That is way too cool! I did the full screen on a 19" monitor, and you could mistake it for real.

I want to see it, but the stupid firewall here won't let me.

I guess I can wait till I get home.

That B52 had almost $20k in just the engines! I bet he cried when it crash. I would have.

I haven't fround the vids with the jets yet, but I did find one of this wicked RC helicopter. It's about 5 minutes long, the guy does some amazing things with it.

Check it out here

Ok, I'm certainly not an expert on these things, but how did he get that helicopter to fly inverted? Something just don't seem right about that

Just remember the controls are reversed when inverted.
Up joystick = down....etc.
And with no human pilot on board, many things are possible

I'm with you BB6Wheeler, If the blades turn so that it lifts it staight up, wouldn't inverting it pull the RC towards the ground??

On a Helicopter like that one the Raptor 90 it is capable of what is called 3d flying a flip of a toggle switch on the transmitter and it will reverse blade angles on main rotor so it can fly inverted 3D helis are very hard to fly that just lets you know how much that guys hands are moving and how much concentration he has. That transmitter has probably 9-11 channels and only 4 of them are on the sticks the rest are toggle switches

Check out this crash. Kind of a eerie similarity..

here is the bad part. Sad day in the UK.

go to videos select b-52 crash. hang on. There was a huge thread about this one. There were lots of tech reasons as to the "what happened." It was probably a stack up of things but the guy flying it posted that he just "lost it" as we say. It wasn't a good day to fly gray airplanes for sure. Planes with swept wings do some strange things that on the full size plane the computer fixes but is lacking in models. For the most part the peanut gallery hasn't a clue what technology went into this model...it was no back yard creation. these guys know what is going on. But physics sometimes rules no matter how you try to change it.

flames??? not a good video. watch close and see the aileron come off. flutter. A real smoking hole. About a $10k crash for you non RC'RS. The rule is to be a jet guy you need 3 of these jets flyable, 40 foot 5th wheel, DCTD truck, master craftsman, willing to roll $10k on the table for fun. The most tech advance part of the RC hobby.

Been do'n models for 50+ years but not jets....yet. I only do warbirds. only need 2 $5k planes, DCTD, avg craftsman, hopefully can salvage something from a crash. (not all burnt up)

IIRC that one was caused by a pilot "Showboating" for his wife who was on the ground watching.

Having been in the Air Force and I was a B-52 jet engine mechanic.....That was amazing to see....I did notice that when it landed one wing wheel didn't come down....Wonder if its got tail guns like the real B-52 ??

Hoss

I bet the guy that crashed it model B-52 had a really sick feeling in his stomach when he saw the smoke going up.

Wings...was that last jet crash because it collided with another plane? It was hard to tell.

I'd like to learn more about that REAL B-52 crash if anyone knows anything about it.
