BEST COMPILATION of BAD (and CRASH) RC LANDINGS #2

BEST COMPILATION of BAD (and CRASH) RC LANDINGS #2
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.

A few of these were heartbreaking. Kudos on all those beautiful builds, and I am sorry for your individual losses. Thanks for sharing.

Hats off for not including painfully jittery slow motion replays of every crash or hard landing.

With the first one, he actually did very well to belly land without damaging his aircraft. It could have been a lot worse. The wing mounts coming off are easy fixes.

Its like watching a horrify accident minus all the death. I approve of this hobby.

I can only imagine the loss of the big camo color jet that had to be an expensive accident. So sorry for your loss some great flying and beautiful planes. Great video thank you for sharing.🤩❤️🙏🏼

The first one is neither a crash or bad landing. It is a well controlled wheels-up landing with minimum damage

It's been 40 years since I flew r/c planes but I still have an occasional dream where I'm flying one again and concentrating like crazy not to crash; i suppose the fierce concentration in my flying days imprinted itself forever on my subconscious..:)

That F100 Super Sabre looks stunning and what a sad and destructive end.

1:59 Holy cow! That thing has one heck of a power to weight ratio! I wouldn't think there are any full size prop planes that can do this, are there?

[jasonsitz]

Another new survivor watching you guys everyday you are so funny I really like the parachute glider

[stephenphillips]

This is horrific!
How does everyone remain so cheerful?

Landing those little wheel aircraft on stubby rough grass…. Genius.

[johnoneill]

Excellent flying by modest engineers! creating a fantastic flying show, 👍👍👍

[danielwalker]

The funniest thing I've seen for months at 3:20 .... I literally laughed out loud .... Fantastic and thank you for making my day.

[gryfandjane]

Happens to the best of us, alas. Sure did hurt to see that F-100 go in, though. It was a really fine-looking model.

[brianartillery]

That magnificent Super Sabre - what a sad end.

[sanchoodell]

9:01 Very painful watching this clip. The plane seems to just go into a stall as at one point it banks too quickly . As the jet loses control and plunges to Earth. startlingly the pilot fails to initiate the ejection sequence and dies. Whether there was a failure with the ejection system or the pilot tried to save the aircraft. we will probably never know

[tahustvedt]

That Spitfire should have done a go-around when the first buck happened. :)

[backtosleep]

1.59 is something you should never do for a takeoff. An old timer told be that you should gradually takeoff and never do abrupt climb. Reason is that if something goes wrong you can at worst guide it in for more gentle landing or crash. If your engine cuts out or if you stall with a abrupt climb you will come down very hard and do a lot of damage.

I keep thinking a golf coarse greens keeper would be useful in creating a smoother airfield.
