Wedge Tailed Eagles ATTACK Parkzone Radian Glider!! Aerobatics Filmed with #16 808 camera

[@majastefanovic4687]

I love these Eagles! That's the way to treat drones

[@phayzyre1052]

Now THAT'S aerial combat at it's best!

[@2512rcplus]

Oh man, to get that close - they were AFTER you for sure !! Love it - with the slo - mo, you caught some brilliant video of them literally right on your tail !!

[@TheAmandaRhea]

At 0:46 that bird is seriously flying upside down! Amazing footage, thanks for sharing.

[@1stcommonsense]

I saw that too! Literal barrel role maneuver.

[@ShiftyAlien]

You caught some effin awesome shots man. Nice work.

[@jonhimself77]

Fantastic ! Love the bit at 2:50 - eat prop wash ! Amazing to see their profiles change as they come in for an attack. He really isn't a Parkzone fan though.

[@bretthilder6609]

My guess is the Wedgetails didn't think that clumsy, farting thing had any right to be anywhere near them ROFL!!! And I loved the way the first eagle barrel rolled in to attack like a boss!!! (at 0:43)

[@TooManyJezebels]

With 3 bogies on your tail, that was the most impressive flying I ever saw.

[@bttawfiq]

Awesome video shots buddy! It does not get any closer than this! These are great and beautiful birds

[@JaydenLawson]

Mate that's awesome!! Just got a Radian down here in Brissy - the White Cockatoos have no idea what's going on! Screaching all over the place. I'd say that's some pretty rare footage - top work.

[@rezcalm3633]

unidentified aircraft, you have entered restricted airspace!

[@barrywolmarans5291]

Awesome vid, thanx for sharing. Had my first encounter with an eagle today while gliding. Will really like to try mount a go pro sometime.

[@wittewel5586]

Amazing!!!! the best I have seen till now! (i hope you will make more movies!) I have traveled in Australia for a year and did see a lot of them! Not many people know how beautiful the are just like many other things in your country! but one thing i have to say. : i think they knew your plane was not too be eaten haha. and i think they were playing games with you!! :) (these are smart animals.. one of few that know how eat a cane toad). I LOVED YOUR VIDEO!!! MAKE MORE PLS :) GREEDINGS

Nice video Christian. Was a blast to watch. Greetings from Florida USA

[@BritishPicker]

Awesome video and quite very good video quality for the size of the camera. Brilliant flying.

[@koalatails6391]

Awsome footage of the eagles & nice flying. I was sure that the video would end with an eagle standing on your crumpled plane, glad I was wrong.

[@Krsna12x9]

It's probably horribly noisy for them and I don't blame them for wanting to take it down - expensive for you though if that happens.

[@johnkurtz300]

This is awesome footage of my fave bird in flight 😀

[@MuhammadYusuf-kq4nt]

Nice eagle,..😁😁😁

[@chilo31416]

No tail gunner?

[@flygtur7784]

would really need one

[@Booyaka9000]

Shooting a Wedgetail will only make it angry.

[@smg7602]

Ghost Rider, this is Strike. We have unknown aircraft inbound Mustang. Your vector zero-nine-zero for bogey.

[@mickcarson8504]

Nice to see my favorite bird in flight. Where was this taken, Phil? Looks like Pentland hills near Myrniong, Victoria. There are Eagles there.

[@Hansondiandian]

The eagle was like mmm, I would like to have a radian as my lunch

[@amranyusoff8931]

Great manuver.great video.i'm happy to see that and very entertaining.

[@CometsandRainbows]

Hi, is it okay if I use this for a science project? I am talking about the eagles ability to sharpen their vision. Thanks

[@matthewsmith2715]

Holy crap did you OUTFLY FREAKIN EAGLES!?!?!?!?

[@jasonaaronrose]

Nice vid man. The slow motion sounds so demonic though :p

[@jennyhanlon687]

Fantastic darlin.... Thanks so much for sharing this. :)

[@jimtinamx5]

fabulous video mate, loved it !!!

[@JetJockey87]

Were you flying FPV or LOS? That was some epic air combat you had going. I've been sharing my airspace with pink and grey gallahs here in the hills of Perth and they don't seem to like me... I'm trying to teach them aileron rolls...

