  • Video starts with short clips of Daves shiny Eflite balsa Stearman, what a beauty!
    Jim maidened his B-25J and had a bit of misfortune perhaps aided by shifting winds. She looked great but dropped at the last second and bounced so Jim initiated go-around like most pilots would instinctively do but evidently one of the props struck the ground and was damaged enough to cause an asymmetric thrust situation with ensuing loss of control.
    It will require a replacement fuselage but she will be back!

    That's a bummer.
    It had a hell of a first mission.

    2nd landing the same as the first and with that jet assisted rudderless take off, well there you go.

    That sucks! I feel your pain. I crashed mine it's 3rd flight. I was so bummed out I bought a second one. How bad was yours?

      He already has replacement fuse coming she will be back and I will put up more video of it's glorious return!

    Yuuup, that's what happens when you try to make the impossible turn.

      Well really he wasn't trying to turn. When she came down on the runway the right prop struck the tarmac damaging it. Pilot did not realize this and simply applied full power to go around for another attempt. You can even see a piece of the prop fly off in the video. The left motor was producing normal thrust but the right was not which is what caused it to turn.

      @@MrDLRu oh okay, ya never know. I do watch Gryder and also Blancolirio. Not sure what 1:1 means, maybe what it's called when you lose an engine on a twin and try to turn back to runway to land?

      @@AerialRCFun ...1:1 is the real thing. Yes, twin or single at low altitude, low speed and they think they can do a turn back and stall. Dan will tell you not to do that. Why pilots do that is, they're thinking about the expensive plane also, which is understandable. Ones chances are far better to crash at level flight, than to fall inverted straight down after a stall. Pilots are being poorly trained in my opinion. I've watched Dan so much, I feel I have a better understanding of what to do and not to do more than some pilots out there..Like with twin that loses engine at take-off....Right engine out, level off, never turn toward bad engine side of plane, gears up if not already. Yet, a bunch of experienced pilots have done just the opposite of that and they're all dead now.
      A guy at our RC park had a B17 that was mint and flew it around the park 3 times before it crashed in...that was sad to watch.

      @@MrDLRu The guy flying the B25 is an older gentleman who was in full scale aviation as a pilot and instructor for years. He has a darn good batting average this is the first real crash I've seen him do outside of maybe an occassional minor wing scrape so it was very unexpected. I was not going to post video but we were talking and he was okay with it so I thought that was cool. He also told me he likes to put non-stock softer tires on his planes and the extra compression they allow might have been just enough to allow that right prop to contact the tarmac on a hard touchdown.
