CMPro Ventus FPV Crash

[Mrbircik]

[ReligousTruth]

Why did he stop filming? I wanted to see them crying! I didn't get to see them cry! I wanted to see him throw the remote down the hill after the plane! I've bought three RC planes. I cried after each one crashed. Each one crashed on the maiden flight too. I suck at RC planes. I'm gettin' a helicopter. You should too! Just sayin'! He should have filmed him crying!!!

[heligeorge]

It's ok you can switch the transmitter off...it won't be flying for a while now ((((

[jeanpaulocalgaro]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

vdd 2000 dolares pro lixo q merda e tbm ñ é tão massa akele aviao

[fls360]

damn dude i could have done that!

[YouTees]

Who dresses like that to go toss a plane???? Oh...I get it...he's dressed up for the plane's FUNERAL!

[YouTees]

@ 4:52, he is hitting the 'Holy God/Magic Plane Ressurection' switch...which does not seem to be doing anything!

I don't see anything here that the right size screwdriver won't fix.

[boywaimea]

good thing no one was where the plane crashed

[tupfent]

aaaaaaaaahaahhahahahahah what a noob ahahah

[elvedin555]

hahahaha it deserved it cause you totally fucked it with extra flaps and motor made it into non scale glider.. mine is hanging up it only had one flight it was so terrible worlds worst glider to fly vomit!

[ascitiesburn2001]

wtf where is the fpv of the crash!! this is misleading title!

[zero00tolerance]

he still held onto the sticks ... he looks disappointed and shocked, still couldn't believe what just happened.

[keenan645]

that looks like an awsome plane too bad it crashed

[keenan645]

that looks like an awsome plane

[HelplessMammal]

Well it could have been worse. He could have crashed on the railroad tracks and had what was left of it run over by a train.

[sharperguy]

Enemy UAV spotted.

[Stylensky]

SIlent Bob should not be flying rc planes.

[javipons22]

holy shit 2000 bucks to trash

[toddsher2112]

@javipons22 I don't know if he had that much in it. Half that or even less. But that's nothing. Search my videos for the Jet Rally crash I filmed. Watching a $7,000 jet go up in a fireball is WAY more "Holy" than this one.

[lothar2048]

@javipons22 : Generally, you just broke the plane, but most electronics stays in working conditions. In this case, i think the motor and cone are gone too. But if the ESC wasn't that close to the motor, he could have saved it too. Definatly a pilot error. when you enter into a spin with a glider, you are going to ground at 100% sure.

[diptwo]

is there anywhere ppl can get a plane like that with all the necessary equipment set up already for FPV?

[catamaranman333]

@diptwo nope...there are too many different options. Try watching "Alishanmao" channel. He just posted a 3 part video on all the gear you need for FPV. He explains it very well for beginners. Bottom line, expect to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $750-$1000USD if you are starting from scratch.

[spencermel]

way too windy.duh

[ccchackalll]

Look at his face here 4:09 and here 4:54 , nothing more to say.

[AgentK64]

Darn, it's a cute plane, too. :( I kind of want to get into R/C flying, but crashes like these scare me.

[catamaranman333]

@AgentK64 Get most of the crashing out of your system on a simulator. After that, buy a $100 foam plane that can be hot-glued back together for further crashing experiences. If you put in the work on the simulator, I doubt you will crash the real thing. Good Luck!

[socommk233]

ill tell you where you went wrong! the wing joiner is upside down!!!!!!

did no one notice the anheidral? that would make it fly like a pig!

[svenyeahthatsme]

cmon u gotta handle it that is a glider not some crazy red bull plane

[hookitbigger]

FF to 3:10 to see the action.

[MrRaphy51]

So cool!

[SUPERSPYPIG]

a beautiful plane...

[UtRadioGuy]

Good old south side of the POM! Spent a lot of time in the early 90's flying there.

[rcflight13]

Should have splashed out an extra $400 for a return-to-home autopilot! If you're going to spend that sort of money on a plane it's just common sense!

[mykings1]

type in led sleds from point fermin. thats how we fly gliders. no damn motors.

[pixeldixelshizel]

looks like a typical JR/Spektrum lock out to me...

[MrYeayeayeayeayeayea]

gliders=NO PROPELLERS!

[weeral1]

ouch. nice plane hard crash =(

[AtsoftcoT]

To much wind

[dworkma]

Ok, news flash. That wasn't a FPV video.

[thedoorsbiggestfan]

looked like the coyote hit the ground.Beep Beep

[AlesLjubljana]

Empty cells. :(

You will buy another one don´t worry.

[WPTProductions]

EAR RAPE!!!!!

[4kx]

Fail

[ctquicksilver]

looks like south side point of the mountain??

[tallguysd]

Sorry to see you lose your plane!

[bragolino1]

Bem feito, tomara que tenha quebrado tudo essa merda!

[nipponhouseplayer]

Its cheaper to watch and cheaper to talk.

