R/C Plane Crashes into the Sea. Underwater Scenes.

A sunny afternoon flying my electric powered plane ends in disaster when I become disorientated from the glare from the sun.
All ends well after the plane is recovered with my GoPro 3+ Black Edition. Location is The Cape Range National Park, Exmouth Western Australia. Aircraft, Nine Eagles Sky Climber.

[@youtubasoarus]

I'm just amazed at how much life is down there. Just random pop into the ocean and bam... life everywhere! That is awesome.

[@netolocio1677]

+youtubasoarus Life everywhere, life in your profile picture.

[@MegaMetinMetin]

1 up :D

[@arminthecollosaltitan4235]

youtubasoarus ya but they eat it and die

[@Topaz30]

youtubasoarus SAYS THE 1 UP

[@sir_john_hammond]

Not for long if we keep going the way we are.

[@BMSWEB]

Dude, that was the best crash ever!! Loved all the fish, sharks, turtles etc loved it

[@MrLiftHog]

Hi Paul & Thomas, yes I guess there are never really good crashes since it usually involves time and money for repairs, but as crashes go this was a bit different. Had I not I would never have gotten the footage. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@BMSWEB]

It's the first crash video I've watched over and over again

[@skunkybomont2593]

that turtle was chill as fuck.

[@BMSWEB]

***** No way lol

[@BMSWEB]

Hey I was in panic doing this flight lol that was in a foam aircraft kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYvIf52mapuUppY

[@dand318]

Sorry for the loss of your plane, but that is probably the best R/C footage I've ever seen. As an R/C pilot, and a diver, I really appreciated both perspectives.

[@MrCheese68]

He prob got it back bc how would he upload it😮

[@M1710]

I just love when the first fish comes and welcomes your plane :D

[@ocelotmadness6287]

Lol yeah that was my favorite part the fish just came up like "hi friend :D"

[@rreidnauer]

Yea, I was thinking, "Wow! The camera recorded a fish." Silly now, since the entire cast of _Finding Nemo_ showed up shortly thereafter.

[@jamillsafeguard6326]

Welcome to the sea my dear airplane hows your life on the sky? Cause I want to fly :( -fish

[@mircea2126]

AND THE SHARK

[@brohan914]

"Yo get the fuck outta my house"

[@myhonchosg]

Glad the camera was retrieved! Else we would have missed such interesting footages! From the beautiful aerial views to the underwater views. It's just awesome! Fishes and sea turtles! Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@RJGamer-zb4lb]

SGCrawlers RC / MyHonchoSG hi

[@MrLiftHog]

Oh you have got to be kidding me 2,000,000 Views!!! As a famous tennis player once said...You Cannot Be Serious!! Thank you to the second million people to watch my video. I love you all :D

[@m0sifer]

You should thank Nerdcubed

[@davismoniz8432]

***** No he shouldn't because 2 million people did not watch nerdcubed's video. This video has 2,000,000 views because it is EPIC!

[@fuyingbro]

Sad about the crash. Beautiful footage though. I would have been like. Yep its gone. Can't walk out there on the coral and not with all the sharks. That is some luck finding it.

[@1SavageMiss]

FuYing Bro those are tiny reef sharks :P

[@antdx316]

***** I dare all the girls to push whip cream pies in your face and put the video on youtube

[@elit3sa4vage82]

AT LEAST WE GOT TO SEE FREAKING TURTLES AND FISH

[@XxthaisCraftThe3rd]

and a shark

[@FrankGreenway]

and a shark

[@mtc6379]

Frank Greenway he said a fish....and shark IS A FUCKing fish

[@rapiazh0079]

actully its not...

[@FrankGreenway]

Rapidazh 007 thank you

[@stevelawrie7087]

Great video: not surprising that iit's been watched by nearly 3 million. The transition from air to fish is always fascinating

[@ulysse21]

My opinion is that many people, most of them maybe, tought like me, that it was a real scale plane, I bet most of them don't know even what R/C means

[@stevelawrie7087]

Might be true too....

