How many of you guys out there have crashed your favorite, most valuabe giant scale plane while 3Ding. I love to see crashes but I feel bad for the people who loose there airplanes. Just show us some pics and explain to us how you manged to crash. Sry for your losses but i bet it looked cool.

Ice - you are a sick, sick man..... besides, no crashes are ever pilot error - its always radio failure.

actually i did see one that was pilot error. a guy at one of r fun flys came on a 90degree down line at full throttle wiht his H9 extra and the tail just fluttered apart in mid air as soon as he pulled up. The guy was used to flying jets though i guess thats why he was flying like that.

I guess you didn't catch my sarcasm.... 99% of crashes ARE pilot error but 99% of those pilots blame the RADIO!

I would have to agree on that except for one guy who really shouldn't be flying his Sukhoi. Some would know what I'm talking about.

I came pretty close to crashing my DPM Edge 27% last weekend, it was fun (came close about 5 times). I really gotta fix my radio.

I was between 5-10 ft. off the deck in a hover with my 35% Extra and I ran out of gas. The radio forgot to remind me to put gas in it.

If it was a 14MZ, then it would have told him to land, or it might have filled the plane up while flying.

I was doing crazy stuff, high alpha knife edges really low, rolling harriers, flat spins pulling out low, etc. My radio needs some tweeking.
