That is sad.
When I was flying R/C a lot there were these two guys. One would spend his time making really nice looking scale planes. The other would fly them. What was interesting is they swore by this one brand of motor. Then, they would spend literally hours getting it to run. Then they used a brand of radio that nobody else used and seemed to always have problems with it as well.
What reminded me of them was once they got their really nice scale plane flying on either take-off or landing it would suddenly roll upside down and hit the ground. They would aways blame their radio (the brand nobody else would use) saying it glitched and crash the plane. Those of us that flew our R/C planes a lot more than they did recognized it as the plane starting to stall and the pilot doing the wrong thing to recover causing it to flip and crash. A little in their defense, truly accurate small scale R/C planes do tend to stall at higher speeds than most R/C planes.
