1. This is what RC is all about. The risk of destruction is a very important ingredient of the thrill and excitement, and we have all been there. I bet these guys already are far into building an even better and more beautiful plane. And money – well, depending of craftsman skills this is more a question of time spent for building. This is a pretty affordable hobby.

2. It happens. It's part of RC flying. Collision with something, usually it's the ground. 😜

3. 00:11 they committed ramstein 2 😂

4. A bit more glue

5. This is why I switched to RC Boats

6. Props to the pilot pulling up the rear who immediately turned skyward to avoid the carnage. Well done!

7. That P47 just noped right out of that debris field haha

8. P-47 be like: Fuck this

   0:16

9. Dang it I feel bad for the owners of these RC planes are like $50’000

10. The bodies were never found.

11. Ups

12. A Mid-Air Reeses commercial: You've got Corsair in my Focke-Wulf…You've got Focke-Wulf in my Corsair…

13. Well at least it looks to be about 75% back to kit form. He had a new project to build.

14. 2017 Weston Park Air Show midair collision

    Planes 1&2: unidentifiable Austrian ww2 fighters

    Time stamp: 0:13

    The planes were doing a low pass for an air show, when they were separated by about 5 feet. The pilot on the bottom, Franz Frankenhiemer, had expected the pilot above him, Stefan Wurst, to pull up. Frankenheimer pulled up too early, causing his plane to slam into Wurst’s. Both Frankenheimer and Wurst died on impact. BAV investigation discovered that the probable cause was:

    “The pilot on the bottom’s misinterpretation of the pilot above already pulling up, so he pulled up. Unbeknownst to him, the pilot above hadn’t pulled up, causing a fatal midair collision.”

    In an interview 2 days later, the pilot who pulled up and away, Benedikt Lamarr, said that “Franz either hated him secretly, or he didn’t know Stefan was there. I highly doubt that the first was the right answer. He most likely didn’t know he was there.”

15. It broke the cooling fins on the twin cylinder engine. That is a lot of money down the drain.

16. Sheize

17. i feel bad for the guys who made em

18. That poor corsair f4u rc

19. I guess the pilot from the rear didn't want to slow down? It's mostly his fault.

20. verry scale crash 😁😅

21. Luckily no one was injured

22. The owners of these planes that got destroyed must be really sad that they lost thier plane

23. A lot of Reckless flying and a lot of red flags with this scenario that would not have been allowed at most of the clubs Ive ever been a member of. As many have stated yes these things happen but in this particular circumstance of that type of flying there should be a pilot and a spotter to maintain space and distance which the Fockewulf shouldnt have been that close to the corsair. Many who watch this only see the loss of the planes but the fact is this could have been much worse resulting in personal injury to other pilots or spectators especially giving the size and speed of the planes.

24. Some salvage parts among the pile at least.

25. Nothing like watching some RC carnage while sipping on a hot cup o' Joe in the morning!

26. I've got to say, it's pretty spectacular how the third plane just flies through the debris unfazed.

27. Bad things happen ACCIDENTALLY,, thank GOD they had no fatalities

28. 🙁

29. I thought they were real planes in the thumb nail

30. that "oh dear" said it all…

31. sonderkommando elba

32. I found the way they carefully placed the broken parts in the cart ironic.

33. They do that on purpose.
