BEST COMPILATION of BAD (and CRASH) RC LANDINGS #1

BEST COMPILATION of BAD (and CRASH) RC LANDINGS #1
If you fly RC a lot it's inevitable. Even the best pilots have a bad day once in a while. Could be your engine cuts mid-flight, or your retractable landing gear won't deploy or a gust of wind catches you out. These are skilled pilots. They just had a bad day at the office.

Filmed at various RC shows around the UK by Dom Mitchell using the Panasonic AG-UX180 Pro 4K camcorder.

That lightning is absolutely fantastic, the engine noise and retracting landing gear are on another tier.

2:50: Actual runway: Exists
Jet pilot: grass looks nicer.
Grass: bye landing gear!!

3:54 you’ll leave your aircraft in 3 seconds

This is how every war thunder talks off and landing happens

"Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing..." Any landing you have to walk to and pick up the pieces, not so good.

Every time I get the bug to spend the time and money to fly RC, I watch a video like this and just like that, I’m cured!

[astral]

I'm amazed that none of the fast jet pilots didn't initiate the ejection sequence. Model pilots must be made of stern stuff.

Its amazing how the jets have actual jet engines

[MacKaris]

I can't believe how shockingly bad some of these landing attempts are... I mean accidents do happen and sometimes there is a technical malfunction etc, but you'd think that an RC pilot who's spent like 5000 quid on a superscale petrol engine warbird knows better than to just slam it on the deck like a complete moron or stall it 15 ft above the runway.

Big round of applause everybody


Two people and a crow watching from a near by tree clap.

[PhsykoOmen]

Yes, lets land going full speed. What could go wrong

[CharlieDeltaEchoVict]

Thanks for the great video. Lovely planes in action. Shame about the crashes and damage but that is all part of RC and well done to the guys for doing it. The people making negative comments have no idea how much stress many of the pilots are under: unfamiliar location, spectators watching, high winds, noise and other planes and pilots all around, fixed time slots that have to be adhered to. It really is a lot harder than it seems.

Spitfires and Corsairs are my favorite planes it’s so unsatisfying when they crash because they are so beautiful

[tysoncott]

Having flown r/c i’ve had my share of bad landings so i cant say to much is some of the shittiest final approach’s i’ve ever seen!!!

Wheel Cover: I must go, my people need me!

[greglechowski]

That tri-plane was fantastic! They are all tremendous machines.

[Wizardlybat]

R/C planes: exist*
The grass: "All your wheels are belong to me"

[diggydice]

Some beautiful planes but it hurts even when the ugly ones crash.... lol, I feel for
all the hours they spent putting it all together & how just a few seconds is the end.
Such is peace

[trevor]

8:00 the spotter did a great job of absolutely NOT warning the guys that they were possibly about to get nailed!
Was he even awake because he didn't flinch at all.

[somedumbmanontheinternet]

It must suck to build these over a span of a few weeks just to see them crash.☹️ Beautiful planes. Plus I loved the Corsair. Nice plane.

[jazzukes]

I hate watching these great models being wrecked. But I watch them every makes me feel like I am a normal RC pilot. Thanks for sharing!
