[@IRONCLADRC]

I've run my boat in this lake for at least 4-5 years without issue. All was clear. A Lady walking a dog ran geese in pond, within a Split second literally split second is all it took. BE SAFE EVERYONE!

[@wakekid2001]

This makes me sad. Been watching your videos for a few months now, I just skipped off a turtle yesterday in a small pond with my 30" hydroplane. The turtle wasn't hurt but I skipped right off its shell with my right sponson. Didn't see it. Glad you posted this because we all have to be aware/responsible when we enter the water.

[@paulcrouch3759]

I know it was a accident and a awful thing to happen but I take my hat of to you for send this video out to remind all users of an rc that there is a responsibility to these vehicles. Well done to you for showing all and a reminder to us all

[@RDM3DLAB]

Hey bud unfortunately it happens when running boats! Your bound to hit something eventually and I can feel your sincerity in your voice!! I would have felt the same way, it wasn't intentional, RIP MR. Duck!

[@mildtowildrc7343]

Dam Bro😵Got Geese here and would have broken my heart to kill one running my boats👀😵

[@Motorboatinsongun]

Sorry for that do you do any taxidermy work? It be a nice tribute to geese if you turned him into a boat then he will be immortal

[@mikejurnak4253]

Poor guy, he was just chilling with his boys in the water then boom💥off to heaven 😇 RIP 🙏🏻

[@GTfour01]

It was a quick death though, so no suffering. That at least is a good thing. 😔

[@mikeneitte212]

Heaven? Hahah

[@voodooman4636]

That goose was like "anyone else here tha"..........

[@SandysTravels]

My club races in a pond and we get ducks every so often. Everything stops and we use a. Boat to chase them, 50, 60 70 mph will. Do a number on them for sure

[@donrusnak7230]

Grew up racing in APBA running outboard alky hydro's and runabouts, when there's 12 boats out there, sometimes shit happens. I've seen many ducks, and fish killed. When your running at high speeds you don't have time to react and move, plus a turn to avoid a duck could cost you your life, or even the guy next to you or behind you. Casualties of boat racing. Ofcourse it's different when your not in the boat, but even these boats the reaction time is minimal. It's OK to feel bad, your human and you have a conscience, but sometimes things are unavoidable

[@johnnym7904]

Dude, one of the best videos ever, i know that's fucked up ,but good job

[@IRONCLADRC]

Thanks brother.

[@VikingDudee]

I hit a cat once with my mini revo, I don't know where this cat came from but it was in the direct path of my mini revo, I was going at least 45+mph, The cat was fine, I still see from time to time, but it snapped my chassis, my bulkhead and my servo saver was all messed up. Gave me a reason to upgrade it though.

[@royceracoma8864]

Bro, what dog? C'mon.

[@RogallaMarineRC]

Boats looking dialed

[@trentonbriones2381]

He hits the duck at 14:00

[@jeremybressler2225]

Sorry that happened.. but proud of you for posting this.keep boating.

[@rccrawlerextreme]

Bro be cool and don’t feel bad about it as u don’t do it on purpose

[@twistedliquidrcboats]

I lost my first Receiver in 10 yrs of running gas boats. Had a runaway. Lucky I hit a wake flipped and floated in. But it taught me the risks again involved in running Fast Gas Boats. Stay safe sir!!!

[@keithjohnso3904]

That goose would have been good eating.. I saw a 75mph 80 size nitro outrigger kill 2 mating ducks at the same time. Took both there heads right off.. I know because I retrieved there bodys at the race. What a way to go lol. These things happen. Just praise God for there sacrifice and roll in salt pepper & flour. Oh and don't be a goof ball and run if anyone is in water. Including people in boats. And never swim for your rc. Happy boating from foam boy.

