ASM C-130 Hercules - Engine Flame out Flight - 1-30-2011

[audis2quattro1]

Wow a great landing, the scale speed at touch down must have been 300+ mph!!

[pillsareyummy]

Nice RC. I bet it cost a fortune.

[pillsareyummy]

Will this take me to mars?

[formerparatrooper]

Robert, you mention FPV Goggle systems. I would love to try something like this with my model ship but I have no idea how they work. Where do I look to get them? Any help is appreciated.

[Rendall98]

top speed?please answer

[757mech1]

Your thumb wouldn't slip off if you'd fly with your thumb and pointer finger. I used you fly with my thumb until I got into high performance stuff like you and a friend of mine told me the same thing and he said you will feel the airplane better and have better control. I did it and it works. That was 22 years ago and never went back to the thumbs only.

[atlantic1952]

Very well saved, good piloting!

[jeepman65]

Beautiful bird, great flying. Thanks for sharing!

[Jerbod2]

Awesome stuff to play around with :)

[LJSJIUJITSU]

Whoa I didn't think you two would survive for a second but you made it!!!!!!!!!

[happyman478]

who came here cause they thought it was gonna blow?

[normgood11]

hmm, dont spose you have a good chicken satay recipe?

[toolbaggers]

@toolbaggers oops for the multi post

[toolbaggers]

that guy in the background was REALLY ANNOYING. kudos for not telling him to shut his trap

[APACHEMAN747]

can someone make me one? :D

[normgood11]

@APACHEMAN747 Yes I guess, out of the goodness of my heart, I will build you one and give it to you as a gift. Oh Credit card details would be good just so I can get your delivery address from that :D

[scubamax222]

1:19 scared me! 

[dps2027]

@scubamax222 same i thought it was a gonner!!1!!

[lerto89]

how far does the remote control signal reach up to?

[RCRedBaron]

@lerto89 : It can reach for a few miles, much further than you could see. I've used FPV Goggle systems with onboard camera and been able to fly 1 1/2 miles away before I turned back. Quality Transmitters and Receivers are the key to confidence in control. Thanks ~~Robert.

[tuinopo80]

nice landing!

[mountaindewdude76]

Nice video. Nice lookin plane.  it's a shame that the motor quit on ya and I love the part at the end when it runs off the runway a bit and you start coaching her with encouraging words. I do the same thing with my heli, lol. Sometimes ya just gotta talk to them. Nice landing, too.

[GsLegoMovies]

cool plane, better if you turn it into a gunship.

[Tabasconate1]

Nice.

[daz28pike]

Good job! you remembered to keep engines powered all the way to touchdown to avoid engine brake!

[darrindwp]

Nice vid but dude, superfast landing! Flare?

[nukebuilder]

That landing looked like it was sort of intense. Very nice airplane :)

[ruffinist]

lol the dirty 30 man even an rc one flies with broken engines

[pinwizz69]

That shows just how good the real deal bird was designed !!! They can actually fly on 2 engines in an emergency, not recommended but they can. I spent 5 years in the U.S.C.G. as an AD3 in the 70s. Flght Mech HU16e Ol'Goat and HH52a Sea Guardian SARcrewman. Gotta go out, don't gotta come back. 4 Winged S,s.

[xXJoshuaDXx]

Ants use this when a ant hill gets flooded, then they send in a chopper to rescue drowning ants. :P

[matthard35]

I'm thinking, "Turn to the good engine! Turn to the good!" LOL 

[matthard35]

After watching that, I'M sweating and it's not even my plane! ha ha! Awesome job landing that thing. 

[Sanvorae]

How much did this cost?

[RCRedBaron]

@Sanvorae : To build new you are looking around $2000 dollars. The kit alone is $500, the Retracts around $300. Then motors, receiver, servos, air line kit and misc parts. Thanks for the question.. ~~Robert.

[Skeeeder]

Quick!!! Do a barrel roll!!!

[SamuelChung94]

what would happen if an outboard engine shorted?

[superskullmaster]

@SamuelChung94 That would be amazing considering THIS IS NOT ELECTRIC YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!

[henryt98]

pretty high landing speed good flying

[stevepen50]

A close shave but great control considering the problem. Well done

[RCRedBaron]

@stealthmummy : Thanks man. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment! It's appreciated.

~~Robert.

