The Death of an R/C B2 Bomber

When it flapped like a bat on the high speed pass! LOL!

Back in high school, I did R/C planes. I took my grandpa out once when he was visiting to show him. Being a pilot back in the day himself, he insisted on flying it. I warned him that it has nothing to do with being a pilot because your controls get reversed when it's flying toward you as opposed to when it's flying away. Of course, he can handle it he says so I gave him the controls. Long story short, my hand-built plane ended up in a high-speed full-power dive with the engine screaming until there was dead silence when it hit the ground behind a tree line. We come upon it to find it buried vertically into a very soft plowed field about 6" into the dirt. Every rib of the wings had been jammed forward out of the skin breaking the spar. And thus ended that plane.

Love how they use a Mountain Dew bottle for a fuel tank but i guess you expect that from a guy named Cleatus

I need that kit, just to have it as a model. The details on that was pretty spot on.
