I see non RC folks making comments about how this guy should have recovered better.......there is NO recovery possible from a severe power loss when you just had the nose straight up.........this plane would have needed 200 feet at least to come out of the stall............this low to the ground every plane that has an engine die or stutter is finished.....

Why does everything on youtube have to be a goddamned fucking music video????????????

*Shiver* Ive heard that sound too many times...It hurts to see that happen.

I usuallly have dumb thumbs:(

to all who think they can fly anything because they had an Airhog for 2sec that plane looks to be about 6ft long and about 50-60ft off the ground and factor in the fact that planes like that are only maneuverable with throttle and the fact that it was basically hovering when it lost power! And you have an unavoidable crash. so be quiet kids that machine is 6ft not 6in

what a nice plane and this crash hurt deeply i can only say it was nice to see it fly and sad to see it crash.

@SpiderPig2501 Define pilot. I have a buddy of mine who flies RC reconnaissance drones in the military and he is called a "drone pilot" by his comrades. So I disagree with you because you're wrong.

[Boredshitlessbitches]

@Vulcancruiser um, you're the freakin dimwit...you said you have to be 200 feet to recover from this...and i am saying that is bullshit. i never said wether or not you can recover from THIS event's altitude, i say you are full of shit about this plane needing to be 200 feet thing. damn, read your own freakin words. it's obvious you are just a douche-bag. and stop trying to honor yourself by making claims your were hovering 15 yrs ago. who gives a shit. doesn't mean anything to us!

I must be getting soft. I didn't enjoy seeing this airplane destroyed at all.

Hahahahahahahahaa

sounds to me the engine failure was dew to being fuel starved when going nose up, something that would have been easly avoided using a clunk on the fuel line inside the fule tank no matter what you do then the engine will always get fuel. also i hate RC models that call them selfs pilots YOUR NOT! YOUR RC Flyers, RC models, NOT PILOTS. PILOTS! are people like me who have a PPL Who fly real planes. i been building and flying models for over 32 years crashing happends but this was total avoidable

[Vulcancruiser]

The guy flying this plane is an expert pilot.......every RC guy has crashes it's just part of the territory. Part of the fun of RC is doing things and taking risks you wouldn't or couldn't do in a full size plane. This guy took a risk at a low altitude and the engine hicupped and it simply fell. There was nothing to do from this low of altitude.  Stunters that can hover come in all sizes today and lots of us hover, I was doing it 15 years ago with a smaller bird. Luckily my engine never died

@Vulcancruiser Hi there !!! to my understanding from the video I think that this plane was very nose heavy judging from the way the nose fell the moment the engine stalled and also at the begining at 0:31 to 0:36 the moment he finishes the roll and cut the engine the plane straight away losses altitude. It would be nice to have the owners input on this, because the information are not so many and from the video we have only indications .
