Not a very experienced pilot by the look of it. The engines were skipping revs a good 20 seconds before engine died, plenty of warning for emergency landing. Pulling up when engine is cut is not good at all. And worst of all he turned with the dead engine on the inside, causing aircraft to spin.
@MrSusrus The problem was he lost the port engine and decided to put it into a high angle climb and lost his airspeed. As the guy above said he should have lowered the nose and maintained his airspeed. But you are right the engine gave him ample time and warning to land on that pass.
@MrSusrus he actually reacted quite well to a dead engine. lifted the dead one, didn't hear an increase in power, unless it was already wide open. but just got a little ambitious in the climb and over she went
The mistake is turning into the dead engine. you should have turned into the good engine and come back around, keeping the plane level by keeping your turning stick slightly to the right.
Exactly what you said in the video. Cut it in half and have two airplanes. That is what the dang plane looks like. Two airplanes morphed together. I wonder who drew the design for this years ago.
I look on video and I don't see any reactions of flaps or alierons after engine cut,
and I think the only problem was stall. Model was on sufficent altitude to safe land with one running motor. Only error was pulling up, if pilot will push down a little plane will save speed and live. sorry i doesn't use my english 10 years ;)
i think he could have done better. it he definitively didn't make the situation better by pulling up when his power got cut in half. he should have tried level flight and turned around and he might have made it. pilot error.... even though the pilot error was response to mechanical error
@meamjustme ill be the first to tell ya that I laugh at all of my crashes. the other day my foam F4F wildcat took a nosedive full throttle into a tree at the farm I work at and exploded. people around me were saying "wow that sucks" and "hope you fix it" i just laughed saying that it was the coolest crash ever.... gotta take the hard times with humor in my opinion! Hope the P-38 gets in the air again!!!
I dont fly. I have some cars and a boat. Now the boat went submarining on me XD That probably killed everything inside there. It was completely gone fotr 5 seconds. And crashing an rc car is not catastrophic most of the times. But god its fun :D
@meamjustme lol, I made an emergency landing in my pond with my plane and soaked the electronics. most people told me they were ruined, but I put it in front of a fan for several hours with every thing taken out and it still works. I hope your boat still works! any tips for someone who is wanting to get started into nitro cars?
@hambone307 I havent got time to check it out. I think it still works. Only the reciever was actually wet along with the batteries. The ESC is high and dry. And i dont have any tips. I am all electric.
All these monday night quarterbacks... Hey it happens to the best. Even real planes with real pilots. Flying twins is risky especially if not electric, more power to you! I hope you still enjoy the hobby- Brandon
Maybe this has been answered. But why not just shut the other engine completely off--they had noticed the first had died--and dead stick it to the ground? The fact that he had thrust on that engine is what did the plane in.
the P-38 can easily fly on one Allison V-1710 engine if done correctly, first the power setting on the good engine must be reduced to keep the plane flying straight, second the plane must never turn into the dead engine bc. the dead engine wing will stall and the plane will spin into the ground just like in this clip
the pilot could have saved it, even being low and slow, if he had reduced/cut power to the good engine & kept left wing up
you have to give those rc in adults and experienced pilots.. anyone would have know that he had to land NOW with no thrust.. but this guy instead allied full throttle.. with the results that we saw..
I would have kicked the pilots head in while he lay on the floor for crashing that, he looks to have a really smarmy look on his face, cheeky bastard...
The left engine on a twin engine aircraft with standard non-counter rotating engines is called the "critical engine" and loosing that left engine causes a few bad things to happen. If you have been in a twin and had a left engine quit on you its pretty crazy how much the plan will yaw left. WMU aviation grad approved comment.
That was a snap roll, caused by the inboard (dead) wing stalling during the turn. Watch the yaw to the left just before the snap, which disrupts airflow over the wing.
Man, right when that engine died started to bank his wings and pitch up, I just said stall and spin and thats what it did. Engine fails pitch DOWN for airspeed, keep wings level and work the rudder.
