dlps73 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Looks like a Radio Controlled model to me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest High Plains Drifter Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hmmm... does look a little like a model ? While I was lookin at the clip, I seen another on a Evektor Eurostar beat-up. I don't think much of the flying, though the engine/airframe nioses were amazing - have a listen; YouTube - Evektor Eurostar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazerin Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Nah, there's no way that's a model. I fly rc helis and planes and the reaction to the control surface movements are way too smooth for a model. I know that the abrupt pitch changes may make it look like a model, but even for a model, those attitude changes are too smooth. Additionally, the aspect ratio of the aircraft and the people standing by is too big to be a model...unless it's a big UAV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syek2004 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I Think he is a bit close to the stall coming over the trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf jessup Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 If it was a model the tree it flew behind must have been a model too, I think it was the real thing, hope they got out of it ok. :hittinghead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelorus32 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Always wary about judging what's going on in a situation like this. However, key to me is the pitch instability as he comes over the trees. Suggests to me that he is at or near the stall - pitch instability being one of the things that happens near the stall. The final departure: on the face of it you could argue that it was a stall and a spin departure. However I'm not convinced about that - there is insufficient pitch down to make that a clear choice. The rotation and the inverted impact do suggest a spin departure. I end up not being sure. It seems more like he was flying very slowly and a big gust got him.
