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

Easy now, you'll pop an eyeball out.
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.
There are a few things that are stated incorrectly.
Let's see if you pick them up.

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!!!
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!!

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

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

That RC setup was poop. My Champ has a range over 185ft.. the bigger stuff is 2500-3000ft
Nice to see him drop it short. I'm not the only one then
