Ik heb rc vliegtuigjes neer zien storten in het echt en die zagen er toch een stuk erger beschadigd uit als in dat filmpje.

En hoe kan een camera zo'n klap overleven?

Overigens voor een filmpje met betere kwaliteit:

An investigation has been launched into a dangerous prank in which a remote-controlled plane flew within metres of a Virgin Blue jet as it prepared to land at a busy Australian airport.
A video of the incident – in which the model plane becomes sucked into the passenger jet’s wash – was posted on YouTube on Tuesday and immediately raised concerns among the airline and Australia’s aviation watchdog about breaches of airline safety standards.
The video was made on Friday morning and shows a model plane taking off from a park next to Perth airport in Western Australia. The camera – attached to the plane – pans the skyline until suddenly the 737-800 arriving from Melbourne flies past, preparing to land on a nearby runway.
The model plane – reportedly only 100ft away - is then sucked into the jet’s wash and crashes to the ground.
Peter Gibson, spokesman for Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), said the watchdog is investigating the incident which could have had catastrophic consequences had the model plane hit the passenger jet, cracked its windshield, or become sucked into its engine.

Mr Gibson said CASA had obtained eye witness accounts from police and were investigating whether there are any breaches of safety guidelines.

“There are a number of possible breaches,” Mr Gibson told The Times.
“Obviously we’ve only got the YouTube video to go on, which may or may not even be real, but we are looking into whether the safety of the plane was breached.”
Mr Gibson said CASA safety standards do apply the operation of model aircraft, however most people who operate remote-controlled planes usually do so as members of clubs and abide by the proper regulations.
“Individuals may not do so,” he said. “But it’s just common sense that you don’t fly any little plane close to a big one. It (a model plane) is a small hunk of metal which, if it hits a large aircraft in the right way could cause some damage.”
If convicted of breaching CASA safety guidelines, whoever flew the model plane could face up to two years in prison, or fines of over £1300.
Virgin Blue – a low-cost Australian airline founded by British entrepreneur Richard Branson – said they were also investigating the incident, however nobody on board the passenger jet, including the pilot, saw the remote-controlled plane.
In January an American airline Airbus made a crash landing into New York’s Hudson River after it was hit by a flock of Canada geese.
Miraculously all 155 people on board survived.

Betekent alleen maar dat ie meegezogen is, niet dat ie in de motor terecht is gekomen .
Punt is alleen dat het levensgevaarlijk is om zo dicht bij een vliegtuig in de buurt te komen .

Op MBF is laatst een heftige discussie geweest over FPV-vliegen, dan kun je dus boven de wolken of buiten je gezichtveld vliegen terwijl je op een beeldscherm je vliegtuig volgt.
Hobby had er een mooi filmpje van.
Stel dat je dan in de turbine van een vliegtuig terecht komt, kan die crashen.........
