Is this the coolest RC anything - ever?

Looks like the same weakness as the real thing...
Too tight a turn and it falls out of the sky....
There's a video somewhere of one doing that at a US airshow rehearsal. The pilot was about to retire, mentally unstable, and got miffed when told to go round again before landing...
Found it...

Looked to me like it was taking off into a strong headwind. I guess having a big difference between the ground and airspeed makes it quite a lot harder to judge what a smooth turn through the air would look like from the ground. I'd guess he underestimated the degree to which the plane should continue to run down field as he started to turn it back up wind, so he ends up putting it into a very steep bank and then splat.
Hope to hell nothing was under it when it pancaked. Looked bloody dangerous.

That B52 was pilot error, tip stalled on the turn.

Excellent. Bit of a dodgy landing though. Found this part particularly funny.
i can see i'm going to be haunted by that dodgy run for the rest of my life aren't i!
it was after all my first ever jet flight and i was really really excited

I think I'd be excited too - looked like great fun. I must say, I'd like a turbine scale heli one day...Gassing Station | Scale Models | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
