I CRASHED my red LASER =(

It had to happen at some point...
Two years pushing this great machine week in week out, it finally met the ground on a high speed too low circuit with reversals... I swear I saw that bush jump up and grab the wing!!

Yeah man, when the Laser started its death roll at :01 I knew it was going to be a rough day.

That’s falling with style

They ALL have an expiration date, we just don’t know what that date is. 😂😂😂

Aww ..Heck...I bet I know what happened..."You said them deadly words..."Lemme get 1 more flyte, didnt you???...."....

RIP Red Lazer. I've seen some amazing videos of this power House. Awesome flying sir.

[@joshfinley85]

Part of the hobby. Great flying as always

[@MasboyRC]

Nice plane and skilled acrobatic pilot, even sadly ending. Thanks for sharing

[@aussiedigger1441]

Awesome flying MP! Thanks for sharing mate.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Cheers!!!

[@nostradumbass4984]

That 180° snap at 0:16 was so fast I almost missed it. I replayed it at 25% speed to be sure of what I thought I saw. Amazing talent!

[@charlesfoster141]

Best R/C pilot, plane and demonstration this 66 year old pilot has ever witnessed. FANTASTIC!!! That was one tough airplane to take those high g maneuvers! Wish the crash was on film. With your skill I cannot imagine you crashing!?

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Big thanks Charles!! Wish it was on film too, would have been spectacular... Was a silly crash, just too low while doing a fast knife edge...

[@srnunan4783]

There isn’t one aeromodeller who hasn’t crashed plenty of planes/helis/gliders etc over the years. It’s what keeps the hobby shops in business

[@firststateoutdoors9552]

Honestly insane flight footage

Oof! She flew and served you well!

Totally!

Thanks!!! Great phrase too!

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

So wish I didn't have reason to make this video!

[@Brian_Christensen07RC]

Well.... when you fly the heck out of airplanes physics is gonna respond at some point.

[@reginaldwashington764]

What size plane was that ?

[@leeh9931]

100cc class,, 35% scale ,103inch wing span 👍🏻

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

@@Brian_Christensen07RC lol, more than physics, just had too much fun !

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

@@leeh9931 Thats the one! You're hired!

[@ockelboi9948]

I would also very much be looking forward to videos of you building and sharing tips and secrets. And how about strapping an actioncam to your chest and film a parallell video with your stick work?!!! Have a nice build!

[@jasonbarnes8047]

If you fly them you crash them, I hope I don't ever find a time when I'm no longer learning enough to push the curve further. Thank you for posting this.

[@elcajondavid1]

I haven't flown in decades but prefab? Dang I had to cut everything out of balsawood and it could take hundreds of hours to build. Of course when you crashed it was time for a very serious nervous breakdown and why most folks wouldn't fly them at first (Several months.) because they couldn't handle it if they were to crash after spending so many hours building them.

[@wingnutzster]

I love everything you do - literally I’m such a mega fan but slightly disappointed not to have seen how that happened, call me carnal minded

[@jefferystackhouse3434]

Amazing Airobatics and great piloting skills and aircraft, but always remember luck does run out sometimes. Please be careful 👍😔.

[@BMBTALLER]

Que duroo!! No pasa nadaaa mostro (como decimos en aquí en Argentina), no hay mal que por bien no venga! Saludos ídolo!

[@aleskssks6996]

The good thing is that I can see now the internal arrangement of your electronics setup :). Will you show us the black plane building? And tips of "what, where and why" as a professional advices.

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Lol, yeah, way easier to disassemble than assemble! Will be making new video yes!

[@Project-Air]

Ahh man! Condolences. 😞

[@Andre-ww5sr]

Now you have a new builders kit...lol

[@natural-born_pilot]

That was a great piece of RC flying boarder lining on insane but that’s all part of great. Thanks for sharing this clip.

You are so talented!! Amazing video

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Thanks!!

[@octaviovelazquezlo]

Sorry for you lost😔

[@ToyManFlyer1100]

Well, when you fly 'em this hard, you accelerate the "Expiration Date"....If you are like my friends...Thier's last for yrs coz they never fly 'em....Lol !!!!

