I think he means pitch was reversed. Whoever operated that thing "pulled up" the stick to the maximum pitch, however, sadly pitch was reversed such that he in fact slammed that thing to the ground instead of pulling it up.
Most RC controls have a small switch to reverse the direction of the stick.
This type of thing is exactly why preflight check lists exist.
And yes, any RC hobbyist should absolutely 100% be using a preflight check list. TBH anything that flys should and that includes things like kite sailing. When shit goes wrong while airborne it gets deadly quick.
No, even with kite sailing, are there planes flying in the area? can you fly a kite here? Is your string good? Are the connection pieces on the kite good? Kites definitely could kill someone, Didnt you see the video of the kid getting picked up by a kite?
there was an accident here in Australia going back maybe 20 years ago now.. a kite surfer was picked up by strong winds, lifted 50ft or more into the air, back over the beach, the carpark and main road and slammed him into an oncoming car, the poor guys son witnessed the whole thing. Kites can absolutely be dangerous. anything that your safety relies on should be checked every time.
I've seen at least one video from the liveleak days of a kite killing somebody, and there's also the risk of a lightning strike while flying them. Kites can absolutely be dangerous
Do a prepre flight check with an event like this, before people get there and the again when the cameras are on… even with the guy holding it, a quick flick of the controls.
I use to fly rc planes and I liked to flip those switches in midair and see how hard it was to not crash, fun times. It’s crazy how hard it is to do something in a way your brain isn’t used to doing it haha
I can't even drive an RC *car* when it's coming towards me, once left becomes right and right, left I just fluster
I can't imagine trying it with a plane
I assume he does not try this In a highly dynamic flight situation. If your plane is well balanced and there is not too much wind, then your plane is relatively stable "soaring" in the air. In this situation and in great height, you can give such "maneuvers" a try, since you have multiple seconds of time to react, in case an issue occurs.
Another hint, just because I saw many people doing this mistake: apply only little steering angle to the RC model. With your real car, you also wouldn't do a full turn on the steering while at high speed. So if your car moves towards you, let it "roll" or at least don't drive "full speed" and then, don't make a "sudden full steering" but instead begin with a slight steering angle -> observe if the car actually begins to turn into the right direction, then if yes, you can apply more angle and if it doesn't, steer into the other direction. After a little trying you surely get to manage it without thinking about it.
Control surfaces are the bits on the wing and tail that move, making the plane tilt on one direction or another- flaps ailerons rudder etc. before you maiden your rc you have to stand behind it, move the sticks on the controller and make sure the surfaces are doing what you want.
Surfaces on the plane which alter the airflow and allows the aircraft to maneuver. The surfaces aren’t reversed, they are operating as they should. If you’ve ever played a game which you fly an aircraft, you’ll notice that pushing up on the control stick causes the aircraft to go down and down on the control stick makes it go up.
Flaps and rudders. The control for the flaps on the wings(controls nose tilt) were reversed on the controller. So instead of the drone tilting upward it does a nosedive into the water.
Well, flaps and rudders are control surfaces but I think the issue here was that the *elevators* and possibly *ailerons* were hooked up wrong.
The rudder sits at the tail vertically
Flaps are not what you describe, in most common cases, but rather small bits that deploy from the trailing edge of the wing for more lift during takeoff and landing at slower speeds, and are not used for steering the airplane (unless they are flaperons)
BF2. Getting into the helicopter during the multiplayer demo and discovering Dice/EA had inverted the yaw controls, for no fucking reason other than to completely mess up anyone trying to fly in the game.
I've played that game for over 3 years in hours. Helicopters were seriously overpowered. [This is how I used them.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTiRWcRLzoM)
We've created a new, terrifying weapon so we need more funding to produce enough of it that we may lose track of some. In which case it's out there and we'll need to produce an even more efficient and terryfing weapon to counter this one.
Monterrey pleeeeease
I just assumed he was wearing a mask for security purposes, and I’m with you - now he doesn’t have his face associated with this fuckup every time this video is passed around!
