Bird Attacks RC Predator RQ-1L and Crashes it

[cfarmsrgv]

i agree songs suck... why did u crash

[trobi81]

It sounds like porno music!

[45cougar]

I would have brought out my 12ga loaded with bird shot!!!

[santanoreal1096]

guess he got a beak full of propeller

[MD80phreak]

My planes have also been hunted in the air, but against EDF MiG-15 and P-51D craws, hawks and seagulls have no chance, havn't had falcons in their tail. Anyway in the most of the times I had been able to out turn the bird then taking a ruthless hunt back then the bird escaps so quick he can.

[TZRruby]

The bird must be damn proud of himself. Taking down a whole plain.

[flamesfromblazer]

How bout take up a helicopter next time with sharpened rotors . .haha !

[flamesfromblazer]

I think this clearly shows the difference between a 'professional ' flyer and an amateur one. . .haha !!

[1fatgangster]

get a hotliner, get eaven

[1fatgangster]

go go gadget smoke screen

[donbahadur]

is it in changhsa ,?

[RockyXTR]

Its a drongo- its what they do when they are mating. It's payback for that horrid music

[mwk109]

Did the bird crash?

[henshooten]

dude that rc had no chance ,sorry for your loss

[TheMrBlinx]

Someone now needs to develop a micro-machine gun for just such encounters. Hey, squirt a green laser at their eyes. It messes up other pilots.

[PlebScrubber]

bring a bb gun to clear the air space before take off

[mrfourtysevenman]

birds are DICKS

[MajorTiga]

i think that bird may have wooped your ass haha thumbs up!!

[freezingsun8]

super birdie!!

[Marty514]

Save yourself some time and fast forward to 3:05 ...

[mateo789100]

Total kozak

[stevekon11]

This shows the amazing skill of the perequine falcon....probably the only bird in the world that can ascend rapidly then tuck its wings to go jet stream for high speed decent.

[AlextheGreat0567]

never fly near power lines!!

[Scitech101]

You should have done a barrel roll.

[Iceman11714]

I hope the Tali ban watch this, hopefully they'll start jumping off cliffs with makeshift wings strapped to they're arms in an attempt to attack our predator drones.

[xenubarb]

Peregrine falcon, NICE!

[aragon2235]

4:27 the birds like: "PULL UP DAMMIT!"

oh btw if you guys wanna skip to the attack: 3:05

[mustang19ms]

thats why you should put missiles on your rc planes!

[7jsm7]

You put that message in that says here's the footage with audio, yet you put an extremely annoying, stupidly repetitive song that runs the entire length of the video and blocks out all of the original audio. I like the footage it's incredible that you were able to capture that on camera, but please remove the stupid song, music doesn't always make a video better, in fact it can make a very good video seem very bad.

[shanedrix]

Should have pressed "z" or "r" twice...

[maxxbad17]

FALCON STRIKE!

[axelmixer2]

So your 3 kill streak whas usless :/

[codzomz]

@axelmixer2 well not exactly, he got a UAV, but some asshole on his team called in a blackbird anyway!!

[madsimoninsky]

bad luck but great to catch on video

[madsimoninsky]

bad luck.  great to catch it on video

[1mrunforgetable]

douche bag from above! - just when you thought you left all the a holes behind on the ground.

[ddbb1233]

I love my planes... But even more, I would love to have a vid of a bird attacking my plane... even if it meant a new motor on order :) great vid.

[IanBDunne]

I'm guessing you are in the states and I'm not sure which species of raptor you have there but your assailant was definitely a falcon.

[Tassadar1989]

Quick, do a barrel roll!

[J3lackb3rry]

stupid bird 

[1DarkMasK1]

DENIED

[rosmerimine]

Of all the places your plane could have crashed it decided to crash on the hard path and not the grass lol.

Damn nature you kick ass.

[thefrogkid]

Shouldve done a barrel roll.....

[UCSPanther20]

Looks like that drone got intercepted...

[The666Reaver]

for your next plane, one word........missiles!

[Skepperly]

Gives new meaning to "Bird Strike"

[chir0pter]

from the looks of it the bird looked like a falcon, that's a pretty rare sight to see it perform its natural hunting behavior!

[chir0pter]

nice work bird :-D

[MrBKBiker]

It appears to be a falcon, bird of prey, so I guess it is just role reversal,

[RCPhilN]

Angry Birds :D

[RCPhilN]

lol It would be too funny if the bird hit the ground too :D

[mancamiatipoola]

How ironic that the Predator should be downed by a predator.