[@countrycritters]

It's such a shame about the Canada Goose. I didn't see them in your video either. They must have been chased. I just had back surgery and my son got me my first remote control boat ever. I was watching videos and found your channel. Pretty darn neat!!!👍

[@IRONCLADRC]

Welcome to the hobby its a rewarding hobby to get into... Thank you for watching brother

[@Abyssdiver]

I love animals too and not saying this to be cruel but you should have put the animal carcass to good use and fed your family.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I thought about it mentioned it to my wife but she wasn't having that. Lol

[@georgegonzalez9281]

I decided to comment on this older video since I feel it is a very important subject. It is a real shame what happened and I feel for you being an animal lover myself. You have a big heart Big B and that comes through in your videos. You're very fortunate that there weren't any Karens around to witness this or you'd be looking at possible fines and a high likelihood of having the pond closed to model boats. It could have been far worse if your boat flew out of the water at 50 MPH and hit a person or even a dog walking along the shore. One way to protect yourself is to become a member of the North American Model Boat Association (NAMBA). It only cost $50 per year and you get insurance that covers up to $2,000,000 in property damage and $500,000 in bodily damage. Having a NAMBA membership in your wallet will save your ass if you hurt someone or someone's property while running model boats. Most of the ponds around where I live require insurance in order to run model boats. Just some food for thought. Boat gang!

[@IRONCLADRC]

Thanks George, I wasn't aware of the NAMBA offering insurance for boaters I will definitely look into it. Thanks again

[@proofpusher]

Just got into RC.. Maiden Voyage I was buzzing around a lake that was pretty big. About 45-49 mph just far enough to not be able to see.. After reviewing the video of the run I noticed I almost took a large bird out. Luckily for the bird he was paying attention or heard it coming and it missed him because the bird hauled ass.. If I would have hurt or killed the bird I’m not sure I would still enjoy the hobby as much being a fellow animal lover. Sorry that happened to you but I do appreciate you sharing your story ..

[@Scramblerkidd]

It’s always heartbreaking when you accidentally take a life of an animal.

[@brenden8783]

Rc's can be very dangerous, boats, cars and especially quads and helis. Stay safe.

[@Motorboatinsongun]

I want to figure out how to launch depth chargers off my tugboat get rid of them damn turtles too they’re like Nazi U-boats

[@jimstone5339]

I know that it's been a few years since you hit the goose but an appropriate sticker is in ordering feel.just my opinion.

[@jamesspring1878]

Hey where do you get all your parts for your boats sorry about what happened you're smart about boats and your vids are great

[@IRONCLADRC]

Off shore electric. Great company great service

[@RandyCrickWatercolors]

You are a good man.Accidents happen.I have the same boat lesson learned for me young man!!!

[@brianbouman661]

I launched my WL915 on a lake and a large flock of swans converged on it. I tried to drive through the flock ( over 50 ) to get to shore but I hit one of them. The swan was fine but the boat was lost.

[@pitbullrcltd6252]

Accidents happen..... and you seem to be sincere.... thank god it wasn’t a child ....

[@larrywalker1564]

That is why you should have a spotter if you are too busy doing Commentary for a video. That could and should have been avoided.

[@GTfour01]

I don't agree. With RC boats reaching these speeds and the unpredictable movent of birds, these kind of run ins are basically unavoidable and will occur sometime when running these kind of models.. It's unfortunate but sadly, accidents happen.

[@VikingDudee]

@@GTfour01 Yup, It sure does, But I know for a fact im not having a spotter out when I run my Maxx at 70mph, Especially when I can only run it once or twice a week and normally I run it in an empty lit up parking lot after work at 3 in the morning, no one I know will be awake lol. Well sometimes the police stop by because they think its cool and are curious as to why i'm up so early or out late playing with my RC.

[@dazspurs9899]

Do you have a spotter every time you cross the road? jeez no need to kick the guy when his down..it was an accident they tend happen quite often in life

[@geovaniboothe1992]

shoulda cooked that duck.

[@IRONCLADRC]

My wife wouldn't let me. Lol

[@geovaniboothe1992]

@@IRONCLADRC what you thinking for temps if you run water pumps on veles 29 twin water pumps in series is what i had in mind one pump feeds other pump that pump feeds motor and esc i think with the accelerated cooling efficiency retain would give you a bit more power out of it what you think?

[@rileykairc]

I hit a swan with my sonic wake 36 because some careless dog owner let their dog chase them to swan survived and flew off so I don't know how badly it was hurt I did split the nose of my boat ,it bugs me that when birds and wildlife are around dog owner let their dogs off the leads when they shouldn't

[@Terry12345]

That sucks. Sorry you had to go through that.

[@daltonboucher8162]

Sorry man that would suck 😞

[@robbomber984]

almost hit a duck today missed by inches.

