Beugin Airshow 2018 crash du D.H.2

aéromodélisme

[heeder]

Beautiful frame work with the sun showing through the wings. Nice model, great representation of the full scale aircraft, including its flight characteristics. Those were some brave young men in the early days of flight and more so flying into battle.

Am I the only one who thought this was a 'real' British WWI airplane? I'm glad only someone's wallet was hurt and not an actual human.

[adamtaylor]

Even an expensive RC crash sounds alright when narrated in very nice, smooth French.

[JSFGuy]

Needs to have RC in the title. Misleading.

[fbloggs]

Watch the rudder. He had full left rudder to try to tighten the turn while in a left bank and only just above the stall.
That's called bottom rudder and it has killed an enormous number of pilots during the last two slow turns to a landing, including many, many flight instructors with thousands of hours of flying time.

[jackoneil]

Well, that turned out to be exactly what looked like, a crash waiting to happen. It was, however, a stunning demonstration of early aircraft design combined with a fatal misapplication of aircraft controls. But to be fair to the aircraft design, there are few modern aircraft that could have survived such an outstanding example of "Pilot Error"

[jopitomnik]

Superbe machine, vraiment dommage. Merci en tous cas pour les deux minutes d'évasion.

[CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

What a huge shame, I didn't realise the scale until the recovery crew went in, I had a similar crash with my Dr1 but it survived to fly another day, on the other hand my DH2 wouldn't be so lucky, beautiful models to see in the air that recreate an era of brave young men and the stupidity of war, cheers

[rescue]

The original DH-2 was called "the spinning incinterator" by it's pilots because it would spin very easily and spin recovery was impossible for most. It was also prone to in-flight fires.

[SuperDavec]

Left rudder applied too aggressively stalled the left wing because of the low airspeed. You can see the aeroplane yaw left before the wing drop.

Stalled in. Looked unstable from the T.O., almost as if the CG was too far back. Always close to stalling...

[TheTeufelhunden]

What a shame, such a beautiful model. On the upside, based on photos I have seen of WWI crashes, it's sad demise looked very authentic. I am sorry for your loss..

LEFT Rudder and RIGHT Aileron at slow airspeeds? That's asking for trouble. The Rudder is way more effective at slow airspeeds than the Ailerons. The aileron input to the right made the left wing stall. Classic Stall Spin. Needs to learn about proper control inputs.

[RockinRedRover]

Amazed anyone with a grasp of WW1 history, or aircraft, thought this was real. Esp as clearly says "aéromodélisme" just below the heading. Personally I commend the builder on taking on such a risky project, the real ones were tricky enough to fly, and contrary to the armchair experts or those "pilots" that can "fly" via video games, flying r-c aircraft in the flesh is rarely easy, certainly not scale models like these, in some ways it's harder than being up there yourself. Great vid, sad ending, thanks.

[MGBRed]

Cross control at 1:50 Left rudder and right aileron confused the aircraft so it fell out of the sky. Very realistic crash. When the nose is high in a turn bad things can happen because it's basically a slip and lots of drag builds up. WWI aircraft just prefer rudder for flight and the ailerons are just for trimming. Generally the speed is so slow that ailerons are not very effective. Can you imagine how a new pilot felt with just 10 or 15 hours flight time in such a contraption? He'd never even seen an airplane before and now he was getting shot at in something that he couldn't even control. A sitting duck.

[colinhutchinson]

I thought it's angle of climb from take off was too steep to be an actual full scale aircraft but otherwise it would have fooled me.

[SupesMe]

It actually took me a minute to figure out it was a RC but since it crashed I’m glad it was . Thing is HUGE

[paulgoodwin]

Did the dwarf get injured in the crash. It's nice to see little people can have planes now. It did look a little windy for that plane.

[Biggles-gmtm]

Looked tail heavy to me, also horrendously under powered.