[@MLPMichael]

Hey this is pretty cool. Flying with the eagles even though they are trying to attack your glider

[@tommis1985]

Looks like a fun day for everyone involved!

[@wangouthangout]

What's that noise? I thought gliders were silent?

[@xEZGAMERx]

Next time pack a bb gun damn birds!!! Radian's aren't cheap! ;-) great vid & nice flying!

[@EirasAndresOtero]

I've received the same attacks but if you demonstates character they will respect you. You just have to fly direct to the bird/eagle

[@tigeroll]

WOW, that was cool!!

[@GemGames3]

What Australian town is that down below?

[@PhilipChristian]

GemGems3 Springsure :)

[@FPVREVIEWS]

great shot. i have had this happen before, and fing loops throw them off. i guess they don't do loops in the wild. maybe you can teach them!

[@shininblue]

mayday mayday we are under attack

[@RCShufty]

They came from .... behind.

[@rupertradar7424]

This has happened to me three times flying my drone for Real Estate photography NEAR Adelaide!!

[@anzaeria]

Woah! I live in SA myself. I imagine you would have been flying pretty low for real estate photography. Really surprising that wedge tails would attack drones at a low altitude and presumably close to the operator.

[@schumifan78]

Great footage, fantastic view of the Wedge tails. How do you find the Radian?

[@PhilipChristian]

Hi schumifan, the radian is a very graceful airframe, with it being next to none with its thermal abilities. It really is the best soaring airframe to get especially regarding value for money and ease of setup. Its a joy to fly every time.

[@aGamingFish]

This is so awesome!

[@danteahan9494]

Loved that. Nice video

[@VEGASTRANDED]

AWESOME !! SAUCE !! LOVE IT !!

[@MsSunShine1]

the eagels hated it, some great shots though, esp the first close up - hes looking right in the lense as he strikes! awesome

[@nedgey]

Beats sitting in an office.

[@raul7293]

That was amazing!!!

[@travelbugse2829]

Can't help thinking the eagles have twigged that it is not a bird. I reckon they are partly protecting their territory and partly having fun. The rc equipment would be emitting some high frequency sounds which they can pick up. Gives 'em exercise!

[@thusspakevespasian5587]

Mate, wedgies will attack anything that flies in their territory, they're probably the ballsiest eagles in the world considering the fuckers will attack ultralight planes as well.

[@blueskyswan]

Hahaha. That was great!

[@upperechelon3456]

Yes. Wedgies can be very territorial. LOL

[@oneoffour63]

Should be titled as Rodan vs the Radian Glider..

[@captainstaysea3113]

They have a nest nearby. Their territory.

[@TheSlugstoppa]

I feel I should be manning a Dorsal mg and firing back lol.

[@Spinobreaker]

I am so temped to DL this and add VFX lasers and SFX into it lmao

[@PhilipChristian]

Haha go right ahead if you wish! I didn't bother removing the awful wind noise 😂

[@Spinobreaker]

lmao will do then :D

[@ChaoticTurtle]

You've got an enemy on your tail! Try a somersault! Do a barrel roll!

[@javorockstargdl]

use the brake!

[@Biscuitchris7again]

[@hawk1481]

God I love this the eagle can not do the maneuvers the plane can do.

[@LaurenTurtles]

GOOD VIDEO

[@urbanfox53]

eagles 1.0 radian, great vid.

[@nerome619]

Good footage. Be caeful witht he prop as it could easily kills or seriously injure the wedgie and they are a protected species.

[@JanuszWidlaENERGOWID]

[@jernejfunkl8300]

Best moment at 2:50...haha :)

[@bwxmoto]

Wow

[@charliebaughman]

AS if Eagles don't have enough problems without motorized aircraft engaging them in warfare. The eagle could be mortally wounded by these impacts especially by the propeller. Fly somewhere else. Intentionally killing an Eagle is illegal in the USA.

[@Until2morrow]

Hottest temperature I've ever been in was 35c, I think. I swear I nearly died, I don't know how you southerners do it. The cold I can dress up for, and fireplaces are cheaper than air conditioning lol

[@felipex6793]

+Zeek at least you get half naked girls everywhere.

