[senk8drol]

Here in holland they pay for that crows with white and black €500,- but with papers/ ringed thats about 633,75 dollars.

[Booozsht]

Haha. . . good footage. . he was wing walking for a sec there. thought it was a predator after her young no doubt.

[vermar32]

MUY BUEN VIDEO, PODREMOS VOLAR MAS LEJOS, MAS ALTO Y MAS RAPIDO PERO NUNCA COMO LAS AVES.....

[tanoo101]

[4ucarlosmurphy]

What's the title of the other version of this?

The one with the song "Johnny Be Good".

[hershey4234]

magpie?

[Sssmoothy]

lol that's not a raven it's a "hooded crow"

[vizzuleyes]

@Sssmoothy Good catch Sssmoothy, I knew it wasn't a raven but couldn't figure out excatley what it was. I had 4 quesses and the hooded crow was my first choice because of the dark sun burst pattern on its breats.

Also if that were a Peregrine Falcon the glider would not have stood a chance razor talons and they have been clocked, yes clock in an attack dive at 200mph,

[Khazar01]

A real dogfight in the air :) But it looks like that bird is an Ace of the sky :)

[pozacathotmaildotcom]

That bird wants a piece of tail bad!

[rumplin]

didn't know birds protect their eyes in flight, now i know

[DavePatana]

Incredible footage. That's some funny shithead beach bully bird or birds.

[asommer518]

Dang you guys don't ever pick up your trash. That hilside looks like shit!

[Heya4000]

wow so windy....

[TheSimbuilder]

Did the raven cause the plane to crash? Must be the worlds first dogfight between nature and man :)

[thefinalfrontier1701]

@TheSimbuilder Let's strap an AK-47 to that thing. MUHAHAHAHA!

[Jwbagz21]

do a barrel roll!

[rideordie650r]

holy shit...pause at 2:28

[plaukaspyragely]

Now that's a bird strike!

[viscon2011]

my GAWD how terrifying it must be to be a weak bird being chased after a predatory bird!

[morales62126]

incredible !

[morales62126]

plane 0 bird 1 XD

[MrCEO69]

Totally awesome dude!

[salkeld17]

This is so funny to watch. That bird is pissssed! LOL

[killer231233]

why dont birds worry about other things craping in there face when they do that lol

[Swissman81]

u should rename the title to somethin like "dogfight with bird" or so :D

[TheSquidgyBlack]

I keep coming back to this video for another look - awesome footage mate. Would you mind telling us a little about what video camera you used, any damage to the plane from the lawn dart landing (it looks like the crow got the better of the plane in the end, or was it a "controlled ditch"?

I have a DLG myself, and my next build may well be a speedo, for those days where it's too windy to fly a 140g plane :D

[andrewid1976]

@TheSquidgyBlack Hi) Thanx for nice fresh look )

camera - just "car keychain spy video cam" 12bugz cost, you can find it on eBay

im flying DLG too with this cam - small and lightweight.

Damages? only few scratches - thats all)

[ChiefoEngineer]

1:07 xD check six check six!!!!

[c00lkarten1]

The bird tryed to hijack the plane.

[rosemarymclaughlin]

That's a Magpie. :D)

[zhmakin]

That's amazing!

[MikeDMinor]

How many planes do you know of that can fly and maneuver like this, with absolutely NO Elevator or Rudder movement at all? Unless there are Canard and a lower rudder that we can not see, I know of no planes that can fly that way... In the beginning of the video you see the elevator being tested when the plane is obviously in someones hand and not flying. But you see nothing throughout the entire "flight." So No I am NOT kidding. 

[TheSquidgyBlack]

@MikeDMinor

Firstly, the Speedo has no rudder. Secondly, when he tested at the start, that's the full throw of the elevator. You'll rarely, if ever need to use that much elevator when actually flying. If you look closely, the elevator is used quite a bit, but only in small increments.

Another point - this is a small, highly maneuverable slope soaring model - designed to fly in high winds, which is part of the reason that it looks a little strange sometimes when its sliding about in the wind.

[andrewid1976]

@TheSquidgyBlack exactly! thanx for true coments

[sjrand96]

@MikeDMinor look at 3:32 and watch the elevator

[alexalvarezperu]

@sjrand96

Is broken?...

correct me ?

[andrewid1976]

@alexalvarezperu no - no broken parts, im continue to flying after..

[rthao008]

kill that bird

[Lasterzin]

angry birds



[Luvtoflyhelis]

That is some awesome footage man, great video

[Thesicksix]

DO A BARREL ROLL!!!

