This video shows crashes/fails of 3D radio controlled RC helicopters which can be dangerous if not handled properly. These RC helicopters are very powerful and extremely agile, able to exceed the flight envelope of a full size helicopter. They are available in various sizes, but even the small ones are powerful and fast. If you're a beginner learning to fly RC helicopters, there are many beginner friendly RC helicopters available in market. You can find some good beginner friendly RC helicopters in my channel.
Some crashes in the video with possible causes are listed down below.

10. T-Rex 600E PRO RC helicopter flies too close to the ground inverted and gets destroyed on impact. It's really not a good idea to do that because the damage caused is going to be huge.

9. This is a midair collision between an RC helicopter and RC plane, which completely disintegrates on impact. When you're randomly sharing same air space, this may be the consequence. That small foam RC plane had no chance of survival after it got hit by a big 3D RC helicopter at high speed. You can clearly see in the video - the little plane was simply unrecognizable after the impact.

8. This RC helicopter suffers from tail boom strike causing it to explode midair. Proper mechanical setup will not cause any boom strikes. If an RC helicopter is well built and setup, boom strikes are highly unlikely to occur. It happens due to something missed in setup or preflight. Blades flex significantly during flight, but this is well embodied into the designs these days. Likewise, missed loctite on swash balls, broken links, blown out dampers, and even blades that are much too loose, sometimes can lead or lag so much that they drop into the boom.

7. This is a perfect example of "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes". There are various reasons for RC helicopter fails and you'll definitely crash one in your lifetime if you get into this amazing hobby but flying erratically over water is never a good idea. If it crashes on ground, you will be able to at least retrieve it. I love scale flying over lakes but make sure the helicopter doesn't get too close to the water.

6. RC helicopter spins uncontrollably before crashing hard into ground. One of the causes could be failure of tail rotor which is designed to prevent a helicopter from spinning in the opposite direction to the main rotor blade. When a pilot loses control of the tail rotor, this can result in a total loss of helicopter control.

5. Goblin RC helicopter crashes while trying to take-off. This could be control input failure or backwards gyro. Vibration issue of the helicopter could also cause it.

4. Another T-Rex RC helicopter crashes due to boom strike the causes of which you can see in number 8.

3. No matter how experienced you are, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Although the place the pilot was flying looks quiet and there was nobody near by, it's a residential area and you cannot and are not allowed legally to operate such deadly machines in residential areas. In addition, neighbors are definitely not going to love that noise. So, don't do it and fly responsibly.

2. The RC helicopter spins out of control before crashing hard into ground. This is similar to number 6 crash caused by failure of the tail rotor/tail rotor drive.

1. This is one of the most deadly RC helicopter fails in which the pilot hits himself with a huge RC helicopter. Luckily, he was able to cut the throttle seconds before the helicopter hit him lessening the damage of the impact.

This video aims at providing awareness to RC helicopter pilots whether novice or experienced about the dangers involved in flying 3D RC helicopters. Always fly in a club or large area where there are no people or property near by. It's always a better idea to learn in simulator first if you're a beginner. But, please note that flying in real life conditions and simulator are different things. Some people master in flying 3D RC helicopters in simulator but they often crash a lot when flying in real.
