RC jet takeoff accident (* CC in english now available!!! *)

RC jet front landing gear breaks off by hitting a molehill during takeoff.

The wind had changed direction shortly before takeoff. That explains why the Eurofighter wasn't on the runway and pointing to a different direction than the runway.

Seen in Neustadt-Glewe on July 15th, 2007.

you would think the kind of money they put out on those aircraft they could build themselfs a cement runway.

Or maybe two facing in different directions for more flexibility in reacting on wind changements like the airports do.

It's a Eurofighter not an F-16.

Oh! Thx for correction!

@MrWelsh2000 No. Ken died and Barbie was very upset

[MrWelsh2000]

Lmao, that music sucks ass!

[RobscoRC]

The music about fire in the background makes it all better

Grass fields and jets don't mix, too rough, planes can get bounced into the air before they are ready to fly.

Oops, sorry dude my bad. But thanks for clarifying it.

cement???....concrete, asphalt...not cement

[Firealchemist24]

This just shows why airports have cement runways and not just an open field.

Simple, you just don't fly. I know what I'd rather do then destroy something that has engines in them that are probably around the £1.5k (possibly more depending on thrust) each price range.

get an bush plane since jets don"t like grass so much
