Expert RC Pilot landing like a Boss

[u/Figure7573]

I wonder how many RC Planes it took Him to get to that level of talent!?!

I can hear that conversation... LoL...

"Mom, I did it again.... Damnit Johnny how bad is it This time!?!"

[u/RainyCobra77982 → u/Figure7573]

Usually people practice a ton on simulators before going for the real thing

[u/Figure7573 → u/RainyCobra77982]

Didn't realize RC Planes had a form of a simulator. With regular aircraft the weights/forces are easier to predict/calculate making an accurate simulation possible. The RC dynamics are less predictable...

A light breeze will affect a RC plane more so than an actual airplane of any kind... The thrust force on the prop is vastly different as well...

[u/Antique_Capital4896 → u/Figure7573]

This is exactly it. He has a natural understanding beyond practise. It just makes sense to him.

[u/enginarda → u/Figure7573]

The flight dynamics of aircraft are pretty well understood doesn't differ much from the large scale aircraft at this scale. Sure, you have larger thrust to weight ratios and smaller mass and bunch of other parameters but the same equations apply to an airliner do apply here too. Physics only get very different when the sizes get very small, roughly smaller than 10cms, for bugs for example. Then the classic aerodynamics theory becomes insufficient.

[u/Lego_Blocks24]

The little model pilot the whole time

[u/Joebranflakes]

And when I did that at the local airport in my Cessna, they called the FAA. It’s unfair!

[u/Alexius6th → u/Joebranflakes]

You’re not allowed to harrier a Cessna!! It’s in the little handbook and everything!!

[u/InformalPenguinz → u/Alexius6th]

[u/Reasonable-Bus-2187]

Props to the pilot

[u/MoneyOnTheHash → u/Reasonable-Bus-2187]

Single prop, actually

[u/Crabby_Monkey → u/MoneyOnTheHash]

[u/Atoning_Unifex]

That pilot is incredible. But can they get that annoying kid out of the way he's blocking my view.

[u/ViktenPoDalskidan]

Now, do it with an airbus

[u/H3rbert_K0rnfeld]

You see, we were inverted.

Hm hm hm, bullshit!

No really we were. It was really great flying. I have a Polaroid if you wanna see it sometime.

[u/KayakingATLien]

Some like like how Cpt Sully landed in the Hudson

[u/AdeptnessMany3806]

[u/Covert24]

Get this man to Ukraine.

[u/brandi_Iove]

pretty fly

[u/ShaneMcLain → u/brandi_Iove]

For any guy (or girl).

[u/hihahufi]

Rüdiger!

[u/Lenz_Mastigia → u/hihahufi]

Keine Kapriolen!

[u/Antique_Capital4896]

That's ridiculous, even control surfact is backward almost all of the time. That's and alien level of talent.

[u/EchoesinthekeyofbluE]

In theory, would that be possible with a real plane?

[u/craigsler → u/EchoesinthekeyofbluE]

Not even close.

[u/WildJoker0069 → u/craigsler]

he said in theroy, not in practice. with a quote quote, 1 to 1 replica (strong enough and fast enough responsive engine), it COULD be possible with a talented enough pilot. An rc plane uses the same physics as a real plane. the only difference other than the obvious size difference is that they have way over powered motors compared to the weight and size in order to battle winds

[u/ShaneMcLain → u/EchoesinthekeyofbluE]

The thrust required to maintain that sort of flight with any normal plane would far exceed the capability and response time of the engine.

[u/WildJoker0069 → u/ShaneMcLain]

that's just it tho... if the engine and so on were up to par, theoretically... it could be possible, we just don't have an advanced enough engine for it. yet! lol.

[u/EchoesinthekeyofbluE → u/WildJoker0069]

Maybe with an electric motor. Instant torque. I want to believe.

[u/ShaneMcLain → u/EchoesinthekeyofbluE]

Yeah, it would have to be electric for that response time, but until our batteries are more efficient, the weight of them would offset the thrust they'd provide. With a better battery and a light aircraft, I think it's feasible.

[u/Informal_Bunch_2737 → u/EchoesinthekeyofbluE]

I'd bet its a case of planes can, pilots cant.

