Than you all for being BRAVE enough to fly the things you pour yourselves into!!!

That second crash was heart breaking. Its one thing to smash a foamy, that's kind of fun. But its an entirely different thing to crash a hand built bird of that size that took at least a year to build. Yes, crashing comes with flying, but its never fun when it happens to you.

The last one looks difficult to fly. It appears like the elevator is very 'touchy' as the plane got into a small pilot induced oscillation during the round-out part of the landing, before crashing. (I've seen tail heavy models fly like this.) Pausing the video, it appears the nose got too high and critical AOA was exceeded. Despite a last ditch effort to increase power, nothing was going to save it from here. Terribly brutal crash for, no doubt, a very proud owner of what was a beautiful model.

Excellent video..lots of takeoffs and landings and not a bunch flying in a circle.....tks much great video

Cool warbirds. The bombers were a wing and a pray the whole time.

Love the sound of a fuel burner as it goes by.

Mad props for those that chose a runway landing over the grass. True pilot skill.

Knowing that's model aviation would be a plus .

I remember bomber field. I went there back in 2017 and saw the very same P-63 that collided with a B-17 flying just a few years before they went down. Heartbreaking.

Loved it thanks!

That final crash was worth the wait. btw - really do NOT need the background music.

Maybe call it the "Worst Pilots Gathering"

Good job on the video!! I was under the awning when that last bomber crashed. You could feel it when it hit...

The “2nd B-17” that crashed wasn’t a B-17. It was a model of the XB-38 which had Allison V-1710 engines. Only two prototypes were built. The model was tail heavy and was landing with a crosswind. They had added 3-1/2 lbs in the nose, but even with full down trim, it still wanted to climb.

That’s serious carnage I hope I don’t crash my balsas I’m so sorry for your loss man that’s a piece of art

That Stearman is beautiful.

If you're going to crash, crash straight. When he stretched out that approach back the field and finally stalled then cartwheeled. Completely unnecessary. Guess he panicked. Not sure what happened with the second guy but, stabbing the throttle on a twin is one of the worst things you can do. Great video. Loved the camera angles. It was super cool to be at the same height when they came in for a pass.

I watched the last B-17 part a few times in sllo-mo and didn't see any stopped engines. Maybe one or more went to idle speed. Anyways it stalled and the rest is history.

Nailed that landing!

You guys fooled me again. Thinking they were the real deal😂

What power to weight ratio do small biplanes have?

I never knew B-17s flew at 600 mph :)

Wow that really hurts. And it wasn't even my airplane.

I think it was the initial burst of RPM in the flair that started the crash and definitely the second full throttle took it home. So sorry this work of art was lost. Did the wind come up before the big bombers were launched? Seems the bipes all flew and landed smoothly (a rarity) and the heavies were all over the place. Beautiful RC landing strip facility, I should say.

Wow, did he get in trouble quik. THe honda CT 70 crash vehecle was cool too.

Those crashes were heartbreaking to watch.

Very well filmed video. Really sad seeing the crash of the B17 at the end. Anyone know or talked to the pilot about what caused the loss of control? It looked like it might have been a wind gust followed by an over correction in attempting to keep alignment with the direction of the airstrip, but hard to be sure from the video. Things happen so fast with scale models that one false move when on final can easily spell disaster:( (Edit: punctuation)

I knew Milk wagon was goin down right after take off!!!!!

I was standing 5' away from the pilot of the Merlin-motored replica during the entire (maiden) flight. Required a LOT of trimming by a co-pilot, and looked to me like it was tail heavy coupled with a very steep/late landing approach. Don't know why a practice run or two for the landing wasn't done first. The co-pilot of the silver and yellow B-17 that crashed just before it took over controls in a desperate attempt to bring it home, but too late.

Looks expensive for a couple of people😥

Dang that sucks.

Second B17 crash was pilot error I'm afraid. Landing was downwind according to the earlier indication. The model was also prone to tip stalling, an initial stall to the left was corrected and caused another more catastrophic stall to the right. All 4 engines appeared to be running at time of crash. First B17 crash was also error on the part of the pilot although they made valiant attempts to save it. The problem there was poor stability under low power causing oscillations in pitch. Lack of power made a return to the field difficult to achieve because of that, and the pilot should perhaps have opted for a short landing as safely as they could rather than stretch it to the field. That's always a difficult decision though. Not offering the above as criticism, just analysis. Almost all crashes are pilot error. Been there, done that myself, got the T-shirt etc.....

That was a bad day for B-17's

Did ANYONE ever notice that American flag is protected by rifles?

CAUTION! This video features toy airplanes. There are many other channels dealing with actual warbirds.

You said that was your first birthday 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉😂😂

Some of these toy plane drivers shouldn’t be flying a kite😂

Hahahahahahahahahahaha 😂😄🤣👍👏👏👏
