12 RC Plane Crashes Lessons Learned
This is a fun video covering 12 RC plane crashes and lessons learned from these mistakes. These RC airplane crashes are all from models I build, either my own design, a Guillows RC conversion or a plane made from a kit. This is a useful RC plane crash and mishap compilation
Idea behind this video is that anytime we crash an RC model airplane we can learn from our mistakes and try not to repeat the flight. In short, RC plane fails are a fact of life for the radio control airplane pilot. But, we can learn from them
I provide a complete description of each model in the video with details of items that might have contributed to the crash. I find video of any RC airplane maiden flight most helpful in the event things go wrong.
Note also that I have video links below to the various RC airplanes described.
Enjoy and I hope you can gain some aviation knowledge from what is discussed!
