  • Gee Bee is fugly

  • that guy wearing the shads he look proper pissed ! lol

  • hard luck pork chop.

  • Being that this is in California...I guess the lawyers will sort it out.

  • bought down like a boss !

  • The crash was sad because of the loss of hours and hours of work. But the snoopy part at the end, OMG, that is hilarious!

  • nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­o! its horrific!!!!! oh well if you fly rc you will have crashes and mishaps like this, I piled my Sbach 342 straight into the ground, elevator failure got me. Its smashed to bits :( videos like this are therapy for me

  • I fall asleep watching them also....but I think it would be fun to be at the controls.

  • Poor Gee Bee !

    

  • i though snoopys dog house was hilarious

  • My left ear is gone

  • Can't believe they would allow this so close to a freeway.

  • A shame. But at least it came down in style.

  • @Fastbikkel it sure did, it looked like he was shot down on the western front XD

  • Love the sport, love the engineering, love the spirit of competition.

    I also get a little wet when they crash.

    Safe flying!

  • Although I fly for a living, I never could find any interest in these RC planes.

    I went to a RC meet with a friend, and I damn near fell asleep.

  • @tradernorton05

    I think you are a liar.

  • @wcolby

    Well sir, I'm sorry that you feel that way, but rest assured I wont be losing any sleep over it.

    Have a great day!

  • @tradernorton05 it's called a hobby, abit like your bees. I mean who the heli wants to be a bee keeper. Now that would be boring, and you fly what for a living?? arn't you to old to fly??

  • @tradernorton05 It may be because you fly for a living. Before I became an engineer I loved to build hobby models. Now i get my building "fix" at work. I still build RC airplanes but not as much.

  • @tradernorton05 You mean you fly paper airplanes from your cubicle from the far corner of the office building, right?

  • @tradernorton05 . your full of crap. if you realy loved flight, you would love the rc part to. they are scale models of the real thing. elevator. rudder, ailerons, and some have retractable landing gear and flaps. so if you realy fly then u obviously dont love what you do.

  • @brianstephens30

    i dont fly , dam i never even been in a plane , but would love to be able to fly one of these babie's :) although i would prefer to learn to fly a large scale heli .

  • @tradernorton05 Isn't it really expensive to fly real airplanes?

  • @tradernorton05 R/C plane flying isn't a spectator sport anymore than sitting in an airliner for 2 hours is flying.

  • @tradernorton05 I wouldn't want to be a passenger on your plane, guys like you tend to fly over the airport without waking up.

  • @tradernorton05

    It is more interesting to fly than just to watch ;)

  • @tradernorton05 well good for you, a lot of us can't fly real planes so this is as close as it gets.

  • @tradernorton05 What you do on drugs doesn't count as "for a living".

  • @tradernorton05 fair comment the clubs can be a bit like that, but try flying one , or just an entry level ready to fly, if your a flyer, like u are, you will enjoy your r/c purchase , nice day, open field, on your own or with a freind, very relaxing and fun. anyway happy landings.

  • @tradernorton05 and yet you watch these videos??

  • He can fly a house with a dog on it, but he cant fly a airplane? Lol jk :)

  • i saw this at school today.

  • See and avoid... Fail.

  • Add some lead weights to the 'Snoopy Plane' and then I'll permit the idea.

  • hahaha :D @1:56 the laugh was EPICCC!!! xDDD

  • Epic plane at 1:50

  • when the biplane went spinning it looked fine to me.

  • It looks to me like the bi-plane steered into the gee bee

  • But hamster in it with parachute

  • has anyone ever been to a flying field ware a geebee DIDNT crash? they either crash on takeoff or landing..this is the first mid air collision ive seen though..i LOLd alot..any time i ever see a GeeBee at a field i always bet another field member that the geebee willl crash by the end of the day..i never loose the bet.. :P

  • that lucky yellow bastard

  • I never did like GeeGees, they look like a pregnant bumblebee! Not sure how they fly, but they don't do it well.

  • Its ok that'll buff out!

  • AwesoMe Video

  • man those planes r bigger than they look

  • I recognize that airfield from my flight simulator.Couldn't have happened to an uglier plane.I hate GBs,the Eric Cartmans of the aviation world.

  • If rc plane crashes to hard floor e.g cement, can the parts like motors still be used?

  • @DarrenDiAntonio

    It works the same way as humans. Jump out of an airplane without a parachute onto concrete and tell me if you can walk away.

  • I like that little red fat airplane...it's like if it was there just to smash something and it really did :)

  • I Hate those GeeBees & Those Fokkers....! :)

  • now the pilots can focus on losing their virginity!

  • Gee Bees are gay!

  • 1:51 WTF are they doing with my HOUSE!!!!

