Great sounding turbine jets flying at dusk at the 2008 Jet Rally. Pilot lost orientation when plane flew below horizon, rolled it over and pulled up. That's how you get a $6,000 fireball! Video guy just guessed at the cost when he said $20k, but that particular plane wasn't that much. Some RC turbine jets are however!

    Nelson is notorious for his derivation of pleasure from the misfortune of others known as schadenfreude, invariably accompanied by his trademark "Ha Ha!" laugh...HA-HA again...

  • Usually that is the ...

    Usually that is the case, AsHrAfOiMaN, but in this particular instance, there was nothing left of that plane. The fireball took care of that. They found the engine eventually, hundreds of feet from the crash site. Nothing but crumpled metal. Even the servos went in the trash they were so mangled and melted. A few kids took small debris as memorabelia from the jet they saw crash, that's it.

    I fly electric RC prop planes, and even in a total, your electronics usually survive.

  • Yeah, that's what I ...

    Yeah, that's what I thought. The guy didn't seemed upset at all. Kind of grinning. I'd have been in shock. When I asked him what his wife was going to say, he said "She'll just ask me which jet I'm building next" I realized why it didn't bother him when I saw his motor home, which was worth more than my house, and he towed a trailer loaded with more jets, including an identical one that he munched the next day. RC is like gambling - you know you're going to lose your money, and accept it.
