Nope! In Germany your plane has to pass a technical inspection of the german aviation authority if its mass is more than 25kg. Also the model plane airfield must have a special licence for heavy planes like these. There are not so many places, where you are allowed to fly these huge planes. And the laws are becoming more and more strict because of all the childish drone "pilots" who cause many accidents, when they buy a cheap crappy drone and fly without any skills or knowledge and no insurance. Model plane hobbyists, who have a very clean savety record, suffer from the drone development these days.

There's really no need to be so critical of the effort here, it takes a lot of effort to get a plane like that made and into the air and I certainly appreciate watching them, when it all goes well.

Here's what happened. Pilot didn't like the landing, came down a little too fast, so he decided to abort. He went full throttle to abort, but the middle and right engines stalled. the left engine ramped up and pulled the aircraft hard right, he was in a pickle then. He should have powered down and tried rudder left to correct and ended with a hard landing. Instead, he kept full throttle hoping to get enough airspeed to recover, he probably didn't notice only one engine was going until it was too late, he was doomed. MAYBE he could have gotten more airspeed at half throttle and been able to counter the off center thrust with rudder, but full throttle was just too much.

Jim sworthow Approach looked OK but for some reason, the pilot wanted to abort the landing and do a go around. Why? Applied power too quickly and two engines quit (flooded with fuel?). Unfortunately, the left outboard motor revved up causing asymmetrical thrust. From then on, the plane was doomed. Asymmetric power, too low. The non-powered side stalled, resulting in almost immediate crash. Probably can be repaired. More powerful motors would help. Or, was it underpowered on purpose to add realism?

I could, but who knows the ending I would have. I wasn't there so I can't say. I've had a twin engine die during a pass and had to fly her around again with only one engine and that was a maiden flight. Major pucker factor, but after base to final approach, I cut throttle and glided in until I realized I didn't have the speed to clear the bushes at the end of the runway. I wasn't about to apply throttle again educing a horrible yaw so I decided to make it a harsh landing instead. Only skipped a tooth on the starboard landing gear so no harm at all there, but broke a 3 bladed prop. No other harm was done, but I knew the engine was out ahead of time. I don't know what I would have done in this case. Maybe the same??? But I would like to think that I would have noticed sooner and powered off for a hard landing. But who knows? I may have done the same exact thing.???? I fly 3D heli's also so planes are relaxing to me no matter the plane for the most part. I have had to have extremely fast reflexes, but that mostly applies to heli's. May cross over to planes as well, but I'm humble enough to say that I might have ended up just like he did.

First, even though this is an old YT post, I feel bad for the pilot and creator of such a fine model RC plane. The detail was fantastic and in flight one would have a hard time differing it from a real plane against the clouds. The crash was tragic and while folks have argued back and forth about how it could have been save if he had done this or done that, as a pilot he was there, in the moment and having to make instantaneous flight corrections and do so from at hird person, not first person viewpoint. here is what I observed and I'll start by saying this should be a training film on VMC, stalls, and decision making, especially since no humans were hurt in the process (just a few egos). While the landing started on a good profile, it looks like the plane hit some ground effect for it flatted and slightly climbed for a moment. It looks like the pilot inputted down elevators, but now past the effect, that had the plane descending at an angle that may have caused a nose wheel hit so the pilot correct strongly with up elevator, but added right rudder, pulling it towards the crowd. At the moment he still had three engines, but for what ever reason, as the plane started the climb and turn it lost the right engine first, the middle next in the climb. That tells me he may have been so low on fuel that the two stopped running. By this point the die was cast, because one engine was not going to save this plane and had he leveled out and dropped the nose he was point right at the cars. Instead he tried to pull the nose up which caused the plane to stall and when it did, it stalled right into the dead engine on the right. One lesson learned, you can't do a missed approach in a Junkers 52 with two engines, one outboard dead. Accidents happened from a series of small events leading to the big event. If fuel killed the two engines, then if he had even 10 more seconds he may have been able to save it. If the plane had not veered to the right he might have saved it by being able to go straight ahead. Had he forced the landing it is possible the plane would have pitch poled and still broken up, but once he lost two engines the end was out of his control. I do hope he can repair the damage and once again have her flying. It is better to learn these lessons in a way that does test death directly. My hats off to his abilities to build and fly a plane, despite the outcome. What I would love is if the builders of these giant models put cams in the plane to spice up the video, 5 minutes of exterior view, plane flying does get a little old.
@walter2990

I believe that the guy controlling the aircraft may have realized that the landing was out of control, and then chose to kill the engines, so that he could reduce the possibility of prop induced injuries. He was only able to kill the right, then the center engine before it crashed. So glad that nobody was injured! Kudos to the pilot.
@bucc5062
5 жыл бұрын
@@walter2990 Okay...possible, but step through the sequence. You will see the right engine stop. that slews the aircraft more to the right even as the center prop still rotates. two or three secs later the center prop does stop and the left is still in full throttle. At this point he had the worst combination...dead engine on the outboard right wing, full power on the left outboard and no power from the center. The right turn shifted the gas away from the right engine causing it to fail. The middle failed next for a similar reason and the left continued, because fuel was still pushed into the intake. I'm not blaming the pilot per se, this is RC flying and bad things happen, but both RC and real pilots can learn from moments like this...don't fly to almost empty tanks, don't bank towards populations and when in VMC, don't stall the plane.

