1000's of hours of work for three minutes of fun followed by a miserable, tearful journey home, an argument with the wife, a night on the sofa, another argument about the cost of your hobby in the morning and you are back at the workplace grind on Monday.
I have a commercial drone pilots licence and have done a lot of flying big RC single rotor helicopters, but it still amazes me to watch guys flying 3D aerobatic helicopters, how they can keep their brain tuned into the helicopters 3D orientation in space and command it correctly when it's flipping and turning around all over the place so quickly.
@@ghsfdl4350 exactly. I didn’t say I didn’t enjoy watching others enjoy it. I just said I made the right choice for myself to exit the hobby. When you use “yet” statements, make them make sense.
@@andrewlalisbut you don’t have to spend money on these thousand dollar RC planes, there are really cheap options that you can still have a lot of fun with. Spending more is literally an option that you can opt out of if you don’t want to.
My dad was an RCer I hate watching these but it does bring back fond memories of my dad. He loved to build, or should I say "rebuild" planes from the broken pieces of other guys crashes.
Didn't enjoy the many crashes as I experienced one myself at young age with my self designed and constructed glider (2.8 m wingspan) which basically ended my enthusiasm as a model builder and pilot. It was a shock to me that hours and hours of work got completely destroyed within seconds and most of all it was my mistake as a pilot. I can feel what it means to all of the pilots and constructors that take their hobby serious.
My goodness, just watching these crashes hurts! Does anybody know what happend to the first scale helicopter? It tilted so fast nose down. That's the most brutal: some of these crashes are happening so fast that it so difficult to save them. And even worst are technical failuress. I had my own crashes and know the awful feeling to return home with your loved model in several pieces!
@@Rogerw1nz Not to be an A**hole but you´re almost right: The plane in the video is a Super Guppy, used by Airbus to transport plane parts before they built the Beluga (based on an A300) and later the Beluga XL (based on an A330) Have a nice day :D
@@Rogerw1nz It's not a Beluga, it's a Super Guppy.... or rather it WAS a Super Guppy until the numpty flying it lost control of it and crashed it! ✈️🤣🤣
@4:35 - Sorry, but that type of "flying" does nothing for me. Looks like a potentially serious accident just waiting to happen. Real choppers don't fly like that and to me, the beauty of these scale flying models is to see them replicate real aircraft as much as possible. This is little more than mickey mouse flying tactics. 👎
Did the helicopter burn out because the pilot took forever to gain significant speed? I imagine it's at least partially cooled with airflow, using speed to ventilate

Mostly the same old story - oversensitive (twitchy) control inputs. Why not dial that back and fly straight and level at scale speeds?
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun. Ecclesiastes 2:11
Seems to me they picked a rookie pilot for the PC21. You can see a lot of insecurities and mistakes already during the flight, like aiming at the spectators, almost crossing into restricted areas and more.

lol you know it
Sounds like good clean manly fun
Yeah. Like any of these dorks are married. 😂
Like any of these dorks are married 😂😂😂😂
You make it sound like RC jet$$$$ and heli$$$ is a working stiff's hobby😂😂😂
looks to me like the most common cause for fixed wing crash is......turning too steep, too slow, resulting in the inside wing stalling.
Much like real life accidents.
@jackspeer2127-My thoughts exactly on the stalling.
And people thinking they can loop-loop in baluga planes 😂
@@Dumb_Furry_UwU Yes they build a freighter and expect it to fly like a stunt plane.
I blame the little pilots flying inside the planes. They should get more practice.
🙄🙄
And also the little engineers, like they should put more work into making sure the planes are safe
@@shanebromfield2527 😆🤣😆🤣
ikr
XD
This is exactly why I stick to RC Cars.
Oh, how I remember those days. Going to the flying field with your latest pride and joy. Coming home with TRASH.
Yes! Yes! Yes! (sadly something my GF never says). In hindsight, that was no way to RELAX
I didnt even come home with anything. My plane crashed deep in the woods.
The little model pilot still sitting in the cockpit, still ready for action, with his ruined machinery around him!
Those little stunt helicopters are like having a bee stuck in your car while driving 😂

Can’t wait to find out how all these happened on the next series of RC Air Crash Investigations
😂
Lmao
Those aerobatic helicopters are just uninteresting to me.
I fly r/c helicopters and think the 3D/acrobatic flying is just stupid.
Ok
Same - I prefer scale flying, but you have to hand it to the 3D boys, takes a lot of time and effort to get proficient at doing those stunts.
The first one was cool to watch for the first 20 seconds and then it started to get boring for me too
I didn’t know it was a thing until I saw this clip. It’s not my thing I guess but I could see how other people would be into it.
I’m happy to see that I made the right choice to leave this hobby behind back in the 80s.
Yet you sit here on your computer watching people enjoy themselves and the company of others.
@@ghsfdl4350 but the original commenter isn't out of thousands of dollars and hours of effort, so he's winning in that regard.

It's always good to see someone having a worse day than you. I thought having to buy a tire was bad. Glad I do not have these repair expenses
Wow, that's a HORRIBLE and really selfish thing to say. Real humanitarian you are! 😐
Wow, that's a HORRIBLE and rally selfish thing to say! Real humanitarian you are. 😐
I'm pretending all of this happened at the same show
Now this is my kind of RC video!
Crashes were far better back when we spent months building out of little pcs of balsa and covering in doped paper.
Super Guppy #3 crashed, was rebuilt, and then did the same thing!
I have a nice Drone and have never crashed it. 3 years and haven’t flown it yet.
That breaks my heart to see all the time and hard work put into this destroyed.

