Starting this thread for all of you to share your funny moments on the field. i can recall this funniest one,

This one actually happened on the field , he was trying to launch the funjet himself , so like a bowler , took a runup and instead of chucking the funjet he chucked the radio, while still holding the half throttled funjet in his hand, imagine with 18 MZ, if he had done that

Should have seen his expression on the face

PS
Most of us couldn't continue flying, all of us landed back to have a hearty laughter (Actually to sip a beer too)

hehehehehehehe
poor guy!

I had a funny moment when i was flying my Glidiator.
After a loop when i was flying it straight the motor flew of the plane!
it was so funny that i started laughing!
the motor just flew off like a missile from the plane, but the plane was flying straight and it kept doing that.

I've also heard of such tales but never seen it happen, someday..

Here is the funniest that i've seen:
I was flying my easystar. A fellow flyer (Ali) also launched his easystar and we were both flying at almost the same height but very far apart. Now Ali gave his radio to his friend to land his plane. The transition was smooth and Ali’s friend had the control now. After five minutes I see their plane diving from the sky, I started shouting “pull up – pull up” but the plane disappeared in the horizon. I shouted “what happened, whose plane was it”, while bring my plane in for a quick landing. Three or four flyers surrounded me asking about what was happening I took a quick look at Ali and friend, and they seemed happy and enjoying their flight. For a moment I thought was it my plane that crashed. So I dived my plane a little and when flared for touch down I heard Ali telling his friend “give a slight left, yes now flayer”. At the same time my plane landed in front of them, I walked a few step and picked it up. They were looking at me smiling; I told them that “this is my plane your plane crashed two minutes ago”.  It took them some time to realize what had happened just now.
After some laughs we started a search party and the plane was found by me some 1.5 Km away. Later Ali's friend confessed that he was flying my plane all the time

i have seen that happen, not to this extent, what if you couldn't prove it was your easy ?

the most funniest things that happen with us is that we reach the field without the wings or the radio or the fuel (we only fly glow .25-.90).....

we have to travel 10-15 km to get to the field and then we realize that there are no wings...

another incident our sir was flying a control line and suddenly the engine flies off and the plane hits on its tail... the engine is found 40 mts away....

He has his mobile number written on it

Lol!! Good thread, this! I hope we get more of such anecdotes!

A fellow beginner called Bunty wanted an expert to test fly his "applebox"(glow) for him, and 1 of us was more than happy to do so.
Bunty did the honor of launching it himself, but instead of throwing it straight..he launched it straight up, almost!!
The plane climbed some 20 feet,stalled, banked left, made a U-turn and headed straight for the pilot & the crowd(other flyers) standing nearby ! All scramblled for their dear lives..some even threw themselves on the ground to escape getting hurt..still the plane managed to scrape a few... one of them even had his pants torn on the rear  It happened in a matter of seconds!
After the dust settled, found the applebox in pieces but everybody had a great laugh over the whole incident.

All this happened behind my back as i was busy flying my plane at a safe distance.
 But When i heard the commotion behind...i didnt know what to do...where to run..as
i had absolutely no clue where or who the "runaway" plane was heading for!! All i could do was pray
After landing my plane with shivering hands, i came to know what had actually happened, just couldnt stop laughing.. but when i told everybody what i went through when all this was happening...everyone was rolling on the ground laughing
 like mad !!

finally it come true 

the person in question is supposedly kinda self professed guru and all, amongst the young budding modellors, that was the end of guru giri

Vector...something like this?(turn on the sound)

LMAO

LOL

Hi Anirudh,

That's what exactly happened , except we were sitting in front of a car and samant would be the blonde haired guy..lol..

It was a scary experience. The blades tore his jeans and the back part of the car got scratched.

 

One more funny thing happened some months back.

Samant was flying ani's easy star and there was one more chap who had got a new dx6i. He saw his dx6i in samant's hand , which he presumed was his and he snatched from samant's hand and said "Give me back my tx". Samant was like what the hell ? What are you doing am flying right now...lol..

hahaha..and then prady came and told him your dx6i is with me .. we were all so startled by his behavior fortunately easy * was too high in the sky..  

Atul Bhai,
Why dont you share some of your own personal experiences ? There is never a dull moment when you are flying .

Mohan

Once I was flying my walkera cb 180q rather close to the ground at our compound. A dog was running about on the street meanwhile; the sound must have caught his attention. He came frolicking onto our yard and towards the heli with great interest(eyes were focussed, body poised, tongue hanging out and dripping ) as if it's a bird that he would have for breakfast. I realised it could end up in trouble, gave the heli a bit of throttle, raised it in the air high enough so he couldn't grab it in a jump and then gave forward elevator and took the heli towards the dog. The dog jumped back scared, gave a whine and ran back with his tail and ears drooping down. I successfully had a debut of my heli as a bird of prey even for a while..

It was a hilarious sight to say the least  

LOL scaring animals with RC's.

Welcome to label me "serious" , "old" or whatever but I really think that was NOT funny. Could have turned out ugly.

