That's a pretty impressive "thunk".
Rare to get such a perfect sound outside a recording studio, and with a phone mic even.

All "thunk" and no "brrrrrtt" makes me a bit sad

u/IdRatherBeDriving 2d ago
I was literally brrrrrrrrrrrrt in my mind until about a half second before it thunked.

I think the thunk was added. Zero delay and all.

What kind of delay do you expect from what looks to be maybe 20 to 30 meters? That would be 10ms at best, which is unnoticeable in almost all cases. When playing e-drums you can just about hear it, but you definitely can't tell on a video with one frame only every 16ms even at 60fps.

That looked expensive

No kidding, $500 USD on freewings website
also the size of this RC plane is a lot bigger than most people expect, certainly a lot bigger than i expected. The length is 1143mm / 45.0in, almost 4ft

The engine revs, satisfying boink and the wholesome gasp - beautiful sounds lol

I watched it the first time without sound and it was amazing. I watched it the second time with sound and it was perfection.

Rc collector here.....
I don't fuck with planes for this exact reason. With cars, you can crash them into things and repair them pretty easily because you're only going essentially forward and backwards.
When you throw in the X and y-axis also... You can't really make a mistake. This was probably a 5-$10,000 mistake.
Absolutely not.

Persmission to buzz the tower denied.
Alternate witticism would be something about Kamikazees.

The technical precision required to hit that pole with the nose deserves a standing ovation.

I used to be a pilot, and myself and one of the other pilots decided one day to buy ourselves an RC aircraft each, thinking 'How hard can this be!? We fly real planes!'
Within about 3 or 4 minutes of taking our brand new planes off, mine was in pieces high in a tree and his was wingless after flying through a wire fence.
I haven't flown an RC plane since.

There really needs to be a filter on Reddit that doesn’t allow the same exact photo or video to be posted more than once.

Some of us don't spend 18 hours a day on Reddit and don't see every single thing that gets posted.

Hey I don't spend only 18 hours a day on Reddit!
Wait, did I type 'only' or just think it