I hate to be the one the says this, but can u pls pls pls tell me the name of the song? The music soundtrack is awesome.

Pls reply.

[thomjz]

Eagleone to base station. Base Station: I have a predator in my airspace request permission to bring it down. Base: Permission granted.. Based: Has the enemy erradicated. Eagleone: That bird will never fly again.

[dbeiswenger]

Goliath Goliath this is Eagle eye, we have a tango inbound, request permission to engage

*permission granted*

Rodger that, EAGLE EYE FOX THREE

*missile shoots*

*bird dies*

*Hippies cry*

[JBME]

BLESS GOD'S ANGELS AKA BIRDS ! YOU MIGHT PRAY FOR ONE IF A MILITARY EQUIPPED ONE COMES TO KILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS SOME DAY TOO SOON ! youtube...c...o...m...results.­..search_query=Predator+RQ-1+%­2F+MQ-1+%2F+MQ-9+Reaper++robot­+drones+kill&oq=Predator+RQ-1+­%2F+MQ-1+%2F+MQ-9+Reaper++robo­t+drones+kill&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&g­s_sm=e&gs_upl=15375l28719l0l29­687l21l21l0l20l0l0l547l547l5-1­l1l0

[MrBenjaminkruegereu]

I`d stalled it into the Prop or punched it up with a suden pitch - roll,,. at least a meal!

[Knifing2Survive]

Shoulda done a barrel roll..

[f1r31c3r1]

The poor bird wanted to fry in duo with you hehe

[ZebbMassiv]

need to attach some sort of weapon on that thing

[Khazar01]

Dogfight with a bird:

Bird at 6 o'clock

Plane begins evasive maneuvers

Bird uses close range machine guns (that was mistaken as a giggle)

Bird hits planes engine with a burst from its guns

Plane goes down - MAYDAY MAYDAY

[antimattercrusader]

BTW: What exactly did the bird do that crashed the plane?

[antimattercrusader]

I would fuck that bird UP! Get yo self another plane, find him, and kill him!

[archedperson]

Nature 1

Man 0

[67714189]

Your skill so bad, .....!!!!, you better fly the paper plane...! RC not sutable for you.

[IvySummers1]

Amazing, That bird was properly trying to protect its territory, it may had some youngins near by and thought your plane was a threat. To bad it crashed it though... it was cool watching it :D

[Rogue1031]

Looks like she flies very heavy. And off topic, who was that singing at the beginning, nice voice, good song?

[creap32]

This is why i sometimes hate birds

[rabone1963]

its a shame you have so meney nobs that dont like your video ? i dont know why but thay are every where in the would to all of you lot if you cannot make a good coment then dont make one pepol take time to put ther videos on here and we dont need rubish like you cominting with rubish

sorrey about you plane but i must say iv lost some mysellf in the same way all the best regards jhon

[tenou213]

Hey bro. We know you like RC, so we made an RC into an RC so you can RC while you RC.

[LarryFoulkePixy]

May day may day, RC Predator going down. Requesting immediate assisstance.

[Delayar111]

That is the Millennium Falcon and it is Chuck Norris' Pet!

[weaver2109]

Fucking blujay. I bet that's what it was.

[giannivee1]

Ali!!!! ha ha...old vid but we found you..haha...too bad about the bird..ha ha

[Womenftw12345]

the guy sounds like a little nerdy girl



[hoplite46]

This was a bird defending it territory it doesnt think the plane is lunch it thinks its another bird

[stevecraignet]

Ouch! Predator 0, Bird 1.

[warriorscatsrule805]

may day wtf is that i think its a chinesse bird guy nope his eyes arent slanted back wait he has a little mostach just like hit...... OMG plane guy what? guy its HITLERS BIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[homme012]

Remeber : Made in China mean Smash the chit a of it :D

[tooosweeet]

Bird: "bogey down!"

[gaiamantic]

Now that bird will have so much street cred he will be gettin all the bitches and respect..

[TheHorta]

We have discovered your weakness, USA.

[asommer518]

Looks like you stalled it by over reacting to the bird.

[bombardier420]

@asommer518 +1. im no expert, but it looked like he coulda out ran him if he woulda stayed level

[SSFW365]

Must of been because the plane was white.

[Heya4000]

lol.... "damn bird"

[Heya4000]

Wow... its so windy, there are power lines, theres water, you couldn't have chosen a harder place to fly... other than a mountain. Also whats that interesting looking building behind the road?

[ajparenteau]

it sounds like a screaming child

[darrenmuse]

I can't believe that bird went after your plane! Lol.

