    • @ifrit35
      @ifrit35 6 лет назад +2

      Well, it doesn't happen very often because most of these big rc airplanes don't fly at all. Obviously because their owner are afraid that something similar will happen to them. I may change my mind over time but I personally don't like really complicated builds like this particular example.

      Nope! In Germany your plane has to pass a technical inspection of the german aviation authority if its mass is more than 25kg. Also the model plane airfield must have a special licence for heavy planes like these. There are not so many places, where you are allowed to fly these huge planes. And the laws are becoming more and more strict because of all the childish drone "pilots" who cause many accidents, when they buy a cheap crappy drone and fly without any skills or knowledge and no insurance. Model plane hobbyists, who have a very clean savety record, suffer from the drone development these days.

      It's a shame you feel this way, all I am seeing is a nicely built model, great flight, perfect approach and just a touch too much elevator as he tries to settle it down and unfortunately the engine cuts and yaws the plane badly from the resulting engine's power on a throttle out. There's really no need to be so critical of the effort here, it takes a lot of effort to get a plane like that made and into the air and I certainly appreciate watching them, when it all goes well.

    • @petrsedlak4761
      @petrsedlak4761 Год назад +2

      The problem was not the engines. Problem was abrupt pull on the elevator when it was completely unnecesary. Then he realised, that plane lost most of its speed and tried to use full throttle which stopped two of three engines because fuel was not willing to go uphill so easily. Lack of experince. Plane was overcontrolled.

  • @StevenDonaldonYouTube
    @StevenDonaldonYouTube 7 лет назад +610

    Here's what happened. Pilot didn't like the landing, came down a little too fast, so he decided to abort. He went full throttle to abort, but the middle and right engines stalled. the left engine ramped up and pulled the aircraft hard right, he was in a pickle then. He should have powered down and tried rudder left to correct and ended with a hard landing. Instead, he kept full throttle hoping to get enough airspeed to recover, he probably didn't notice only one engine was going until it was too late, he was doomed. MAYBE he could have gotten more airspeed at half throttle and been able to counter the off center thrust with rudder, but full throttle was just too much.

    • @yetanotherjohn

      I could, but who knows the ending I would have. I wasn't there so I can't say. I've had a twin engine die during a pass and had to fly her around again with only one engine and that was a maiden flight. Major pucker factor, but after base to final approach, I cut throttle and glided in until I realized I didn't have the speed to clear the bushes at the end of the runway. I wasn't about to apply throttle again educing a horrible yaw so I decided to make it a harsh landing instead. Only skipped a tooth on the starboard landing gear so no harm at all there, but broke a 3 bladed prop. No other harm was done, but I knew the engine was out ahead of time. I don't know what I would have done in this case. Maybe the same??? But I would like to think that I would have noticed sooner and powered off for a hard landing. But who knows? I may have done the same exact thing.???? I fly 3D heli's also so planes are relaxing to me no matter the plane for the most part. I have had to have extremely fast reflexes, but that mostly applies to heli's. May cross over to planes as well, but I'm humble enough to say that I might have ended up just like he did.

      Jim sworthow Approach looked OK but for some reason, the pilot wanted to abort the landing and do a go around. Why? Applied power too quickly and two engines quit (flooded with fuel?). Unfortunately, the left outboard motor revved up causing asymmetrical thrust. From then on, the plane was doomed. Asymmetric power, too low. The non-powered side stalled, resulting in almost immediate crash. Probably can be repaired. More powerful motors would help. Or, was it underpowered on purpose to add realism?

A lot of them would say what’s the difference between the pilot that flies the big fancy RC airplane and the pilot that flies the small cheap RC airplane, the pilot of the cheap RC airplane does not cry when his plane crashes. It’s great seeing these RC planes fly, thanks everyone for uploading the videos.

    It's called VMC (look it up) BTW, I have some cockpit time in a real Ju52, They were restoring one for the Commemorative Air Force and needed to move it from Fort Collins, Colorado to Midland, Texas to be painted. Four of us agreed to buy the fuel for the flight in trade for getting to fly it on the trip. I was the last one flying and the regular pilot let me land it, just like a great big Piper Cub.

    Engines make some nice noises and generate lightweight power but multi engine projects are a lot safer with electric motors.
    This beautiful model was flying way over scale speed and was a bit on the heavy side. The JU-52 wing has a lot of taper so a tip stall was expected when yanked up at low power. Electric power wouldn't have fixed this problem. When things get crazy low to the ground, close the throttles and try to level out. This could have easily snapped the other direction after recovering from the first snap. The floating ailerons are a bit of an unknown in slipping stalls. Powering out of trouble ups the risk factor dramatically.

