WOW !!! TURBINE EXPLOSION RC AW-139 BIG SCALE MODEL TURBINE HELICOPTER FLIGHT DEMO AND HARD LANDING

[@rrudydedogg3779]

I flew RC for just over twenty years and I thought it was the greatest hobby ever. I had a dedicated workshop, an enclosed trailer to haul my stuff around in and I had acquired a few giant scale warbirds kits to keep myself busy for the next few years. As was my way each kit already had the necessary engines, landing gear, accessories and radio gear before the first two sticks were glued together....I was in heaven! Well, I was until the trap door opened in 2008, the economy tanked and I didn't know if I would have a job from one Friday to the next. I had two planes go in within a couple of weeks of one another and I started accounting for my financial loss. When I got to $3,000 and the tally wasn't even done on the first plane I knew my hobby had ended. Like so many others in the hobby, we sold our stuff for pennies on the dollar and the hobby never did recover. What a shame.

[@vit8250]

This is sad to hear. You don’t have to go that deep into it eh. Just fly some cheaper planes or helicopter. Maybe not giant scale. Keep it simple. this hobby should be fun not take over your life and finances. Hope you get to fly again.

[@airhammer6203]

Yes, there was no fiery explosion. Everything is relative as to what happened. The timing of the turbine failure. The speed of the aircraft. The altitude. The flight attitude of the hell. In the end, all of these amazing circumstances coupled with the ability of an amazing pilot, brought a really expensive aircraft to the ground safely and in one piece. No one was hurt, no colaterall damage. It will fly again. To an RC Aviator, that means everything. AirHammer out!!

[@user-td1zo3tv9p]

Great model and flying skills. If you are here just to see the engine munch itself, go to ~ 5:42ish. Glad there wasn't any major structural damage and it was landed safely. Such as it was. GOOD JOB! Overnout

[@Jhardy64]

Perfect autorotation at low altitude, what a good pilot!

[@ussnavy1]

Veramente è stato un atterraggio '' forzato'' strisciato !!!!!!!!!

[@phishstyx]

It doesn't look like the turbine failed, but rather something mechanical in the drive/transmission. After the POP you hear the turbine accelerate RPM (no load), and the rotor system loses torque. After the landing it sounds like a normal turbine shutdown.

[@easyamp123]

+phishstyx This is also what I thought.Maybe the pto in the turbine itself. you can hear the unloaded turbine spin up but it also changes audibly as if something had opened up on the exhaust side? hmm? awesome helicopter

[@shurmurray]

+phishstyx it may be a turbo-shaft failure - the part that stays right after the main jet engine, but with no direct mechanical link to the jet engine's shaft.

[@HeliFlightRCU]

+phishstyx Ah, nice review. I appreciate the post.

[@nimueh4298]

Chey Thompson He was lucky that the engine failed at low attitude or else it would have been a total loss.

[@TraceyAllen]

@@nimueh4298 no the pilot immediately went into auto rotation. He cut power and went full pitch on the collective. Very well done.

[@Tom-049]

das ist ja der absolute Wahnsinn, ich wusste gar nicht das es so große Modelle gibt, und das man die fliegen darf. .....der Sound der Turbine, beeindruckend real.

[@hotrodavery]

Nice piloting. But I was expecting to see an explosion like the title stated...

[@johnrambo1349]

Yea its fking clickbait to get 2.8million views. We all fell for it. Fk. Thays why theres so many dumbs down.

[@Gamerboy-gy1rl]

That was a explosion lol

[@IamMagPie]

Since this is a scale helicopter, perhaps the explosion was scaled down as well...

[@michaellapierre1244]

The engine blew at the end. It was a cool video although unfortunate for the guy who lost the engine.

[@stumpycatvm7115]

thats what turbines do when they fail, plosion then immediate shutdown or fail if engine- sorry u eint see yor mushroom cloud

[@paktoysreview8377]

very good job

[@huey216]

I have over 2,200 hrs flying AW139 and I have to say I think your bird is fantastic. Full size it's PC1 Cat A and does incredibly well OEI. Great job.

[@frugalspoon1446]

This owner and pilot is the luckiest pilot and RC helo owner. I doubt the helo could survive from a higher altitude. The pilot has skills! Nice evaluation phishstyx. I personally like watching pre-flight assembly, take-offs, and landings.

[@maskog]

I definitely take my hat off for the pilot and I was clapping too after I recovered from the shock of the sudden explosion and 3sec landing. I hope to build a nerve of steel like the pilot someday. I hope the damage wasn't too bad.

[@thomasosborn4028]

That's a thing of beauty. Congrats on the save and kudos to your photographer. Hate those videos where the camera keeps losing the subject.

[@xxw379k]

Wow that was a skilled emergency auto-rotation landing! Impressing!

[@GlideYNRG]

Could See small puffs of smoke coming out of the exhaust occasionally in the hover. Nice save.

Die Turbine surt. Der Motor macht brum brum. Gefällt mir.