[doormaneamons]

that bird must have hit around 4-5gs after that dive!

[N600LW]

Looked like you stalled and spun the airplane to me. The bird didn't help things any, but still...(been there, done that many, many times myself, lol).

[jnmia1]

wow, out of all the places you could have nose dived you had to be on the side walk.

[Sektor255]

Like a Boss!

[GHDC175]

your a trator to your people putting those terrorist stickers on that rc plane

[HelmerRamone]

@GHDC175 What stickers?

[williamkmanire]

@GHDC175 Fuck you . :D

[heathfiedler]

lol its sad when the bird can out fly it but then again it is a bit slower then that bird xD

[heathfiedler]

not a good idea to fly near power lines lol

[goofynewfie12]

i get chased by birds while im flying all the time but their not as agressive as this guy holy crap!! he's going on to take down an airliner.

[stoneddoggie]

at 4:50 damn bird lmao

[o0GhostWarrior0o]

I wanna use one of those, fly it high enough to where i can scare my neighbors and they're gonna be like ''Hide, we're being watched''

[CSnakeV]

Next time add machineguns to the plane and do retaliation.

[GranCoyote]

Great video!! Once a Milano attacked my modelhob "brisa" (nitro powered) and I have great fun running away from him; when I did a looping and the bird saw I was behind it flew out the area really fast.... This is funny, but only if the bird won´t get hurt.

[braincrisp1]

Man, that sucks. That's when you need a machine gun to take out the enemy.

[Remousamavi]

I'm gonna develop one of these, birdproof.

[mark675]

id of got the air rifle on that bitch! lmao

[shadowDJoldskool]

freakin uav

[Zeewolf71]

Nice Dogfight :D

[Zeewolf71]

Nice Dogfight :D

[g57462]

peregrine falcon kick,s ass

[Rettungsliegerfan]

FRIENDLY UAV ONLINE! - UAV UNAVAILABLE! TRAILER DESTROYED!

[TWA717]

Looked like a Coopers Hawk - Great footage!!

[vigowaygo12]

damn nature, you scary!

[MrPastalover3000]

"Damn bird..." LOL!

[CHOLACHACAL]

you lost a plane but got an awesome video : -)

[staniboy1234]

Just to save you time the actual attack starts at 3:05

[ecotts]

That's some cool footage.... but like the other guys said, try not to fly near power lines.

All the best :)

[epiccat12]

Flying near power lines not a good idea!!!!!!!

[PenorBethith]

Once I had a red tailed hawk attack one of my rc planes but it got scared away by the propeller or something.

[Dannyboy0921]

sorry about your plane..but that's friggin funny.

[viscon2011]

it appears that even birds are pissed off about mankind treading in their sacred territory.

[TheEvivzorglub]

This bird is probably a falcon. He was the predator.

[k2477456]

if u had an f-16 you could have won this dogfight:P

[viscon2011]

@k2477456 not really, the peregrin falcon can travel up to 300mph, and albatrosses can fly up to 25,000 feet, RC jets aren't allowed to go beyond 150mph by law.

[k2477456]

@viscon2011 i know it was a joke plus tis didnt look like a peregrine falcon 2 me

[brandontheninjag]

@viscon2011 just over 200 MPH actually. still pretty fast. and, there are other birds that routinely fly at more than 30,000 feet. highest recorded sighting is nearly 40,000 feet. pretty impressive.

[sethchaffin1999]

dude you should of brought the fight to the bird just dive pull up level out slow turn until your behind him the full speed on his butt

[fpv4live]

ho fuck ahahahaa no gun loll

[TheFlightLog]

what a cheapy plane

[rune7tom77]

man i hate it when people say its to windy to its never stoped never will

[prokysoft]

Bird block your prop, you need turn off gas for a second and then turn up again to start it again... its a motor protective mechanism. However this crash was unnecessary, your servos still working.. just no skill.

[ovnismx]

Perhaps it was the noise, it was very high pitched and the birds are sensitive to those frecuencies it loos like the bird just was passing by and said: shut the f"("k up!.

[lilrara11804]

let me save 3 min. of your life from horrible music and boredom... to the dogfight 3:00

[Mightiflier]

Score 1 for the falcon, 0 for the Predator...Next time have the countermeasures on board.

[shamgate]

damn son...that sh1t got wrecked...damn bird

[shamgate]

did you have the UAV in the kitchen? maybe it smelled like food....

[sikeman77]

INCOMIN!!!



[arielwollinger]

tunak tunak tun!

