Spectacular RC plane crashes

I found on Youtube a bunch of spectacular R/C Model Airplane crashes. I have a few favorites i like to show to you

The first one is a fiery R/C jet plane crash, it flies at about 200mph and in one pass the servos fall out of the plane and it flies into a tree and bursts into flames.

The second one is of a jet plane crashing once again, it's called a kangaroo and it flies at about 200mph also. It crashes into the ground and then gets shredded.

This one is of a R/C B-52 crashing and then it bursts into flames, it is eerily similar to a real life B-52 crash that happened the same way back in 1994 in NC.

Whoops, RC model hits a pole.

I saw a few crashes at an RC display show once.

The one I most readily remember was a guys me-262 model, where he couldn't get the two jet engines working in sync. I'd been watching him work on this thing all day, then 10 seconds after he finally got it airborne one of the engines cuts out, the plane hits the ground, and BOOM big fireball and the model is gone.

I can't remember what scale the model was in but it was a fairly big one.

i recall reading somewhere that the same thing used to happen to the real thing as well

The "jets" use ducted fans BTW. I don't think anyone's made a turbojet that can fit into a R/C plane.

Dumb hobby, IMO. All that time and effort, all that money, on these elaborate RC planes that are sensitive as all hell to shity control input, then they hit the ground and all that work is gone in a fireball. That huge B-52 RC especially.

These are real jet engines.
