A very tragic RC plane crash
Loading...
Uploaded by aviatorsbh on Dec 21, 2008
A few weeks ago my biggest RC plane, a Christen Husky, crashed while aerotowing due to some technical failure, probably caused by the reciever battery.
It was not even two years old :(
From the footage taken from the gliders cockpit I made this video also including the maiden flight.
This is the old version; now I have made a revised one with an alternative ending which is posted as a response (see link below the video screen).

The pilot of the plane died in the ditch crash when he didn't notice that his controls were glitching.
The camera man survived with non serious injuries, crashing into the same ditch.

Sabotage?

@aviatorsbh where did you get the glider
-
No! Billy! Noooooo!!!!!

If ya cant afford the crash, ya cant afford this hobby. I dont think ya loss anything valuable. High wing planes= cheaper by the dozen.
-
same sort of thing happend to me twice but only lost 1 plane due to it but sine swaping my dx6i to a hitec a9 ive never had that problem for a good year now :)

I feel your pain. Plane looks repairable but its too late now. Cool video!
-
bungee sprung due to "fly by". just climb and let go. you would never tow a car with a bungee??? plus you need to keep tension on line. glider has more lift than tow plane. keep tow plane climbing with lots of power. Yours snapped and stalled tow plane.

never bungee cord!!!!!!!!!!

A well made and fitting video to a great looking plane. Keep up the spirits and look ahead to the next adventure.

you say it was probably battery, maybe the failsafe was servers going berserk?

@MeanMeyerMan It is not common to use failsafes in RC planes because you have no use when the failsafe stops all servo movements and cuts off the throttle or so. The result would be the same. For planes it is best when the servos always respond to control, even in case of a radio disturbance, just to make them respond faster or just again after the disturbance is over.

Whats so tragic about this?

@coolsax64 This was my only crash that was not caused by myself, but some technical failure. So it was very frustrating to see a beautiful pretty young plane go down without having any influence on that.
