Eamonn Fahey Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If you've had a bad day/week/month or even year flying, don't feel too bad. Check this guy out, once I got over the initial anger towards his attitude on where, when or even how to fly, and felt sorry for his Corsair"s" I found this very entertaining to watch. Good on these sorts of people for posting stuff "ups" like this. So grab a cuppa and get ready to laugh......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john s Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 He obviously needs to move up to medium size gassers, say 50cc should be about right! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Sadly he doesn't help himself - that Pzone Corsair isn't easy to solo launch so, as Rob says, you've got to admire the persistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Muir Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I think the modern need to 'share' is slowly eliminating the word 'embarassment' from our vocabulary. Although the word 'idiot' is being used more and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn K Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Note the title - "Collection of my Best RC Plane Crashes". I hate to think what his worst ones are like. That car park was probably full before he started.. Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingman Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Is it just me but I find that so sad - I really feel sorry for the young lad - notice how he has a crash helmet on at the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Posted by Eamonn Fahey on 27/07/2012 10:16:27: Nomination for "Darwin Awards" maybe? Definitely in the running, Eamonn, but there may be hope for the lad - I see he has the sense to wear a skid lid......... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogster Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 He must have been dropped on his head when he was a baby. How else could you account for the complete lack of common sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engine Doctor Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I hope he has shares in the factory and gets GOOD discount. Definately a Darwin award .I dont know about dropped on his head ! i reckon he fell out of the Stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.Entertaining though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolstonFlyer Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Oh dear... 10/10 for looking daft on YouTube. Some people don't mind making themselves look stupid in public, just like that Romney bloke and comments about the olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Marsh Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Bit of a Numpty... Wonder if he has an "A" certificate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Racer Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Probably hasn't got any certificates, in anything! He must by now be either: a. Rich enough to keep buying replacement planes. b. Very good at repairing EPO foam. I wouldn't be surprised if he is actually an accomplished pilot, who's just crashing planes and looking like a numpty on YouTube to get some internet publicity/5 mins of fame.

Big Bandit Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Deliberate or not it's definitely a good advert for not trying to go it alone when learning to fly. A good advert for joining a club as I'm sure someone would have dropped a few hint's. Should be used by club safety reps as an example of how it shouldn't be done. Cheers, Chris.