Haha wow these are really funny Awesome topic

ya man...now i laugh even more when i think about it everytime...mom feels aeromodelling has made her son loose it completely

I know a person who had his entire address/phone#  written on a slowstick  !
Imagine if it crashes in some unfriendly neighbourhood.....what will be the consequences !

Offer a reasonable reward, and make it explicit on the paper with the contact information

I've finally decided to release this secret video.
This is about some very talented aeromodelers crossing the line.
Please watch the full video.

Was everyone deaf from 0:27-0:29? > 2:36 said it all,"Arey baap re".  .Whose idea was this?

Embarrassing to say the least.

Was the motor on the Easy star providing more than 1300 gms of thrust?

  this was a collective idea. Actually we had tried dropping everything from the easystar. Paper planes, rocks, twigs, soft drink bottles. So we thought lets go ahead and follow our dreams 

Ouch!
Did either of the planes get damaged?

The bottom one had some damage to the rudder but was reparable

It was so "crazy" that I showed it to my dad.

Yes, spread the word, make us proud

lol..Did you see krishna jump in the end..

This could have worked if you guys would have made some arrangement to throttle both the planes...

Man, there was no way this could have worked I think my easystar has 800 grms thrust at max. Plus what about alignment of surfaces on the bottom plane

Amit Uncle,
You are far ahead of our times.
Regards,
Mohan

Man,there is no way this can work.

Did this thought cross anyone's mind that time??!!!

The original video had people saying stuff like "this is stupid" "this cannot work" .. I edited out all that demotivating stuff

Happened yesterday, We landed our glider outside the fencing of the field. when we reached somewhere the model could be, to locate we opened power and i saw a lot of people running about, some running towards me yelling "Bomb Bomb" (It was over a small hillock) When i reached there, i see one petrified man holding a big boulder above his head about to smash the model and the other sort of yelling at him to stop (Probably saying stop you may end up bursting the bomb), all in Local Khasi lingo, some of them crawling an getting the hell outta there.. what a sight, i really did LMAO , ..later.

what a scene that must have been
I feel for the guy with rock, imagine what all must have gone through his mind

A similar incident :

http://www.rcindia.org/rc-general-topics/what-rc-activity-did-you-do-this-week/msg25624/#msg25624

Anwar Bhai, very similar, this is a laid back town, by 1500 hrs people start winding up for the day (After opening their shops at 1200 h), these were about 15-20 guys drinking local wine and playing cards in secluded spot, imagine, something falling from the sky, i am surprised nobody had a heart attack. like SLS says, best sight was petrified man with a boulder and some of them crawling outta there. on second thoughts the aeroplane does look like a glide bomb, with a twin fin looking structure and all.

Rocks in his head?

Forget the villager, think about how the model owner would have felt seeing the villager about to destroy his creation

i asked my friend to chuck the xeno ( I was a little away), didn't notice, she chucked it tail forward (Pusher tractor confusion probably).  i fixed Xeno up and she flew after that though, should have seen the confusion on my face, initially i thought the prop is reversed

that's me fixing it,

i must confess, the friend mentioned above was my wife, so, she is now training to be a RC wife, and the legendary RC wife video definitely goes here in this thread

i was flying Precision Aerobatics Bandit (Its second sortie) what realy took wind out of my sail was, one of the so called engineer, old timer was telling his friend while i was hovering the bandit, "I think there is something wrong with either the aeroplane or the pilot is not able to control the aeroplane, it is stuck , neither going up or coming down" i almost crashed of laughter and climbed from the hover, Final Verdict, "Aeroplane is ok, something wrong with the pilot, fella doesn't know how to fly" 

I personally detest an aircraft model flying 3D. Its like a wannabe Heli. However in this case, I don't need to tell you exactly where, on the 'expert' (I don't want to be anatomically precise), the Bandit should have landed!

a picture is worth a thousand words, this one thanks to sandy

If you remember "Bade Bhai Shabh' a Munshi Premchand Story! apt for this picture

I have seen couple of such guys, very meticulous, they will have very clean models, very careful in flying and...... crashing often  

here is Bade Bhai Saheb, could be converted in RC Sense, good find there by  you 

w.r.t to this post

Once i went for testing a new build Big,heavy Coro Cub plane, with my mom. As i fell very happy, with her encouraging words.
While i was flying little low, my mom pointed out a person trying to hide in the bushes.Later he came to us and said that he got scared, thought a real plane has crashed and is falling on him.

 

I wonder why did he hide in the bush , I would have ran away , less funny 

Quit Smoking Video !!

  Nice

So !! all you, so called Car guys watch out, (a) Aeroplane will bomb you out of existence (b) Radio will be operated by wives only

Deep Fried Turkey

nice one Gusty sir

This is a spoof on Pete from Banana Hobbies (remember if you pay for Bananas you will only get Bananas)

Best way (not) to start a engine   

What happens next with the" jet that goes at 100 miles per hour"?
I don't know why but I find the video very funny
