Cuban8 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Good flyers, but seemed a bit 'hairy' to me......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I wonder if the earlier collision (see bonus material at the end) had anything to do with the crash, it looked like he was holding some up in but it just went in. FPV is a bit of a misnomer as well, all the fliers were flying the models conventionally, just the Spit had two cameras on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devcon1 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Nice video, shame about the model. Looking at the comments that support the video it appears the pilot mistakenly began flying another model and after realising what was wrong ran out of time to recover. looking at the models last moments it appears to be rolling with power and had had elevator applied possibly stalling. I've been there before.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Flying like lunatics that's what you expect. Swooping down in a mob and in towards the flight line is asking for a serious incident to happen if anyone flys the wrong model or just touches another. They were lucky only moderate damage to a model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josip Vrandecic -Mes Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Long ago I dreamed of a small onboard camera , but at that time there was no technical possibility. I'm glad that today we have the conditions for such a display modellare construction and pilotag.... Gentlemans, thank you for your time and having fun.

I wonder about that, Frank. I think you could say that the view was first person even if it wasn't being piloted using it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Definitely a wing tip clash at about 14 minutes with the P47 and Spitty. Looks like he took his eyes of the the spitty and that was that. Took his eyes off it and lost it. Great shame, looked like a nice plane.
