They all have to land ... sometimes it goes wrong!!! ★Most went wrong due to the heavy head or x-wind conditions★ Music by: Basematic / Title: Zest Download: dig.ccmixter.or... Licence: BY
Heartbreaking and gut wrenching these 'MOMENTS' are for everyone. Pilots and spectators alike. Thanks for posting this. Helps me to realize it doesn't just happen to me.
Considering the difficult gusty wind conditions, most of these people did an admirable job of getting their planes on the ground with minimal or no damage. Great video, mate.
Thank you for your kind comment. Yes, wheel fastening sometimes is a problem :) The footages are shot at Bruchsal ►49.13386,8.566155◄, Oberhausen ►48.331050, 10.189275◄, Langenau ►48.541231,10.112427◄and Sarre-Union ►48.950165,7.076638◄ (coordinates for google maps) Best regards, RCSA
There was a very strong headwind and therefore the pilot decided to land without flaps. The runway goes uphill and it would actually have been enough to fly flat and press the plane through the elevator onto the runway when touching down. Maybe better luck next time.
Thanks Steve for your great comment. The landing procedure of every pilot is very individual. In critical situations, there are different ways to get the airplane home safely. Cheers, Horst
The landing of that ME-109 at 3:20 illustrates your point about landing warbirds on the paved runway very well. Those last second wing dips (crosswind?) can make for some nasty scrapes and broken landing gear very quickly. That warbird had some real difficulties with landings in real life due to their rather narrow mains. Although this vid does show some bad moments, it also reveals some lovely landings under less than ideal conditions. Thanks for this vid, RCSA.
Thank you very much for your great comment, Bill. All shots with the paved runway are from the same event in France. There was a really heavy headwind (from the right side of the screen). You hit the nail on the head. Not every day is a birthday. Sometimes you must accept losses. Best regards, RCSA
It was my pleasure, mate. I was really impressed with that ME-109 pilot .. landing a real one was very challenging due to its narrow landing gear. This model pilot did far better than I imagined he would, under the circumstances.
Thank you, Sam ! Don't worry, write *off will* not be used on any of my videos! There is no reason even not on this one. Life is not easy and ☠ moments can be happen everywhere ツ
You're right Jean. The only thing is, that all these shots were done during different air-shows. Every one tried his best in order to keep on running the show. Many of the pilots are on the road for hours to be part of the show. As you can see, no plane got badly damaged ツ So every single flight was done for the audience.
I flew models airplanes for twenty-five years. It was my experience that GENERALLY, those who can build well can't fly well and those who fly well, don't build well. The two should team up. Fly, fly, fly and then fly some more. Fly in all kinds of weather. Touch and go and touch and go until you are sick to death of touch and go. Then, when you can grease in a landing in any weather, every time, go build your beautiful baby and fly her.!
Thanks for your reply. I see, in AUS the rules are much harder then here. German rules: Up to a weight of less than 25 kg there is no technical inspection and the pilot don't have to make a "pilot's license". For models over 25 kg, it needs a technical acceptance and the pilot must pass a theoretical and practical examination. I've uploaded two videos of this procedure. Tiger Moth - 1:2 Scale - Maiden Bücker Jungmeister - 60% Scale - Moki 400ccm
Da muss ich Dir Recht geben. Ich bewundere und verneige mich immer wieder vor diesen Enthusiasten ... und bin froh, dass es sie gibt. Nicht auszudenken, wenn keiner den Mut und die Kraft hätte, solche schönen Modelle zu bauen und vor allem auch zu fliegen. Die Modellbauszene wäre längst zu einer Ausstellungsveranstaltung verkümmert. Dieses Video soll nicht das Unvermögen der Piloten darstellen, sondern die Tücken, mit denen sie zu Kämpfen haben. Holm & Rippenbruch, RCSA
Thank you very much for your great comment which I really appreciate. Not all viewers are the same meaning as you, but you're absolutely right!!! Best regards, RCSA
Thank you for your comments. The Me109 at 1:50 is a 1/3 scale ... the one at 3:08 is a 1/4 scale same as the one at 5:56 You're right most of this mishaps was at tricky wind conditions. Best regards, RCSA
Not sure if this is a sarcastic joke or a question. But if it is a question then it varies on plane type, size, and powerplant. Jets for instance whether they are edf or turbine need a bit of speed and to hit the mains first or they will bounce. So in the instance of jets, you land not really with elevator, ailerons or rudder, but with throttle. War birds need mild speed depending on the model type and a somewhat soft touch down. All depends on the model style though (delta wing, bomber, biplane, etc)
Awesome models! The conditions have been chalenging for landing indeed. The wind is not something to afraid of during the landing. The gusts are. Thanks for sharing!