Avoidable Crash due to a sequence of pilot/safety pilot errors: Huge time window: for corrective action: From any time before 7:33 ~ 7:44 to fly the aircraft correctly and complete a safe landing. A great demonstration of how a model pilot and safety pilot can crash an aircraft through: 1 - Lack of flight routine preparation 2 - Lack of flight routine practice 3 - Lack of coordination/communication between pilot and a properly briefed Safety Pilot 4 - Lack of basic flying skills including: - Staying ahead of the aircraft - Controlling the flight path of the aircraft - Use of rudder - Use of elevator - Throttle management during a baulked landing manoeuvre 6 - Lack of Experience - Ability to remain calm - Fly the aircraft - Follow emergency procedures as briefed before flight - Make changes should they become necessary Opportunities to avoid the inevitable crash outcome: 1 - 7:33 Poorly executed approach: - Above profile - Airspeed high Corrective action: - Go around 2 - 7:39 Unstable into the flare: - Approach profile - Airspeed high Corrective action: - Go around 7:40 Application of power during the go around manoeuvre During go around - Gentle smooth stand the power up to stabilize - Pause - Then smoothly power up gradually Identification of engine failure: - Pilot should have recognized this - Safety pilot should have stated the failure to the pilot immediately as per pre-flight briefing Safety pilot duties - Prompting the pilot in the heat of the moment: Calmly stating: - Get the left rudder in - Keep the nose down - Fly the aircraft - Further flight path guidance as necessary 3 - 7:40 Application of rudder input up to full deflection to maintain directional control If unable to maintain directional control reduce power on remaining left engine 4 - 7:39 Lower the nose to maintain/increase airspeed - Land straight ahead avoiding people and obstacles - Power to idle during flare on landing - Coordinated rudder input during power reduction reduced to zero at flight idle Even as late as 7:44 when the power was reduced momentarily on the left engine Application of steps 3 and 4 above would have saved the aircraft. Summary: The poorly executed approach to land was able to be corrected to complete a stable landing in the remaining landing distance available A baulked landing manoeuvre was the correct decision provided sufficient fuel reserves were remaining A baulked landing manoeuvre was able to be accomplished until the pilot induced double engine failure occurred A landing could have been accomplished after pilot induced double engine failure without loss of control with corrective rudder, throttle and elevator inputs A landing could have been accomplished as late as 7:44 when the power was reduced momentarily on the left engine A responsible seasoned air show pilot has the discipline to operate safely which includes thorough preparation, and steps to mitigate risk. This video is an example where these mandatory requirements were not met. Fortunately, no one was injured. The builder/owner of the model aircraft will have ample time to reflect on a better selection of a new pilot/safety pilot with the required level of discipline and competence, after the model has been rebuilt. A review of the structural design is required where the empennage is attached aft of the wing. Clearly there is a weakness that requires improvement during the rebuild process. Application of the operational principles and procedures mentioned above will significantly reduce the possibility of a recurrence of the avoidable accident in this video.

funny at the end - crash. On Crete during WW2 the allies shot down dozens of the real one killing many paratroopers including about 5 generals. While the German took Crete they did not try such a costly large airborne invasion for the rest of the war. Other allied parachute invasions were for the most part failures too. The massed drop of parachutist was only effective when there was air superiority.

It's called VMC (look it up) BTW, I have some cockpit time in a real Ju52, They were restoring one for the Commemorative Air Force and needed to move it from Fort Collins, Colorado to Midland, Texas to be painted. Four of us agreed to buy the fuel for the flight in trade for getting to fly it on the trip. I was the last one flying and the regular pilot let me land it, just like a great big Piper Cub.

Engines make some nice noises and generate lightweight power but multi engine projects are a lot safer with electric motors. This beautiful model was flying way over scale speed and was a bit on the heavy side. The JU-52 wing has a lot of taper so a tip stall was expected when yanked up at low power. Electric power wouldn't have fixed this problem. When things get crazy low to the ground, close the throttles and try to level out. This could have easily snapped the other direction after recovering from the first snap. The floating ailerons are a bit of an unknown in slipping stalls. Powering out of trouble ups the risk factor dramatically.

We "panic" or don't have the time to react when all of this happens in mere seconds. Myself personally...I think the guy is a genius for building this and clearly has some advanced pilot skills. A lot of comments seem to assume that he has flown very little and no one would build something like that to just crash it as a newbie in the hobby. I'm sure he has beat himself up enough already so none of us need to do it for him. I hope its fixed and flying again!!