[SoggySoxSaga]

Thank god birds aren't the size of a F-16!

[philip24997]

my brother chases vultures with his plane and he goingto attach a rocket igniter ang shoot the birds wile flying

[JakoRaptor]

It's a Hooded Crow to be exact. I bet he/she felt the plane as a threat to their territory.

[TheHiddenPart]

Holy shit.

[rajhara]

isnt that a crow? and not a raven?

[theillusionist6677]

@rajhara African pied crow lol

[Eugensdiet]

[quidditch15]

[ToomuchBTUstoday]

Nice lift you have to keep going like that any problems keeping a viable altitude.I live near the Great Lakes.Did the bird attack right were the hinges were it seems to know what it's doing when it grabs the end of your elevators and rudder.Thanks for posting a howl :D

[ToomuchBTUstoday]

@ToomuchBTUstoday Forgot to ask did you have instant feedback did you see live?

[Rapeman1973]

goood, very goood video :)

HOUSTON: can you people just call to say hi or SOMETHING!!

[Zircee]

the bird is a good bit faster then this plane. hmm wouldnt a vertical clime get the plane away from the bird? given the plane has the power to go vertical. lmao in my head im trying to figure out how to defeat the bird with this set-up

[Rogue1031]

Just hysterical, had me lmao! Any damage to the plane by they bird? Where was this?

[TheIndoorFllyer1]

That doesn't look like a raven.

[KentuckyFriedHuman]

[ThudFalls]

[vada06]

It;s not a Raven, it's Magpie!

[hundul]

[JacksInn]

[Daniel325new]

[Anju616]

You got bogey on your tail ! Do a barrel roll !

[wordreet]

Woah! Man I did not realize you were flying a glider! Great skills! Just not quite as good as the bird. ;-)

[VanBullock]

Bird: 1

Speedo: 0

8-)

[seatonuba]

fuck xD

[sebo24197]

our croatian television rtl is talking about your vid i wanted to see it

[andrewid1976]

@sebo24197 really? do you have a link or smth?

[sebo24197]

@andrewid1976 they don't have it more on the page

[MikeDMinor]

I'm calling BS on this one!  Was this Green or Blue screen?

[andrewid1976]

@MikeDMinor sorry - what do you mean?

[wordreet]

@andrewid1976 LOL! He thinks you faked it. X¬D

[andrewid1976]

@wordreet envy - a bad fault)

[diehardps2]

@MikeDMinor please tell me your kidding

[4eyes4]

The Black Baron

[dashortyguy48]

4:14 thats the creepiest eye i've ever seen

[AubriGryphon]

@dashortyguy48 That's the bird's nictitating membrane.  It's a semi-transparent inner eyelid they use sorta like flying goggles to protect their eyes from flying debris or whatever they happen to be attacking.

[Arkturium]

@dashortyguy48 That is the hooded crow's nictitating (third) eyelid that protects its eye, it closed it when it was attacking the plane in the same way that it would close it if it were fighting another bird, so that the eye would not get damaged.

[9esferas1]

808 model 3 vs. Bird, lol!

[wordreet]

This is a top ten YT video for me man. Superb. The little guy was not going to give up was he?!

These birds are very intelligent, and you can tell he's sizing up his enemy. It's bigger than him too. And then he seems to get in a perfectly judged bite for just long enough, and boom! X¬D

I love watching birds fly and am always fascinated by their skills. They'll always be better than us humes. ;-) Was the plane ok?

[RKGxxy]

wtf... Why did you crash land it in the end???

[omniquiddity]

Hang on, Snoopy; Snoopy...Hang On!

[omniquiddity]

@omniquiddity

Oh...and before the 'correctors' start up...

Yes, I know it's actually 'sloopy hang on', but I thought of Snoopy & the Red Baron as soon as seeing this vid.

[RyogaVee]

Do a barrel roll!

[skylinefolife]

Lol!

*We've got a man down!*

Mother Nature, you scaaawwwyyyy!

[poerik]

i like the bird the real one i mean lol he is eating your plane awesome and he lands on your plane too in mid air

10 point for the bird i love nature

grtzzzz

[Ozimul]

I love this crow's persistence.

[antonc81]

need to attach some pepper spray to that plane

[pwnageprata]

THE EAGLES! THE EAGLES ARE COMING!

[Bushmills21]

Need a rear gunner.

[slipknot09atforum]

@Bushmills21 thats what i was thinking xD

[hamnio]

We're gonna need a bigger plane.