Mittendrinn, satt nur dabei. Du sagst es. Warbirds brauchen ein gewisses Händchen. Dass nicht immer alles wie geschmiert läuft, liegt in der Natur des Menschen. Mögen im neuen Jahr, alle Piloten dieser Welt, ihr Modell für den nächsten Flug nur zum Nachtanken in den Hanger !!! Danke für's Lob, Franz
Hello Darryll, thanks for the New Year wishes that I would like to respond with pleasure !!! It's very easy to say "what the hell they are doing" ... If you're in the same situation, your heartbeat takes control over the sticks. ツ Sometimes remain only fragments of a second to decide what to do. Thank you for your kind comment. Sorry, but my english is not so perfect in order to express exactly what I want to say. Cheers, Horst
There’s a lot of people who need to invest in some beefier suspension parts for their RC planes. There’s a lot of good pilots in here that made some soft landings who’s wheels should never have come off.
4:37 was the best one and he didn't even have a gear deployed lol...I have never flown models, but I am an airman. I can't imagine how tough it would be to make those small but crucial adjustments from a perspective other than inside the cockpit. Some nice models here too. Happy flying, gents!
Thank you, Shawn for your great comment. I agree with your observation. Not to forget that most of these pilots fly the very first time on this airfield.
I love watching PIO landings. I have a great one of a full sized glider student of mine. He managed to punch the main gear wheel up into the fuselage requiring a full rebuild of the wheel well and fiberglass insert frame. He paid for the repairs but the glider and very nice Grob 103 was down for several days not making any money.
I'm only a hobby pilot without any skill ... my actual place is behind the camera. I just want to remember, that the "☠ Moments 2012" only shows some of the landings were not as good as the others. If you like to see some good landings, have a look to my other videos. Best regards, RCSA
The one with the gray coloured Corsair did an emergency landing in the grass because he noticed a problem with the gear and therefore he avoided the paved runway.
So, for those not familiar with the R/C hobby: there are builders, and there are flyers. The builders often wind up with big beautiful scratchbuilt planes that they cannot fly worth a darn. The flyers often wind up with off-the-shelf, ready-made ("ARF") planes that are not as beautiful, maybe, but which they can fly the crap out of - and would have no trouble landing in conditions like these. It's extremely rare to see one person that can both build and fly at a high level.
Thanks for your cool comment ツ I think these guys don't need a flight sim. It was just a little bit of too strong wind during that air shows. If you watch my other vids, you can see, that they know how to fly and to land. This ☠ Moments shows what can happen even to skilled pilots. Thanks again and happy bush flying 4 you! (you have some nice vids as well). Best regards, RCSA
Many thanks Steve. YOU hit the nail !!! Most of the viewers did not read the video description and begin to make fun of bad pilots. Presumably these guys can not even fold a paper airplane, but start talking stupid stuff.
Kdavis2806 As a pilot for 52 years and thousands of hours, the big common error I see is when in a heavy cross wind, once the wheels touch the tarmac, dump your flaps and get the weight of the aircraft. If the crosswind component is greater than the planes rudder can handle, don't fly.
Thx for that ツ This year you will see some XXL scale warbirds !!! you have to be a little patient. The season starts here until May. Still I have some interesting shots from last year to upload.
