Show Me A Spit...

I'm guessing a servo got jammed! What a nightmare

whoops:)

For some reason I'm laughing.

Daddy doesn't look to happy!  ;D  ;D  ;D

NOOOO,

My R/C fantasies are being ruined as i speak

Of course a REAL aeromodeller would consider that a minor setback, and have it flying again the next day.  Someone who only buys ready built planes and doesn't know which way to hold a glue bottle might have more problems.

Looks to me like he didn't do a range check, didn't secure all parts (was that the canopy that fell off?  top hatch perhaps?) and either had the CG in the wrong place or didn't think of keeping his nose down and his airspeed up.

I think he zoomed, had the top hatch fall off, and either lost control or simply stalled the plane.  A Spitfire is not a trainer!

(Flown R/C for many years, even had a couple of designs published)

To quote the video....

"Uh - Oh"

NOpe the Right Horizontal stap "slipped off" lol..... I've seen to many RC crashes which I'm, A R/C pilot myself and I can examine crashes like these with confidence brb. I fly 25cc size RC models and really you dont want to see a model that size crash......

...the ecko of the prop as you hit in a dive twic the models exceeded speed limit then you hear a short boom of the exploding Balsa wood lol....