[@maddiebam5089]

Surprise kids Univers City me

[@nerys71]

Damn almost wished I lived in australia. I would chalk this one up as "worth it" for that video. Very cool. You know what to do next right? RC boat with camera underwater. GREAT video!

Would love to see some footage of an RC boat wandering there!

[@forestfeller]

Guss De Blöd Haha hey Guss! Fancy seeing you here. Reddit?

4est Feller haha hey o7 Nope I sometimes go on Reddit but I saw this video on a french website.

[@TheJusticeCross]

Guss De Blöd The video would be rubbish : the RC boat is small, with the wind, waves, etc, I think that even with video modifications it wouldn't be that great. Even on cars, bikes, skis, videos are not always awesome because of vibrations, noise.

[@foljs5858]

TheJusticeCross Yeah, I can see why a crashed RC plane is better for underwater footage /s

[@jackmcgee6827]

My first memories of KZbin were sitting around with my dad looking at RC planes crashing and old soccer videos. What a throwback.

[@MrLiftHog]

OMG 1,000,000 VIEWS!!! Thank you World. I never thought this little video would get such a huge response. Thank you everyone for your comments (good and bad) & for rating. I have a bit of work to do now to top this. Woohooo!!

[@andreilebed4773]

Пожалуйста. )

[@user-fb6nc1hq8v]

andrei lebed зто?

[@jonnywaselectric]

Well done mate, you achieved what few people do, one million views. Hope you have monetized your video, should be worth about $5k for every million views. You can buy another glider now. :)

[@MrLiftHog]

G'day jonny, thanks for your well wishes. I never really put this up for the money but it would be nice to get a few bucks back to replace the plane and even get some FPV gear. Cheers.

[@3BrosElectro]

Hope you turned "monetize" on back when it was at 0 views hahaha. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrbeefy71]

Sad for the plane but great underwater footage

[@AlienWithInsomnia]

Better than the Discovery channel.

[@Tom_Goss]

The video was well worth the crash. Glad you were able to recover it!

[@jarreddeforge8094]

Those fishies in the water have no idea that they will be in youtube :-D

[@MrHelidude]

✔✔✔ ........... ❁◕ ‿ ◕❁

[@jarreddeforge8094]

;-)

[@ronidoria8789]

wahahaha nemo where"s nemo when u needed him

[@SuperMasterthief]

Pretty amazing that it captured a shark and sea turtle on camera.

[@jrdn.lauren]

i feel bad for laughing. seeing the beautiful life while hearing the electronics toast was fun.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

That was awesome 👌🏻 👏🏻

[@Another_Player.]

Yes

[@MegaHasmat]

This video was oddly fitting as the mystery video for Dan's blindfold challenge

[@danielbergmann4330]

because the guy couldn't see his plane? xP

[@jekanyika]

CM punk, CM punk, CM punk!

[@lukeusername]

jekanyika You're embarrassing, you're embarrassing, you're embarrassing...

[@boosted7051]

That was an amazing shot from both air and under the ocean

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

Well deserved 2 million plus views, so awesome!!!

[@MrLiftHog]

Scot Campbell Many thanks :)

[@antdx316]

Scot Campbell I dare all the girls to push whip cream pies in your face and put the video on youtube

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

hahahaha!

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

ant a hahahaha!

[@jadenrolon6865]

Woah dude, even though your go pro was in the water and your friends we're searching for it you got some awesome footage underwater!

[@JDoerp]

1. Amazing aerial footage from a RC plane 2. RC plane crash 3. Turtles, sharks and other awesome marine life 4. Waves The ingredients to the perfect KZbin video. Thanks KZbin algorithm for putting this in my recommended 6 years later!

