      mikkel hansen I am no expert but I think that disassebling- cleaning and reassembling would have done the job. Plus there is no way to estimate what's going wrong causing a fire while it is still burning and causing more damage

      Antonios Sfakiotakis Powder actually ruins metal and all electronics. Makes it rust after 6 months if not removed by either a hard air compressor or some chemicals. So foam would work better. Or do as the guy in the end (looks like the owner) to blow from the front and trough the jets.

  • @nzbalsa
    @nzbalsa 10 лет назад +179

    Here is the reason why....
    There were no afterburners for a start.
    Why the long start? Pretty simple, one engine blew a glow plug, so just as easy to use a lighter up the back end, But before you do the engine has to cool down to 90 deg before it will allow another start.
    Why did both engines blow? Not one of you were close to a guess, Do to the fact both engine systems were separate the best guess is a voltage spike killed the ECU's causing the runaways, Both ecu's were electrically fried when I looked at them. seems they shorted and put full battery voltage to the pumps hence the engines blowing and then not stopping when back on the ground until battery power was cut.
    I quite like how xjet changed the video description from lucky save and great piloting to calling it reckless and endangering, How would he know? I was flying the model, I had a fair idea of what was going on, I also had full control, no problems as they say.. More like sour grapes for xjet getting kicked off the flying site.

    • @xjet

      If you think that turning a burning model back towards a crowd of people gathered in the pits is a safe move then that's fine. Personally, I would put the safety of innocent people ahead of trying to rescue my burning jet -- but that's just me.

      most...not all, but most, spark plug CDI systems are large and heavy, and fire a pulse, not a long sustained spark like the glow plug which just needs a battery and a wire.

    • @NoeticSystem
      @NoeticSystem 7 лет назад +22

      I have some firefighting training. What we have here is a class B fire, with a flammable liquid and its vapors. The materials in the aircraft and its engines are above the ignition temp of the fuel. CO2 works by displacing oxygen away from a fire, breaking the chain reaction. However, CO2 is not very good at cooling the material, unlike water. So, when the extinguishing agent disperses, the reaction immediately resumes, because of the residual heat. You can't use water on liquid fuel fires because it just spreads the blaze everywhere. If they used dry chem extinguishers, that'd put the fire out right away and keep it out, but the aircraft would be very difficult to restore with that nasty powder in there. Smothering it with firefighting foam is another option.

      @DieyoungDiefast 8 лет назад

      CO2 may have put the fire out, but for a jet engine fire, foam would have been a better (if messier) option, Why?, Foam has a cooling effect which CO2 doesn't, hence the fire reigniting again and again.

    • @tylerbonser7686
      @tylerbonser7686 8 лет назад +1

      DieyoungDiefast Its not that the foam has a cooling affect its the fact that it doesnt dissipate like CO2 does. The foam keeps the area covered and starved of oxygen.

    • @ArizonaGoldHunters
      @ArizonaGoldHunters 8 лет назад +1

      These small Turbines have very sensitive bearings and parts on them, and even have electronics on the front of the engine with diodes and transistors for the temperature, and RPM sensors. Foam would have worked better for this type of fire, I agree, but CO2 has no damaging effect. on the sensitive electronics. the pilot did the right thing, he killed the turbine power, but I believe the fuel pump was still running. once he killed that, the fire went out. The fire crew, should've kept spraying CO2 to cool the engines below the ignition temperature of the Kero.

    If I’m not mistaken, those turbines have a cool down sequence and will continually keep the engines running and/or spinning after throttle cut to prevent locking the compressor and turbine wheels in the case until temps drop. I think this is why the engine fires kept reigniting even after the first few sprays by the extinguishers. When the man shutoff or disconnected the fuel is when the extinguishers could really help the most.

      Lester Hartness You keep it on the source of the flames constantly until the extinguisher is exhausted. Using it in little blasts like that allows the fire air, allowing it to continue burning.

      Looked to me as if that was what they were doing. They exhausted a number of them.

    • @tinglydingle
      @tinglydingle 10 лет назад +1

      Lester Hartness They were doing it in short bursts rather than one continuous one, that allows the fire air rather than smothering it entirely.

    • @theflashingscotsman
      @theflashingscotsman 10 лет назад +1

      You do a short burst, and the fire is out. It RE-IGNITES, and you try again. After a couple of times, you realize what's going on, and you give it all you got. Hey, they saved the airplane. That's more than a lot of people would have done. I've seen people aim an extinguisher at the hood of a car when the engine was on fire.

    that's what you get for giving it the tail number of 149. I hated that damned jet. ironically because its engines leaked and vibrated out of limits like crazy all the damned timed time.

      @shindoushuichi0287 10 лет назад +6

      I was an Engine mechanic in the 23rd Fighter Wing on A-10c's for 6 years. worked on probably 80% of the jets in the entire fleet. and 149 was always a problem jet. its engine vibration recoding system had to be re-wired like 3 or 4 times in the 6 years I worked on it, just because it had just so many ghosts and gremlins in the system. It also never stopped leaking even with new engines on it. somehow even refurbished engines would just leak oil or hydro, for no observable reason. we would swap parts out all the time trying to get it to stop but it just was a freaking drama queen.

    @dayvurd65 11 лет назад +4

    well to me this looks like they're using Co2 extinguishers, which in an environment outside like where they are is pretty pointless. there is oxygen everywhere, no wonder they have to ask for more extinguishers. powder or foam extinguishers they should be using on this

    • @bri8774
      @bri8774 11 лет назад +3

      CO2 is the standard here as it doesn't damage the engine. You shoot dry chem in one and you're pulling it and sending it to the factory for a tear down (with a fat check).

    • @bri8774
      @bri8774 11 лет назад

    • @maxjet03
      @maxjet03 5 лет назад

      You keep the fire extinguisher going till it’s empty. This will take the heat out of the triangle needed for a fire. HEAT - FUEL- OXYGEN are needed for fire. Remove one and no fire

      @lucah1824 10 лет назад +33

      Uhhm that "Toy" costed around 10k$ to get just the parts since they made it themselves. So you're saying that you would not react like that if it was a "Toy" no matter what the price and that plane isn't a toy, it's a hoby and an expensive one at that like model train sets.

      @justinkesner5099 10 лет назад +27

      Why wouldn't you put the fire out? If something belonged to you and caught fire, would you just watch it turn to ash? Seriously, your comment is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. As the these other guys said, this "toy" as you call it is very expensive and this toy also goes extremely fast, their construction requires extreme skill. You're not going to find these at a toy store, which is why they're not toys.
      The men in the video aren't worried about a "toy pilot" dying. They're worried about protecting a substantial investment. Frankly, I think if someone were worried about the death of a toy pilot, they would have to be on your level of intelligence. In other words, they would have to be dumber than a bar of soap.

    Def a fuel problem/leak there. You need three things to support a fire (fire triangle) A fuel source such as liquid fuel or solid fuel, O2 (ever present) & a source of ignition, in this case the high temps.
    Damned lucky event there:-)