Great videos, but man those hurt to watch knowing what they have in those planes. I am glad to see nothing was destroyed in this video. All are repairable!
The Me109 was hard to land even at full size. The problem, as you've already mentioned, is the short track width of the landing gear. The reason of this concept was, that in WWII the planes was transported also on railways so they have to stand on their own "feet".
A little advice from a pilot, Cut power over the threshold . Don't carry power in the flare. If you bounce , don't try and save it just go around. I have made the same mistakes while learning on full scale. love the Me 109 though.
Thanks Bob. Flying a giant scale airplane does'nt mean that the pilot is a Pro. Of course they have some experience, but the nerves also plays a certain role. There is also another issue ... they are not on their home airfield and as you might noticed, at most of the clips were strong wind conditions. Nevertheless ... nobody is perfect.
Just Wonderful, all of it..... The success and the not so successful take-offs and landings can only make us better pilots.....apart from that...well....Its just so cool to watch...Ps I've been flying for over 40 years now.... So I know just a little bit ...lol Thank You Ever So Much for Sharing xxx
Im glad all planes had minor damage. I have found that in my case I land better without flaps, I come in faster but I can control the plane or jet much easier. Just have to keep it straight. Looking forward to more of your video work. Thee pilots did a great job of avoiding disaster and keeping thee high$$$$ birds together.
I agree. When you got a good head wind better to come in without flaps. Or what I do is when I flair and touch down I will turn off the flaps as soon as my wheels are rolling to prevent it from popping back up. And if I do pop up I am ready to gun it and go around. Staying committed to a bad landing causes more damage in my experience.
Danke für Deinen Kommentar Axel. Für mich ist es immer ein schrecklicher Anblick wenn soch edle Modelle einen Schaden erleiden. Zum Glück waren es letztes Jahr nicht allzu heftige Verluste, aber jeder einzelne ist einer zuviel ! Viele Grüße, Horst
You're right Philippe ... too many titles could be used for it. Many good and perfect landings are shown in my videos. Not every flight or landing are perfect. Sometimes strange things happen! We are all great pilots ... but not all the time ツ
_Thank you very much for your kind comments._ O.K. There was some pilot errors as well but, as you've already mentioned, the heavy wind is something what made it even more difficult. _Best regards, RCSA_
delorean117, number 1 rule when flying powered aircraft, ALWAYS land into the wind LOL You should never have to complain about having a tail wind, that's just dumb
Many thanks Gary for your comment. Not all comments are positive as yours. This video will not show the inability of the pilots, but it is not always easy to make a nice landing in difficult conditions. Best regards, RCSA
Thank you for your comment. In most of the shots, there was a very strong headwind. At strong x-winds it's extremely difficult with these large-scale models to approach sideways to the runway, because there is not too many space.
Yes I noticed the really strong head winds but being an actual pilot I'd like to point out that Headwind slows you down so if you carry some speed and then let the plane settle in ground effect you could transition the plane into the round out to flaring, then to touch down. The best thing to do is to keep a good approach slope in and counter act the headwind with some power and wind correction. Upwind aileron into the wind and opposite rudder
I'm no expert, but it looks like a bunch of teenagers broke into a radio controlled model airplane clubhouse, drank a few cases of beer, and then went to try them out.
MotenGaming, i can tell you're no expert either, it was mostly due to the fact that they dont get how to maneuver at high, or low speeds, lol. Wind should not be any sort of hindrance to any pilot, unless its a storm.
Many thanks for your kind comment. Some people here know nothing about flying of such large RC planes at windy conditions. This video shows how difficult it can be ... and ... none of the plane was heavily damaged or crashed :) Best regards, RCSA
You might be right by saying that some rich people just buy a large scale airplane and go to show off on air-shows. Personally I don't know all of the pilots shown in this video but I can tell you, that the one with the gray coloured Corsair who did an emergency landing in the grass had noticed a problem with the gear and therefore he avoided the paved runway.
This video could have been titled "A bunch of rough landings !" Even great pilots make mistakes... So, am I a great pilot ? Not sure... :) Thanks for this video.
