- A mix of great and not-so-great flights filmed at the Tokoroa Airfield (NZTO) last weekend. Damn, I'm really starting to notice the effect that Parkinson's is having on my ability to video this stuff and it sucks!. This is just a very rough cut from the mass of footage I took. I'll be doing some more detailed videos on the F86 Sabre, Lightning and other models that were featured later this week.
Not too many crashes this weekend. RC plane, planes, turbines

That arrest grass growing on the sides of the runway is worth every penny.
Surprising the number of jet jockies who want to land these high wing loaded models at speeds you'd land a 40 sized RC plane! Stall near the ground and the most useless thing you have is the airspace above you!
That EE Lightning looks really good!! I remember as a kid watching the real thing flying with the Vulcan Bomber, never forget the noise and ground shaking!!
Condolences to the little pilots in the models and their family's, rip.
Thanks for the video Bruce. Some of the airmanship and piloting skills shown here were terrible though. Back to AXN school for some of those guys...
Needed more crashes
That lightning looks amazeballs
Lightning!
Some of those guys should not be flying those big heavy fast jets! Scary.
Yep. This is what happens when you have a lot more money than skill.
Half of then don’t know how to flare then wonder why their gear always collapses 🤷🏻♂️
The other half flare 6ft off the ground and wonder why they stall into a hard landing 🙄
LOL. I know it's like they just fly directly into the ground, or else land as if ground is 5 feet higher than it is, or land after 3/4 of the runway is behind them. Crazy.
The club members need to sit these guys down for a little chat.
On approach, it looks like they're twirling the flight stick in circles.
Someone's going to get a big jet in their ear....
@@robk.5467 lol I'm picturing them doing that on approach now hahaha it totally looks like that
Nice planes and footage. Love the lighting and the F4! Cheers for sharing.
That Phatom shocked me. Perfect.
I like the F 4 Phantom most of all great video!!!!!
Nice F4 Phantom near the end. :)
Thanks for capturing the strikemaster landing incident Bruce. It will help us diagnose what went wrong and where we can improve. Clearly not turning it on its back would be a good start :-) The good news is that the damage seems quite light - a lot of scrapes and grazes mostly but we will look at all structure and components in detail later. The aircraft will be repaired and put back in the air better than before.
I was just thinking watching the turn over that it could have been alot worse. Canopy, vertical fin and the pods by the looks (aside from having an xray done). I hope ya get it fixed without too much trouble.
Tarquin Brooks model looks ace mate
Used to have a few Saudi coloured strikemasters as a youngster 👌
Didn’t look like it took too much damage either
First hint I have for you is free : Get Motherfucking skills and try to approach on speed and not with hauling ass speed. Every single Pilot in this Video lacks basic skills of landing. Get another hobby or learn about aerodynamics you rich tards!
Maik I look forward to seeing videos demonstrating your pilot skills so they can benefit from your experience and example. Please link here for convenience.

3:20 i cant believe how quickly it rolled around after the wing tip tank fell off
Surprised me as well. Think it snap rolled due to the pitch up, yaw and cross wind. A deliberate snap roll usually involves stalling one wing.
Great video of some very nice big hour build planes, flying to match mmmmm
Wow I’ve never seen an RC turboprop before, looks fantastic!
Thumbnail as the very first seconds of the video : I see this as an absolute win
Those jets great , landing them a bit of a handful and much carnage . Waiting for part 2 . I don't care about the shaky filming Bruce , you can only do your best :-)
They want chutes or airbags for the pilots.
That F4 Phantom at the end of the video is a heart throb. Damn the F4 Phantom is the sexiest plane to ever grace the skies.
Keith Whisman -It is as a fighter but, I love the McDonald-Douglas T-38s more. Best looking supersonic trainer ever.
_Very nice compilation !_ 👍😎
RCScaleAirplanes -You guys are still the best. Keep those magnificent airplanes and videos coming.
@@charlesbishop7583 _thank you very much. we will do our best to keep you entertained._ 😉👍
The Sabre and Lightening jets were awesome looking!
That F-4 Phantom at the end almost fooled me, looks like the real thing. Awesome plane, and filming.
Wow...i really thought you guys had that field all to yourself....pretty much all the time. The jets are cool....too fast for me....at my age. And too expensive. Break my heart to crash it....lol.
Can't wait to see the next part!
Good job at least someone was on the spot to video the event. Live your work.
Very educated, although some do not know that the wind is here.... from the beginning of the world.Thanks so much Bruce.
Awesome vid. Those Jets are CRAZY! So sad when one is lost, or damaged, definitely a different loss than a foamy.
Camera work still looks excellent, honestly. The quick-cuts are a good laugh - loved the "why hello there" invert pass at 1:43 - and ooouuuch, that poor Strikemaster. Hope she's buffed out soon. :O
The EE lightning looked impressive
Dam they look so real when you film them low on the ground. Big Thanks for that must be hard to do.
Your camera work and editing skills just keep getting better. Love it.