[@7thmalice]

Felipe X that is a bonus i think we got up to 46 here a few years ago

[@anthonybarrett2342]

Brilliant.I dare you to paint the plane like a duck. Better order a new plane first.

who else is here because of 9gag post about eagles

[@Nicko029]

haha yep

[@rhyscarter2797]

Yeah

+Lowry. nope, browncardigan 8)

[@roqayyahabidey932]

I think all RC control panel should be ban , because it's simply a threat to eagle falcons osprey

[@anzaeria]

A bit of an over reaction.

where gliders dare

[@calebjames7314]

From what im seeing these birds dont give a care in the world lol

[@melaniok6729]

as your video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGLVeJuPp5V6r6s we can see the size of your small glider- the ONLY reason they did NOT attack it was curiosity ONLY- and if they wanted to could easily outfly much faster than your TOY . Anyway U have done an excellent video - and maybe you are giving David Attenborourh and the BBC team some good ideas .

[@espr7564]

Not suprising really, Parkzone gliders suck.

[@andgate2000]

Just power up and climb.....he can’t climb as fast as u.

[@edbriley6397]

I do not understand why drones are so expensive? I know I could build a drone that was completely autonomous that could carry between 50 and 100 pounds that fly for more than 2 hours at 100 MPH or more, and after starting to mass produce them be able to sell them for $500 or less a piece. You don't think so? Much of what I am going to show you is already available to do so. (These prices are retail) Shrink mold the wings and fuselage using Lexan. $80.00 Use bamboo, and PVC for stringers, and struts. $20.00 Use 12 Volt gear motors for control of rudder and allerons. $20.00 Use EMT (Conduit) for control rods from motors to control surfaces. $5.00 Electric fuel pump $20.00 Metal bucket or round pot for engine mount $20.00 2.5 Gallon Gas can - Plastic $10.00 Small amount of miscellaneous parts $50.00 Android Smart Phone $10.00 plus cheap service plan. 12 Volt motorcycle battery, or cheap lawn mower battery $30.00 Gas 6.5 HP engine Less than $200.00 Propeller Less than $100.00 How this would work is that the cell phone would control the plane. It would need to be programmed to adjust for wind speed using the roll and yaw of the drone etc... It would also need to read aircraft transponders to avoid other aircraft. You would just need to input the destination longitude and latitude, and any others you would want it to fly over. You would also need to input a destination IP address of the destination weather station you are flying it to. You would need a small ground weather station for the cell to read to adjust the drone for landing conditions. The drone would have a total weight of under 125 pounds, including fuel. Wingspan would be 5 feet, and a length of 6 feet. One man with the correct machinery, tools and training could build no less than 8 per day, if not more. Estimated R&D to production would be less than $50,000. Still don't believe me? This plane cost less than $3,000 to build - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqGnmJiEmLaKnpI

[@coreywilliams6754]

Let it be known that this is the largest raptor on the planet with a wingspan of up to 2.5 metres, AND is the only bird of prey which sees not only in Ultraviolet but also in Infrared. The American Bald eagle- though this fact will offend Americans- simply does not compare either in size or ability to hunt prey. Fact. Suck it up. Accept it. Move on.

[@gogogeedus]

And wedge tails are extremely fast, not only in a dive but in level flight, if the decide to move out the will streak across the sky in no time, I don't know if anybody has studied this but they can cover great distances in a short time and I'm sure they must be up there with the fastest birds.

[@cenabitednbfpv587]

So u know your flying within one mile of the nest b4 u even launch.... wow not what I would recommend to ANYONE EVER AND ARE u seriously attempting to cut these animals you think this is funny? As a rescuer dealing with BOP that have the thinnest bones when then break one they are as good as dead if not taken to a rehab... smh hope that bowl of jello was worth it 👌... And don't be proud be ashamed in the event of a raptor attacking your wing or quad your IN THEIR HOUSE and within one mile or closer of a nest. With almost all Birds of prey... I hate to be a part of a community that has people who find it funny to risk wildlife possibly left to die a slow death in misery or at best a rehab that MIGHT be able to save them.. SUX u may have well had good intentions but I don't know and hate seeing vids like this

[@anzaeria]

Yea he did mention wedge tailed eagles at the start of the video before he launched the plane. So he that there was going to be conflict. If I knew that these birds were in the vicinity, I wouldn't fly my rc aircraft anywhere near them.