[@punkymunkin]

One of, if not the, best RC crash videos I have ever seen. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@eltonq]

This is an amazing video. The fish life there is absolutely breathtaking! too bad not many reefs in this hemisphere look like that anymore. So you basically flew line of sight into the sun is what it seems like. I bet that's a lesson learned!

[@tedsmith6137]

I think you flew too close to the sun and the wax melted! Just like Icarus.

[@fUjiMaNia]

RC flying, Birds Eye view, Ocean view, Reef, Turtles, Fish & a freaking Shark ..... so cool :-) Glad your recovered the GoPro .... the planes electronics aren't a big deal to be replaced plus the damaged glider.

[@Pawlak8771]

The sea turtle!!!! I love how when I try looking for fish I never find any but this guy.... He's a natural

[@RCINFORMER]

That ruled!

[@MrLiftHog]

Thanks. Would you believe the rx survived and is now in the Minimoa.

[@MrLiftHog]

@CyberFreaked yes I have 90min. of raw footage. Way too long for YT.

[@Longbowgun]

Let the tubers be the judge. :)

[@fwdbias9099]

Wow a few minutes in the water and immediately you see sharks and sea turtles, awesome!

[@kevinzki21]

Thank you so much for this. This has gotta be one of the more beautiful things I've come acros youtube these days. I hope this makes you feel better after that poor glider...

[@DentoRuneScape]

Alright Ladies and Gentleman! Today we're going scuba diving, but we're doing it with an original twist. We're going underwater with a plane!

[@tonys9116]

Omg it's a turtle aww

[@AmazingBob3190]

Great video man!!! Sharks,turtles etc. Amazing!!!! 😂😂😂✌️✌️😎😎

[@marianesterova8967]

Thank you, people! I lived in WA once, left for US - learned to dive after that. Now I am thinking to come back to WA - this is plainly my favorite video in the world.

[@EthanfromEngland-]

I would lvoe to see the full 2hr raw file with some chillout music over the top!

[@TheRailzone]

Interesting !

[@VtecGuru]

No u

[@Highway247]

Amazing! I loved it when the plane flipped up & then back underwater like "wait there's more!". Beautiful footage!

[@vaughanheilman1325]

Inadvertantly one of the best rc fpv vids I've seen yet. Sorry about the plane, but thank you for sharing. You live in an amazing place!

[@JeromeDemers]

@4:10 When I go in vacation, I spent days trying to find turtle, you crash and see 2 turtles in one shot!!!! crazy lucky! :)

[@MrLiftHog]

Hi there Jerome. Cape Range National Park is a world heritage protected area where turtles come to breed and lay their eggs in the sand dunes. There are many opportunities to see them.

[@JeromeDemers]

ok, great, I just google it, thank you for the info! A good reason to visit Australia :P

[@tonys9116]

Is that a fucking shark

[@su31RD]

+Antonio Sanchez well... pretty sure its not a snake :)

[@gavoserch]

+Abraham “Su-31RD” de la Melena hahahaha xD

[@AlexanderSiamandi]

+Antonio Sanchez yep

[@randomhumanperson4354]

+Lucas C I have no idea why but this comment cracked me up! But I never saw a shark!

[@dothispronto3790]

sail fish i think aka sword fish

[@kerryclark1926]

great camera shots. beautiful water.

[@sittingbythepool]

I was totally mesmerized by this! Loved it

[@yannisbve5220]

A very beautiful bad luck

[@chantellefanpage2229]

those poor fish must of been scared to death

[@alloneword7427]

No. If they were, they would have swam away.

[@matchlockfun]

Don't know what brought me here, but glad i did. Better than a movie.

[@TheMrskydog]

Man!!! That was some awesome footage. I noticed a reef shark and two pillatamous dorfamas sea turtles. Thanks for the upload!!!

[@tendercomrade2330]

A blind wrestler brought me here

[@hammondB3_C3Tube1]

Is this really accident?, or was directed? It's the wonderful video picture like the fairy tale!