[@IRONCLADRC]

Oh boy you're having a big B day

[@hoodatdare7039]

SORRY IT HAPPEND MAN. BUT ON A SADDER NOTE THE CANADIAN GEESE HAVE ONE PARTNER FOR LIFE.

[@IRONCLADRC]

That makes me feel worse .. I did not know that, learn something everyday

[@topgun5399]

Well you do know it's there pond. When you see water think waterfowl. It's to bad but awareness anticipation is part of this hobby. Well hopefully we all learned something from this video. Better the duck then a child . Feel for you guy. It does take the fun out of the day.

[@jacobfolkringa8676]

No animals should be killed on purpose for fun which you didn't I wouldn't sweat it to much as accidents happen Not much of a fan of Canadian geese As there are to many as it is

[@daiciuapostol79]

that lake is too small for your boats, too bad for that goose, don't run the boats there anymore try to find another lake, the lower finger is not given by me

[@TheAyatollahofNofappollah]

Yeah, that is one reason why I am thinking about only using my Horizon Hobby Tug Boat. I want to enjoy nature and have long run times. Thanks for doing this video.

[@rickseverythingiracing]

Accidents happen thanks for posting good reminder of the danger of these boats to humans and animals alike im glad to here you took care of it properly there is some out there that would of just left it.

[@MycoAlan]

🥺

[@imprezacabbit2309]

Geese may be assholes but this still upsets me, poor goose 😢

[@IRONCLADRC]

It was a freak accident.

[@adnanabbas6900]

I Agree, that they can be right cunts, but this got be sad.

[@RandomloserDK]

So you killed a goose by accident, then wasted it by burring it. The least you can do is eat what you kill. Or the very least make it into dog food.

[@IRONCLADRC]

Yea I thought of doing that. I hit a deer with my car once, cleaned & cooked. Never ever have I plucked a bird. I hate it as much as the rest trust me. Made me feel a little better watching guys on youtube hunt, shoot and kill hundreds of these geese in a day , hunting season ya know..

[@VikingDudee]

@@IRONCLADRC Not hard to pluck a bird actually, We do this with our older chickens that quit laying or have feet injuries that can't really be fixed, plus give us and our family food and we get more chickens for the eggs and to have as pets, Got one shes a speckled fat thing that can't run for nothing doesn't lay anymore, but once you start rolling over the logs we have on the edge of the property calling for her she waddles right over, shes right at your feet waiting for them worms or ants. I hate killing animals as well, and I don't do it out of fun, but hey sometimes things happen bro.

[@dazspurs9899]

Unlucky mate I hit a swan about 5 years ago on a miss geico 29,luckily the bird was okay just a cloud of feathers went up in the air

[@IRONCLADRC]

Oh man that would of killed me, swans are so beautiful.

Nice boats i have a spartan n want to upgrade the stock pro for better speed passes what size u recommend n where can i get one balance n sharpen ready to install

Thanks

[@rctruxbashing7420]

It won’t be long before fast rc will be regulated due to things like this, the responsibility is 100% on us if you’re holding the remote it’s your fault period. If there are people, animals or property around then don’t run…it’s that easy.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I know right, this duck is way more important than a jet airline full of human beings. Drones are regulated for a far more important reason than a incident like this.. DUCK vs JET LINER ? HMMMM...

[@rctruxbashing7420]

@@IRONCLADRC it’s not so much this or you honestly, these fast boats are becoming popular and I see way too many videos with people running them around swimmers, kayaks and other small boats that these will go right through. My point was it’s up to us to make sure there are no accidents that involve persons or property.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I agree 👍 speed runs on public state owned roads is gonna be what does it. I agree 💯

[@rctruxbashing7420]

@@IRONCLADRC yep those are an accident waiting to happen, you’ve got no control over the situation on a public road.

Hey son. That sucks huh, poor goose. Love & miss you. Hope your Have fun on your vacation!

[@genuinesim2796]

Did you notice any vertical play/slop in the rudder when you first got the 42?

[@IRONCLADRC]

Yes, but it was minimal.

[@vinnyn9838]

It wasn't a freak accident u thought u were good running past them if u saw them u should of waited or went on the other side of the lake

[@dazspurs9899]

Easy to be wise after the incident with video footage isn’t it..It was an accident do you enjoy making people feel worse than they already do?

[@stevegabriel6982]

That small park pond is for people and wildlife to enjoy, not your FE playground. This was inevitable, find a proper place to terrorize.