[Aquosandhaos]

maybe gorrilla glue can fix it haha no it wont sorry dude next time attach a paintball/airsoft gun to it

[jasonhunt19201]

Ive had a bird of this same species chase my parkzone ultra micros around. I was lucky they he never caught them as he was bigger than p-51. He lived near my house and would come to see me when ever I would fly the them.

[killer231233]

same thing happened to me once... good thing i had an airsoft gun attached to the noes of the plane xD

[jetkid1717]

THe Airforce now Has A new "recon" wepon

[SUPERSS90]

Is call a Hawk

[Famine99show]

rvenge for the bird that got killed on american dad by one of these things. lol

[GuyAroundTheCornerHB]

5:28 the plane is dieing...

ALL HAIL MEIGHTY BIRD!

[joseph6505]

this is revenge of the bird that got sucked into a jet engine LOL

[zanthrasw]

Hate to say it, but I think you may just have gotten out-skilled by a pilot with more flight time than you.

[paraglide01]

Nice dog/bird fight, sorry you lost ;-) Keep practicing your scissors, barrel rolls and cuban eights and next time you'll be the one chasing that bird.

[commonman80]

Good video. However, Next time the wind gets a hold of it, just cut the engine and bring it down in a wide spiral for the landing. It's a lot easier than fixing it. LOLOL :-)

[MrKillermeatball]

they flew into a restricted bird controled airspace

[BMXBilly97]

@MrKillermeatball Lol

[manixcer]

wait till big bird hears about this.

:)

[saddie15]

haha i enjoid this video.

but its not so good for the plane now its broke:(

[MrCommonlane]

horried gear moters if u had brushless you could of sped away lol

[iceagescrat1]

3:22 for the crash.

[XPLANEFSX]

PREDATOR : 0

BIRD : 1

[Tiggerpilot]

DON'T FLY WITHOUT A SHOTGUN....TAKE THE BIRD OUT...BEFORE, OR AFTER.

[betofazzo]

Collective you are crazy!!hehehehe

[c0ldsteal19]

At the end of your vid, why was the plane beeping?

[modwebby]

that bird is a reincarnated fockewulf pilot i guess, splash 1

[MrToshTogo]

Although I mourn the damage to the beautiful plane, I have to admit that I was pulling for the falcon. He did not like having his territory invaded and he fought back! It was like watching a WW2 dogfight fought to it's usual conclusion. I just wonder if the falcon did a victory roll as he was climbing back up. :)

[gisellemartins20]

Its a beautiful young peregrine falcon, just the fastest animal on Earth. Respect...

[Wolfenion]

I'm surprised the bird's face didn't get a prop blade wedged into it seen as you had a push prop.

[kdraper2007]

looks like the majority of the plane is OK. get some foam, build your own nose section. really modify it.

[xrayracer1]

@kdraper2007 when you say really modify it, do you mean add bird seeking rockets?

[skinnywhop87]

lol i think the cost of a new airplane was worth that video and experience. Can't complain too much

[vasprap]

it was a falco peregrinus the fastest bird on the world but your motor was a v8 ferrari hahahah

[underverser]

Next time buy a rc plane that is faster than these angry birds :D

[minameisjake]

omg such an old video

[repawnd]

I wasn't worried about the plane, I was worried the bird would get hurt by the propeller.

[Garfeh26]

That bird was trained to take down that plane

[F35JSFA1]

POP FLARES!!!.... WHERE ARE YOUR FLARES?

[SkateLikeMikey]

Get a live camera fixed and you can spy on your wives ;) 

[jjs4you2]

Time to add a rear facing BB gun on that thing! or some mini Hellfires ;-) It can be fixed!

[bassplace88]

Looks like the REAL Predator won this one. lol. I have flown with birds, but have yet to be attacked. I am going to look into this phenomenon and see what I can do to avoid any conflicts. 

[wildbill6976]

It was an American bird... It saw the "made in china" sticker on plane....

[KinSmallProductions]

tbo just land it or bird could get hurt

[Newbeak]

Should mount little Hellfire missiles on it..

[215jondoe]

lmao Bird 1 Dick head 0

[WartHog297]

1 - 0 for the natural predator, isn't it? :P

[tenrazo215]

In a forum, they talked about birds attacking. One way to stop them is to fly upside down. It freaks them out. Another way is to do a simple roll. Since birds can't do rolls or fly inverted, they become startled and fly away freaked out.

[ixnull]

LOL! That was an ANGRY BIRD! Perhaps it wanted to protect some eggs from being stolen ;)
