QUARTER SCALE B 25 CRASH

This video captures the final flight and crash of the 202" B 25. The left prop broke in flight, due to rubbing on the nacelle, resulting in the crash. The burned prop blade is visible in the last scene. Also,
notice how close it came to crashing when landing was attempted with an unlocked landing gear. Jeff Quesenberry's many years of experience allowed him to save it from certain disaster, only to lose it a few seconds later.

The pilot actually gave the plane to me and i'm rebuilding it. It's almost done and will fly again.

@praveen24121

You Have the wrong B-25. This one is still in storage.  Good Luck on the rebuild. Railnwings

[railnwings]

No, it did not fly again.

O.o what was the problem for the engine????

[railnwings]

@nandodemon The engine was OK. A prop threw a blade, thus the hi RPM's.

what happen to the wheel at 4:38

[railnwings]

@aerialboy55 The left gear did not lock down.

Big and beautiful, the American way... I fly small and light.

@praveen24121 THAT is good to hear. I love those large scale models, because they are not as jumpy and jerky in their motions. Also of course the effort and time invested will not be totally lost. You have my full (moral) support!

[GuyFawkes40]

OH MY GOD..! Not only did you put cheap weed wacker engines on it....You didn't even synch the ignition systems..!! You guys should be flying paper airplanes.

Left prop hit the dirt @ 4:38. Shame was a nice plane. Good luck on the next one.

[1Joeballs]

somebody start playing taps because the whole crew in that B-25 were just killed.

FF to 4:55

Why didn't the pilot let it crash land on those 2 landing attempts? It seems like it would have survived it for the most part.

Thats not quarter scale

[purplehayabusa]

Such a shame. The crash scenario is quite apparent. Let's say a twin engine plane loses its left engine, the right engine continues to run propelling the plane to the left. It's controllable at higher airspeeds, but once you get too slow, the plane will not have enough control movement to compensate. If you watch the video closely you can see once he reaches the airspeed of no return, the right engine, as full-scale pilots say, takes you to the scene of the crash.

If you use duck tape to fix it nobody will notice.
