Very easy to do though,I`ve put one in in identical circumstances,that colour sky is the worst to fly against,you get disorientated very easily...

just found this as well, look how similar they are,


Real one
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photoga...52%20Crash.mpg

Model one
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photoga...RCb52crash.wmv

Look how the model performs exactley the same as the real one, where they loose airspeed and over bank into a roll which cant be pulled out of




apprentley down to
A note regarding this awful video, provided by a former B-52 pilot: "The B-52 in a steep turn at low airspeed loses roll control, resulting in a natural over-banking tendency. The small rudder authority is unable keep the nose from dropping, nor can it pick up the lower wing. B-52s do not have conventional ailerons, but spoilers on the upper wing surface similar to the MU-2. The first flashes of light seen prior to impact is the lower wing contacting high power transmission lines in the area.")

Thats why we have the LMA(Large Model Association)These "Toys" are actually classed as light aircraft...and require a special licence to fly em,also they are inspected throughout the building of em to ensure they are put together properly........

They may look dangerous but the amount of accidents they have is a tiny percentage and generally model flying is extremely safe..
