☠ MOMENTS 2022

Crashes and mishaps of r/c planes
They all have to land ... sometimes it goes wrong!!!

[@taofledermaus]

The damage to the fence from that jet, ouch! It can be really EASY to misjudge distances.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

This guy should have been banned of the airshow two days before because he was flying in a scary way. In reality this plane reached a speed of 310 mph. At least he paid the price of his show. Luckily nobody was harmed.

[@SolarWebsite]

I'm amazed the turbine stayed intact enough to spool down. Wow, that was high-energy event.

[@SolarWebsite]

@@RCScaleAirplanes Ouch, that's bad. There are rotten apples everywhere. I have had a concussion an 17 stitches in my head when someone hit me with a Robbe Charter (4cc trainer, probably about 2kg). I brushed the incident off back then but looking back at it, two decades later, I realise I have been very, very lucky.

[@taofledermaus]

@@RCScaleAirplanes If he had hit a car, it had enough energy that would have gone through both doors. I crashed a .40 - sized trainer into the wall of a mobile home, I misjudged how far the plane was far from me and it went through the wall and it was just cruising at about 30 mph.

[@StefsEngineering]

@@taofledermaus Without a doubt, I looked up the weight of a smaller turbine model and considering 7 or 8 pounds, the above mentioned. Roughly 50% more energy than the average 50bmg projectile at the muzzle(18000 joule): 34500 joule

[@avipatable]

Superb Horst! Glad to see there weren't too many write offs. Felt bad for the signal loss and the 260mph with the Heras fence! The Spitfires were both a good lesson... you don't have to land first time!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you Sam. Much appreciated !!! Incorrect estimation of distance and speed is one of the most common causes of model loss. A go around is unfortunately ignored by most pilots.

[@avipatable]

@@RCScaleAirplanes or forgotten - they they get a kind of fixation where they feel the must land. I try very hard now to just open the throttle if things don't look right, or I have a bounce.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

@@avipatable Fully agree. Btw. I've seen many go arounds this year but I decided to show only the two in the video, otherwise people get bored watching the video.

[@ianbargh8590]

Lol never noticed that cartwheeling pilot so slow mowed it. Very funny but shame about plane I think we have to remember these RC pilots are only doing what the crowd love but yes lets keep it safer.

[@agilis1]

I just watched all the moments within the playlist and I will say that a lot of pilots need to learn how to land on top wing (trainers) aircraft before transitioning to bottom wing aircraft with large control surfaces and throw. OMG they are coming in way too fast. Way too steep. Then they rush to land causing the aircraft to bounce which either ends up in a crash or loss of control which results in a crash. None of them fly far enough away to approach the landing strip with a nice, easy glide scope. Also, if I’m the owner and pilot of these aircraft and I do a fly by and see no landing gear or missing landing gear etc., I am definitely not going to ditch on asphalt. Instead, I’m ditching into the grass. I do enjoy these *moments* but damn does it prove how some these pilots lack the training required and instead just transitioned right to more advanced models. Thank you for such a wonderful insight into RC with all your playlists and the dedication you show to this amazing hobby!!

[@michaelasrensen212]

Iriieie829 i 23l5j7liiuææuluæjljæhæægoy😂

[@dereks2642]

I learned early on that when you bounce the plane on landing, just hit the gas and go around. Once it porpoises, just do a go around. If you have to force a landing, well, it will certainly end up on the ground....

[@blankblank9117]

7:48 the slow clapping from a handful of people after the sudden 260mph explosion right before the announcer mutters holy smoke just sets it off for me haha.

[@popsfereal]

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Couldn't agree more! Thank you for your kind comment !!!

[@ChrisB257]

I admit, I winced more than once Horste - some major ouch examples. If I turn the clock back a long way I have had most of those one way and another in early days! My saddest was a favorite plane I'd flown for 3 years or more - all sorts of aerobatics - and one day flying inverted low level - threw elevator wrong way - big ouch of destruction into corn field. Sympathies to all the sufferers! :)

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thanks for your great comment Chris!!! Up until 12 years ago I was also very active in flying. I also had the same case as you - I flew my model in an inverted position at a low altitude and for unknown reasons the elevator had too little deflection, which meant that I could no longer correct it upwards - the result was an impact on the ground. _Cheers, Horst_

[@welshpete12]

Looks like it was very windy , so difficult to land . But beautiful models, hope the damage wasn't to bad !

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Crosswind is one of the most critical components during landing.

[@gradeyundery4939]

yeah, i spoke to the guy with the 260 mph jet that crashed into the metal fence. he said the damage wasn t too bad, he could recover at least one screw and will rebuild.

[@sawtooth4615]

I will never understand the need to make those high speed extremely low passes where one minute twitch or electronic glitch could turn that model into a killing projectile a mere feet from the pilot and spectators.

[@fouresterofthetrees287]

7:00 Got a good belly laugh out of the "worm burner." Great recovery getting it airborne.

[@allandavis8201]

I have to admire the courage of RC aircraft fliers, they spend a huge amount of time building the aircraft, putting their heart and sole into it, not to mention the amount of money, they are rightly proud of their finished aircraft and then put their flying skills to the test, and sometimes it goes completely FUBAR and their pride and joy ends up nothing more than a pile of scrap, personally I will stick with my non-flying model kits, I couldn’t bare the thought of my work turning into matchsticks.

[@asommer518]

The reason you see so many scale plane crash compilations is the fact that as a group scale pilots have the least amount of flying time. They are dedicated builders but don't spend enough time flying. Scale plane are also the hardest planes to fly well. A terrible combination

Man what happen to people watching these videos and enjoying them? In the rc hobby they crash is what happens. Doesn't matter if it's small or big or slow or fast. It's part of the hobby. You actually have more of a chance of a car passing you on a free way at 75mph hitting you head on then an rc hitting you. But it has happened. These accidents won't cause the hobby to go away. You people complaining like whiny little girls is what will cause it to fall. That aside alot of these videos are funny and I wish I could have been there lol

[@murrayhowe8388]

So many lovely RC planes here,with alot of dollars spent. Unfortunately most of the pilots were underskilled in their flight operation,with the exception of the gold futura pilot and a couple of others. Just goes to show that a bigger wallet doesn't make a better pilot,whether that is full scale or RC. If most pilots would fly more scale,they could b alot smoother,from take off roll to landing,avoiding ugly inputs to correct the situation. In the majority of cases,it seems yank and bank is here to stay. There were some exceptions but that was the minority here. The red fast jet pilot was a loony,luckily no one was injured or killed,only the pilots pride and wallet took a beating. To engage at those speeds with so many people close by and not orientated over the runway? Sorry,absolute madness. A contest director's nightmare. Great camera work,thanks for sharing. To all pilots thanks for showing some beautiful aircraft.

[@florianN132]

A lot of those Warbird - "Landings" are just painful to watch... So many of those Pilots seem to be just overstrained! You can already see it in the approaches, that it will not end well. They fly too fast and don't flare, wich causes major bouncing, they fly to slow to be able to flare at all and just stomp it in, they have very poor pitch control over their models... And all of this ist very clear to see, several seconds before the inevitable end, so plenty of time to just go around and start a new attempt you would think. But noo, because they just keep going because they dont even seem to realize what's going wrong. Sadly, this seems to be very common in the big-scale community. You would guess, the bigger the planes, the better the pilots - but more often than not, it's the opposite

I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, when watching this video, many of the viewers don't understand at all what it's all about. They think that beginners fly the models here. It's not like that at all. Sometimes you are less concentrated and misjudge speed and distances. Then a situation quickly arises that you have to deal with in fractions of a second to save the model.