  • the gee bee trolls so hard

  • gotta love snoopy

  • lmfao Dog House crashed

  • crash happens at 0:35

  • RAF flyhing house :D

  • good thing it didn't land on the road :)

  • I lol'd when i saw snoopy

  • the guy carrying the GeeBee back looks destroyed....(not that I blame him).

    The biplane guy was smart and made his kid carry the plane back (also, not that I blame him)

  • I'd be highly disappointed, but its part of the sport

  • as it was spinning round going for the ground i forgot it was a small scale model and was expecting an epic fireball..

  • May day May day...

  • wtf.. a flying house. WTF!

  • Snoopy FTW!!!

  • unlucks

    

  • do not worry... the motor continues by itself... just contin.. o sh**... u can`t.... =\

  • the odds of that happening.....gotta be SO slim

  • I lol'ed at snoopy showing them all up.

  • and this is why i never go to any rc club i have a bad anger issuses

  • @bassonmyolmonster

    True, but eventually they went the same way :-)

  • @wcolby the trash?

  • i like how the port a potty truck passes righ when the biplane crashes LOL

  • Jet wash?

  • Even tho it sucks that the planes were wrecked, that bi plane performed a beautiful death spiral.

  • ha ha!!

  • Poor Gee Bee

  • is there anyway to catch it???

  • SOMEBODY CALL STATE FARM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Slow-Mo Debrief and My Two Cents: While trying to get out of the spin the control throws were in the wrong direction allowing inducing furthing spin instead of recovery. The slow mo showed up elevator with back and forth movement of the rudder. If you find your self in a spin with your plane use neutral or down elevator and rudder deflection needs to be in the opposite direction of spin. Said another way rudder deflection to the outside of the turn.

    Awesome video!

  • @HeliFlightRCU Well said, I was just about to say the same thing, why no spin recovery?

  • @HeliFlightRCU Without the engine the biplane was WAY out of balance ...no way to exit the flat spin when the CG is that far aft....... ( yes I fly)

  • @HeliFlightRCU

    If your're talking about the biplane, he's not going to recover no matter what his control inputs are. The right wing is shredded and the engine separated from the fuselage. The aircraft's center of gravity is way off, to the rear, an impossible control situation.

  • @HeliFlightRCU Flat spins cant be recovered that easily. He lost the engine giving a more aft center of gravity, therefore there is pretty much no way he can turn the flat spin into a normal one (from where you can recover like you said).

  • @HeliFlightRCU The control direction was irrelevant - the engine was missing, throwing the CofG way back out of the acceptable range of the model. Chances are that having the engine removed, it probably also removed the battery/receiver etc.

    CofG too far forward - land hard,

    Too far back - landfill.

  • @HeliFlightRCU and if you find your engine ejecting off the airplane you are going to have a SERIOUSLY aft CG shift which is going to make controlling the airplane very, very, very challenging...so while I also see some pro-spin inputs, I wonder how much anti spin inputs would have helped bring it back to earth...

  • @HeliFlightRCU 100% !

  • HEHE!

    

  • the ending is the best lol

  • fly-by

  • fly-by blue with trail attacks red

  • atleast it looks cool

  • wow that small fat plane took your motor off clean

  • 1.59 DO SOMETHING MUTLEY!!

  • are those chemtrails

  • cool flying field, have u ever been to trabuco flyers in south oc?

  • mono/ultra/ora-coat is a beautiful thing...until it is punctured...I've heard them pop like a shot gun going off before..crazy! nice video

  • 1:52 is awesome

  • that chubby red and white airplane looks cool!!

  • 1:52 is the best bit...

  • Why is it that Gee Bee and crash are almost synonymous ??

  • Damn that hurt

  • I've never seen more incidents at any flying club than I have at this one. I will never fly there again. I had a problem with my plane and kept yelling "LANDING" an nobody could hear me, I finally landed because I had to, and someone jumped all over me for not communicating. I saw two mid-airs the day I was there, and a couple other incidents. The place has danger written all over it. If I ever go again, I'm bringing only my video camera.

  • Eject! Eject! Eject! :)

  • nice video i liked the plane that looked like a house funny crash

  • i bet a real plane would be worse

  • SMART ENGINE- It ejected itself immediately!!! ;))))))

  • is it true that owners looks like their planes? ??? lol

  • what are those planes made of

  • @GIZMO30027

    Tho there's a large range of materials used, the most common materials are Balsa wood and plastic film.

  • co-pilot : we lost engine no 1

    pilot : its ok

    co-pilot: its one and only engine sir

    pilot : oh damn...

  • lol that sucks

  • OUCH again! Looks like some candidates for crashproofing! Although we only install it in foamies up til now, I'm sure that it could be applied to more complicated models like those.Beautiful planes, by the way!

  • Holy crap! the first time I watched this video i did not notice that snoopy had a gas engin, not the second time i watch i see that its gas!

