Giant RC Airliner BUILD | FLIGHT | CRASH all in 1 video

I think the best thing about this video is the presenter staying cool over the crash. No dramatics. Just a review of what happened. You can't keep a passionate Modeler like Troy down. Onto the fix and she'll fly again. Amazing build of an aircraft. Thank you for posting it.

"It's part of the hobbie" This is the kind of people that enjoy life to the fullest. Great video, thank you for sharing.

You could not have asked for a more well composed shot of the crash. Hands out in desperation (just in frame), the plane descending to it's demise and a beautiful scenic background to echo the crunch of PLA. What a fantastic production. A night to remember, haha!

Lots to admire about your video : from your design, build and fly skills to your willingness to show the whole story, despite the crash. Not to mention your fortitude and determination to rebuild and improve. Great example to us all!

I think you got the order of events of the crash wrong. The edf's and ESCs would have pulled too many amps through the wires connected to the battery. The wires wouldn't have been thick enough and so got hot enough to melt the insulation, shorting the battery. That would have caused the battery to explode and the esc to shut down. This would then have shut down the receiver, making you lose signal. Up until then, it looked like it was flying great and the plane looked pretty awesome. moral of the story: use thick wire that's rated for the current (2x 80A) and make sure your battery can have a high enough C rating to power it

The thing I love about your videos is that even when things go bad, you’re still positive. It’s a joy to watch you and your sweet wife. So grateful to you and the way in which you compose yourself. Keep up the great work. I’ll buy you a coffee.

INCREDIBLE, that crash was exactly how a huge jet niner crashed. Please crash more

Absolutely incredible. Inspiring. It was incredible watching it fly. Your attitude over the malfunction and crash was as inspiring as the build and flight. Bravo.

Great job on the design and build. There's a lot to learn from this crash. The fuselage is clearly a lot stronger than it looks in the build. Just beef up your wiring, add a separate receiver battery, provide some cooling for your ESCs and batteries, replace the plastic wheels and gear with something that can absorb the shock of take offs and landings, and version 2.0 will be much better!

The crash part is so realistic, but sadly it crashed :(. Nice Jobs though Troy!!!

Great Job! Thank you for taking us on your build and flight journey. It was fascinating and informative. Sorry that your test flight ended badly. I guess it's how aircraft test flights sometimes end up in the full scale world. Thanks again for an enjoyable ride!

Amazingly cool demeanor after a devastating crash. Loved the attitude! "Part of the hobby" doesn't usually come out of my mouth for a couple of hours and numerous cuss words later. Awesome build and fly! Neat that you already have files of the parts you need! Too bad I'm too old to learn that stuff. They make the foamies for old analg guys like me:-)

14:10 "WHOOP! WHOOP! TERRAIN! TERRAIN! WHOOP! WHOOP! PULL... UP! PULL... UP!" 😅 The beauty of 3D printing is in a few hours you have spare parts and ready to fly again! Nice project, man

Good to see it in the air and flying great!

This is the first time I have seen 3D printing being used for RC plane builds, simply amazing!

I can't believe you 3D printed this thing yourself and it flies like a bird in the sky!!! Congrats on that!! As for the crash, you found out pretty quickly what had happened, so maybe drill a few holes in the fuselage for air and it'll be fine next time. Thank you for sharing this video!!!

There are two things I fear: 1. Bears 2. "Telemetry Lost"

Very nice!

What a great work Troy. From the very beggining, in every phase, excelent !!

Stunning! I find no other words for your project. Thank you so much for sharing! Keep up the good work, don't let the crash bring you bad mood. This thing is absolutely awesome...
