You should hear yourselves carry on. Like a bunch of gitty school girls.

Well you've taken all the best comments before I'd woken up!
:(


Good thing I only hit the snooze button.

And by the way. The plane crashes.

Oh, Jooooe :(

Now you've spoilt it for me. I wanted to wait until the end to see how 'The Plane Crash' ended.

Oh well :worried:

Easy now, you'll pop an eyeball out.
:worried:

Dave, and the rest of the RC gang will get a kick watching how the plane is flown after the pilot. "Billy Bob" jumps from the plane.

Oh, and Ian! I doesn't crash as expected. So there's that to look forward too. :agree:

There are a few things that are stated incorrectly.
Let's see if you pick them up. ;)

Cheers :)

Lets hope the remote pilot flies it better that the previous exercise with a DC6 - that one did not crash correctly!!! I think it was a fuel ignition test though...
I wonder if the remote pilots practiced using their target drones?

Before any-one comes up with any remarks I do NOT read or subscribe to this paper but it was the first one I came across showing pictures of the crash now in a real emergency situation surely no-one would even attempt this crash landing with gear down onto sand!!! :doh: Also was the aircraft flown in flat i.e. level as apposed to a slight flare to ease the impact? As I am at work when it is shownit would be interesting to hear from fellow armchair pilots whether or not the 'Crash' was made as realistic as possible!! :dunno:

Well chaps, think I owe an appology of some sorts :$ Should have read the write-up properly for it says
The jet was then slammed into the ground by remote control in a “high vertical load impact” where the plane falls short of the runway.

It hit the ground at 140mph – the speed of impact in 80% of crashes – while 24 cameras recorded the result.
So in effect it was on approach to an airport in some country surrounded by desert and undershot the runway!!! Ok, I now go and :-# :hide:

That RC setup was poop. My Champ has a range over 185ft.. the bigger stuff is 2500-3000ft :lol:

Nice to see him drop it short. I'm not the only one then :lol:
