RCScaleAirplanes many thanks my friend, what a gorgeous aircraft and awesome sounding engine - pete,

RCScaleAirplanes Two lovely miniature planes indeed, a great sight. At 38 seconds, if that ignition was ``live`` and that prop kicked it would have taken his arm off!! Never move, or put your hand on, a live engine prop unless you are in the starting sequence. Even turning it the other way may cause a kickback. These are full scale sized props. Never-the-less a great vid.

WOW!!! Awesome video Pete!!!! Thanks for sharing!!

+Chad Cole Hey Chad. You in the front, me in the back cockpit...............pp

+petejulie1000 LOL...😆 I hear ya my friend. I can fly a Stearman. 👍🏼 A friend of mine has a Super Stearman with a PW 450. 👍🏼

He barely missed that cone up his butt.

+Garrett Nelson Yes!

Best moment in rc lol.

brah ket​ LOL. Wait I don't get it. Will you enlighten me.

Garrett Nelson Wondering the same brah ket​

طبيخ

thanks

perfectly fine, hes been doing it for years and is still all in one piece tenn

Alexis Marrufo poor sod

Alexis Marrufo yep,that was funny

+Alexis Marrufo I kept rewinding that part, I got a good laugh!

and a cone to the crotch

Most uncomfortable seat no question

+panther105 How do you think they used to start airplanes? They would 'think it' and it would start. Go google hand propping...

We have all been WRONG in stating that there were ANY errors in procedure here. The only person that made any mistake was the guy who fell. He was walking backwards and not looking where he was going. The bag was necessary equipment that had to be exactly where it was. It was sitting right next to a traffic cone put there to prevent exactly what happened. All of the people around the planes had specific jobs to do (none were spectators) and did them correctly and safely (again aside from the guy that fell). The Stearman pilot adjusted his engine correctly and with due care. There IS no other way to reach the carbs! Safety was properly addressed at this event and nothing in this video shows otherwise. The cone and bag were located such that a trip would NOT result in a fall into a prop which is all you can ask for! The only error was the guy walking backwards without looking while working around fast moving unprotected spinning death swords. The event planners, pilots and all but one of the assistants did their jobs perfectly.

Ryan C Wrong dumbshit. The guy at :40 has his damn arm over the front of the prop while he’s tinkering with the engine. No real world pilot would ever do that, one little glitch electrical or mechanical and that engine could start and take off his arm.

Flyboy BC Wrong. The guy at :40 could lose an arm if that engine decides it’s warm enough and he leans on the prop to give a spark plug just a little spark and a start.

@Kris Roberts I had a friend lose his life in the military when he was hit by the tail rotor of a helicopter. Not a pretty sight.

thanks joe

many thanks for your comments robert, very interesting - pete,

Thank you Pete for posting this spectacular video, I'm subbing!

thanks for subbing robert - hope you enjoy our videos, dont forget to look at our playlists for ease of categorizing different types of aircraft - pete,

Wolfreespirit Rebel?????????????

Yep, below about a 4 foot wingspan, one can fly an RC model pretty much without touching the rudder control except to steer on the ground or do knife-edge flight. I used to fly 2-foot wingspan 2-channel .049 racers with just ailerons and elevator, literally no rudder, just a fixed vertical stabilizer. At those scales, there is really no noticeable "adverse yaw effect", ailerons just make the plane roll. Roll it in the direction you want to turn, then use the elevator to climb into the turn. It starts showing up in the bigger planes, and then you have to learn to use that rudder control. Takes a while to re-learn, especially if you've had a lot of time flying RC, and those learned habits are hard to break. Fortunately, I had read Wolfgang Langewiesche's book, "Stick and Rudder", and that made it easier to know what was going on. I no longer wondered what Wolfgang was talking about. Another effect the small planes don't strongly have is the "elevator is airspeed control, throttle is altitude control". Big RC planes certainly open up new dimensions, as well as being easier to see and sound better. On the other hand, plop an RC transmitter into a full-scale pilot's hands who's never flown RC before, and I bet the learning curve is even steeper to re-learn to fly an airplane from outside the cockpit.

The guy at 1.05 had a better landing than the toy planes!

It wouldn't be a rough landing if he knew what a rudder was for, he never touched it?????

I did have my first R/C plane for 22 years, many crashes though.

LOL!! Classic!

1:05 blue shirt on the left huhuhu

It was so funny, I watched it 5 times.

He went down so gracefully, but had a hard time getting up. Also people have been killed by these props. Why in hell do these guys want such large toy planes? Just get a private pilots licence and real aircraft!

been something if he fell into the spinning propellor,,,,chop chop goes the weasle.lol

+koch i think you mean 7:51 bro

I know what you mean. some builders can build amazing planes but really don't know anything about skid and slip or making a coordinated bank turn. they just bank and yank . you can get away with that on a small model but when they get this big,... whew it could just be a matter of time before disaster.

When last one landed started to spin thought rudder shoulda been cranked over to stop spin.but ive never run a model or flown.maybe it jamed or some malfunction

No...it was actually pretty funny 😬

thanks lee

***** many thanks steve

Yep, I know a guy that stumbled into a propellor, he lived to talk about it.

Oh wow. I just read your post after posting above. YES, use the friggen rudder!

thanks W S

thanks for the advice perezc

you are right...the pilot of the Stearman looks a bit like Howard Stern...has also the same arrogant stance and habitus.(sorry, my impression could be wrong)

You could get one for $15,000 if you shopped around.

bob dyer thanks bob, poor sod went arse over head !

thanks tony

what like 95 to 100%, then you need to actually have a pilots license to fly them

7:23

Either that or go on a diet.

Tom Gray this guy did! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNaTfJaJ2srSiGQ.html

I think everyone watching this want to seat on it and take a ride.

He almost took a cone up the ass.

dooce100 thanks rich, pleased your dad is happy - pete,

Brian Lastname no kidding i dont get it....are they scared or whats the point....

They are all too heavy to board; must resort to drones.

I know. These plane are so big they're too small. They could use these in a ww1 movie though I suppose

At the point you can fly/afford a real one

@little philo What don't you get? Its called a hobby; people do it with planes, cars, boats, etc.

João Sabbadin kkkkkkjjkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

+vet68 thanks vet