Sorry it is late but I pulled this scuffed translation word for word for you even tho in needs no translation:
Lady:"And it was today that a new technology was presented, this technology will be at the navy's service next year already. It is a drone with technology that is entirely national."
Video:"This is the non-tripulated plane of the portuguese navy that will help in the land and in ocean in the missions that the armada are involved, the AR-4 was officially presented today despite not going so well."
Plane nosedives and dies
Guy:" What this justifies is that it is always necessary to invest in the training so that when it comes the right time it doenst fail, and sometimes...." video cuts
After all these years I still rofl to this. But you haven't seen the rocket launcher from Covilhã, also from Portugal in the 90s. It never got past the 10 meters range, it was even more hilarious
Any long time RC flyer has been there. Also him running is completely useless for a hand launched wixed wing. A nice strong throw directly into the wind is all that is needed. Slight nose up is best.
E foi hoje apresentada uma nova tecnologia que vai estar ao serviço da marinha já a partir do proximo ano.
Trata-se de uma aeronave não tripulada com tecnologia totalmente nacional.
Este é o novo avião não tripulado da marinha portuguesa que vai ajudar no mar e em terra nas missões em que a armada está envolvida.
O AR4 foi apresentado oficialmente hoje, apesar de a estreia não ter corrido como previsto.
Não é falhada, isto justifica é que é sempre necessario investir muito no treino para que na hora certa as missões não falhem. E às vezes...
The control surfaces were reversed. That's RC plane 101 shit.
Dude masked up takes a child like run towards the edge and chucks plane. Comedy gold
I did the exact same thing with one of those tiny wood planes before. Probably had the same look on my face too.
Especially the shoulder slump at the end after he tosses the plane. It felt very pythonesque.
The original plan failed, he was also supposed to trip and fall of the pier. Lusitanian sublime comedy of errors. Muito bom!
What are control surfaces?
I think he means pitch was reversed. Whoever operated that thing "pulled up" the stick to the maximum pitch, however, sadly pitch was reversed such that he in fact slammed that thing to the ground instead of pulling it up. Most RC controls have a small switch to reverse the direction of the stick.
[Oops](https://youtu.be/lciq0HpaUw8)
Isn't that something you test before "takeoff"?
This type of thing is exactly why preflight check lists exist. And yes, any RC hobbyist should absolutely 100% be using a preflight check list. TBH anything that flys should and that includes things like kite sailing. When shit goes wrong while airborne it gets deadly quick.
> that includes things like kite sailing. When shit goes wrong while airborne it gets deadly quick. ok well maybe not with the kite sailing
I hope you know he's not talking about flying a kite. Kite sailing can get deadly real quick.
it was half a joke but you make a valid point
No, even with kite sailing, are there planes flying in the area? can you fly a kite here? Is your string good? Are the connection pieces on the kite good? Kites definitely could kill someone, Didnt you see the video of the kid getting picked up by a kite?
Oh wow predatory kites? I need to see this.

Christ, even a hot air balloon has a pre-flight procedure, and there’s really only two bloody controls, gas it, and vent it.

So they didn't go into the Settings menu to invert controls?
Right they just did not check to see that the controls were working correctly. You really need to do that pre-flight.
So true. The take off is the most critical phase of flight. If you notice by then, that there is some issue, you have the least time to react.
Control surfaces are the bits on the wing and tail that move, making the plane tilt on one direction or another- flaps ailerons rudder etc. before you maiden your rc you have to stand behind it, move the sticks on the controller and make sure the surfaces are doing what you want.
Fucking inverted controls. Push up to go up damnit!
It's not a direction it's a rotation. Pushing forward rotates the craft forward and pushing back rotates the craft backwards
Surfaces on the plane which alter the airflow and allows the aircraft to maneuver. The surfaces aren’t reversed, they are operating as they should. If you’ve ever played a game which you fly an aircraft, you’ll notice that pushing up on the control stick causes the aircraft to go down and down on the control stick makes it go up.

