RJ Gritter Makes RC History with One-Wing landing

[psindrup]

Props to your mom. Cool Mom-cam :-)

[Laxpowertoo]

My wings fell off my car and I got home without a scratch...beat that!

[505197]

The landing gear survived unscathed, I'm not so sure you can actually call it a landing when the wheels are pointed upwards and so much stuff is busted. Nice flying none the less.

[lazor222]

@demmylowther look up "avant girls ircha 2008" and btw my heli could cut the head off your parrot any day, carbon fiber swinging at 2000rpm always wins.

[SK4VENGERonXBOX]

hey rj i fucked yor wife cause i fly real planes

[Aircraftfreak155]

just order the rgith side and put it on the plane and fly her agin

[IFLY2deep4U]

thanks mom for the vid

[chickenproductions56]

nrdy very very VERY nrdy

[B4its2L8guy]

What a great pilot, kept his composure and saved his plane. Great commentary too. Most pilots forget to practice flight failures. I somewhat am prepared for this as Realflight will allow for this and I have been practicing. Using this method I've already saved one plane from a failure that I was prepared for!

[Nilguiri]

Very cool. Interesting commentary from RJ.

[MerkabaStar]

Way to go. I fly. And we all know no matter what, that was a good job!

[freezatron]

wtf is going on with de comments here ?

anyhow RJ great attempt shame you didn't get it on the wheels oh well next time :)

[SickoZone]

skilled rc pilot

[DavidCYWPilot]

Very Cool! I practice the maneuver on Realflight, but thankfully have not been able to practice it in real life.

[demmylowther]

R/C Flyers. Men who NEVER get LAID.Model Twains are in that camp too. Sorry GOOBERS

[fireflybuzzbuzz]

comming from a guy who had enough spare time on his hands to both watch and comment on the video

[demmylowther]

I see no connection between my comment and yours.There is indeed a parallel between men who play with Awa pwanes ,model Chew Chew twains,stamp collecting, and never getting laid.They do all these things cause they can't get any.That's all

[mysticalpotato86]

HAHAHA I bet ur a roid freak or something, or maybe you hang around schools hoping to 'get laid'. Go get a life.

[westofthefields]

Dude, grow up. Pussies like you who make fun of people who have interests other than yours--really. Were you a bully in grade school? Didn't mommy give you enough attention?  See how childish that sounds? Lighten up and then grow up.

[demmylowther]

Thats why I made the comments ,because I am grown up and play with women of the real variety,not toy's.Your a punk that probably gets his ass kicked everytime you open your mouth.Go play with your toy's ,little man !

Talking about being childish,your the one who took a hissy fit when reading my comment and had to respond.If you were so grown up you would of ignored my comment,But I hit a nerve.Truth hurts ,right littleman ?

[ARXHMalakas]

i bet yr virginity u r some 14 yr old punk with pimples trying to show off his pensil dick on the web. i'm also dead serious when i say u r jealous of this guys plane

don't be a hater trailer trash

[demmylowther]

Wow, how did you know ? Your right,I'm a 14 year old punk who owns his own HVAC contracting business,owns his own home,mortgage paid off ,3 Harley's in the garage and a regular supply of pussy.You can reply back with all the stupid shit you want,I just shake my head and laugh.You don't know me,so you have no clue. All I know is,I don't pway wit toy aywa pwanes, ok "Sky King "? What's the sound that your airplane makes ? Homohomohomohomohomohomohooooo­ommmmmoooooooo!Women are so much more fun !

[ARXHMalakas]

Wow your fantasy it's so real, i can touch them breasts too

[demmylowther]

Ha ! My fantasy ? My reality is your fantasy. Sorry ! However,being the "Sky King" that you are,I'm sure your fantasy is putting your hands on them BIG twin props on your ARF !

[SimulationGuy121]

Dude, your the one who picks on everyone when on your channel it says your a single 49 year old whose hobbies include vegetable gardens and parrots...so your an old single guy who is self employed surfing youtube whatching videos about stuff that you don't even like, talking about peoples virginity and how they suck just so you can get everyone else down...you need to sort your self out a little mate...

[demmylowther]

Truth hurts ,doesn't it Mr. Masterbater boy ?Go play with your toys for men who never get laid,and men that are too old,where their shit don't work anymore.