[datapolo]

Pilot error whether battery/BEC or bad flying - it IS pilot error. And oh yeah its not FPV the guy is looking directly at the plane and not the screen. Video goggles are more convincing.

[toddsher2112]

No, a pilot can use the best gear in a plane, do it perfectly, and it can still fail. Even the best pilots in the world lose planes, sometimes more than most because of their over confidence. But in this case, you are right, it was builders error. He should have used a much bigger BEC or A123 to power the receiver, not a 3 amp BEC.

As for not using the FPV, no responsible pilot would actually fly the plane FPV on the maiden. He would have done that the 2nd flight after it checked out ok.

[JaleelJohanson62]

@toddsher2112 What advantages does the big FPV screen provide over video goggles? It looks rather bulky? Sucks to lose a plane this way..

[hallobaaaby]

@toddsher2112 Strange you guys talk about BEC with this glider plane, especially in such a strong wind. This plane is extremely fast, i got the same, it's called discus but is pretty similar. I really got the feeling that the plane fell to pieces (lost its integrity in some way..) due to overspeeding beyond what it could sustain.

[thebeast239]

now that's some 5000€ + investment

[theMuffinMan9999]

I'm so sorry about your crash! I hope you got all of your expensive gear out. The air frame looks like a FlyFly, only $120 out :p

Really though 3amp BEC needs to be replaced - I'm nervous with my 7amp on my Trex 600

[khajmi]

i dont know how u fly with this windy day??!!

[AV3NG3R00]

Did he modify that with a motor?!?!!

[REALDualDesertEagle]

Why such a weird landing gear?

[azezrtyuuiopqsdfghjk]

What a sissy.

And always give the battery fault hhahaahah.

[paulkazjack]

Let go of the sticks mate its crashed!

[imagicman]

@DomenicoScarlatti

Obviously, this domenicoscarlatti dude does not know what he is talking about... It's JR/Spektrum equipment, so more than likely it's the receiver going out... I've had the exact same thing happen to me with a spektrum AR7000 rx, I was flying my EP glider (Speedy) when I lost signal to the plane and the plane plummeted straight to the ground.

[xvaall]

my gess he didn't need fpv. first, he even didn't look at the monitor. second, if he did he wouldn't see much, just a blue sky through blue the plastic. third, in general it's not a good idea to have a metal shield around trasmitters antena. the last one probably added something to the crash...

[jasonm621]

IS THIS IN DRAPER UTAH? THIS LOOKS LIKE THE SAME HILL I LEARNED TO PARAGLIDE ON!

[toddsher2112]

You got it. That's the south side of the point of the mountain overlooking Lehi.

[jedoug]

Looks to be another JR/Spektrum brownout

[Lozzie74]

I lost a slope soarer on maiden when the voltage regulator overheated. Crash looked just the same. Everything was going smoothly and then suddenly it was heading almost straight down.

The only thing that concerned me in this vid was everyone being so blaze around a live electric motor. When the battery is plugged in, treat it as lethal. Trust me - I learned the hard way.

[Pellegrino80]

@DomenicoScarlatti It's very common that radio can shut down, sometimes do to defective lithium batteries, once I had a new battery in my plane and it only lasted for 10 mins when it should of lasted 40 mins. As toddsher2112 said also could be "receiver low voltage"

[samotage]

These CMPro models aren't really renowned for their high speed characteristics...  They are a nice gentle plane on a 10-12 knot day, after that they make good kindling.

That said the plane was flown competently, and looks to me to be some form of elevator fail, possibly electronic, likely mechanical, linkage or servo broke from it's mounts in the tail. One thing for sure, for an electro glider, never run a BEC! This is asking for fail.

Sam.

@samotage and slopetrash.

[hallobaaaby]

I wonder what can you see through this blue cockpit glass-i have Discus CS that is very close to this ventus and watching through the blue plastic, specially through an angle, gives a real distorted, unprecise image.

..oh well, i guess it doesn't matter for him since the plane broke...

[vbox8]

is it hand made

[lothar2048]

Not your fault buddy. This model is also know for tips stall, and i supposed this was it instead of bec cuttof... I falled down in a torch, typicall for a tip stall...

[shockflyyer3d]

well there you go

[trexinvert]

One question. Futaba or JR/Spektrum system?

[tubbellebunk]

@DomenicoScarlatti your absolutely right.

[LCPStud]

I think the pilot is one of the boat captains from deadliest catch

[thedoorsbiggestfan]

@LCPStud he looks more like Silent Bob from the movie clerks :D

[philby37]

Oh man, that was a bad crash and it hurt me to watch that, was anything still working after that smash? OSD? Camera? Anything?

[asdeaff]

I prefer to fly models closer into the slope. Some nice graceful flying can be had. I usually try and land smartish, when some hot shot starts flying a scale glider around like it`some kind of F16 because its only a matter of time before they over cook it.........Doh.

[tehblizz]

great music choice.. Frost* FTW

[toddsher2112]

There's no doubt that he was flying it fast... he likes stuff fast. But I assure you, he didn't just "lose it" as you claim. The guy flies 200mph jets, so this wasn't moving anywhere near as fast as he is comfortable flying. And the wings didn't fold or anything, he just lost connection to it.

