Turbine Ventus 2 crash

[chideockleigh]

OOOPS! a little over stress me thinks! just whem it was going so well too.

Oh well.

[redtrek524]

Pushed the limits a bit too far.....

[duente80]

that's what happens when you have shitloads of money but no brains.I'm not sorry for the idiot

[zaboon123]

@duente80 No brains? How can you possibly have two brains or more? Fucking internet troll.

[STRURM249]

@zaboon123 that makes no sense...numpty

[zaboon123]

@STRURM249 It's because you don't know gramar, (s) is plural which is more than 1, get your fact straight before you comment idiot

[WConn100]

Bummer, beautiful flying though. A very well done video and some excellent RC flying, right up to the point when the wing folded.

[Bzooka69]

Thought your suppose to fly to altitude - cut the engine and glide around. What a waste. The music sucks also. LoL

[railrider52]

OUCH!!........

[jonkje]

If you have the skills and knowledge to build something so beautiful as this.. How can you be so incredibley stupid to fly it like he did? Idiot :(

[eilef48]

the wing couldnt take the g's tht it was getting =[ sad thing to see such a nice plane

[ANIKES]

such a beautifull model, ......

but you overdid it pal, not once but many time in a raw

[natvic76]

That is just sad...

[avq30r31]

if you put a turbine on a GLIDER it becomes a JET?

Way too much wing load on that baby!!!

[jballzzz]

Ya know..? I just kept thinking when,when is it going to taco!

[tjtg]

I was grinding my teeth the whole time watching the stress the pilot was putting this model through. horrible to see such a beautiful model crash.............

[matthewisstrange]

i new that was going to happen!!! a more substantial spar is needed i think!

[michi386]

2:45 ...you can see it comming...

btw: camera´s broken!

[csmeltz]

Maybe the smoke canisters? Too much over.

[therealstory1]

Motors dont belong on that..

[MrBEXTREME]

What an awesome plane...Looks like a beefier wing spar is needed. :)

[barryperrins]

What a fantastic plane. Such a shame but I hope he remakes it.

[rayrsa]

Flott video. Trist at vingen gav etter.

SKal sjekke siden din!

[Skyhighdraken]

A thing of beauty! Time to rebuild!

[Thomi234]

I´m really sorry about your nice sail plane. But your video with it´s perfect music is amazing!! You made the best out of it. Five stars.

[bigvolgin]

it is "nein " , not "nine" .

c'mon, this is rc plane flying. it happens...

[ViolentVendetta]

that was too much for the wing !

[beerpongmasterss]

at 2:46 the wing alomst snap already. You just overpowered the lightweight glider

[narnyslip]

nine nine nine nine lol

[pixeldixelshizel]

i believe that ment "no no no no" in German. =)

[discoii004]

I wonder why gliders don't have turbine engines?

B E C A U S E - you overstress the airframe with stupid stunts and over-G the wings.

[zerodura]

The wing is very strong!

[ShmeareD]

Not strong enough......

[wanageeska]

why did he do a loop so close to the ground, when you can see the stress on the wings by the g-force throughout the flight!?!?! between the fuel, the jet engine etc, the added weight was going to tax the plane's structure.. I wouldn;t do a loop like that with an unburdened glider!

BTW, whats the music at the end?

[Kurti111a]

ja så utrolig trist

[magasjau]

så utrolig trist.

[quadbikeman1001]

hahahahahahaha fail !!

[wawshaproductions]

ITS A GLIDER!

[b101aa2]

sratch built? 1. sure need to improve them skills on build strong wings. 2. wow, over stressed non stop like that, failure come quick and brutal.

[bluestar1974]

mein Beileid - war ein toller Flieger!

[Bartmobs]

lossssseerrrr!!!!

[gentarion]

ooooii nei nei nei nei nei nei nei nei nei faen (OOOOOOIIII) lol

trist at han kræsja men ikke det smartesete og putte jetturbin motor på rc glidefly.

[mgfricktal]

also ich finde da is er selberschuld den ein segler mit 9 meter spnw hat nunmal wabblige flügel das ist kein f3b segler mit dem man mit 200 kmH schnell rumdüsen kann

[christianlsgb]

ich wür mal sagen da hat sich wohl das recht tragwerk delameniert. ;-)

[Sniperson2002]

Does anyone by chance know the song or songs used for this video?

[dougiebabe]

The music to this video is by enigma not sure of the name if the song

[Sniperson2002]

Appreciate it.

[Sniperson2002]

Enigma- Push the Limits

?v=ucc78Ug4Pn0

[pylon500]

So where is the video footage from the nose camera?

[SuperRennTamlam]

Wie heißt das Lied,oder die Lieder?? Danke

[File404Error]

come on, after what you put it through.. I fly full size gliders and models, ventus is not aerobatic.. why didnt you build a fox.? shame, super workmanship.. sad end

[jxdigital]

Glad this model wasn't mine... I fly full size gliders too, but wouldn't even let my RC gliders get overstressed like this!

Though the real Ventus2 seems to be semi aerobatics approved (positive G loads only).

[MisterWillie060]

@File404Error I thought the end was funny.