[@leeh9931]

I think that’s my favorite flight of this year!!!, was just great a combination of maneuvers, loved the super low inverted flight , it’s a shame she is no longer but, now there is room for the bad black one 😃👍🏻, your can say you defiantly got your worth out of it, must have 200-300 flights? And there Hard flights 😜Time to make new and more memories 👌🏻👍🏻 -the hodge

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

Thanks Lee! Definitely pleased with the number of flights on the Laser, had a lot of fun, time to do it all again with a new one!!

[@alistairpowers8129]

Martin, it happens don't feel bad, the margin between hero and zero on the day can be very small, the earth and gravity always win in the end, the important thing is you are having fun

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

If all planes last as long as this one, fly as great as this one, and crash only due to having too much fun and pushing myself, I am happy...!!

[@iceeman32y]

Man you are a fantastic pilot. That is correction was a sharp aircraft. But no worries you love building right!

[@av8tore71]

Damn that sucks however awesome flying

[@KRYTEN451]

Sick skills!

[@RCnerd74]

No risk no fun😏 It's part of the game... Enjoy your new Laser. To be honest I prefer the red and white color scheme😋 Happy flying!

Adding stickers to black and yellow, will be sweet!!

Such a great flight before the crash, sorry to see the sad end of a plane you loved x

[@captainbob406]

Absolutely awesome flying. Sorry to hear about the crash. Unfortunately, and as I have learned, That is part of the sport. Glad you already have the replacement plane. Get right back on that horse! ;-)

[@jacksonrcaviation]

Pickering your BADASS my friend, we would love to have you fly at our club someday.

oh now thats a real bummer but at least you got a new 1 in a box lol

Just goes to show even the best pilots can crash awesome flying as always

Mad skillz!

[@charlesfoster141]

I am still buzzing over that flight demonstration. Never seen the likes of that.

[@waynemiller6070]

Inspiring Flying. I was happy to hear you say you were not a switch flipper. And you just use the sticks. Pretty much four channels. I think I can do that.

Wish I could have seen that CRASH. I bet it made ALOT OF noise. Nice Flying BROTHER 👍🏼😎✌🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

they are born they live they die happens to us all ,, still a total balls when they crash,, it takes me weeks to get them in trim

Oh no vaya por dios, cuando menos te lo esperas. R.I.P. Laser. Saludos desde Córdoba, te espero en el festival Sebastián Almagro.

[@maljohn6584]

Real shame to see a great model end up this way. Have been flying high (G) R/C arobatice for over 20 years. At major uk shows and Flying R/C for 40 years. GREAT flying. But you don't get a higher score for flying that low. But great flying. Till then keep it higher. That way you have time to sort it out and take that great model home for the next session. All the best guy's.

[@vincentgattorno9751]

Very nice flying but I'm sorry for the damage.

[@theodor134]

Oh well, mistakes happen...looking forward to the next laser:)

[@TomDeWeerdt]

Rest in Pieces... At least you gave it a good solid spankaround on it's last full flight!

When you can't tell from the thumbnail if it's a plane or heli good job

Rest in pieces great Red Laser and on Martin is going with his black brother laser😎.....this one will flying even better that the Red one👍

Which setup will you be using in your new one Martin, Powerbox Mercury and MKS HBL380 ?

Basically same setup again, 777+ on all surfaces with the 380 on rudder, 737 on throttle, GP123 and Mercury with SparkSwitch Pro

[@brucebeamer2298]

Knife edge right down the line👍 how can I learn to fly that 3D😎

That's got to be one of the most extreme take offs am I surprised he turned it into a KIT.... NO... BUT IF YOUR NOT CRASHING YOUR NOT FLYING

Well, I guess it’s true what they say, All good things must come to an end. I guess “ Out with the old , in with the new “, is appropriate. Rip red Laser. Looking forward to seeing you wring out the Black one.

[@daveth121864]

Aww gee, I can't understand how that could happen. You're such a safe pilot, never taking this poor, poor Extra 300 beyond the OEM limits. :/