Let me guess.You pway wit model Twains too ?Then beat off to a girly mag?

[Trivon90]

No I fly planes.

[demmylowther]

I guess you have no idea how utube works ? Your video came up at random on my "Up and coming video's" which I have no control of. So,I'm sorry to ground your little RC airplane weak men ,pussy men,and as Arnold would say ,"Girly men" conspiracy theory . Sorry ! OK ,you can get back to your funfly,Quickie 500 circlejerk now. By the way,what is the name of your club ? Let me guess !

GETNOPUSSY RC CLUB.Does it Sound right ?Even for you married r/c flyers.You fly RC CAUSE YOUR WIFE GIVES NO PUSSY !

[bkivie]

By the way, it's YouTube..... I think I've solved your problem... When you were a little kid (which I'm sure was just a couple years ago) your Daddy wouldn't buy you any toys.... Wait..... You don't know who your daddy is because your Mom works many corners, making it hard to pinpoint your genetics. Anyways, your miserable, useless life doesn't afford you luxuries. So do us all a favor and wash your mouth out with some Buck-Shot.... : ]

[SimulationGuy121]

lol

[SimulationGuy121]

ha..

[pilotemtnils]

Ahh, well, I could only WISH my mom was that good! :) Classic video all around then.

[pilotemtnils]

it would had been better had the cameraman not been standing on a basketball :) Great piloting!

[fmidgett]

The flight video was shot by the pilot's mom, not a professional. Her excitement and lack of experience resulted in a fairly shaky image, but I thought the emotion in her voice was one of the most endearing parts of the film.

[nagmashdriver]

Feh! Big fucking deal. An IAF F-15 lost a wing in a mid-air collision and made a perfectly normal landing. Not a wing-tip, but a whole fucking wing, fuel and all. See the video, it's on youtube and other websites.

[fmidgett]

No this is not a full scale plane. But for those of us who fly RC maintaining flight after the loss of an entire wing, much less landing, is quite a feat. Especially for a 16 year old. I've been filming during a wing failure three times now. This was the only sucessful landing. There have been others but it remains a fairly elite club.

[CLayaway1]

@fmidgett do worry, nagmash obviously has no idea how to pilot a real plane let alone a rc giant like that. "props" to the pilot, and calling it mom cam was great!

[89tommyeflight89]

You, sir, are a complete idiot. Get off the internet.

[Ricmcspeedy987]

@nagmashdriver Fuck dude its a bit different with the jets tho, imo F-15's don't really fly like a conventional plane, they have so much power that their wings aren't nearly as critical as those on planes.

[reno93535]

Well done. There's a fake vid of a fullsize plane doing that here on You-Tube. Perhaps it's been done with a fullsize plane b4. I don't know.

[Blaineboyz]

Thats a interesting idea. Make our wings pop off with a flip of ch5. or 6. Or how about our ver. stab :)

[invertmast]

didn't damage anything after losing the wing? then how come 1/2 the stab was ripped off? Are people purposely building these planes crappy now just to join this "exclusive" club?

[fmidgett]

Yes the landing bent the wing tube and pulled off one stab. But considering what happens to most people who lose a wing this was minor damage which in RJ's mind came out as "didn't damage anything" during the post landing interview. No, not intentionally built "crappy". But he had logged a few hours on the simulator practicing one-wing landings "just in case." -Fred

[strangemarley]

Wow, you guys actually have a simulator for these RC planes, I had no idea it was that advanced.

[strangemarley]

We dont even practice wing failure in real airplane simulators, Ive never even heard of such a thing as practicing airframe failures, that's one of those things where the checklist just says to put your head between your legs and...well you know the rest.

[drsheikhjunior]

Truly awsome!

[apostolosvr]

You did a really grate job!!!!

Nice and instructive video also!!!

[johnschenck]

now we are going to start seeing aircraft with pop off wings just to join this exclusive club ;)

good job getting it around the pattern, great job getting it on the ground!

[SasquatchProduction]

Great video Fred! Thanks for putting this up on Youtube, It'll be easier to show all my friends this way haha...

RJ (The Pilot from the Video to everyone else)

[oliversoto]

Man...!

Great landing...!

There's a new club with only 2 members now (as far as we know...). I hope I never get the chance to become a member myself...!
