RC PLANE CRASHES & MISHAPS COMPILATION - TBOBBORAP1 - 2020

[@tbobborap1]

2020 - UNFORTUNATELY FOR US (MEANT IN A NICE WAY) THERE IS NOT A GREAT DEAL OF ACTION IN THIS YEARS CRASHES COMPILATION, DUE TO COVID CLOSING DOWN EVERY RC PUBLIC SHOW IN THE UK THERE WERE NO OPPORTUNITIES FOR PILOTS TO MAKE THE CUSTOMARY MISTAKES WEVE COME TO KNOW, ILL WAGER THEY ARE GLAD TO HAVE A REPRIEVE FROM CRASHING THIS SEASON - LOL,

Having built several of these myself the first thing that comes to mind is always the hundreds of hours invested in making them so detailed. I probably enjoy building them as much as flying them. Great video sir! I did notice this was #1...oh my.

As a pilot, I still love to build and fly R/C aircraft. 60yrs (young) cracking them up at the field never upsets me. I love to play with them because I'm not in the pilot seat. When I'm piloting an aircraft, I'm excited but serious, R/C flying is just good fun! Cheers!

1:20 the Corsair made a perfect emergency landing 👏

[@tankmaster1018]

I remember being devastated when one of my cheap model rockets that took a few hours to build crashed or got damaged... can't imagine what its like to crash one of these that you spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on, spent days or weeks putting it together, and may be fully at fault for the crash as opposed to a model rocket crash where shit out of your control usually leads to the failure rather then you crashing it yourself trying to land!

[@tbobborap1]

[@GlennDavey]

If you don't damage your RC plane every time you fly it are you really spending enough quality time in your workshop? Gotta have something to do when you return home from these meets!

Yepper I spent 300 plus hours building a Laser 200 had a OS Max 90 4 cycle. Flew it one entire summer, put her through many G loads and near the end of summer she fatigued on the port wing. Crash and burn, heart breaking to say the least

[@tbobborap1]

what was sadder was the model was built ten yrs ago and was then stored, and then this was its test flight ! deano was test flying her for lee and the 3mm threaded rod that goes into the clevis at the rear of the elevator push rod sheared off (we think due to hi vibration stress caused by the petrol engine during the flight !) so she died a virgin without having finished a test flight !!!!!!!

[@OsirisPL]

What do you mean "horrible feeling to see" or "sad to watch"? That crash looked great and was fun to watch 👍

It seems that people who enjoy RC planes as a hobby spend almost as much time as an air crash investigator as they do a pilot.

[@lectro88]

I built and flew back in the mid 80's 1st. was a sig kadet senior, a cap 40 and another 40 series top wing. I had 2 gold series Futaba 6 channel radios and that was about the time Nextel and cellular started hitting. The plane would sometimes start wagging rudder and elevator with no input from me on field. after a few years of un-responsive flights and crashes I gave up. 30yrs later getting the urge again. Are radio failures/brown outs still common or did they get that worked out.

[@tbobborap1]

[@TerryArthur1]

Was just looking at the Mustang at about 3:30 and I can't see any up elevator movement at all. What happened?

[@tbobborap1]

as you could hear the pilot lost elevator, when we examines the wreck we discovered that the 3mm push rod thread had sheared due to not being supported while being vibrated by the two stroke engine

[@afrog2666]

OOooOOOO, u lucky bassterd 😂

[@olias2k979]

I had a few dings with my gear. Then I started to think, hmm, grass grows, so cut it before the crew fly, then changed out the wheels for bigger and in cases lighter ones. More radius less friction and likelyhood of finding the micropothole Nose end cockover, fuel out of plane, engine heavier afteer flight, longer landing gear legs.

[@hukedonfonix1671]

That p51 hitting that well to scale mountain made my @$$ pucker and all I own is foamies so far, cant wait to really see how I react when I build and turn 1 to toothpicks, I assure you it wont take long unfortunately

[@LenfredDueck]

I suppose crashing your warbird on landing is just part of the scale experience. 😁

[@ColoradoStreaming]

I have a WWII Pacific Theater book and one of the pilot stories mentioned that his plane got damaged and he crash landed on the carrier. The deck crew just dumped the busted plane over the side and got him a new one. The guy mentioned the flight safety officer didnt even bother to show up.

[@rizon72]

It always seems like the landing gear is fragile on these.

[@blakespower]

has any of these rc planes ever lost radio contact? what happens then? do they just keep flying until they crash?

[@tbobborap1]

25 yrs ago maybe models lost signal on the old 35mhz systems but extremely rare today on the modern 2.4 ghz radios, modern radios have a fail safe that closes the throttle in the rare case that the signal is lost so that the model will fall to the ground close by with the engine / motor closed (a legal requirement that the pilot / owner must adhere to or face legal prosecution if theres a serious accident) in 10 yrs of using the modern radios i have had one model go into fail safe (lost signal and the throttle closed) and it fell safely into a farmers field, we do not fly near built up areas with houses etc so we are as safe as we can be blake !

[@echorhys1685]

1:39 is it just me, or is that Pappy Boyington's F4U Corsair

Are these planes to scale weight wise? They seem so light, especially the tail ends.

[@daw162]

Back in the 1990s, I was lucky to enjoy this hobby (but with arfs and .45/.46 engines). The older fellows in the group with more money would fly nicer scratch stuff, and they'd always say "be careful with it be careful with it! and when one of us would turn the airplanes into toothpicks, they'd say "these days, with the good glues we have, you can fix anything until it gets too heavy!!". Same word when parts flew. (thump) .."ouch"

I stopped and told him what was going on and that's my plane he said bull shit and took off.. we got his plate I filed a complaint.. so about a week later I get a call from the police department saying come pick up your plane.. it seems the guy was an off duty cop and was in a lot of trouble for his actions..
