Star Wars Yoda Parachute Drop---Near Fatality

[BHDEric]

wind sounds really heavy the plane would crash hard

[mosquitomolestoso]

good video 

[smeelokilo]

Hey dave, I'm 13 and bought a F4U corsair from nitroplanes but it was underpowered so i just took it appart lol. I know how to fly rc airplanes and i have realflight g4 and im pretty good at flying the planes, any 4-channel brushlesss powered rc airplane u would recomend for me thats durable and not a cheapy but under $160? Nice vid by the way!

[Winston51249]

Check out my video(s) on the FMS Sky Trainer. Definitely not underpowered and one heck of a good flyer and is also available at nitroplanes. Good luck and thanks for watching.

[jauchiu]

I'm not sure I have herd Dave laugh this hard before Jeff. What good friends you must be.

[Winston51249]

Great friends!.....He's one heck of a guy to be around. Thanks for the comment.

[jsmbc101]

Awesome video! 5*! I am saving up for this plane and am wondering how you release Yoda. It doesn't have the parkzone/hobbyzone X-port, does it? You and Nightflyyer rock at flying and making videos.

[bloodoctane]

You guys do some really fun stuff with the fishing and the parachute,that reminded me 7 years ago when I had this rocket which went up 700meters and then dropped down in a chute and we followed it across the fields and we lost it...but then we saw something on a truck and climped on the truck and there it was.

Gotta do something similar to my T-28 soon :) That is cool guys,love your videos from both Dave and you Jeff!

Keep on coming the good stuff!

[m43991]

I loved it great video

[Winston51249]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

[crowe73]

I'm surprised that you were able to recover it. Great video. 5*

[Winston51249]

It took a while. Where there's a will there's a way I guess. Thanks for the comment and rating.

[shortkilledlives]

have you thought of putting a hook under the plane to catch the chute when it gets close to the gound so that you dont have to retrive it

[Winston51249]

LOL. Nope, never thought of that. That'd be a good trick. Thanks for the comment.

[davidfx16gts]

He ain't gonna find it, HAHAHA! Love this video!

[Winston51249]

Luckily Yoda was found. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[SoCalsandman780]

5 stars Jeff! I thought Yoda was going to land on someone's roof! Loved the music too!

[Winston51249]

Haha...he went waaaay past anyone's roof. He ended up clear out in the middle of (what was) a bean field. I think next time I'll drop something a little heavier, with a little less wind.  Thanks for the comment.

[retiredrider]

Great video Sorry it took me so long to reply. Great job 5 stars.

Greg

[Winston51249]

Thanks Greg. Yoda was a little easier to find than the turtle was, but a little bit more effort. Not that walking through 8' high corn wasn't effort........anyway, thanks for the comment. :-)

[1979utuber]

Long live Yoda!

[Winston51249]

Haha. He survived.

Thanks for watching.

[BobDawg173]

i need to get one of those

best parachte vid ive seen

[Winston51249]

Thanks for the compliment BobDawg. The parachute costs less than $10. Options of what to attach to it are pretty much unlimited.

[henman9010]

lol that was so good

immense vid 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!!

[Winston51249]

Thank you for the kind comment, and thanks for watching. :-)

[NightFlyyer]

Fabulous and fun to watch again as the UFO flys by and past those houses. LOL. I am glad he was recovered. Good Job Jeff. 5 stars.

[Winston51249]

Thanks Dave. I'll have to find something a little heavier to drop next time.  Either that or wait until there's no wind and try again, but then when is there ever no wind around here. LOL.

[vetterman008]

The way that chute was flying I figured it would land in Wisconsin! lol!

[Winston51249]

It was headed northwest, so South Dakota would have been his next stop. LOL. A little more altitude and he might have made it. Thanks for the comment.

[Hello3427956704]

interesting... i have seen this in my local hobbyshop b4. it has ailrons,elev. and rudder. it's actually my favorate military trainer.

