You are right. That is why it is preferred for most flights of the really big planes like the quarter scale B-25 and third scale Corsair.

Ouch...what is the recovery time on repairing some of these?

[railnwings]

The firs two shown were sold. The P-51 was put in storage and yes, the engine was cleaned-up and was OK. The

SB2C "Helldiver" crashed later the same day, but was repaired in a few months. It later crashed again and was repaired. A Few years later it was totaled and thrown in a camp fire. The Tigercat was repaired and crashed about a month later and was sold.

Damn good landing with only one landing gear!

Nice one-wheel landing.

Bad Motors or bad Spirit..

Don't you love the comments from totally ignorant people trying to pass themselves off as experts? You can tell some of these people couldn't fly a paper plane let alone know anything about RC. I get more entertainment from the comments than the video sometimes. Although sometimes its a bit depressing...so much to say ... so little understanding.

Most of the deadsticks were good saves - the one wheel landing was outstanding.

This video is retarded

@SHADOW10621 You cant actually be assuming that every giant scale pilot crashes after a single 10 minute flight can you?? It's "RC CRASHES" Video.. What did you expect??

[Fra42below]

@SHADOW10621 you're probably stuck in the 90's. 2 metre/80 inches wingspan planes are not even considered giant scale anymore, u can get an airframe for 400 bucks or less...my SebArt su29s 140 (the best 3D plane ever) cost me 1300 euros (2000 USD) with a Mintor 37cc gas engine and i say it the best you can get. planes in this vid, are way cheaper, lol. btw to call a plane "giant scale" it'd have to be like, 100-120 inches or more wingspan., and cost around 3000 USD all included.

ciao:)

@Fra42below Are you kidding me. The crashes you just witnessed were by experienced pilots. Half of these planes crashed "Nuff Said" There isnt any plane in one of these videos for under $1000.00 do you live in Wal-mart world ?

@SHADOW10621 RCplanes,like real planes dont crash if you are a good pilot,you do all necessary pre-flight checks,and you keep the plane clean and in good condition(new servos every 100 flights)and with time,rc planes have become less expensive than they were a few years ago.you can buy one of these planes in the video for less than 500bucks(second hand)or 800new.And when they crash,you only lose the airframe,not the entire equipment that you can re use on a new plane.

[SHADOW10621]

I will never understand the giant scale mind. Investing that much ime and money for a 10 minute flight seems weird. Does anyone ever talk about how much it costs to build one of these.
