My impression was that it 'stopped flying' before it looked like it stopped
flying. I think that's what dooms many a pilot because they continue to
pull after the aircraft as already stalled but before any sort of break.

Looked like the dreaded downwind turn to this old RCer

And yes, there is no such thing as a downwind turn except as an optical
illusion that effects the pilot.

Yes sir, I have many years and hours of experience flying RC's, I was an

RC
instructor for our club also. If you look at the video it had already made

the
downwind turn and flew quite a while before the crash.

It was the dreaded downwind turn. Too low, too slow. Google foe vids.




That's a real shame. Do they know what happened?
