Just a little more practice and he'll perfect those rooftop landings! Got the number for a dent repair guy?

Looks like you missed the arrestor cable on landing, couldn't you go around for another pass?

Did you hear the motor speed-up during the treminal dive ???...YOU'd think he'd at least reduce the throttle say back to low of off to possibly reduce the impact damage.........kw

He's one seriously good pilot if he can hit that car without even trying! I mean, he's got allll that area of ground that he could crash on, and yet he still manages to nail that small car! :p Genius! :D

is it just me or did that plane have ALOT of power? When he hit the throttle and pulled back it went STRAIGHT UP and was going pretty fast?

If this is legit (and the guy didn't have a dent in his roof from another unrelated cause) it would certainly cast doubt on the claims that this sort of model is just fine to fly around people, vehicles and structures with no chance of any damage. The dent doesn't appear dissimilar to that which might be caused by a cricket ball, golf ball or some such object.
Wonder what would it cost for a roof repair on such a vehicle?

Legit? hahaha
The pilot was RcGroups own Namniylf. The scary part was I had been hiding behind the MHV (Mobile Hangar Vehicle) durring launches and moved because of the sun.
Funny part was while eating Whataburger and watching the video he had to hear all the "Tora Tora Tora" jokes over and over and over hahah!
He just choaked and hung on the stick.
Also I'm sold on the Hobby Zone AeroBird!
I have seen that bird burn in a dozen times its just AWeSOME!
rest of the video soon....

I have a firebird II (a similer plane) those engines howl when they go 10 mph and I'm not sure but he must of had big control throws on that littlre areobird.

That was pretty good. This pilot is quite good at hitting cars!

That "whack!" is priceless. Sure would hate to get hit with that sucker.

If he did that on purpose, he could get a job guiding missiles - to pay for fixing the dent.
