HobbyKing Viperjet RC plane crash

The wind was blowing from the wrong direction at the wrong moment and the result was a nasty RC plane crash on launch.

Still, Barry got some exercise and seemed to have a good time.

Filmed at the SWMAC, Tokoroa, New Zealand

Its nothing to do with the wind blowing, the grass is hardly moving..

Why dont pilots just say OK I fucked up !

@mrinverted232 There was a definite cross-wind which was coming and going -- although not the only cause, it was a factor.

@Giovanniram22 You should see my fingers shake sometimes -- usually when I'm test-flying a new model or have an audience :-/

Im more of a model boat person

sure, wind is a factor, but I think your rubber is too weak for a plane of that weight. try better rubber

looks to me like the ailerons cold have been reversed..

@TheDucaro awww, that's harsh. although, barry looks surprisingly like the tramp who sometimes sits in my back garden.

@turkishflight1010 so, bananahobby=good quality? i ordered an a-10 from them and the esc caught fire in mid air, destroying it. i tested the motors and they were drawing over 40A, on a 25A esc that came stock. they make good products, but they praise their bad ones just as strongly as their good ones. you have to know your way around rc before you go to banana.

that must of sucked

[FLoHIO117]

yikes that sucks but heres my question. why not have landing gear o it and just take off on a runway????????? this could have been avoided this way.

@Xairflyer on some of those catapults if you do that it will unhook itself since the tow hook is facing the rear. Then when you went to hit the release the bungee would shoot away with no plane attached
