Videos: RC Flying

That was an awesome video, thanks for posting it! I wonder if it would be possible to pull off those tricks flying FPV though.

And now for something completely different, well it's still flying but with no motors and with a very nice view!!

It is. With all that available sky, I didn't know what to do with it Biggrin

Seen mentioned there was a river "over there", but only when I was reviewing my on board footage I realised it was only about 10 meters off the end of the strip I was using... The line of trees didn't make the coin drop Lol

Very tragic.

I was suprised at how quick the roll rate was It looked like the pilot almost managed to get the wings level before it hit the ground. It was pretty much on edge and with little forward speed only moments before.

A horrible place for the pilots. Close to max (although de-rated) thrust for takeoff causes pitch up on the 747, but catered for with the takeoff trim setting. In this case, Even with full down elevator, the only way to lower the nose would be to reduce thrust...ok if you have altitude, but not on takeoff. With the shift in cargo as bad as it was, with no altitude or airspeed to trade, was nothing anyone could have done.

G'day KV

I'd say your on the money re freight shift aft.
I know transport aircraft usually haul arse out of these bases to get altitude and out of range from insurgent ground attack.
Wonder if the cargo attach points are up to handling regular max rate climbs after takeoff? Ie attach point fatigue induced by flight profile/ attitude?
Or they just didn't secure the load properly?

Nasty stuff!

Gday Rob,

I'd say it was human error. If they used straps to tie down the vehicles (allegedly that was the cargo), each one is at least 3G rated..possibly less than 3G if old, and considerably less if not attached though. BB.

Yep - even with those windscreen wipers going like the clappers!

This is a link in some unsolicited email I received today (perhaps others amongst us also got it) - it's good viewing, especially the two Messerschmitt 163 "Komets" at 3:48 in from the beginning Smile

Thumbs up all the way Steve!!

Could not stop watching it this morning and could not help noticing the way the pilots move their sticks - with their thumbs and forefingers - which in some way would give them more control over the aircraft. May try it on the Sim one of these days.

And OH the open spaces in Oberhausen - Say no more!!!!!