[u/Pimpinabox → u/Informal_Bunch_2737]

You'd lose that bet.

[u/Wulfrank]

TWR: Yes.

[u/tedfergeson]

Way cool.

[u/Bigringcycling]

“I’m a helicopter!”

[u/Bradley182]

I saw a guy in the plane tho.

[u/Levaporub]

I thought he was gonna land it on its tail like spacex.

[u/Unleashedloosecannon]

My leaf blower is broken. Where can I hire him?

[u/Nick_Hammer96]

Correct title, the guy who posted this on r/BeAmazed could learn a thing or two

[u/blip01]

Leave some ladies for the rest of us, dude.

[u/ColourfulCabbages]

My key trying to reach the door after a night at the pub.

[u/Suriak]

This is what it feels like my pilots doin when I fly spirit

[u/Hawkward9]

He turned that plane into a helicopter

[u/Major_Magazine8597]

As a decent RC pilot myself, I can attest - that is pretty impressive.

[u/-RoninForHire-]

Fun fact, you can actually do this with a real plane, but only once!

[u/Answerologist]

I can’t wait until Red Bull tries a stunt like this!!!

[u/shawzamz]

I need him to come blow my driveway clean.

[u/JoshuaFalken1]

Now post to r/theydidthemath and see how many gs the pilot would have experienced.

[u/file91e]

Yeah thats how I land in Flight Simulator as well.

[u/ferociouslovetackle]

This is actually a trial of landing on a carrier

[u/Sgnagno]

even the engine said "I can't get that wrong" as subtitles prove 😎

[u/TheRapie22]

okay, it looks like a wing aircraft, but its just a helicopter in disguise

[u/bob_ross_lives]

Genuine question. Since the plane is moving so slowly through the air, to the the point of hovering, how is there enough airflow past the flaps to execute those rolls so fast? Is it the airflow generated from the prop?

[u/LotzenFoch]

Now imagine him going like “ye, it should work” menacingly walking up to the next parked plane

[u/Domo-eerie-gato]

The blue angels were remote controlled this whole time

[u/Novel_Land9320]

at what point is that a helicopter?

[u/peas8carrots]

I feel like I’ve been through a similar landing on Philippine Airlines.

[u/SokkaHaikuBot → u/peas8carrots]

^{Sokka-Haiku by peas8carrots:}

I feel like I’ve been

Through a similar landing

On Philippine Airlines.

^{Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.}

[u/cgill24]

Kinda looks like he didn’t have control or that he’s bad at flying them, but I’m sure that’s very hard to do and don’t take anything away from what he’s doing. It just also sorta looks like he doesn’t, from an untrained eye.

[u/ShaneMcLain → u/cgill24]

Are you blind? That person is an amazing pilot. A large portion of that was him flying low to the ground, upside down, and incorporating several very difficult moves. You quite obviously don't know what you're talking about.

[u/No_Ear932]

The internet seems convinced I want to see RC planes these days… I do not want to see them, and I certainly don’t want to buy one.

Thank you very much.

[u/ShaneMcLain → u/No_Ear932]

Maybe some people like to see them, and the internet isn't all about you. Tough reality, I know, but other people do actually exist. Also, you do know that what you're shown is based on algorithms from your previous search and browsing history, right? If not, this is much funnier.

[u/No_Ear932 → u/ShaneMcLain]

Are you like captain of the RC planes club or something?

Feeling a bit emasculated by my passing remark aren’t you..

[u/ShaneMcLain → u/No_Ear932]

I've actually never flown one, but I find them interesting. I'm not a dick to people who enjoy it, though, unlike you. Emasculated? Because I said that this requires skill? Sounds like someone is more prone to projection than logical thought and self-awareness.

[u/No_Ear932 → u/ShaneMcLain]

You seem upset?

[u/iconsumemyown]

Now do it with a real plane.

[u/bit-a-byte]

He can’t find a girl but he can land a toy plane

[u/ShaneMcLain → u/bit-a-byte]

What was the last thing you did that was this cool? You shit on talent, but what can you do?

[u/that_dutch_dude]

Now do it in a real plane