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

nice little auto-rotation there at the end!

[@RealLifeEddy2K]

+gunz-n-gadgets Hit the collective/throttle to early. Could of easily popped the gear and waited till absolute last minute to give full pitch.

[@schl0tte]

+gunz-n-gadgets it was just pancake landing

[@FaTeDev_com]

+Real Life Eddy do you know how heavy that is (I don't personally) to say that he could of auto rotated that long? Maybe its a fat bird and what he did was pretty impressive to save it.

[@Stevebacca]

+Real Life Eddy Turbine goes boom, as the pilot you dont know why. Set it down on its belly? Or risk a several thousand dollar machine for style points? your call.

[@jamesbrown6982]

Vario mid size 1.8m models weigh around 9kg, I think this model is a 2.3m and would weigh around 13kg

[@evantugby]

well, not quite an auto rotation but put it down well being so close to the ground. Well done. Beautiful heli too.

[@quantumphaser]

Lucky.⭐ Saved the Heli 🚁

[@bussardstriker]

Das Beste aus der Situation gemacht und toll recovered - guter Pilot 👌!!

[@JIMJAMSC]

Hats off to you scale,high $ flyers that keep em up. About 3 yrs ago I lost a scale Hughes 500 to a 25 cent servo control arm. Nice weathered paint,lights,full cockpit and treated/built and maintained like the full scale counterparts. Wish I could say I enjoyed flying it but tbo I was so concerned about something I had no control over "which is exactly what happened" occuring and destroying the craft, its all I thought about while flying. I still enjoy flying and watching others even more but scale,high end helis and planes were just to serious for me and I now enjoy a more relaxed attitude with less demanding/time consuming and less expensive aircraft. Glad you came out rather unscathed.

[@skirmich]

+JIMJAMSC Exactly why I dont do any sort of Air RC.. At least when I break something on a Road RC I can just swap the broken part.. A flying RC? Is mostly totalled.

[@JIMJAMSC]

I have tried it all. Cars,motorcycles,tanks,fast track cars and monster trucks. Submarines were by far the most demanding. Combining electronics with water. Making it sink and then come back up again. I had a 7 ft scale sub with ballast tanks and also a emergency tank to empty them and hopefully bring the craft back to the surface if signal is lost. Now being much older with less patience and eyesight I am into fpv small quad copters. Buzz around the yard,house.. You would have been laughed at if you imagined these when I started.

[@skirmich]

JIMJAMSC I´m also in FPV with off-roads and crawlers :D but why subs? how do you see them work? you need to dive with them or have a giant fish tank to play on?

[@JIMJAMSC]

When the nearby lake is clear I can get good reception down to 6-8 ft. Thats looking down from a dock. Most times you run partially submerged,add water which causes it to go under and bring it back up. Sold it but have a unboxed Thundertiger sub which I plan to run in my pool. BTW- I put a nice cam designed for quad copters on a 10 crawler and used goggles and almost puked. Way to jumpy. On a monitor maybe but fpv with goggles off road makes me puke.

[@skirmich]

Yeah you need a good steady cam or tune your off road to super soft suspension.

[@antonoosthuizen228]

Good pilot, to land like that with no fan, well done

[@tomtalker2000]

EXCELLENT piloting after that turbine explosion. These are NOT TOYS by any means folks. And they take skilled pilots to fly them. I hope it was repairable considering the cost of this hobby. And i'm quite sure it will be.

[@silverdrillpickle7596]

Thank goodness you were able to auto-rotate it successfully!

[@indridcold8433]

Very nice autorotate at the end. Knowing about autorotation seems like perhaps the model pilot may be a pilot for a full scale helicopter or may know a pilot for a full sale helicopter.

Lucky save. That would have been an EXPENSIVE crash :)

[@simplywonderful449]

Not "luck" at all - pure skill. Turbine failures are very rare, and the pilot did a terrific job of getting it down without damage. Having flown R/C helis and full-sized Bell LongRanger/JetRanger helicopters, I can tell you that the real thing is much EASIER to fly than these models, even with gyros and heli-specific radios.

[@Soundfactory24]

hat das was mit dem angeborenem Sensations-Tourismus zu tun, dass Videos mit "Explosion" die meisten Klicks bekommen ? ;-) Gute Landung - möge ein solch guter RC-Pilot einen Verunfallten "echten" Heli mal genauso gut heil an den Boden bringen !

[@AsimSiddiqui007]

Is there a difference between a little tiff smoke and an explosion? It doesn't look like the turbine failed as the engine was still producing torque. It probably was a mechanical issue.

Great to see the pilot and crew can walk away from that, more exactly walk over and retrieve. Great flare out and recovery, only time on the sticks can make that happen! The model looks so realistic head on with the heat from the exhaust! Well done for the awesome video's

[@F-Man]

Brilliant pilot skill! No further damage to the aircraft, safe emergency landing. In the real world at full scale, that would have definitely been a survivable landing. Makes me wonder if the pilot actually flies real helicopters for a living...
