Something ejected. Well, there's a couple thousand up in flames.
Aww shit, those jets are really, REALLY expensive. I bet he felt like shit when it crashed.
reminds me of that rc car crash video. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyCTDsoe9d4[/media]
Oh man, that has got to suck.
The thing is, there are so many of these videos on youtube. Why would you buy one if you dont know how to use it..
Exploded into flames... that could actually be a good weapon.

It was fucking spectacular though... :/
What a shame :/ LMAO @ 1:16 and 1:31!!!!
there's 5000 dollars they'll never see again.
It went down like a big boy.
[QUOTE=xamllew;23558620]Something ejected.[/QUOTE] Maybe a cockpit camera?
I thought it would be a little Rc plane, the ones you find for 20$. Turns out it was one of those big wonkin expensive ones. That was pretty tragic, but it was also a pretty awesome crash.
the destruction was sweet.
Wait...it has an actual tiny jet engine inside of it? :aaaaa:
Sounds like they are dutch. It's pretty sad that they crashed such a expensive RC jet.

[QUOTE=Jund;23560491]Well it's not like they have an R/C jet training course or something.[/QUOTE] There is... Ever heard of the academy of model aeronautics? Apart from that, you don't really need a training course. You just need to train with other models until you can actually fly.

Unless he's an idiot who can't do proper upkeep it wasn't his fault. [editline]12:32PM[/editline] [QUOTE=xxfalconxx;23565952]there's 5000 dollars they'll never see again.[/QUOTE] More than 5000 dollars. 5000 dollars will get you a turbine and an airframe, no electronics, hydraulics, etc. Plus that crash was a total loss, nothing salvageable. :saddowns: [editline]12:35PM[/editline] [QUOTE=lorden;23569419]Wait...it has an actual tiny jet engine inside of it? :aaaaa:[/QUOTE] Not a tiny jet engine, a tiny turbine engine. They start on a mix of propane and kerosene and then run diluted kerosene for the rest of the flight, mixture depending on the model.

[QUOTE=1337;23569842]You think if you attach a few big ass L motors onto one of those things you would be able to get it to go supersonic? [editline]07:55PM[/editline] Probably not, the airframe would not be able to take the stress. It'd be the equivalent of a full size jet going the scale times faster then the speed of sound, If i am correct, which wouldn't work right at all... See, the model gets smaller, but the air, turbulence, etc all stay the same.
Was there really jet fuel in it?
Oh the wasted money!

[QUOTE=xamllew;23558620]Something ejected. Well, there's a couple thousand up in flames.[/QUOTE] nothing ejected, a piece of the wing broke off causing it to crash.
[QUOTE=dgigliello;23576886]nothing ejected, a piece of the wing broke off causing it to crash.[/QUOTE] It came from the front of the aircraft.
Holy shit I didn't even know you could get RC jets. That's awesome.
