I was always taught that the plane needs to be on the verge of a stall before flaring out the last speed to touch down gently. Most of the crashes on landing are because of excess speed or mainly because the pilot tried to force the aircraft down while it was too fast.
@@billblack8575 A lot of crashes with modern RC aircraft are because of retract failures. People go with them though, because as far as warbirds go, they look crap in the air with permanently deployed gear. If you want fixed gear, best to go with aircraft that aren't supposed to retract, or go super large scale, so the retractable gear is strong enough to work properly.
@@billblack8575 I don't understand how these people have so many issues with retracts, other than poor installations. I've had many models with air/spring, air/air, built in servo and external servo operated retracts and I've never had a single problem
The majority of these can be summed up as "Moron pilot" or "airplane malfunction and spectacular save." That first one especially with the Hawk was beautiful.
Great selection and editing Horst. Oh my - sad to see that (Yak was it) do a nose dive - big ouch, and the impact explosion/fireball too - totaled.. Lots of close calls but most at least fortunately fairly survivable.
Schöne Zusammenfassung unseres Hobbies. Es ist halt deutlich, kein Spielzeug und immer wieder eine Herausforderung für Modell und ganz besonders für den Piloten. Manchmal geht es gut 😊 und leider auch manchmal nicht. Es ist halt immer spannend und faszinierend. Wunderbar eingefangen lieber Horst. 2020 kann kommen.
It never ceases to amaze me how guys can be so good and building these beautiful scale planes and be so incredibly bad at landing! It is a bit of an artform but there are simple technics as well. Like ground affect. The cushion of air created by wing tip vortices...half the distance from the ground as the wingspan...on average and depending on wing type. (Delta wing for example). Or... not using right rudder on a single engine during take off and using back elevator on tail draggers to GENTLY allow the tail to come up and not nose over. Whether a plane is 2 pounds or 200 tons the same flight dynamics apply! It's all still simple aerodynamics. Some of these guys could really benefit from some real flight training!
Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated !!! 👍 _You probably didn't understand the title. There is always a situation where some things do not work as desired. All of these pilots can fly well, but sometimes it just doesn't work. Unfortunately, you don't write a single word about the great safes._
Kinda curious, how does the B2 model fly? The real life plane is basically impossible to fly without computers but it seems unlikely that the model has these, so is it just easier to fly due to being smaller?
_It didn't take me a long time to select the sequences of this MOMENTS, because I've separated them into an extra folder._ _thank you for your kind comment._ Cheers, Horst
Haha you have been in alzgern on the flight show haven't you? I saw the crash with the one plane who landed to early there live and I saw you. 😁. My brother and I filmed some flights too
RCScaleAirplanes I hope my mild sarcasm is taken with the humour it was meant with. I have the greatest respect for the model builders and pilots but in truth, this puts me off buying such kit because I just know one day fate would catch up with me and my pride and joy 380 Airbus would be in the canal ..... with no undercarriage.
@@GayorgVonTrapp Don't worry. Although my native language is not English, I have well understood your mild sarcasm. Unfortunately, most people don't understand what this video is all about. Even very good pilots sometimes have a MOMENT where they either misjudge the situation or their model no longer works correctly. Regarding the undercarriages, I would like to mention that they have a predetermined breaking point so that major damage can be avoided. Some pilots have then probably built this breaking point too unstable.
Would like to see you make some of your great videos of scale non-military RC models, i.e., Antique, Golden Age, Pre-WWII and post WWII general aviation (no-crashes) ( I'm a scale model builder/flyer and somewhat burnt out on warbirds.)
@@bryanp4827 that's a ridiculous thing to say. Once your flying at that level, you've got more than one helicopter, have crashed plenty, and understand that it's part of the game. Stupidest comment ever.

Sometimes you can save it and sometimes....aaahhhh! Racking fracking fracking snapping rack frack rocky mountain way ..you get the point.. lol
Awesome stuff Horst! Some really great saves. What happened at the 4 min mark - why would you try a slow roll so far away? Glad most of the planes survived!
I adore the ex MiG15 owner..he tried to look reallistic and make it perform as such in the air. Unfortunately for him he did not realise the true weakness of the original 15 and didnt strenghten the tail controlls .
Good video, although I don't get why the Komet and the glider were in there? What was wrong with those landings??? How else are they supposed to land, the Komet doesn't have any wheels (OK it clipped the grass tops slightly, so what), and the glider only as a single wheel. Awesome dead stick landing though, at least the pilot gets to find out why it went dead stick. Do feel sorry for the fireball dude though, you know when an aircraft hits that hards, its almost pointless going to see if anythings salvageable, you pretty much know its a case of taking a big dustbin along with you for all the firewood... and that landing with half a wing, that's how its done :) OK, shouldn't have lost the wing in the first place, but managing to land an RC model with half a wing, damn good flying, models aren't as forgiving as real aircraft, they don't like flying on a wing and a half.
4:03 looked like a real life disaster; fortunately it wasn't.
Looked epic asf

How was it not? It was a disaster, and it was real life?

Thousands of dollars and hours of labour gone just like that
Yep - just like the real thing! :)
So sad :(

It never fails to amaze me how many pilots try to put their craft on the ground while it still has plenty of flying speed.
It looks like it’s going 75% throttle which is way too much speed
I was always taught that the plane needs to be on the verge of a stall before flaring out the last speed to touch down gently. Most of the crashes on landing are because of excess speed or mainly because the pilot tried to force the aircraft down while it was too fast.
Still slower than a real plane
Just not experienced enough
I have to say honestly, I have done this myself a FEW Times! Mostly because my knees were knocking!! Lol
5:10 That Mig 15 was so fast that the tailplane failed, such a shame but amazing to see.
Actually flutter is why real MiG-15s were loosing control and crashing. These who don't know history are doomed to repeat it
That mig sounded amazing
Shame it crashed
@@eanayayo True, but that might be taking "scale" just a BIT too far.

yes, i replayed that part a thousand times, so gooood
Why don't some of these pilots go around for another approach. They are often completely out of runway, and yet still elect to continue the landing.
It also makes me afraid to try retracts because there seems to be a lot of problems with gear not deploying

Some of them should go back to the sim..
Just FYI: A loss of power landing is referred to as "Dead Stick", not Death Stick 01:54 Cheers
It didn’t even look like a dead stick the prop was still turning under power not just windmilling.
Death stick sounds better though so I'm going to use that from now on.
It wasn’t even “Death Stick” (dead stick)... engine was still running. Death Stick , what is that?

Great collection, Horst! Some great saves, and some very sad (and expensive) losses. Thanks for sharing this video with us all!!
0:35 Idk how he managed to keep it from flipping, I am genuinely impressed!!
4:05 wonderfully scale action 😊
From the length of the video i would say it was a pretty good year 2019 for rc planes
It was a good year for most of the Rc pilots, but I'm sure that there was many other crashes on events I didn't saw.
Hopefully more luck in 2020 👍😎
Most videos show you the good times but this is what the hobby is like in real life just part of the hobby
I disagree.
RC crashes at most clubs are quite rare in my experience.

Not all that bad. That first landing on two wheels was pretty darn good.