Looks like either a servo or linkage failure
@@BladeScraper Thank you very much! Yes, looks like one of these failures! Too bad!
Whenever I see these vids I think to myself, there are amazing builders, and there are competent pilots, but rarely both.
Ok, but that first clip made me genuinely sad. I absolutely adore the Super Guppy, and seeing a beautiful model of one crash is just 🥺
At 0:20 the Flying Guppy makes a perfect 1 point landing.
Für jeden Bruch ein herzliches: SCHADE!
I dont think that Beluga wants to fly if you ask me
Yeah looks super unstable from the get go. Maybe the design doesn’t scale down all to well.
Those helicopters always seem to be flirting with disaster. The snow was particularly impressive.
Hi
Can’t you make the undercarriages a bit stronger?
All very interesting dissemblies.. but sad I do have to point out I HATE SPASTIC HELO FLYING!!! Just saying.
Those poor Guppy pilots are just sh*t outta luck.
Underpowered and too slow. That big fuselage is draggy!
The best ones are when they last 3 seconds after take off. You know that they drove their excited to show off . 😊
My heart bleeds for these guys when the crash those models.. So much work! 😢
My hearts bleeds for certain things, but model airplanes?? No..
Maybe they should learn to fly before investing in aircraft that require real skills.
For a lot of us building is just as much fun as crashing. That's why we have combat flights
I find it hilarious.
All I hear when I see this is "I broke my toy 😢". 😂😂😂
Super vidéo 😔😭😭
When you try fly a plane with 'pufferfish' aerodynamics, expect the walk of SHAME ! Hilarious 😅
Twice
That first air bus has me rolling 🤣
My favourite quote is that "everything, which does not require glue qualifies as a successful landing."
Never seen an Airbus with anhedral wings, they should be dihedral (angled upwards)
My thought process was sorta like this: "Ooh A340...wait a second that looks wrong..."
Wunderschön
Schade, so viele Unfälle, jedes tut so weh.
Dennoch ... danke 👍💪✌
Is that a whale flying?😅😅😅😅😅
Yes it’s a Beluga - made by Airbus as a cargo plane.

That is so scary😭😭😭🗿
@@jetsetter797twice
What happened to the helicopter at 1:00 ?
it got scared
Did anyone else expect Hindenburg commentary after that first one? Oh the humanity
Are those Spirit planes?

It looked so dangerous standing near that chopper. They could lose control for 3 seconds then those rotor blades are in someone's neck.
These guys are much better builders than they are flyers... SLOW DOWN! None of the flying was to scale.
I am not an expert but i think flying in scale speed is really hard
Scale flying is effing boring!
Maybe the Super Guppy is not a plane meant for RC.
Love the cool bright yellow 3D heli so fun 😂
Pilots without experience flying expensive airplanes is not a good idea
There were no KEN DOLLS hurt in the making of this video
Perhaps these models should be equipped with parachutes/airbags to save them in an accident.
You have to try watching these compilations at 50% playback speed! The scale models look so much more real!
Those ‘stunt’ helicopters are just weird…
3:41 that really hurts 😬

Because it's fun to push the limits
Das wär nicht passiert wenn Rüdiger nicht so tief geflogen wäre!
Der Cargo skylink ist nach den Crash schöner geworden 😂😂😂😂
At least the pilot in the helicopter seemed unharmed.
I came for the mishaps and just ended up feeling really bad for these guys!

Alright get on the horn. We need the NTSB go team, FAA, Boeing and the FBI here stat
I crashed the gear off of many of my planes early in my flying career, but "knock on wood," I haven't crashed anything in the past 2 years!
Me neither! Of course I haven't been flying.
This is why I own RC Tanks .
That guppy looks a bit shorter 😂
A lot of ego's were hurt in the making of this video .
this is painful to watch, at least the pilots survived unharmed.
Damm , the guppie took a horrible dive .
I didn't realize that those little pillot were on kamikaze missions.
Kelsey from 74 Gear, may be of help on these mishaps.
Never appears to be a problem locating the Black Box

Bad day when you bring your toy home in a bag.
This is like watching hockey game.
There is such a thing as maximum bank angle. You'd think these guys would understand that.
It's that darn gravity!
The pufferfish crashed twice
I think your caps lock was stuck on when writing the video title
I mean honestly was anyone surprised when the first monstrosity crashed? Definitely doesn’t look like it should be flying
I thought that they stopped making lawn darts.
3:45, if Boeing made model aeroplanes 😂
Dang not the beluga
Set your playback speed to 2x and enjoy
I hope these people don't get hired to design airplanes
the first one would wreck me........
4:55 how is this even possible
Weather: RC flying and scattered pieces.

And this video is sponsored by Boeing
thats why i fly fpv :D
Could a got a boat instead😂 I bet your wife's are pissed. 😅
That guy has a few Pregnant Guppies or he is a real good modeler at repairing it.
8:02 ...mosquitos ?
Start big, fail big.
Should be called, Gone In 60 seconds.
Was war am Puma?
1:15 Poor pilot. Frozen with fear.
@ 1:15. But the pilot survived!
Note to self, order a bigger skip for next year's show.

6:23 reminds me of AA191
My first crash just happen to coincide with the first time I flew
Du geil😂