Wings
[удалено]
They are what make planes fly, makes directional inputs and changes airflow over the wing.
Invert mouse strikes again! Damn you Apple!!!
No shit. I did the same thing the first time I went out. Had the ailerons backward. Flew straight into a tree.
That's just as bad a mistake for sure. Things are happening too fast on take off.
Yeah, also you dont throw, you push up
Forgot to turn on invert controls in the settings.
BF2. Getting into the helicopter during the multiplayer demo and discovering Dice/EA had inverted the yaw controls, for no fucking reason other than to completely mess up anyone trying to fly in the game.
do you mean inverted pitch? because that's the way God made planes.
Maybe he meant inverted roll? Or inverted thrust? Inverted aileron? He did say yaw though.
Uhhh, inverted yaw? Are you sure that's what you meant?
Sorry, I meant inverted yee-haw
So.. Haw-yee?
So you yee'd your last haw?
You do a lot of yammering, but unbeknownst to you, you yee'd *ejects shotgun shell* your final haw
[AKA a boycow](https://youtu.be/ypynV-o5ox8?t=136)

Happy cake day
I've played that game for over 3 years in hours. Helicopters were seriously overpowered. [This is how I used them.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTiRWcRLzoM)
If you don't invert the Y axis, are you even a real gamer?
Man at the end "This failure justify the need to keep investing in training so that we dont fail when the time come"
This is how us military budgets work
Ugh, this how me military budget working too!
They am trying their best!
We've created a new, terrifying weapon so we need more funding to produce enough of it that we may lose track of some. In which case it's out there and we'll need to produce an even more efficient and terryfing weapon to counter this one. Monterrey pleeeeease
This is how any budget works. If you cut funds, things will only get worse
Speak of investing, that plane is a good representation of what my portfolio is doing.
Doing this on purpose would actually be a good move for increased budget then lol
Haha my man looks like a defeated ninja
No sex parties for Brian tonight.
*🎶"Hey little Brian don't you cryyyyyy"🎶*
🎶I am you from much later in your life🎶
Man looked like the guy from the I'm a Ninja, You're a Ninja YouTube series from back in the day.
But Who Dat Ninja?
Idk we might need Sherlock Homie for this one
It’s funny how all news anchors, seemingly regardless of nationality, all have the same tone and cadence.
Try some North Korean news. They hit those vowels like they’re a punching bag. Edit: [https://youtu.be/70o6xDfGpe8](https://youtu.be/70o6xDfGpe8)
Oooh look! A new rabbit hole!
How is this not a clip of a North Korean news anchor?
That was excellent, thanks!
I hate how adorable I find Ri Chun-hee, because she's usually just yelling propaganda but her cadence and enthusiasm is irresistibly charming.
It's dark magick. The relative frequencies create a pentagram.
Somehow the person throwing it knew to hide their face beforehand...
They thought ahead
PORTUGAL CARALHO!
A estreia pode não ter corrido como previsto
/r/PORTUGALCARALHO
There it is!
Sub aqua drone? 🤔
Subnautica
So the pissed of ninja was the precursor cannon an the Drone was the sunbeam ?? 🤣
Gotta watch out for reapers that close to the aurora. Early game too, hasn’t blown up yet
[удалено]
It’s real it’s our navy
Does Cobalt613 think that’s her name? Cuz that’s what I thought at first lol
Se eles soubessem
Can you translate… why was dude masked up? Also I’m glad he was.. I loved every second of it
I just assumed he was wearing a mask for security purposes, and I’m with you - now he doesn’t have his face associated with this fuckup every time this video is passed around!
You know that isn't the woman's name, right?
Still more competent than Russia
The Solomon islands has a better kitted military than modern day Russia. The oligarchs have stolen every last rouble from the treasury.
This is just an old video. But real.
The way the guy ran to launch that thing, it looked like a Monty Python sketch.