  • I'd bet that biplane had alot of fuel & oil in its tanks to come down that nose heavy with no engine.

  • The red plane looks like the sylvester firework bees, who rotate.

  • cool

  • Know the name of the airplane that crashed with the Bee Gee?

  • biplanes fault? doing a loop in the flight pattern

  • At least the bipe pilot had "Smoke ON" during mid-air, so the engine continued to smoke on the way down... I bet that made it MUCH EASIER to track the engine's fall and find it afterwards. I've seen a few mid-airs like that where neither plane had smoke system, and after crash, when everybody gave up and went home, one plane's engine was STILL MISSING because nobody could see where it fell to have any idea how far from plane to look for the missing engine.

  • fatality

  • @Kyxis Not

  • @wcolby sad to see two fav planes of mine coliding =(.. they still flying?

  • @wcolby He meant to say "double fatality"

  • @Kyxis tee hee

  • The pilot ejected on 0:38 but i see no parachute!

  • @sonaovdgg that would be the engine falling off

  • I HAVE TO HIT U!!!!!!!!!!!

  • exuse me i have to hit U!!!!!

  • haha awesome snoopy plane!

  • it was the smoke

  • 1:36 Snoopy vs Dick Dastardly :P

  • Its the gee bees fault. If you watch closely,you'll see that the gee bee tried to curve downwards too fast.

  • I like Snoopy

  • I want a Gee Bee, thats one cooool looking model!!!

  • I like the snoopy plane! lol

  • da last plane was awsomeeee!!!

  • Was the damage bad?

  • gee bee

  • snoopy dog house WIN!!!!

  • gee bee's are ugly

  • The first one it looks like a flying water melon..haha...

    Nice video my friend...

  • funny how the Gee Bee owner looks alot like the fat plane he flys...Kinda like dog owners resemble their pets...lol

  • Where were the callers?

  • Ever notice how people look like their airplanes? C'mon, just kidding.

  • Snoopy plane ftw.

  • Me, being an Rc airplane builder and flier, this makes me very sad.

  • TCAS would have saved those planes

  • eject eject eject !

  • Did they had to file a model version of a HATR?

  • I feel sorry for the pilots, that's alot of work gone in a second.

  • That was a nice Bip

    The GeeBee are such an Ugly model But each to there own

    GOOD VID

  • Its funny in slomo "Moooooooo"

  • I caught this crash on tape as well and finally got around to uploading it. I'll add it to the video response.

    Always tough when nice planes crash, but at least these went down in spectacular fashion!

  • I caught this on tape too and finally got around to uploading it. I got it from a different angle and also caught the Gee Bee going in.

    youtube.com/watch?v=C0YoAYatWJ­g

    Always stinks when nice planes crash, but at least these went down in spectacular fashion!

  • If Porky Pig Built an airplane this would be it!! Look at that thing!

  • haha did you see the portapottys at 1:33

  • thumbs up for the snoopy plane

  • Weak flatspin....

  • are those rc cars in the background?

  • IS THIS IN SAN JOSE,CA CLUB???

  • @zamoua

    YES!!!

  • @wcolby this park is in real flight g5

  • @wcolby The Gee Bee is one mean fatty :-)

  • 0;27-1;13; ''this is gee bee 1 every thing is fine, over'' ''this is bipe, poping smoke over'' then ''THIS IS bipe, a gee bee collided with my fuelsilage and i'm going down!'' ''this is gee bee 1, i've hit a bipe and i'm losing control of the plane and decending at an unsafe speed over!'' then, BOOOOOOM! nice vid

  • Oh my god,

    Sorry but I hate the Gee Bee :S

  • Didn't realize how large that Biplane was til I saw the kid carrying it.

  • @mayej

    Actually, the biplane is normal size, the kid is very short ;)

  • @wcolby actually ,,the biplane is not an r/c ,,the boy is in the guinness book of records for the tallest kid ever 

  • @wcolby

    Well, great use of forced perspective then!...lol

  • LOLOL AT 1:37

  • Fortunately no passengers were injured.

  • was that kid piloting the blue aircraft????

  • @TheYoyobeast

    The guy following the kid (holding the engine) was flying the bipe.

  • For some reason, the word crash and gee-bee always find there way into the same sentience.

  • Is the Gee Bee yours?

  • @Orangebike666

    Nope, i'm just the camera guy.

  • @wcolby oh, If it was yours I wouldn't have said anything because I had nothing nice to say, but I think its kind of an ugly aircraft... it sucked to see the biplane go down :(

  • @Orangebike666

    I appreciate you concern.

    I don't think the Gee Bee is ugly, but, I don't like it because it is so hard to control, in real life it was a dangerous airplane. Biplanes are very forgiving.

  • Not anought space ? or to much smoke
