Takeoff and departure looked OK, but on the return leg of his
orbit the bank was super steep to the right, and it just tucked that
wing under and steepened...no room to pull it out. He probably could
have saved it if he had another 200 feet.

I guess an RC B-52 has to be flown "by the numbers" (1). It's
not a seat-of-the-pants pattern aircraft. Ironic.


(1) whatever the heck *those* might be. Imagine - needing a formal
test program for an RC jet.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, looking at the footage.

A shame.