Nah, the mistake is obvious, when he flares at 7:38 pause and notice the huge control deflection. He dumb-thumbed big time, first rule of flying scale is small smooth inputs. Why do you feel the need to defend him anyway? "clearly has some advanced pilot skills" really? You watched him make a few circuits and horribly botch a landing and you're just jumping to the conclusion that he's excellent at the sticks? There are builders out there who can build amazing stuff but can't fly for crap (seen it) and guys with gigantic pocketbooks and who put $10,000 turbine jets into the ground because they're not ready for it. It's a shame he lost the big model but it's part of the hobby, if you build or buy something you aren't ready for you'll crash it, so take it slow.

Definitly a pilots error: In case of asymmetric thrust: Nose down, gain speed no full power to prevent yaw force. In case of engine failure in final: Idle and land suitable on glide, do not go around with less than half the thrust available. In case one engine speeds up: Idle and crank. In case of lost contol of one engine: Controlled crash into ground (runway alignment). You are not a hero to posess expensive ACFT, you are a hero to land the cheapest one well in the most desastrous condition.

Exactly. He aborted the landing tried to recover with a turning climb then stalled the wing. Understandable under the circumstances but he would have been better off leaving the throttle off and lowering the nose to land at a lower speed. The whole issue was caused by trying to land at too high a speed. But I think he aborted the landing because he had already lost alignment with the runway and did not have the airspeed to get it back.
@johannesschuster256

@@jonathanbywater2063 With 1/3 of the most possible thrust you can gain 1/3 of the max possibel take - off power with the max. momentum around the vertical axis. He was absolutely on a possible path and even if, he could have performed a nose into ground break rather than to climb out of the safety area. And even if: After attempted go around and spontanious engine failure: Idle: Nose down AND land within 30 degrees. What i often complain about is that the money makes the arrogance and that is one key factor for crashes with flying models. It is a measureable human factor.
@ibcoull

I disagree. As a former pilot, I’ve always thought that RC controls looked dangerously hyperactive. In this case one can see that a moment before touchdown, the elevators basically snap fully up, and I’m guessing that an equally abrupt throttle advancement occurred. The resulting partial engine failure, and its unsustainable angle of attack, combined with engine out yaw, combine for a classic multi-engine stall/spin accident. A lot of less than perfect flying technique is offset by the relatively high power to weight ratios enjoyed by the RC model pilot, in this instance I think more realistic (slower) control responses might have resulted in a better outcome.

Yet they enjoy building and flying so much that the risk is worthwhile. I'm no expert pilot of any measure, so I can't chime in on the hindsight wagon, but when those two engines died... That poor plane was doomed. I genuinely hope they get it rebuilt and back in the air!

The owner of the car would have been able to drive it home. Every field where there is the potential for danger or damage, there are signs stating that attending, parking, etc is solely at the owner's risk. The car driver knew or should have known that. The pilot was left with a malfunctioning aircraft at the critical moment and naturally would have been confronted with dozens of alternatives on how to rescue the situation with very little time, power or altitude to recover. I truly sympathise with the pilot. He built a remarkable aircraft, flew it expertly but was eventually confronted by too many problems with too little time to process what his actions should have been. I expect his next move would have been to build another aircraft given he got some of the most valuable learning opportunities. Good luck in the future sir!

This guy was running the engines too hot at 100% most of the time in flight and ran out of gas early killing two critical engines while on go round, he had the flaps down because he was afraid of stalling it and was trying to be safe, made lots of mistake, no rudder use, flaps down on high speed fly by, banking the wings too much without rudder use, angle of attack was off a lot, his flight path and line of flight was too short for size of model and final mistake was aborting landing because he missed his touchdown zone, tried go round and engines quit due to lack of fuel. I don't think it was his model plane, he was flying it but was not used to it or lacks experience.

@R Diaz the yaw was not the problem, at the moment in time when the pilot could have simply pulled up gently to slow the descent and prepare for the flair. he yanked up elevator, even at this time all 3 engines are running. the pilot would have been better off with a dead stick landing, when he pushed the throttle stick forward, he also gave right rudder, did you see that. I don't know if you are an R/C pilot, I am, and something inherent about these engines is when they are at idle for a while, they can load up. this means that when loaded up the engine will not be able to respond to quick throttle changes, instead they are more likely to choke and die than to rev up. this is the more likely reason for the 2 engines to flame out. I have been an R/C pilot since I was in high school, class of 75, and I'm 63 years old, what are your credentials? I would be very interested in getting a response from you. as for Barney, never watched, I was already in my twenties when it came out.

7:44 Two motors quit by surprise at the worst time (assuming it wasn't the pilot) and he has added power and left aileron desperately trying to level out and do a go-around and clear the people and cars below but it probably turned the right wing aileron into a dragging flap at that slower speed and attitude. Look how much the right aileron is hanging below the wing. Differential on ailerons ( more up and much less down throws) gives a slower speed aileron control just near the stall from my tests, but it probably wouldn't have saved this unlucky situation very much. He couldn't power off and ditch land with all that under him. Ditch or go-around it was doomed either way unfortunately. Final report analysis from the RC model NTSB armchair expert.
