I flew RC for just over twenty years and I thought it was the greatest hobby ever. I had a dedicated workshop, an enclosed trailer to haul my stuff around in and I had acquired a few giant scale warbirds kits to keep myself busy for the next few years. As was my way each kit already had the necessary engines, landing gear, accessories and radio gear before the first two sticks were glued together....I was in heaven! Well, I was until the trap door opened in 2008, the economy tanked and I didn't know if I would have a job from one Friday to the next. I had two planes go in within a couple of weeks of one another and I started accounting for my financial loss. When I got to $3,000 and the tally wasn't even done on the first plane I knew my hobby had ended. Like so many others in the hobby, we sold our stuff for pennies on the dollar and the hobby never did recover. What a shame.

This is sad to hear. You don’t have to go that deep into it eh. Just fly some cheaper planes or helicopter. Maybe not giant scale. Keep it simple. this hobby should be fun not take over your life and finances. Hope you get to fly again.

Great model and flying skills. If you are here just to see the engine munch itself, go to ~ 5:42ish. Glad there wasn't any major structural damage and it was landed safely. Such as it was. GOOD JOB! Overnout

Nice landing. Thumbs up for the pilot👍🏼

Yes, there was no fiery explosion. Everything is relative as to what happened. The timing of the turbine failure. The speed of the aircraft. The altitude. The flight attitude of the hell. In the end, all of these amazing circumstances coupled with the ability of an amazing pilot, brought a really expensive aircraft to the ground safely and in one piece. No one was hurt, no colaterall damage. It will fly again. To an RC Aviator, that means everything. AirHammer out!!

Wow! Incredible recovery and landing, minimal damage is always a good day!!

Perfect autorotation at low altitude, what a good pilot!

nice save! reaction to this was incredible. all other r/c pilots I've seen lose it! great job

Beautiful scale helicopter flown in a scale manner, even has an inflight emergency turbine failure with a good save!

Nice autorotation. Hats off to the pilot!

Lucky.⭐ Saved the Heli 🚁

I have over 2,200 hrs flying AW139 and I have to say I think your bird is fantastic. Full size it's PC1 Cat A and does incredibly well OEI. Great job.

I'm really that big on Helicopters but this was excellent. fly and a wonderful looking model well done.

Good recovery! Hope she's flying again :)

Glad you were close to the ground, that's a lot of money there

nice save ! nice copter

Could See small puffs of smoke coming out of the exhaust occasionally in the hover. Nice save.

I definitely take my hat off for the pilot and I was clapping too after I recovered from the shock of the sudden explosion and 3sec landing. I hope to build a nerve of steel like the pilot someday. I hope the damage wasn't too bad.

OH stuck the landing🧐..🤔..that thing is very very cool 🤓👍

It doesn't look like the turbine failed, but rather something mechanical in the drive/transmission. After the POP you hear the turbine accelerate RPM (no load), and the rotor system loses torque. After the landing it sounds like a normal turbine shutdown.

+phishstyx This is also what I thought.Maybe the pto in the turbine itself. you can hear the unloaded turbine spin up but it also changes audibly as if something had opened up on the exhaust side? hmm? awesome helicopter

lol... luckily the landing was not severe or else it could be more damaging. Anyway, great flight manoeuvre!

Beautiful helicopter, great job flying it. Sorry something failed but I flew so well, impressive. Also, great job landing it after the failure. I am glad it didn't get damaged very seriously. Keep sharing videos.

Thanks For The Great Video... Thanks RC MEDIA WORLD Channel. 😃Thanks From this year 2022.

Wow that was a skilled emergency auto-rotation landing! Impressing!

That's a thing of beauty. Congrats on the save and kudos to your photographer. Hate those videos where the camera keeps losing the subject.

Damn nice save

Beautiful Helo - Lucky the turbine failed so close to ground -Thx

Get to the chopper 🤷‍♂️🤣 nice save 💪🏻💪🏻

Sounds amazing!

This owner and pilot is the luckiest pilot and RC helo owner. I doubt the helo could survive from a higher altitude. The pilot has skills! Nice evaluation phishstyx. I personally like watching pre-flight assembly, take-offs, and landings.

Das Beste aus der Situation gemacht und toll recovered - guter Pilot 👌!!

Wow awesome skill is to get it down so smooth. Luckily the maneuver you were doing at the time put you in perfect emergency landing position!

Great model excellent auto rotation as others have said thumbs up

Great Job of getting on the ground. Hope you had no damage.

Good pilot, to land like that with no fan, well done

well, not quite an auto rotation but put it down well being so close to the ground. Well done. Beautiful heli too.

Oh wow , nice save that man , right on the button . I can't even land like that on a good day ! . Very well done .

Mind explosion seeing such a beautiful helicoper. Thnx for sharing and happy flying

The cough when the fuel level drops and the engine dies. Very good landing. I hope it did not get damaged.

Und trotzdem noch gut zu Boden gebracht. Respekt!!!

Wow, glad u weren't way up there when it went bad... that's an awesome RC aircraft to have landing in pieces. Great landing:)

LOL everyone immediately knew what happened and gave a deserved applause.

Well saved was lucky the engine failed so close to a ground approach 😬👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 a bit shakey on the sticks but all in all a great flight demo 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯

AWESOME auto-rotation! Skill makes it look easy, folks!

Good save, lucky already close to ground & flying straight, looks fab in the air:-)

Not "luck" at all - pure skill. Turbine failures are very rare, and the pilot did a terrific job of getting it down without damage. Having flown R/C helis and full-sized Bell LongRanger/JetRanger helicopters, I can tell you that the real thing is much EASIER to fly than these models, even with gyros and heli-specific radios.

Thank goodness you were able to auto-rotate it successfully!

Beautiful machine 👏👏👏👏

Beautiful build.

Wow, das war knapp!! Daumen hoch für den Piloten! Natürlich auch für die guten Aufnahmen ;)

At least he got her on the ground without anymore serious damage to a really sweet chopper

Awesome landing! Great job!

Awesome《☆》Great flying Bro :*: that hockey stop 180 Rockford turn maneuver was cool. Looks like it will fly again ☻

a good spanish helicopter!!! Salvamento Maritimo!! good pilot.

word has it all passengers survived this horrible crash...thanks to the amazing pilot. he even landed with no gear!!

Great to see the pilot and crew can walk away from that, more exactly walk over and retrieve. Great flare out and recovery, only time on the sticks can make that happen! The model looks so realistic head on with the heat from the exhaust! Well done for the awesome video's

Nice Helicopter

Nice save👍

Great landing!

Great landing - well done.

great piloting...hope it was an easy repair.

EXCELLENT piloting after that turbine explosion. These are NOT TOYS by any means folks. And they take skilled pilots to fly them. I hope it was repairable considering the cost of this hobby. And i'm quite sure it will be.

Beautiful save.

VERY GOOD PILOT AND HELICÓPTER, BRASIL OK.

Nice video I enjoying watching you fly your rc chopper I'm sorry you had mechanical problems very nice job landing it safely your a very good rc pilot let's go get a big boy and go fly I'm a pilot

Nice autorotation!

Good landing. Small puff of smoke @ 4'45" .

Good pilot...Good autorotation

So much cooler than the Vertibird my Brother had in 1981.
