adam911 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 This was a collision between a World Models 80" Mitsubishi Zero with a Fuji-Imvac 50 cc gas EI engine & a 450 size electric helicopter on 03/24/2012 at SCCMAS.org you have to be careful in RC flying events otherwise you will lose your expensive plane like this guy does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrymartin Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Full hd film of a big wad of cash being destroyed, the zero pilot not knowing or seeing a Rc Helicopter was flying right at the center of the field, and then not knowing what was around him as he made a low and close pass, anyway this is a part of game, usually there's nobody to blame for this..... link removed - Bez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyclingSalmon14 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Dude that heli cant have been worth 1/5th of what the plane was worth but still a shame to see it go down, helis are expensive but unless it was a 600+ size heli it wont have been worth more than 2grand or there abouts...

Joe Bailey Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 If that was an eighty inch plane then it hit a trex 600 n you can even see the header tank in the vid if you pause just before the strike. It's pretty much fair game at these events anyway. The plane pilots spotter should have given him plenty of warning about the Heli if he was doing his job right. Your spotter should keep you updated with a stream of info, if there any good that is. Plane pilots fault for overflying other users and not listening to his spotters of which there were several. The Heli pilot didn't have a spotter so no help could come from his end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nighstalker Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 That was a 450 size heli, and the plank pilot did call "low pass" at 1:08 so the heli guy should have moved, it is a big shame so see any plane go in because of someone else`s actions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bailey Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yes but low pass to a Heli pilot is below 3 ft The look on everyone's faces is priceless. Plane flyers are so funny when they crash. Fortunately Heli pilots get used to crashing very early on so they don't do the sad puppy look when there best model hits the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 yep, and to be honest the Zero , kamakazi was right, larger models have more rule over the flight apron. this was down to spotter error, the mistake was the " heli 3d acro 9'0clock flight apron danger.". his spotter was on his pilots right and side he could not have seen the heli untill to late. two models lost, one spotter feeling very bad, and two pilots requiring a total rebuild. you guys need to see what happens in a slope combat zone lol, wings chopped in half, parts missing etc etc, blowing props mid flight ripping out the aerilons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