[@MrLiftHog]

mitsuhiko fukuzawa Yes it is real. Whenever the question is asked "is it real?" or when someone says "Fake", it feels like an indirect compliment. Thank you :)

[@Korgon2013]

Might be the most relaxing video on YT.

[@dianedsm]

Very cool Ryan really enjoyed watching it thanks for sharing. And ya know you can see the roundness of the earth

[@Explosiveglue5tick]

U WENT SWIMMINNG IN THERE EVEN THO U SAW A SHARK ON UR OWN VIDEO FOOTAGE?

[@SwishLad]

lol theres WA for ya

[@turner8107]

Sharks aren't dangerous..

[@elizabethp96]

+Swish WA?

[@itzKhalayy]

+Elizabeth P Western Australia :)

[@DonaldBiden]

The Demize that shark poses no threat to humans

[@sparrowlt]

Im trying to understand .... but i cant.. if you lost orientation for the sun glare you only needed to turn arround and fly back towards earth.. or sideways.... you kept flying in circles while spiraling down... its like making the same mistake 10 times in a row again and again PD: I fly FPV and also flew over the sea

[@bandetx]

He obviously wasn't flying FPV. That's what he meant.

[@sparrowlt]

Bandet Oh.. so he was flying LOS.. Thats impressive alitude for LOS... the farthest i went without FPV was 500m And yes... sun will absolutelly blind you ... allways avoid flying into the sun.. even if its going to be from side to side for a second is unbealiable how much you can lose in a couple seconds

[@MrHenrikKastrup]

sparrowlt Still I wonder why he can't "fly straight" for a while, and then make a turn.. until re recovers LOS... anyway.. outstanding underwater movie!! *lol*

[@leifvejby8023]

Henrik Kastrup Witt This is a normal radio controlled aircraft without gyro or anything else to stabilize it during flight, If the pilot can't see what it is doing it will eventually crash.

[@MrHenrikKastrup]

I fly RC planes myself. Many are build in a way that if you keep the sticks center the plane will fly straight. And this one does look stable. But we are just giessing. Still outstanding underwater photage! ;)

[@dhyanais]

I very much appreciate the wonderful footage while airborne and the dedicated commentary. It is a great story wonderfully told on video.

[@austinwilson6618]

Absolutely Amazing Video!

[@vitamincisgoodforme]

Hopefully this vid inspires someone to make a submersible drone

[@SirDella]

vitamincisgoodforme it already exists

[@vitamincisgoodforme]

A flying machine that you can land on water and use as a submarine, awesome, can I have a link?

[@SirDella]

vitamincisgoodforme search "waterproof drone" on yt

[@vitamincisgoodforme]

Ahh yeh I did that before, there is nothing really fully submersible where you can go under and investigate.. nothing like that available to the general public at least.

[@whorebagsss]

This video is brought to you by Malaysia Airlines.

[@sergeantmaymay4833]

twat

[@whorebagsss]

Sergeant MayMay is something you'll never get.

[@dirkcornelius3505]

whorebagsss You've just proven yourself to be of very poor character, sir. Go to reddit.com and learn some internet etiquette.

[@e-S4p3R]

hue

[@TurBoChaRgeD011]

made me giggle.

[@SommerAdric]

Well, the most interesting RC video I've seen yet. Incorporating both a glider and submarine viewing aquatic life!!

[@bashy2.0]

Fantastic video chap, thank you ever so much for sharing..

[@mali2094]

hahaha as soon as plane crash in the water fish are like shittt alien attacked us call the sharks

[@misterZM]

Только геи ставят дизлайки под такими видео

[@ognyena]

misterZM what does it have to do with one's sexuality?! Idiot!!!!

[@piperman2010]

Thank you for your awesome footage sharing...

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

Came back to watch...so cool!