  • @bucc5062
    @bucc5062 5 лет назад +40

    First, even though this is an old YT post, I feel bad for the pilot and creator of such a fine model RC plane. The detail was fantastic and in flight one would have a hard time differing it from a real plane against the clouds.
    The crash was tragic and while folks have argued back and forth about how it could have been save if he had done this or done that, as a pilot he was there, in the moment and having to make instantaneous flight corrections and do so from at hird person, not first person viewpoint.
    here is what I observed and I'll start by saying this should be a training film on VMC, stalls, and decision making, especially since no humans were hurt in the process (just a few egos). While the landing started on a good profile, it looks like the plane hit some ground effect for it flatted and slightly climbed for a moment. It looks like the pilot inputted down elevators, but now past the effect, that had the plane descending at an angle that may have caused a nose wheel hit so the pilot correct strongly with up elevator, but added right rudder, pulling it towards the crowd. At the moment he still had three engines, but for what ever reason, as the plane started the climb and turn it lost the right engine first, the middle next in the climb. That tells me he may have been so low on fuel that the two stopped running.
    By this point the die was cast, because one engine was not going to save this plane and had he leveled out and dropped the nose he was point right at the cars. Instead he tried to pull the nose up which caused the plane to stall and when it did, it stalled right into the dead engine on the right. One lesson learned, you can't do a missed approach in a Junkers 52 with two engines, one outboard dead.
    Accidents happened from a series of small events leading to the big event. If fuel killed the two engines, then if he had even 10 more seconds he may have been able to save it. If the plane had not veered to the right he might have saved it by being able to go straight ahead. Had he forced the landing it is possible the plane would have pitch poled and still broken up, but once he lost two engines the end was out of his control.
    I do hope he can repair the damage and once again have her flying. It is better to learn these lessons in a way that does test death directly. My hats off to his abilities to build and fly a plane, despite the outcome. What I would love is if the builders of these giant models put cams in the plane to spice up the video, 5 minutes of exterior view, plane flying does get a little old.

    • @walter2990
      @walter2990 5 лет назад +2

      I believe that the guy controlling the aircraft may have realized that the landing was out of control, and then chose to kill the engines, so that he could reduce the possibility of prop induced injuries. He was only able to kill the right, then the center engine before it crashed.
      So glad that nobody was injured!
      Kudos to the pilot.

    • @bucc5062
      @bucc5062 5 лет назад +2

      @@walter2990 Okay...possible, but step through the sequence. You will see the right engine stop. that slews the aircraft more to the right even as the center prop still rotates. two or three secs later the center prop does stop and the left is still in full throttle. At this point he had the worst combination...dead engine on the outboard right wing, full power on the left outboard and no power from the center. The right turn shifted the gas away from the right engine causing it to fail. The middle failed next for a similar reason and the left continued, because fuel was still pushed into the intake. I'm not blaming the pilot per se, this is RC flying and bad things happen, but both RC and real pilots can learn from moments like this...don't fly to almost empty tanks, don't bank towards populations and when in VMC, don't stall the plane.

Why do you feel the need to defend him anyway? "clearly has some advanced pilot skills" really? You watched him make a few circuits and horribly botch a landing and you're just jumping to the conclusion that he's excellent at the sticks? There are builders out there who can build amazing stuff but can't fly for crap (seen it) and guys with gigantic pocketbooks and who put $10,000 turbine jets into the ground because they're not ready for it. It's a shame he lost the big model but it's part of the hobby, if you build or buy something you aren't ready for you'll crash it, so take it slow.

Every field where there is the potential for danger or damage, there are signs stating that attending, parking, etc is solely at the owner's risk. The car driver knew or should have known that. The pilot was left with a malfunctioning aircraft at the critical moment and naturally would have been confronted with dozens of alternatives on how to rescue the situation with very little time, power or altitude to recover. I truly sympathise with the pilot. He built a remarkable aircraft, flew it expertly but was eventually confronted by too many problems with too little time to process what his actions should have been. I expect his next move would have been to build another aircraft given he got some of the most valuable learning opportunities. Good luck in the future sir!

      @@byteme11 Great reply, constructed with truth and facts, delivered with a good heart👏! And the truth is that this unfortunate pilot is clearly skilled but was dealt a crappy situation at a crappy time, and had to make an immediate decision, for better or worse. I also hope he managed to fix his beautiful Junkers and fly it again, he deserves that after the work he put into it.

    That was a fine plane and you did a beautiful job flying her. I was wondering why the loss of control ? Where did the extra lift come from ?

    such a gorgeous bird, true labor of love, thank you for sharing the video and hope your ego has healed!:) Curious, for those there was a crosswind involved? Or did pilot feel they made a pitch error on landing. TRUE modelling, that flight was just gorgeous, admire and compliment you all on the artistry.

      Lost centre and starboard engines to fuel starvation just before touchdown. One too many beauty passes.