[bloodhound122]

ok i need a smoke after that one shweeew lol

[RCRedBaron]

@bloodhound122 : I had 3 or 4 smokes after I landed! LOL!

[rele30]

WOW! stunning!

[RCRedBaron]

@rele30 : Thanks man!

[fordtech08]

Great save on the take off. As you see in the video i sent i had engine quit in flight and see can see how the airplane reacted when it happened. man I was all over the rudder just to keep her straight and level. Never make a turn into the dead engine she will snap roll before you know it and land her hot with no flaps you need all the airspeed so the rudder will be affective. Ive lost two C-130s due to engines failing on one side.Thats why i went to electrics their more reliable .

[RCRedBaron]

@fordtech08 : I know exactly what you mean. Every tip I have ever given to other pilots about engine out was racing through my mind! LOL. I would go electric too, but it's just so cool with the 4 nitros buzzing! Thanks for the cool comment man! and the video response!

[Bing80]

Great save! Coming in hot though :)

[RCRedBaron]

@Bing80 : With the motor out, Hot was the only way I was going to land. Took no chances of tip stalling.

[shaneeeeak]

holy cow man. I think I'd need a change of shorts after that kind of flight. well done!

[RCRedBaron]

@shaneeeeak : LOL! Exactly! LOL! Thanks man!

[TinkerManRC]

For a minute there just after you Lifted she rolled on you I was like rudder rudder aileron and you came out of it, then it was ok now whats going on? Oh Engine out I see. that was close good job handling the big bird... Diamonds >>>>

[RCRedBaron]

@TinkerManRC : Diamonds!!! LOL! Once I lifted the diamonds were a flowing! Just thank goodness it was the inboard engine that went out.

[Dad3Sons]

Gutsy flying, RCRB!! A little thing like an IFE doesn't phase you!! Maybe with a little foamie I wouldn't care, but that gem of a plane would command a lot more respect and caution from this Chickens**t pilot!! Woot!!!

[RCRedBaron]

@Dad3Sons : Believe me, my heart was pounding when I realized I had an engine out. Thankfully it was an inboard engine though. Thanks for the cool comment man!

[TheLipRipp3r]

....a great r.c. experience caught on tape!!!!!!

[RCRedBaron]

@TheLipRipp3r : Yeehaw! LOL

[youtwoba]

Awe man ya had me on my toes the whole time. Word of advice... lol if you get a flame out LLLLLAAAAANNNNNNNNNNDDDDDD the motha! But nooooooo, you had to do a couple circuts didn't ya????Surprised ya didn't try some rolls and loops too! Great job man, I was cheerin for ya!

[RCRedBaron]

@youtwoba : LOL, thanks Tom! I was nearly holding my breath the whole flight. All I wanted to do was land, but I didnt want to panic at the same time either. It actually flew half decent, just had to hold a bit of rudder. Again, Thanks Tom! Appreciate the Cheer!

[PatBALEX]

Wow..Good save...Nice flying,I've seen these ASM C-103's crash with an engine out on take-off...

[RCRedBaron]

@PatBALEX : Im sure if it had been an outboard engine, this video could have turned out a lot different!

[photobart1]

Nice save but one word of caution not a good idea having someone touch your transmitter while you are flying. He did not know where your flap switch was. In my opinion just not a good idea letting some fool with your controls. I am sure he meant good and was trying to help you out.

[RCRedBaron]

@photobart1 : It's all good, the guy you heard was the original owner of this C-130. He's also the field trainer out there. We fly together all the time so I had to problem with him flipping the flaps on since I was full on busy controlling the yaw. Of course you heard him say he wasnt sure where I programmed flaps so he didnt touch the radio. But you're right though, no one should be touching the radio except your spotter in an emergency, a spotter you know and trust.

[randyneighbour]

great save

[RCRedBaron]

@randyneighbour " Appreciate that man! Thanks!

[carlosmurphy4u]

Zoom lens anybody???

[RCRedBaron]

@carlosmurphy4u : Check it out, Hobby-Lobby FlyCamOneHD camera. Has a belt clip that also allows you to slip onto a baseball cap. Instant Hat Cam! Unfortunately, there is no zoom you can control while in hatcam mode. But for a Very Small Lightweight camera, this thing takes some awesome video.

[poerik]

nice work

grtzz

[RCRedBaron]

@poerik : thanks man! That was quite the interesting flight for sure.
