A-10 Warthog catches fire on takeoff (huge RC model plane)
Loading...
Uploaded by xjet on Feb 21, 2011
This huge A-10 Warthog RC model plane suffered not one but two engine fires shortly after takeoff. Skillful piloting prevented a crash and a lot of fire extinguishers enabled the model to be saved but it was pretty spectacular.
There are other videos of this model flying (without the fire) on my channel.
Filmed at the 2011 ANZAC international jet meeting in Tokoroa New Zealand.

Some good piloting under pressure there.

thats some skill

I wish people would learn to use fire extinguishers properly. Don't aim at the flames! Aim at the source of the flames (point-blank if possible) to starve the fire and cool all ignition sources below ignition temperature.

The pilot must have been scared to death.

Hehe, even the fire looks like the real deal.

Excellent work! This is exemplary fire extinguishing mastery at its best. Despite what people think, the more people that rush the plane with extinguishers, the better. Fire extinguishers can sometimes be faulty, so more is good. I'm betting the pilot was very happy about the quick response of the ground team. No visible damage to the plane. : ) Good job!