Well composed video. Better than most, with your low height shots!
Thrilling!
I love your footage, the low angle shots are sublime. Thank you for sharing. Sorry to hear about your Parkinson's having an impact on your ability to video, that's a bummer.
A bummer? Parkingson's is just a BUMMER? Wow. It really really REALLY, is a bummer to put it lightly.
Definitely a few ouch moments in there. 😂
love it!
Some great low angle shots...you beat Parkinson's there, for sure.
Good thing the grass was a bit high...
Thanks Bruce. It strikes me that a number of those pilots don't understand the high stall speeds of their aircraft, or the fact that some of the more modern jets are deliberately designed to be unstable, for better manoeuvrability. The full-size aircraft are designed to be flown under computer control, because they are too much for an unassisted pilot o control.
GREAT SHOTS!
Those low-angle taxiing shots are so good. 👌
Interesting, the right aileron twitching on the F 4, and he still took off, and a lot of the others obviously with too much control movements,,,
Hell yeah, saw that and thought my tv was glitching haha. No way that should have been flown. Make s you wonder how many have their wings..... as stated in babis xalkias post above someone says they are just builders, not pilots. Think I agree with that. I can fly alot better than some (not all) of them.
Time stamp please? I don't know what an F4 looks like, nor cam I name most of these aircraft by their model :p
Oh, I think it's pretty obvious which one it was at about 4:00
I took off with that today. But mine was cardboard and my brother was leaving town. I did put it down almost right away though.
Does it actually show the F-4 taking off? I didn't see it.
Some of those jets look like the real deal!
awesome video.... so looking forward to part 2 ;)
Thanks mate.
That F-86 Sabre is beautiful
Spectacular Excellent.
Saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina.
👍👍👍👍👍
Many of those jet pilots would benefit from practising lots of cross wind landings with an FMS EZ Trainer. Once they can repeatedly put one down without knocking the wheels off they could move back onto the jets and do far less damage.
Good stuff here. Must second S. Kite's observation below but, I would replace, "a bit of a handful" a double handful! ! I can't imagine that all of those flyers were novices but those aircraft were making them out to be. I'm also guessing that there was a helluva cross wind component as well.
Some very lovely models there Bruce and some very tough landings, almost looked like cross wind landings...
BTW, your secretary didn't use spell checker for your end of video thank you as she put alread instead of already ..... lol
I am happy to report that all the little rc pilots , none were injured in the making of this video
God, that Phantom had aileron flutter when taxiing never mind in the air!
Gonads1259 saw it too!
YOU CAN ALWAAAAYSSSS GO ARROUNDD!! 🎶
Never understand why some of these guys try to bring their jets in as if its a high wing trainer!?????
It seems like that's all they've ever flown (if that!)
Thumbnail was just the right pick ! Sorry to hear for your Parkinson, Bruce, I hope you don't suffer too much. Regards from France.
Jesus! That intro made me jump!
XD
Great skills😉
More Expo needed in most cases. Back on the Buddy box for Many of them!
A reason why i fly with console - transmitters. You can fly much more precise and it is much easier to set the sticks stable i a position especially with crosswinds. Elevator and Ailerons together and rudder and throttle together makes it much better to react to stabilize the landing configuration.
such amazing models...such terrible piloting skills
This video is only showing the bad side. Mistakes happen, it’s just part of the hobby.
Love to see these lovely models , but to see them come to grief 😖
I hope these jets are coming to 'Warbirds Over Awatoto' in Feb 2019, especially the English Electric Lightning, Jet Provost/Strikemaster, F86 Sabre Jet, and the F4 Phantom along with the Typhoon II Eurofighter! Well, all of them really!
Nice video, your camerawork still looks great! And guys, what's with all the jealous-sounding snark about the crashes? It happens!
love the "Blunty" and the Lightening, sorry I wasn't there something else came up, great video bruce well done :)
There is no E in Lightning.
That F-86 Sabre is beautiful, but they may need to strengthen the front landing gear.
That F-4 right aileron had extreme flutter
The L-39 pilot was smooth.
That f14 at the start scared me
That Eurofighter looks nice.
Are these guys coming in to slow for landings and almost stalling, is that why they are having some hairy landings ?
They always do seem to be doing “controlled” crash landings....
In their defence the runway at Tokoroa is more “north/south” and the prevailing wind is always from the west-hence you will notice them all get hairy at about 15ft up and some more so as they get lower. I don’t know what the wind was like there today as I didn’t go to see Bruce but 30mins up the road where I was flying she was fair gusty on and off all day.
John T Airports have always traditionally been constructed to align with the prevailing winds.....
David Webb the one at Tokoroa ISNT because the prevailing wind blows across the runway from the western side where the hangars are (I fly there often). Tokoroa airport used to be fully surrounded by trees and dense forest when it was constructed (Bruce will correct me here if I have anything wrong), so at the time the prevailing wind from the west likely wasn’t an issue (due to all the shelter from the trees). Over the Decades they have deforested the central north island quite extensively, hence we almost always have a Bas&@rd crosswind across the runway (as Bruce himself will tell you). Plenty of us have been caught out by it plenty of times, and I know if you watch Bruce’s videos of full size planes landing from the south end quite often the nose will swing toward the hangar side of the runway due to that wind. In summer it’s fantastic-just about nothing at all, but this time of year it can get quite savage.