[ozonatedman]

@hamnio

lol

[wordreet]

@hamnio Hahaha! The Jaws connection! X¬D

[cspeeder]

I wish this Raven was around during 9/11

[The3Dmasta]

i really think this guy is just having fun & want 2 improve his flying skills - these birds are so smart u wont belive it... very nice footage 5*

[hapaflower]

the date sez 02/07/2008, is that february or july?

[andrewid1976]

@hapaflower sorry - the date is mistake, it was 09.04.2010

[hapaflower]

@andrewid1976 ah ok. so, the hooded crow nests from late february, in israel. the young would maybe still be in the nest in early april.

[adamjh2000]

@andrewid1976

Yes, but is that dd/mm/yyyy [almost all of the world] or mm/dd/yyyy [usa only]?

[hapaflower]

@adamjh2000 think about it

[fescolfaro]

super nice... guess you got a kick out of the chase heh? was flying with the crows worth the damage bill?

cheers!

[nishbrown]

Persistent little bugger!!

Excellent footage!!

Saved to my "Flying" playlist!

[stax32]

Супер!!!!

[scowell]

This is a great video... monsters, plane crashes... and the seashore. TFP, Andrew! Good job. It looks like a magpie... certainly a big Corvid, they are very smart birds!

Does the bird often come to the RC site? Looks like a really nice place for soaring.



[drsquirrel0]

Needs some top gun backing music... ;)

[andrewid1976]

ну просто атас!

[Dolosev]

@andrewid1976 это не Ашдод случайно?

[boomtao]

I hope the bird was not hurt by your propellors!

[andrewid1976]

@boomtao Exactly where you see the propeller? ))

[boomtao]

@andrewid1976 -- Well, obviously the camera is pointing to one side only. I was assuming it had a propellor, since most RC planes do. But I stand corrected (I looked it up: it has no propellor!).

[pohonglin]

one of best video. thanks for sharing :)

[andrewid1976]

@pohonglin thanx 2 u

[flixsoc]

Russia, I recognized the raven with chest :)

[andrewid1976]

@flixsoc ha-ha)

[jackhallowatt]

thats one hard core raven. i like how you can see its eyes roll back into its head when it attacks.

[DarkMyst3ry]

it's a shame you guys didn't have a ground view cam of this battle haha

[andrewid1976]

@DarkMyst3ry youtube.com/watch?v=K9RbajNWjy­w

[Munty102]

fucking raven. u shud have burned it with ur jet engines

[nx2overide]

His got you in the cross-hairs.. boom your dead!

[khxml]

Wow, the bird is smart enough to attack the elevators to bring the plane down.

[echodots]

That was awesome! I love how the raven's eyes seemed to glow. Of course it was the reflection from the sun... but still, pretty awesome indeed.

[nameofthepen]

Bogey at 6:00 high! He's on my tail! OMG, he's got a lock on me! Requesting permission to fire! REQUESTING PERMISSION TO FIRE!!!

.

Ooooops! Too late. Never mind.

[zepass]

yalla ahi!

that was cool!

[stormchaser34869]

dang man, that's a nice camera. What is it?

[andrewid1976]

@stormchaser34869 CarKey cam - try to find on eBay o HC, cost is 10-15$

[mattgick]

This is not a Raven but a Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix). You can identify it by it's ash grey body. A Raven is bigger and would have less problems bringing down the plane, which the crow did nicely :D

Cheers!

[andrewid1976]

@mattgick thanx for info ) good luck!

[aaronMschmidt]

@mattgick Also known as a magpie.

[daemn42]

@mattgick Actually, looks a lot more like a Magpie.  It has a much higher contrast between black and white feathers, and is known for being quite aggressive toward other birds and even pedestrians and cyclists on the ground. There's a guy in AU with an FPV plane that gets attacked by a Magpie every time he flies and has many videos of it. It even managed to pluck the camera off his plane (through which he flies).

[mhirtes12]

If it were me, I would have glued a few razorblades to the tail. That would have taught that bird the error of his ways.

Quote the raven, he F'd around nevermore.

[felipelicon]

@mhirtes12

Moron

[mhirtes12]

@felipelicon Lighten up.

[SoylentMilk]

You should have a second plane to cover the first one :P

[mariosdel]

next time use chaff n flares :P

[lfdfqlfdfq]

это месть кмк :) обычно то  бывает наоборот, пилотажками ворон гоняют, вот и нажили врага.

P.S. только это не Raven, а Crow