It was simple receiver low voltage shutdown. It had 8 or 9 digital servos in it, and he was running it all on a 3 amp BEC. He needed 2-3 times as much juice going to his receiver.

[lothar2048]

@toddsher2112

Just looks like a tip stall, what can you do for it ?! This is very difficult to recover, also impossible at fast speed. I don't believe in Bec Cuttoff, even with 9 digital servos in it (Drawn is less than 3A in peak all in movements...

[aeroboy86]

@toddsher2112 Well if is such an experienced rc pilot you would have thought that he had an idea of what power this aircraft consumes, it was only in the air for a few minutes. Looks alot like pilot error to me.

[BigDuke6ixx]

@toddsher2112, why didn't the Rx go into failsafe, full up elevator, full left rudder?

[ShmeareD]

@toddsher2112 Mate don't even bother replying to these twits, anyone with half a brain could see the gliders inputs were locked in (off the air) and it was heading for the dirt, too many armchair experts.

[5c0u53]

@toddsher2112 then its pilot error for not using the right equiptment

[covercalls88]

@toddsher2112 8 or 9 digital servos would do it. I've learned, when I suffered a brown out, I was luck not to lose the slow flying plane as it had time to reconnect, to use either a 5A BEC or use a 5 cell AA battery in my larger planes. In my gliders I just use regular analog servos. It's tough to lose a nice glider like that.

[mecamoon]

@toddsher2112 you sound like u know what ur talking about, thats all i understood

[ifoxino]

uau this is very cool and after see i am very sad of it :( great movie and stuff!

[heliscat]

Plane - 0

Gravity - 1

[3maximumsoflive]

don't be nasty

[MrFlench]

Oh man that hurt ....

[avq30r31]

next time you could save all the hassle of flying and just bring rolls of $100 bills up that hill and throw them off!!

[LaceratedSkyRC]

Ouch! A glider's impression of a shovel. That shot of the pilot with his fingers still on the sticks at the end. Priceless.

[ScreggaeaficionBw]

mieda!!!!

[s9523pink]

Wow! Dust rose off that crash, brudda, I know how it feels! Lessons in this hobby are very expensive but never forgotten!

[nerius5]

Wanker

[xtreme404]

loooooool at 5:08

sorry!")

[bigednycles]

hes not even looking at the screen whats the point the plane did like 80mph to the ground wow!!

[ljsavmech]

Im sorry for your lost.

[georgitushev]

Plains are like girls -comes and does , too bad you did not have the FPV footage. next time check list, please ! Getting ready for take of with FPV gear is complex think ;)

G

[tascheri]

ouch... why fly so fast???

[legolord575]

Sweet and challenging!

[JaleelJohanson62]

You seem to not only know fags, but know them by location... Make a note of that....

[5Fiend]

I crashed my ventus due to stupid mistake related also with receiver :(

[5Fiend]

did your mother told you that you was born with a brain defect?

[z32upgrader]

That'll wipe the smile right off your face!

[thecracken9]

LMAO.  your funny man.....

[idontlikemakingnames]

out of range

[foxprogt]

aww man that thing was flying nice too :(

[TheAviation2009]

what happen? why this glider CMPro Ventus FPV Crash could crash...

[fabiodvmaker]

For FPV it's very fast model,anwy too far,too high, fly more close and try all type

fo flight that you know and see the response,before to get far, i'm tried almost 10times before feel in security.....

be in safe!

go head!

[RocketFireTV]

Sadly I've seen it before... Hamster terrorist.

They must be stopped!

[JackerNo2]

Its quite clear what happened there, i saw a lead come off a servo!

[LittleRedPoint]

Turbulence and panic

[hernanolivier]

with your modification is a new airplane loool

[ScabbyNubtail]

$5,000 in electronics and $100 plane! LOL!!

[shockflyyer3d]

PULL UP

RADIO HIT

DAM

[PHAJH]

Build all this equipment in the plane, pack it with 8 digital servo's and expect a 3A BEC to take care of them...you're kidding right?

Was there nobody around who had a feeling this might not have been a good idea?

I feel very sorry for your loss though, even more as it could have been avoided.

Very graceful while it lasted. Nice colourscheme!

[BloomingtonFPV]

There is a haunting beauty in watching its graceful flight knowing that it is doomed...

Truly tragic. My heart goes out to you.

[chrisfev01]

Any idea why the receiver shut down?

[toddsher2112]

If you read the obituary at the end, it explains what happened.

[chrisfev01]

Sorry, but I couldn't read the obituary at the end - it's not legible on my screen, even in HD

[x7cj87]

Wow, that looked bad... Nice plane though, well before the crash anyway...

[Joyvel]

ho man!!!! come on! why it happends?

[rcAllDayLong]

ouch, sorry for the loss! was that a battery problem was a receiver problem...maybe specktrum issue