[@Industrialvrn]

тот самый случай когда не было бы счастья да несчастье помогло :) что не делает бог все к лучшему! такие насыщенные живностью кадры специально снимать будешь не снимешь :)

[@redditthrowawayaccount8664]

Hey Guys. Anonymous Redditor popping in! This video reminds me of my own plane crash experience. I was flying to Portland with my younger sister and brother and our plane crashed into the ocean. I had the chance to save one of them and I followed my motto "gentlesirs before m'ladies", so I saved my brother and let my sister die. It was very painful for me. My poor sister could become some gentlesir's m'lady someday. Part of m'e died that day. Thanks for letting me share this with you. /r/AskReddit celebrity Throwaway Account

[@trickhealey]

This is the best rc airplane video I have ever seen. Easily. THE BEST.

[@MrLiftHog]

Thank you :)

[@mr-inka]

Wow. I love how it drops into the water and in the next two minutes you can see hundreds of fish, a shark, tortoise ... just wow.

[@MrGrizmint]

probably shouldnt be flying these things if youre just going to crash them. that ocean could have been a person, or even a child. please stop endangering our children.

[@netrunnercl]

stay at home

[@sergeantmaymay4833]

lame

[@JLSaun]

You don't think there was a reason he was out in the middle of nowhere? What an ignorant comment.

[@tyee4u]

MrGrizmint. Wrap yourself up in cotton wool, climb in to a great big bubble, call your mommy, and ask her to bring your binky, and stay off the computer.. Oh, and please do not procreate.. That is all...

[@12kredline]

Wait, why would a kid be swimming that far from shore in the first place? Oh the humanity

[@nanakeyks]

Wow some great underwater wildlife shots here!

[@hebraist]

Awesome video! Beautiful shots! WOW.

[@jhaveman]

Sorry for your loss, but THANK YOU for sharing the video. Really cool!!

[@Biensur1966]

I have posted dozens of flight videos. Nothing comes close to this! Brilliant! Great underwater video! Better than the flight!

[@TravelsChases]

This is truly amazing video. What you captured in the sea was priceless , and I'm sure not part of your plans that day. A new drone can be bought. This video will last for ever. Thanks for sharing.

[@nicktamibailee]

That was amazing!!! I loved the turtle part!!! Just how is records everything!!!!

[@kobienel6085]

That was a serious "ouch" on the pocket, but the video is probably a huge consolation price. Thanks for loading it.

[@AusMotorcycleAdventures]

amazing quality footage showing some beautiful scenery. love this country of ours

[@catoffline]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@TylerBrackin]

Man that totally sucks it fell into the water but what an amazing video!!! super clear underwater shots of the sea life swimming around the plane! amazing.

[@revmaxhobbies]

That was awesome underwater footage.

[@jeffmuniz9294]

I miss Scuba Diving. Awesome share.

[@doubleas2380]

Sorry to hear about your plane. Beautiful video, man!

Such a beautiful ocean, nice vibrant water colors. I'd like to visit some of Australia's finest waters!

[@Talan274]

Awesome underwater R/C!!

[@richardhernandez8939]

Dude! This is the best RC Footage I've ever seen! It makes me want to visit Australia 😅

[@juliannagrace5025]

[@ihatedthischannelsomuch1154]

Thank god your safe! Atleast you weren't hurt and didn't fall in the land, and wow! You caught amazing footage of the underwater scenery! :O I'm in aw!

[@blackmennewstyle]

Maybe another reason to fly with an autopilot... But what a such spectacular view in the water

[@CarlosGarcia-yp1ny]

Amazing, Amazing.... Amazing Video....

[@neampremvajarakorn266]

Thank you for this beautiful fpv, 2 turtles 1 shark and many beautiful fishes lol

[@PCKid32]

Well done. Amazing footage

[@tedchen0025]

It’s soooo nice to see all the life under water. It’s a crash and that’s not nice, but it’s nice to see all the sharks and fishes!

[@helenmountford9837]

Beautiful!!!

[@aimanisahac]

wow! there's a lot of living creatures down there living peacefully. thank you God because without you, there will be no us. Godbless.