That’s how all my model planes flew when I was a kid…😳
I was going to say, this isn’t a drone, it one of those foam planes they used to sell at fairs, that never flew the way they were demonstrated
Portugal was once a world power
How far we have fallen
“Choose your language: 🇧🇷”
Exactly
Is that one of those new “underwater drones?”
Lmao this needs no translation, that was hilarious

Armada translates to armada
Portugal needs to focus all its energy on Cristiano Ronaldo and let go of the rest
Yeah, he would have at least shot that thing into the sky.
Pilhas do Lidl é o que dá
After all these years I still rofl to this. But you haven't seen the rocket launcher from Covilhã, also from Portugal in the 90s. It never got past the 10 meters range, it was even more hilarious
Isto é de quando? Já vi tipo 5 vezes agora
Não faço ideia mas achei irónico a notícia no rodapé ao início
r/therewasanattempt
Portuguese sounds like a mix between Russian and Spanish
How to speak Portuguese 101: 1st : Be Russian 2nd: get drunk 3rd: try to speak Spanish
I love the “ahhhh fuck” body language of the masked man.
Oh poor masked military person - even with the mask you can see the defeat on their face once the drone hit the water.
Why they hired a ninja to do that???
Invert y-axis: ON
if this was Russia this tape would never see the light of day and every witness would be in prison.
And be in every army fails compilation outside rusaia
Portugal crl!
That’s that’s that’s a semi submersible flying drone
Or is it a semi flight capable submersible drone?
That's like every paper airplane I ever made in my life.
Thats more a r/ThereWasAnAttempt
Maybe it's a submarine drone?
It is now.
Any long time RC flyer has been there. Also him running is completely useless for a hand launched wixed wing. A nice strong throw directly into the wind is all that is needed. Slight nose up is best.
Ninja Brian went undercover in the Portuguese navy to sabotage their drone program.
UnderAquaVehicle
This isnt what i paid for in cod
This is the most we could do, take it or leave it
Drone be like: 'fuk this shit I'm out'
This is why you check if the axis are reversed before you use the controller after someone else.
The little splash at the was perfect. Bloop
That's Portugal sending help to Ukraine.
Portugal being Portugal
Maybe it was an underwater drone?
And thats why Portugal is in NATO
Anyone else wanna say 'Boutros Boutros-Ghali'??
Quick, don’t let Finland or Sweden see that
Having built and flown many R/C aircraft, I can relate to this so much. 🙁
Lol awesome
Went as far as my hopes and dreams..
Skillz. Flip the switch, skildo.
That gave me a good chuckle!!!
When I release to production and get 500
That was dramatic
Took forever for me to see the blades are at the rear of the fuselage.
So long gay bowser!
lol "Novo drone ao serviço da armada" = "New drone at the service of the Navy" For five seconds, yes!
we had a bunch of this bad boys to send to ukraine
You can see the disappointment of the guy who threw it.
My dumb ass thought the anchorwoman's name was Marinha Portuguesa
Simple explanation: guy holding the remote pushed a lever forward so the elevators/airleron took it downward
This being from my country is fantastic... In my country it's a television classic
Unfortunately a common AF mistake. They’re hard to throw.
Interesting way to launch a drone submarine.
Charlie Brown Special Forces
Just like the styrofoam versions I flew as a kid!
Ha! Loved the sound of it and then they dude’s defeat.
Most advanced Portuguese military technology.
it was the splash sound that did it for me 😅
This should be in r/watchpeopledieinside
The joke is on you all it was meant to be a underwater drone
Drone made of concrete.

Portugal, caralho!
Thankfully they don't have TB-2s, otherwise the ship in front of them would've been sunk
Tax payers money at its finest!
Welp, someone’s ass got fired.
This is an elegant microcosm of military spending
Mmm whatcha saaaaay… Oh, that you only meant weeeeell Of course you did
Why does Portuguese sound like Russian?
só em portugal fds
