Looks like standard wing stall due to low airspeed. The motor was revving high for most of the flight, and then could almost not be heard (guessing very low RPM- more or less idle motor speed) for the last many seconds of the flight. A VERY draggy airplane like this needs SOME throttle all the time, unless you have a very nose down attitude and are doing all you can to loose as much Altitude as possible- coming in for a landing is NOT that.. you need to keep SOME reasonable power going, or you will loose too much airspeed. That did not look like a bird- like at all. Not sure what it was, but that was not a bird.
Ouch. I have never lost one to a bird strike. Bad luck. My first ever plane was a P40 Flying Tiger. By the time I learned how to fly it, it was was mostly plastic cement.
BTW - the bird passed between the camera and the plane. The plane stalled.

That wasn’t the bird. The bird is far from the airplane and not even in the flight path. It seems like the airplane stalled
Beautiful build
Wow.. Fortunately it wasn't a total loss. Nevertheless it will cost many hours to get it back t its former glory..
Great model
I saw no sign of a bird strike. Whatever the cause, sad to see it go down but not as badly damaged as I expected.

Yess....the bird...and I am ironman.!
That's bullsht about the bird but such a shame about the plane .......😒😎
Your not wrong there the bird was no where near the plane
Looked like wake turbulence from the bird😉
I just want to know who trained a bird to shoot a plane out of the sky. That's the real story.
BANCE: Birds Against Noisy Combustion Engines...
😂😂😂
Very poor approach. Over powered flight.
Bird had nothing to do with it.
R/C pilot all the way to the ground.
Loss of signal?
It was the wake created by the bird lol
Was the bird an Albatros?
the plane exceeded critical angle of attack and no airspeed, bird my ass.
I think we found the least athletic people in the world
Tipstall
The bird did nothing, they say the model wasn't reacting anymore to the commands.
