MIG 25 engine failure on takeoff (huge twin jet-powered RC model plane)

The world's largest jet-powered RC model of the MIG 25 suffers an engine failure on takeoff, sending it plunging into a nearby field.

Only expert flying by 18-year-old Clinton Kraidy (and a fist-full of luck) prevented major damage to the model. In fact, after a few hours of gluing -- the model was once again in the air and wowing the crowds.

This is just some of the incredible RC model flying that took place at the 2011 ANZAC international RC jet meeting in Tokoroa New Zealand in February 2011.
