watching these pilots trying to fly thru an inevitable stall and 40 years later I can still hear my dad standing next to me saying "get that nose down!"
Probably the most inaccurate thing I've read all year to date. The PROBLEM was the landing technique on most of the crashes. There was ZERO flair or attempt to land on the mains and then letting the nose or the tail settle down naturally. Instead, pilots were dropping planes onto their landing gear, which wouldn't work on a real plane or a toy RC one for that matter. People love to blame the plane when it's almost always the pilot...
@@myksanchez1222 said like another "flight simulator pilot" trying to teach others - if you flair RC plane it will land backwards on its tail and RC planes do not "settle" if there is any wind around.
You can't build landing gear strong enough to absorb those landings . The gear did not stand a chance .Landing skills have to improve and some landing straps are very uneven .
@@randomnickify sure they settle just fine IF they are trimmed correctly, and in the case of higher winds flaps are a bad idea.I have 40+ years flying RC and scale pilots generally are the least skilled pilots flying the most difficult planes to fly. Do a search for Pattern Plane crash compilation and you wont find any. Why? Because Pattern planes are great flying planes flown by the best pilots.
This evening I was walking down the street and stopped in a little funky shop to look around. By looking at the outside you would NEVER even walk through the door. But I did. And guess what they have hanging from the ceiling?? Yeah...some old, BIG R/C aircraft. I have to go back for a closer look, but one I spotted had about a 3ft. wingspan and Coast Guard paint with pontoons...yeah...I'll be going back soon....BARN FIND!!! I think I saw at least 6 or 7 total hanging there....all older and big...I love it...when guys made real quality R/C's...
Trim the aircraft for landing .Do not try to control it n with elevator .If the aircraft is doing the dolphin dance retract the gear and do a belly landing .Damage will be minimal and easier to repair than rebuilding the landing gear !
The scale pilots never disappoint, the backbone RC crash compilation video though in this case mostly just hard landings in poor flying conditions. Beautiful detailed scale aircraft flown by great craftsmen that just need to get out more often in bad conditions with their beater RC planes to keep the flying skills in top form. That and beef up your landing gear systems. Geez Oh and one other thing, don't use flaps on windy days.
That Connie is a beautiful model... thankfully looks like there was no damage...most of this are what I would call arrivals ...didn't see any brain fart crashes...can't believe how what appears to be flimsy retracts on those very expensive jets are..thanks for the video..👍👍
Looks to be mostly landing gear and engine problems. Pretty typical anymore. People flying foam are usually the ones who are suffering the biggest faults of skill or hardware.
Retracts and flaps. People who fly warbirds with flaps should get into the habit of raising them upon touch down - when you don't want that extra lift.
I love your videos! I’ve been watching ever since I first got into the hobby at 7 years old, I’m 15 now. You are one of my favorite RC RUclipsrs out there
Second RC Hurricane incident (u/c leg failure during landing) is uncannily similar to a Hawker Hurricane incident some years ago. Can't recall whether it was IWM Duxford or Biggleswade, but the a/c behaved exactly the same. (I think it was a BBMF a/c)
Hey Pete! Long time since I dropped by! Hope you're well. I can't help thinking whenever I see a 109 come in to land, it's going to crash,just like the real thing, tricky sob's😅
hi bull, yes its been a while my friend - hope alls well with you and family ! all good here except im a lot greyer now, ive just noticed that you have been subscribed to us for ten yrs now - wow hasnt time flown m8 - tempus fugit
jets are tended to be built as light as possible (as with most models) and the bare minimum wood and fixtures are used where possible and a familiar theme with modern composite sports jets now is how small and weak the u/c bearers are through out the model to save weight but cause more grief if the model is landed anything other than near perfect,
I disagree, most - if not all - of those Retract problems weren't caused by structural faliure, but poorly adjusted /maintained mechanics (pilot/builder issue) or lost pneumatic pressure (somehow pilot/builder issue as well🤭) @@tbobborap1
they had no choice - as this was a paying / public show (booked 6 months previously) and several thousand people turned up over the wkd expecting an airshow - so these unpaid brave pilots / owners chose to fly to entertain the public,

