I have seen an even more impressive RC crash video than the B52...

It was a pulse-jet powered model built by someone in the Boeing RC
club. They video taped several flights of the thing, and it screamed
around the sky at one speed with no throttle... 150mph?

In any case, on the third flight in the video, it took off and went
vertical, lost its empenage, and dove straight back down into the
asphalt. The resulting explosion sent an orange fireball into the air
that turned into a black mushroom cloud (it ran on gasoline). It was
too cool for words.

I flew RC for 15 years and that's the first RC crash I've ever seen - or
even heard of - that resulted in a fire.