Many Thanks ツ Wie man gut erkennen kann, waren die Schäden zum Glück nicht besonders groß. Bin mir sicher, dass alle die Woche darauf wieder im Einsatz waren. Viele Grüße aus dem LK Neu-Ulm
Why? ... It is only one plane with a problem on the landing gear (at 1:26) ... the FW190 made an emergency landing and there was no time and airspeed to put the gears down. You can find the complete video in my uploads.
The primary purpose of flap is to induce drag to slow the aircraft down, not to augment lift, as you would have noticed with a few the nose over upon landing is caused by an application of breaks.
This makes me think of my dear dad... He LOVED airplanes!. When I was a kid we had a Cessna in our garage. This was very fun to watch!! THANKS
Heartbreaking and gut wrenching these 'MOMENTS' are for everyone. Pilots and spectators alike. Thanks for posting this. Helps me to realize it doesn't just happen to me.

Best decision ever at 6.20. Holding my breath big time watching the last flight skipping down the runway. Poor Avanti

The concept of the stabilized approach eludes most RC'ers
What speed should a plane land at? Could it possibly be as slow as possible (at the point of stall)? Is the rudder ever useful in landing?
Seems that someone don't care about 👍😂

winter to build ... summer to fly !!!
You've got the point. Thanks for your kind comment !!!
Thank you for your great comment.
btw. The FW-190 at 04:37 was forced to an emergency landing after an engine failure. ( watch?v=04jlzz3dnHI )
Thank you Bengt. Well, I think any of us had even ☠ moments when flying RC airplane. No matter which kind or size of the model.
Thank's david for your great comment. Much appreciated !
Thank you Thomas for your kind comment.
A little advice from a pilot,
Cut power over the threshold .
Don't carry power in the flare.
If you bounce , don't try and save it just go around.
I have made the same mistakes while learning on full scale.
love the Me 109 though.
Thanks Bob. Flying a giant scale airplane does'nt mean that the pilot is a Pro. Of course they have some experience, but the nerves also plays a certain role. There is also another issue ... they are not on their home airfield and as you might noticed, at most of the clips were strong wind conditions.
Nevertheless ... nobody is perfect.

6:08 the only person that knows how to land a large scale plane in wind...
Thanks Tim ... Fortunately there was no major damage to the airplanes.
Most realistic at 4:30. Loved the look of it coming in.
The Me-109 is always tricky to land ... even without x-winds ツ
this is all good pilot skill....landing a model in these winds is VERY DIFFICULT...well done to all!!!!
_Thank you very much for your kind comments._
O.K. There was some pilot errors as well but, as you've already mentioned, the heavy wind is something what made it even more difficult.
_Best regards, RCSA_
ha ha ha good one that is bull
Yes a heavy tail wind by the look of things in some of those arrivals.
delorean117, number 1 rule when flying powered aircraft, ALWAYS land into the wind LOL You should never have to complain about having a tail wind, that's just dumb
Many thanks Gary for your comment.

This is so cool! The Ju 87 and the Me 109's remind me of war thunder :)
Thanks for your nice comment, which I greatly appreciate.
Thanks for the great comment. Yes, the damage was minimal.

So, am I a great pilot ? Not sure... :)
Thanks for this video.
Many Thanks ツ
Wie man gut erkennen kann, waren die Schäden zum Glück nicht besonders groß. Bin mir sicher, dass alle die Woche darauf wieder im Einsatz waren.
Viele Grüße aus dem LK Neu-Ulm
Why? ... It is only one plane with a problem on the landing gear (at 1:26) ... the FW190 made an emergency landing and there was no time and airspeed to put the gears down. You can find the complete video in my uploads.
Great vid & excellent camera work, very entertaining
The primary purpose of flap is to induce drag to slow the aircraft down, not to augment lift, as you would have noticed with a few the nose over upon landing is caused by an application of breaks.
Congrats but that was funny as hell when his plane just lost the landing gear x)