Too windy for most pilots. This is made worse by the vfact most scale pilots have very few hours flying their planes or any plane for that matter as they spend much more timer building
I'm betting the Connie was servo failure, they were still held by the air even on the ground, my guess is the valve didn't open when the bad servo didn't move it. Had it happen to me with air retracts.
That Constellation is spectacular.
thanks
Looks to be the one Carl Bachuber built.

lol - yep ive similar memories too
Many of the problems here are weakly built landing gear.
Thank-you professor obvious for that astute observation

Sometimes flaps are your friend, sometimes they're you enemy.

@@icin4d Or not use them at all in strong wind.
@@darkiee69 Agree.
Do retractable landing gear ever actually work?? Most fold up on landing.
Ein sehr schönes Jahr 😅
Die schöne Constellation...
That Conney had good landing ! 😊😊

wow - That is awesome, many thanks for your kind words wulf, thanks for supporting our channel over the years - regards pete,
Nice to see spinners doing there job as brakes. Isn’t that what they’re for? 😂 Great footage as always. Cheers👍
Thanks seve 👍
How is the fist plane called?
Lockheed super constellation but everyone calls her Connie

Boom
Pneumatic retracts are the bane of my existence. I will never use them again if I can help it. :)
Probably won't have a choice since Robart closed it's doors.

2:55 classic take off stall.
his engine cut
Ouch many times over 😂😂😂. Was that Jay flying the 1st plane?
Money & skill are so far removed from each in the toy plane hobby😂😂😂
It is just amazing how some people have such nice planes but no idea how to fly them lol
Litteraly if you’re not careful with rc planes in crosswind it might end kamikaze to the ground
So many landing gear failures and pilot error. Jets seem to have universaly weak nose gear. What's up with that?

First ep. of good landing heavy craft. Better impossible!
The second you touch down flaps come up
The most difficult thing by flying rc planes is: Not hitting something mid air. Sadly the most often hitting thing mid air is: Planet Earth.
It seems like a majority of the suffering in this world of sin and woe is caused by retracts.
Gusting 40mph, seems like a good day to fly!

That's awesome, it looks like quite the show with some very good stick and rudder skills!@@tbobborap1
You guys need asphalt or concrete and then you'd stop tearing up your landing gear.
I never owed a RC-Plane with retractable gear. But if I did, I would carefully check and reinforce the gear
if only rc modelling was that easy werner 🤣🤣🤣
Apparently it was not a good year to fly a hurricane
Rip spitfires😢
Busted landing gear is such a pain in the ass to fix!
Teh 2nd plane literally had the best landing ever like it aas crazy
0:28 that’s a big ass plane dayum
TWA ! hat went down too.
Shame to see these beautiful little works of art crash.
Glad to see retracts are just as useless as they were 20 years ago
Doesn’t anyone have a lawn mower or a lawn roller? At least , not much damage.👍
Sehr Windig!
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Twa crash how ironic
Some rc pilots don't know how to go around
great builders...bad flyers

They should practice their landings

most of the planes were the same and they crashed the same way

???????? where
Retracts fail all the time.
way too windy to fly
no it wasnt, these models are allowed to fly in winds up to 25mph at public shows - it was blowing round 22-23 mph !
Too windy for most pilots. This is made worse by the vfact most scale pilots have very few hours flying their planes or any plane for that matter as they spend much more timer building
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME WHEN I CHATON COMENTS IT TEXT RAMDON WORDS WHEN I DONT WANT IT TO FUCKING DO THAT PLUS SPEEDY MCQUEEN IS WAY BETTER
What the actual fuck is this comment? 💀
I'm betting the Connie was servo failure, they were still held by the air even on the ground, my guess is the valve didn't open when the bad servo didn't move it. Had it happen to me with air retracts.
Electric, no air involved :-)
@@fxpeter22 So a bad battery connection then? It had to be a power fault.
Something along those lines@@bitemykrank1970
