Sure it takes skill to fly a turbine RC jet...but it takes even more skill and experience to be able to deal with things when they go wrong. Here Mick Burrell's Hawker Hunter suffers an engine flameout part way through its demonstration flight at the Southern Model Show. Other RC pilots would panic...

These big models have wheel-brakes, Q! [badass]

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Eric. Yes I could see, In fact it looked like he had to brake really hard to get it too stop before it actually hit him. The nose lifted quite noticeably as it came to rest. I presume the grass was good and dry. ;)
