Mid air crash video!
Is there anything better than a good mid air video? I don't think so and this one is good and bloody. I don't want anyone to crash but, if they are gonna do it, I want to see it.

RE: Mid air crash video!
my first was a really bad one. Meby not quite as bad as that but nearly for my plane. There were about 5 of us in the air, me with a limbo dancer, a puperteer and a few outhers. The clubs rules are that if a horse comes up the path wee fly high and throttle down. So as a guy shouts "HORSES!!!!!" i pull vertical sharply and whack open the throttle. I went up quite rapidly as my plane was very ligh with a powerfull engine. As i shot up i saw my mates puperteer. thinking i would hit it i quickly pushed full down strait into the put puts tail! I shaterd into hundreds of shreds of balsa and covering flying all over. My engine shot off the outher way and quickly whaked th esolid august ground and the UC fell to the ground. the put put fell 'graicfully' to the ground with a soft thud! Close examination found th eput puts tail being held on by it snakes and a slight cut in the wing. My limbo dancer however i found the front of the Fuz (infront of the LE) stuck on the ground cracked beyond belief and the prop hub with no blades attached to a bent crank shaft. I never found the wing as it was smashed into so many parts.
This was my first crash (touch wood) was a total write off for all but a reciever and the switch which i got serviced. comming to think of it it was a laugh.

RE: Mid air crash video!
hey,
i bet ya 100000000000 dollars you won't beleive someone tried this, but when i went to a fun fly with my uncle, (he fly's not me) I saw one of his flyin buddies put his 4x4 he just put a riser kit on out in the field, i was only like 8, so that was 5 yeasr ago, and i thought he was really crazy, but he put the gear on his plane, i was small so i don't remember what kind exactly but it had a low wing, he put gear really high and tried to get it to be a low plane, but that riser kit cost about 3,000 bucks and then he was coming in for the first attempt to go UNDER the truck, PERFECT shaves grass but cleared truck, then the next attempt, he was gonna do it INVERTED NO LUCK
smashed into the door panel causing 500 dollars in dent removal and a 3000 dollar plane someone filmed it but i didn't know who it was so i couldn't get video,
so sad and yet so funny
