RC Airplane Crash - Piper J3 Cub

"This is the story:" Maik installed, or should I say, "rubber banded" a Sony camera over his airplane and got ready for some footage. He took off, excited to record the video, and forgot to extend the radio antenna. Sometime after takeoff, the airplane went "solo", and he started to flip switches on the radio, trying to regain control, and... nothing! Then, when he realized the antenna was down, he extended it and signal started to be transmitted again. It would have been fine, if he hadn't flipped the "engine off switch", and the engine died. With no engine, airplane stalled (it was too slow flying with the wind) and dropped like a brick. Total wreck. Better luck next time!

Poor Pilot! This was caused by old technology! haha! He forgot to extend the antenna. In today's standards, 2.4 would have saved the day.

Too bad, but he didn't do anything we all haven't done. We just didn't record ours.