[Winston51249]

Mine too. It sure it a great flying airplane. Thanks for the comment.

[Skydive4ever]

Hey man, nice drop :-)

I can't wait to get my magister so I can drop my RC parachute, a couple more weeks and it should be here and ready to go.

You and Dave should be able to make a steerable parachute contraption, lol

5*

[Winston51249]

I'll be looking forward to a video in the next couple of weeks. I just recently watched a video on a steerable parachute/skydiver. I don't know if Dave or I will ever get one or attempt it, but you never know. Thanks for the comment and rating.

[eggyhed]

Cool vid guys, 5*****

[Winston51249]

Thanks!

[tjohn0176]

great editing Jeff! what are you using?

Five stars ***** John

[Winston51249]

Edited using Magix Movie Edit Pro v14 Plus.

Thanks for the comment and rating John. Always appreciated.

[sloshays]

lol Nice video! I enjoyed watching it!

[Winston51249]

Thank you very much. I enjoyed making it.

[Hello3427956704]

are the parkzone trojans difficult to fly? i have a pz slow-v and fock-wolf 190.

[Winston51249]

Not very difficult to fly, unless you are flying in heavy winds like we tend to do. If you've flown a model airplane before, I'd recommend it to anybody. It's an all around fun plane to fly. Thanks for your comment.

[startazz]

Poor little Yoda i bet he got all worried when you were not there when he came in to land bless him lol,but at least you found him in the end and i hope he don't mind jumping out of the T-28 again lol,great video Jeff and got to be 5* in my book as always.

[Winston51249]

Thanks for the comment and rating Startazz. Always nice to see a comment from you. I'm not sure if Yoda will drop again, unless I drill a hole in his butt and add some weight to him. I'm just glad to have found the parachute. He wasn't scared a bit when I found him though...the 'force' was with him. LOL

[Geminimissions]

nice effects!!!

[Winston51249]

Thank you very much. This video was edited using Magix Movie Edit Pro v14 Plus.

[azh01e]

hilarious, good show!

[Winston51249]

Thank you. And thanks for watching.

[joehandsome99]

BTW, I got something in the mail today. Wonder what it could be? Maybe a Ninja Turtle?

[Winston51249]

Cool! I'll be looking forward to a video soon.

[joehandsome99]

Great Yoda Drop. Next time go just a little bit higher. I think you can air mail it to me that way. lol...

5 Stars ~ Eric

[Winston51249]

Hahaha...very funny. It was headed northwest. I'll wait for a good southeast wind and try again. I'll let you know when that happens, then you can be on the lookout for a UFY. (Unidentified Flying Yoda)

Thanks for the comment and stars Eric!

[dangerousprimate]

i can never get over the wind where you are...is it ever calm?

[Winston51249]

Yeah, at night and early morning sometimes. I think we rank 2nd to Chicago in wind speeds. (I don't know that for sure, just guessing, but I wouldn't be surprised)

Thanks for the comment.

[dangerousprimate]

could you off the cuff just recommend a a really good starter heli....4c 5c 6c? please help i wanna fly!! peace.

[Winston51249]

I have never actually flown a model helicopter (with the exception of on a simulator) other than co-axial. (Blade CX2, Blade MCX, Blazing Star, and Esky Hunter) Co-axials are great to learn on, if that's what you are interested in.

[dangerousprimate]

thanks for the advice,happy flying.

[ronprivat]

Like a sequel to "Gone with the winds" :D

Great flight for that parashute!

[Winston51249]

LOL.

The parachute was found, so it'll have better flights in the future. (hopefully) Next time with something a little heavier in tow.

[ronprivat]

Even if it looked tempting I would speak against trying to pick it up again in the mid air as suggested in the clip :)

[revmkell]

Yoda was uninjured and (wait for it) somewhat wind blown!;-)

[Winston51249]

Haha. You got that right!

[Winston51249]

Pilot error. I didn't figure in the weight to wind ratio and misjudged by a mile. LOL

Thanks for the comment Bryan.