@crb5009 ya ,, i wondered about that ,,,put that much money in an r/c and don't give it a change to belly land ,, go figure ,, suppose this case not withstanding
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA H AH AH AH AHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAH HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAA WE WE WE WE WE WE WE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
If your reflexes are quick enough and you realise the engine has cut on a twin, you can save it by chopping the throttle quick and stopping the other engine to balance the torque effect but you have got to be quick! It happened to me on my 1/4 scale Mosquito but luckily for me I was doing a low pass and saw it stop. I cut the other engine and had no choice but to skid it in damaging the props. But it was saved from a torque roll and spin in like this model did.
How do we know that this plane is not a scale model?? It looked quite scale to me. BTW WWII scale warbirds are notorious for having high wing loading. I have a friend who crashed his Mosquito. Same thing happened to him, one engine died, and it becomes a real handful to land it intact. When one engine conks out on a twin, some pilots will kill the other engine and keep the nose forward and hope for the best.
Don't trun into a dead engine in a non-scale (weight wise) toy airplane. Think about it. It will pull the outer wing around far quicker and stall the inside.
These toys are all balse and foam anyway and nothing like the real planes.
Shame about the crash, but get a new one for $300 RTF and away you go. Turn right next time and go real light ion the rudder.
So is this what happens when you turn into a dead engine? I'm not being a smart ass, I'm just curious. I was watching a video on flying the B-26 and the narrator stressed that when flying on one engine, a pilot should never, NEVER turn into a dead engine. I'm not an aeronautical engineer so if the wing on the side of the dead engine stalls when turning in that direction, could someone please explain why?
@CaesarInVa Let's say a twin engine plane loses its left engine, the right engine continues to run propelling the plane to the left. It's controllable at higher airspeeds, but once you get too slow, the plane will not have enough control movement to compensate. If you watch the video closely you can see once he reaches the airspeed no return, the right engine, as full-scale pilots say, takes you to the scene of the crash.
@CaesarInVa thanks for telling me i did not know that .. all this time i thought it would be fine to do anything as long as both engines are not dead.
@CaesarInVa Because there is only 1 engine it is already out of balance on lift and thrust. Just to fly straight, requires considerable right turn. In this case, the right side of the plane is producing more thrust, and more lift than the left. When a plane turns left the left wing moves slower in the turn than the right. This results in even less lift on the left than the right in this already unbalanced plane. All of those forces together overwhelm the control surfaces beyond their ability.
@CaesarInVa YES!!! You're absolutely right. I am a retired pilot. The rule is - never turn to the dead engine at low speed. If necessary, put throttle at idle.
@CaesarInVa Plane's are designed to land on one engine, the energy on this one was lost as the controller pulled the plane up and turned, which caused the plane to completely slow, then spiral into a plastic mess. Most WW2 plane's spiraled on the first few seconds of engine loss i believe, unless that's just to make movies and tv programs look cool. But er... normally a plane should be able to land on 1 engine, unless your the controller of this, who pulled up... not the best idea he ever had.;]

@CaesarInVa that's called a spin, and yes pretty much you got it right...

@CaesarInVa Because there is only 1 engine it is already out of balance on lift and thrust. Just to fly straight, requires considerable right turn. In this case, the right side of the plane is producing more thrust, and more lift than the left. When a plane turns left the left wing moves slower in the turn than the right. This results in even less lift on the left than the right in this already unbalanced plane. All of those forces together overwhelm the control surfaces beyond their ability.

@CaesarInVa YES!!! You're absolutely right. I am a retired pilot. The rule is - never turn to the dead engine at low speed. If necessary, put throttle at idle.

@CaesarInVa Plane's are designed to land on one engine, the energy on this one was lost as the controller pulled the plane up and turned, which caused the plane to completely slow, then spiral into a plastic mess. Most WW2 plane's spiraled on the first few seconds of engine loss i believe, unless that's just to make movies and tv programs look cool. But er... normally a plane should be able to land on 1 engine, unless your the controller of this, who pulled up... not the best idea he ever had.;]
