MIG 25 engine failure on takeoff (huge twin jet-powered RC model plane)
The world’s largest jet-powered RC model of the MIG 25 suffers an engine failure on takeoff, sending it plunging into a nearby field.
Only expert flying by 18-year-old Clinton Kraidy (and a fist-full of luck) prevented major damage to the model. In fact, after a few hours of gluing — the model was once again in the air and wowing the crowds.
This is just some of the incredible RC model flying that took place at the 2011 ANZAC international RC jet meeting in Tokoroa New Zealand in February 2011.

DYNAMIC HELI STABILIZERS & GYRO Failure!
Dynamic Stabilizers (simply put) direct the down flow of the air from the main rotor in such a way as to make the heli fly faster in forward or reverse flight, inverted or not. They really smooth out the flying and even make it go quite a bit faster in forward flight. I was skeptical at first, but Xraptor10 has a patent pending on these stabilizers for RC helicopters. ( www.youtube.com ) It could change the entire heli scene, as I see it. Second, I had an in-flight GYRO failure. One side was not returning fast enough, so I completely eliminated the gyro and plugged the Tail rotor servo directly into the receiver to check it to make sure the servo wasnt the problem. In fact, it is a failed gyro. But still wanting to take advantage of the low winds (8-12 MPH) today, I flew it without the gyro. I wonder how I ever did it with out it in the pioneering days, cause the tail is so much more sensitive. I reduced the tail rotor throw, and was able to fly the dynamic stabilizers anyway for a second flight. I am impressed. Thanks Xraptor 10. Im sure this is a winner. I put my approval stamp on it.

Tragic RC Helicopter Crash, Servo Failure Piroflip Onboard Camera Insane 3D Funny Accident Car Heli
Crash caused by a stripped gear of the rear swash plate servo at a Piroflip. No electronics impaired (only 2 servo gears and motor fan).
