There is an interesting quote amongst the Radio Control Videos that you have
there....

Explaining the crash of the magnificent B-52 model, Paul Metcalf states:

quote:
With models you should throttle back on down wind lines to avoid the
airplane being over stressed, but in this case Gordon throttled back too
much and the B-52 ran out of airspeed.
:unquote

....interesting in that the visual perception (ground speed) is being
confused with AIR speed.

Having been a modeller (and still interested) I am surprised that anybody
(especially at the skill level required to pilot that B-52) would actually
believe that "... you should throttle back on downwind...to avoid....
overstress....".