I guess scale models are just crap to fly compared to ones designed for RC size.
Good video, it's a good thing that marker lights don't seem to be installed along the run way!
Not nice when any plane crashes but I was real sad to see that Strikemaster go!
Sure nice to see the Lightning and Strikemaster. Loads of good piloting, but I guess the ooops! moments always look better! Don't worry about the Parkinsons. Seen a steady device years ago that acted almost like a shock absorber? Wish I could remember more about it. Sorry.
1:44 "Keeping up with foreign relations" "You know, giving him the finger".
Seems as though there was turbulence from some source. The rising heat from the runway could be a contributing factor for irregular thermals causing the air to become very unstable in ground effect. Take a longer final and come in a little hotter than usual and let the plane fly to the ground, not into the ground. Tried this same technique in the real ones and greased a landing each time.
That guy was determined to block your shot...
about Parkinson's.. don't give it a damn...the final viceo came out great. by the way, some one could make a real good money selling training cables
What are amazeballs
00:01 Here we see how the induced drag has a big effect.
When the thank in the wingtip drop, the lift is greatly reduced at the wingtip.

Sal Popo, do you think it's moral to lie about santa dumbo? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do none of these guys understand ground effect ???
Parkenson my foot. those rc controls, for the jets, are in other peoples hands
What was that guy doing with locktide 5 mins before take off?
Roman Bosch ... Fending off riptide.
Cool beans!
i like these raw edits. Grab a tripod if you need it.
You just don't get the freedom of movement with a tripod -- and you can't get close to the ground either. A good tripod (with fluid-damped head) costs $$$$ anyway.
Maybe a monopod (you can make one). Right and the close to ground scale shots really what made this video awesome, i should have mentioned that. love it when a plane rolls by and i can't tell if it is real or not. i made a handheld gimbal (with hero 4) i put on a selfi stick to try and get low close to ground shots. When i'm filming with big camera i always use one of those cheap steadicams.
Nice camera work.
So sorry you’re dealing with such a horrible disease and I don’t have anything but a comment. I started flying control line models at 8 years. Been flying both R/C and C/L for about 50 years. I’m also a private pilot. I have no turbine experience so maybe the nature of the beast might explain why they don’t execute a go around when the approach is so out of line? The approach is so bad they try to fly it to the ground instead of a nice stabilized approach that only requires minor input to hit the runway? Just venting I guess. It pains me to see such nice aircraft damaged from being low and slow to the point they snap stall a few feet above the runway. Great video. I enjoy the immensely.
That second one looked real
Gonna be honest, you're about 20x more stable with the camera than my dad... That's not an exaggeration, and he doesn't have Parkinson's, so I'd say your camera work is actually really good. I didn't even notice anything out of the ordinary! Either you've got one heck of a camera auto-stabilization, or you're being too hard on yourself, even I can't film airplanes nearly as good as what you did. Cheers!
Seeing the right aileron bouncing around just while taxiing on the ground tells me that it could be lost in a high speed flutter disassembly while flying.
Hope it didn't happen but hope SOMEONE brought it to the pilot/owners attention.
Missed coming down today...
*Sees the first clip*
Well this will be interesting
Strong crosswinds maybe?
No... there was a slight breeze down the runway. I think it was the lack of wind that may have contributed -- it meant a much higher ground-speed on landing.
Are jets so much more difficult to land or do those modellers have more depth to their pockets than depth of their flying ability? Either way they put on a great show, no way I could afford one or fly one, lol.
Geordie NUFC wind
That’s your best thumbnail ever and it’s not even photoshopped click bait! It’s legit click bait 😛
Was there something screwy going on with conditions that day? I tend to assume these guys know how to fly, but things got tetchy for most of them on approach.
to be able to land your model successfully by being on runway edge, it is necessary to have a lot of experience and landings are not always successful, if we had a front view through a camera placed on the nose of the plane and connected to your smartphone, would be ideal ( virtual reality glasses )
, I'd love to see your Grumman A-6 Intruder.
What kind of field only flies huge jets like this...?
03:00 That has never been a Swiss airplane :)
That Lightning.
Yep... that's why I've done a whole separate video on it. Check it out.
That stuffs very cool. Why don't they make the landing gear longer and stronger though? That looked like a lot of very harsh landings.
I can't get over that they don't fly these very expensive machines with out some fpv gear.
What puzzles me is that these high performance aircraft designs as models don't seem to be using auto stabilizing systems for take off and landings? Rgds Laurie
Somebody skipped the .40 sized trainer stage by the look of it.
Good thing those people are flying waaaaay out int he country
You can spot a mode 2 flyer a mile away...