[fikben]

very unlucky

[mazdog90]

lol unluckkyyy

[fikben]

Mein beileid

[segelflieger4eva]

OMG i didn´t see the pilot jumping out. I hope he survived the accident. I will never a plane it´s too dangerous

[jxdigital]

Very funny... ;)

[ronna75]

the left wing was weaker than the right,,,proven,,,sux

[jxdigital]

Yes, I partly agree. However, gliders are capable of relatively high speeds (ie, real Ventus2: 285km/h). But(!), at these speeds you should never pull too many G's (only use small deflections on all axes).

If the pilot of this model would have flown in a more normal way, then even this model could have handled the speeds shown in the video.

[jxdigital]

I have to correct you here, weight of those turbines isn't always the problem. In this case it was the wing strength being too weak for those kind of turns.

Also on full-scale gliders you can see more and more turbine powered (helper-)engines, they have a relatively light weight.

[IanSJohnston]

Was always gonna happen. You pushed it from the moment you got airborne. Sad though.

[zagiwolf]

Very sad... Muito triste....

[bybyhelmut]

Dieser Schlaumeier kann froh sein niemanden umgebracht zu haben!

Der Flieger ist ja nicht gerade weit von den Menschen entfernt eingeschlagen.

Er hat es aber auch den ganzen Flug über übertrieben.

Ich gönne ihm den hohen finanziellen Schaden so richtig!

This dude can be soooo happy that he didn´t kill anybody with his glider!!!

His way of flying looked terrible!!

I was waiting for the crash several times before!!!

hopefully he lost a lot of money!! hahaha

[roflwithurGF]

umm how much do them things cost? Send me a comment or message thx.

[davidowencoxon]

This was probably worth approx £10.000

[nkx1]

Lol. Piece a sh1t!

[Matty231]

Very good filming and editing!

[Rcbamm]

HAHA, blahahaha. That was great..

PS, gliders don't pull as many Gs as a RC pylon racer

[yo2p3u]

RIP was a nice plane but it was a very big 1 aswell and thats the truth with gliders ... they pull wayy to many G's...

[rideitstyle28]

c'est pas comme sa que sa vol un ventus!

qui ne l'avait pas vu venir???

[manhill]

yeah... don`t do that stuff with a glider... next time at least throttle the engine completely down when exiting a loop... learn the basics.

[Inuktuuk]

like who couldnt see that comming????

[femtophysiker]

.. must know that was a thermal convection plane...not suitable for the "high speed" turbine stuff... ahhh

[GlidingAbove]

wow, what a wonderful plane, too bad

[wlollpop]

at 5:44 theres a bottle hanging from the fuselage.

[wlollpop]

dumb wing

[mailliwenots]

thats why planes dont have long and thin wings that go straight out the sides.

[hrford]

It's a glider, that's how they are. Pulling too many g's!

[redtrek524]

Song??

[Surffingforever]

Pff mayb next time first learn about all the forces the plane can and can't handle ..?

your own fault

[Randomnick123]

Two things went thru my mind when i saw that first time with engines:

- Damn that thing flutters its wings off.

- Dude, keep turns easy.

[LangeTribal]

What's the song please ?

[boomerang202]

However, this is a glider, not an aerobatic plane. It is designed for slow ride, NOT HUGE SPEED, and agressive turns. And that loop in the end...:(:(:(:(

Didn't see the pilot when the wings formed almost a circle ???? I realy dont understand.... It was a beautiful machine..

[xiola6969]

Not A Stunt Plane, Do B2 Stealth Bombers do loops ? no because it stresses the plane out too much, This pilot is fired. With that much money on the line you would think they would treat it like driving a car.

[jdsteedly]

What type of smoke system did the pilot use?

[jxdigital]

Probably something like this

hobby-lobby (dot) com (slash) atricks.htm

(Sorry, we can't post links in the replies on YouTube)

[jdsteedly]

That was an outstanding job on the filming, although the rather disappointing ending...

[BoundForHell68]

Although I do not care for gliders this was a beautiful plane.  Sorry for your loss...

Nice flying...

[norm53]

anybody in avaition knows gliders can be the fastest and aerobatic too ,,,but apparently he didnt build this one to meet his frame stressing flying ,i bet if he makes another it will be flown more scale like and be much stronger otherwise he will have another expensive heap

[c0c0asauce]

really nice lookin plane sad it crashed

[pineappleboy1]

thats gotta suck

[5Fiend]

allso look at 2:45. Wing twists and bends due to sufficient wing lingitudional rigidity.

:(

[ezmosolar]

Hopefully owner did some excellent thermals in previous flights..... feel really sorry for the owner.

[Jinhan30]

wonderful bird...you should try to build a real one

[carnifex3]

If the wind span is longer than the body, don't do aerobatics! Too much stress goes into the wings. I did see that video with a plane landing that only had one wing left! A master of flying that was! But this was just unlucky.

[jxdigital]

There are lots of (also full scale-) gliders that can, and are allowed to perform aerobatics. If the wing structure is build strong enough, there is not a problem.

Of course everything can be be over stressed, like the unlucky Ventus in this movie.

[carnifex3]

Of course, there must have been weak spots that had been wearing away over time, although it must be said that if he was more careful and made thorough checks for each flight, e.g. flying surface inspections, it probably would be ok. Now inspecting what happened, it seems it was doomed before making the loop. When it leveled out, it snapped the opposite way I thought it would, and was probably hanging on the metal paneling on the wing, kept in place by centrifugal force while in the loop.

[icebarrage1166]

omg that really stinks =\ the flip was just way too much stress on the wing beautiful plane though
