Sorry for the loss bud, can't imagine that was cheap...

[@victorrcjets7660]

Yes I have mid-air someone before too, a foamyjet into a foam warbird. I didn't ask the other turbine pilot to pay for it.

[@AcesHighMedia]

@@victorrcjets7660 I purposefully never got into the world of turbine jets because of the huge risk factor. All our RC planes have timers, it's just a matter of when and why :(

[@falconwings]

Great job spotters!

[@victorrcjets7660]

yeah

[@markdavis7397]

Oh no! That is terrible. You did a great job with this plane, and had it flying excellently. It's fun to go to these big events, but the sky is always a bit too crowded.

[@victorrcjets7660]

Yeah, but there was only 2 of us at the time.

[@markdavis7397]

@@victorrcjets7660 Ouch, it's strange how often that is the case....planes zipping all over the place, and then the midair happens when least crowded. The other pilot should not have been loitering in the area while you were on final. He possibly was trying to clear out of there, but just did the worst possible job of it. Anyway, your enthusiasm for flying has always been infectious and inspirational to others. Keep it up, amigo!

[@JohnVHRC]

Your F86? Easily avoidable crash, what a shame, I love sabres.

[@victorrcjets7660]

Yes it's done

[@mikessi]

Such an untimely end to your beautiful Sabre. I hope you will have a replacement soon. Hang in there and keep the videos coming.

Totally dude!

[@tracythomasvision]

Sorry to see this Victor. Been watching you get this jet ready and then seeing this happen is not just upsetting but infuriating. Unfortunate and avoidable. Sorry to me carries very little meaning when things like this happen. Good luck with the salvageable parts and next AWESOME BUILD!!

[@victorrcjets7660]

Currently I need to send back the turbine. Everything else was a total lose.

[@jettechdonatkins]

So sorry to see this Victor.

Thanks Don 😔 😟 🙁

Terrible :( Sorry to see Vic...

[@victorrcjets7660]

thanks BD!

[@paulballard4243]

Definitely his fault. You were on final, he should have control over his plane and cleared the area. I hope he coughs up the cash for that beautiful Sabre. I hope you build another one Vic cause that bird is sexy as hell brother. Sorry for your loss man

[@victorrcjets7660]

Thanks Paul, I appreciate your kind words 🙏

😅

[@randalldavis2116]

That was very sad to see happen me I probably would have kicked his ass because that was uncalled-for he should have given you plenty of room on your Final Approach

[@12345fowler]

The other guy was also on final so ? Bottom line is they are no legal flight rules covering R/C stuff so good luck with your lawsuit lol.

[@Jetman-df4vs]

@randalldavis2116 I guess you never had a mid air or you don't fly

[@12345fowler]

Where are the callers ?

[@GBLynden]

Vic, he was clearly flying with zero respect for your pattern. Was he drunk?

[@victorrcjets7660]

bad piloting and bad Spotted

[@Jetman-df4vs]

GB get a life, also stop making reviews of other people's planes

[@admitmohan]

Omg. Soooo sorry for your loss. Lots of questions. Why did the other pilot reverse his pattern mid flight ? Why are you flying so slow and so high? Was it a maiden or feeling the field ?

[@victorrcjets7660]

I was on final. Don't know what he was doing until boom. He was in my pattern.

[@sirivipashamulus1540]

He is on the pattern for landing, and that is not high

[@shelbyintheolds]

Looks like you guys are not flying with a Spotter to prevent things like that.

[@bugette00]

Sorry to see this happen. Unfortunately mid air crashes involve both pilots and both are to blame. Spotters should of also been in full communication with everyone. If they were it's Unfortunately just part of the hobby and we move onto the next build

[@victorrcjets7660]

He just made the wrong move. I forgave him

[@smaze1782]

Didn’t you guys have spotters? How could this happen. The whole point of having spotters is to prevent these things from happening. Sorry for your loss.

[@victorrcjets7660]

We did but don't know why he was around me. I was landing so I should have the right a way.

[@12345fowler]

There is no right of way from a legal perspective - you both have responsability so see and avoid @@victorrcjets7660

[@isabella777]

@@12345fowlerI disagree. In jet event, landing planes have the priority and air boss calls out landing so other jets can yield for the landing jets. There is not much a landing jet with gear down and lock, full flaps and speed brake and on approaches to land following the glide path, can do to evasively dodge the collision. The Viper should bug out and create a 180 separation on the other side of the pattern. We know he was trying to set up for a high speed low altitude pass over the edge of the runway and got too close a few times. There were only two in the air instead of full pattern with 6 jets. There’s enough space for him to do his aerobatics in a clear space instead of monkey around a landing jet. Totally the Vipers fault.

@@victorrcjets7660 so sorry for your loss... the viper pilot has a peripheral vision problem / tunnel vision

[@DavidRuskin-y7f]

What on earth was the spotter doing for the red/white jet, nothing it seems. Mid airs are normally caused by spotters just watching their pilot fly, no sense of pilot flying and pilot monitoring. The spotter should watch/manage the airspace the pilot flys in.

[@victorrcjets7660]

As the person being hit I would love to know what they were doing and saying too. He was clearly in my pattern 🤔 why he wouldn't say. His spotter said he was giving advice but his actions was clearly 🙄 wrong as he could have cleared the area than stay there to turn right into my jet.
