its dumb thumbs. if it would have locked out that badly on either 2.4/72mhz the throttle would have closed on the failsafe, sorry he panicked. bad piloting skills.
@cod4madass With no exaggeration, this pilot has demonstrated he can do an inverted autorotation with a 90-size helicopter through an EZ-Up tent, flip and land on a table. He's also one of the pioneers of piro-flying at its most radical. It is safe to this was not a dumb-thumb. This dude does not freeze. You raise a good point about throttle so we can be pretty sure that lockout is also not the culprit that caused the crash.
@cod4madass When you have as many hours flying helis as I do, you can spot the difference between a mistake and a mechanical failure when it's another experienced pilot. That guy is 3 times the pilot that I am, YET there is no way in hell I would make a mistake like that. Not a freeze up from that high for that long. That's how I know with certainty that it was mechanical failure. Plus those that were there could hear him clearly shouting out that he didn't have it.
@buridekkk wow we are the only ones on youtube so far that try to lighten the situation but then you have dicks that get mad at us but its funny how people can act to the slightest of coments
@ob1kanukie Dude, save $300-400 and ditch the v-bars, it won't help you learn how to hover. It will keep you busy for weeks trying to tune it up correctly, or worse make you become very annoying to expert/mentor flyers at the field. Bugging them to help set up your system, until you crash again. Nothing wrong with flybar until you start doing expert 3D's. Most important sim it!!!
@csdragon83 I just can't see myself putting THOUSANDS of dollars, and dozens of hours into something that can be toast in a second with a simple radio glitch. Maybe a fail safe parachute system could be my million dollar idea. Too much money and time for a hobby that you just sit there and push some sticks. I'm not knocking rc aircraft, it's just not my cup o tea. And i'd be damned if i would buy another after something like this happened!!
@Sahadi420 This video shows an extremely rare event in RC helis--a complete control failure, a high-end machine AND a nose-in vertical plunge! RC helis are not for everybody, but they're not as bad as this video would make it seem. To put it in perspective, I personally have thousands of aerobatic heli flights in the past ten years. Average flights between crashes has been about once every 200-300 flights, average crash cost below $150.
@Sahadi420 Dude it's more like 100-200$ damage. That's a rare crash. 99% probability caused by builder assembly mistake, and 1% chance it was actual radio glitch(assuming properly installed 2.4ghz spektrum/jr system....if futaba 0.01% chance!!). Anyways, you don't fly that high as a beginner. Think 3 ft hover above the ground. Sounds boring? Then not for you. Typical buy in for this hobby is about $500 radio, $300 heli and $200 battery & charge equipment. Typical crash cost $50-$100.
@PinkYakRC There was too much damage to tell for sure, but the failure went beyond a single servo. It could have been a power (switch, battery) or receiver failure, etc. It had to be something that would have frozen everything upon failure because the heli wouldn't roll, pitch or respond in any way.
@321RCHeli old fm radio system could be possible cause. However, that's assuming that everything was assembled properly on the helicopter. This guy was a newbie, because he needed someone to help setup/trim his system. Thus, higher probability it was builder assembly error that caused this blunder.
Man, if that was mine I would put my head between my legs and kiss my ass goodbye

i agree that it was equipment failure. even if he tried he couldnt get it to go that straight into the ground!
