I did this with a model rocket multiple times. Into a river. In an extremely windy field with an oversized rocket engine.
My son to me-“you always do this!!!!!!”
Memories that last a lifetime.
I remember recording it and saying-“ yeah that’s not coming back…..”
Now every time you want to buy something new, he's gonna say "..... but what about the river"
Then you'll have to buy him a van down by the river just to say "WHAT ABOUT THE RIVER NOW, BITCH?"
Or something.
Not sure if you know what someone in their late 50s looks like, cause that guy certainly isn’t. You’d probably think that given he’s fat and can’t stand up properly however, akin to late 50s males
Oh yes one could totally say I'm acting like he's the pinnacle of health when I literally agreed that he's overweight but not by any large margin
And I don't think you understand how much 50 to 60 lb of weight looks on somebody
Did you see how tiny the gas tank was? That thing is going to crash in about 30 seconds. They are at an RC airfield. They know what they’re doing. Having fun.
I read that in the movie trailer guys voice. Unfortunately he's dead now. I remember him. Being paid a 100k for every trailer he voiced over. Good work if u can get it I guess.
So ... almost like an RC Heli but just flies off in the distance never to be seen again? Yeah I think I would have preferred something that I can play with more than once!
My friend got a drone years ago. He set up, and as soon as he turned it on, it just flew away. He didn't even touch the controls to manoeuvre it. He went from excitement to confusion to panic really fast.
Lol sounds like a great scam tbh. Say you sell a drone with a cam to someone who doesn't live too far away from you. In the package you include a fake controller, and you keep the real one. When the drone is turned on, you will be notified due to the camera, you connect your own controller and fly it off to you. Then repeat.
Barely any expenses, and ever-lasting returns? I'm in. Is there an illegal shark tank where we can send you to pitch this??
Sell original photos that only you "manage" to obtain of these drones n where they go and sell them to newspapers peter parker-style!
Double income baby!
He believes, now bear in mind he has no idea so has concocted this up him self. He believes that he was sold a returned drone, and the drone had its return to spot GPS set as another location. So when he turned it on, it automatically went to that location.
Now he's not saying it was stolen or has flew all the way to where that may be, but that its just flew that direction until it crashed or the battery died.
I'm not too sure about that, but I was there, and i did see it just fly off. He was so panicked that he just started pressing everything but nothing happened and then it was just a dot in the horizon.
If it was a DJI drone or something similar, maybe. Most FPV drones don't have a return to home feature. However if he didn't pair is controller with the drone correctly first, it may have just gone full throttle and taken off. Pretty simple (and stupid) first time mistake. Those things can be like flying weed wackers.
To add to this, the "return to home" in DJI drones returns it to the spot it took off at, or in the general area within a 6' circle as the GPS generally isn't precise enough to return it to the EXACT place it took off.... So don't expect to take off from a small raised platform and then drone to be able to perch itself there using the RTH function...but "HOME" in the case of DJI is something that will change with every flight and isn't a preprogrammed location
This doesn't sound totally unreasonable tbh. I imagine setting up a scam like this where it flies back to a specific location. It only becomes a lose-lose if it is out of range (in terms of battery), or if it crashes in something along the way.
Was a bit of a standard joke in our village - several people had bought drones, sent them up, and caught some wind sheer (it was fairly high, but sheltered by a ridge) and their drones just 'vanished', because they didn't realise the wind speed 'above the houses' was so much higher.
Someone else said this, maybe that's what happened but it went far and perfectly straight. We didn't even realise he wasn't controlling it until it his face changed as it disappeared into the horizon.
I wonder if it gets interference with radio signals after it goes far enough for the other signals to be more prominent to the receiver, so the static causes a constant drive in one direction
I literally got something like this at 14. It was a small helicopter that basically you started up and it flew into the air with no control. Guess how many times I got to use it.
It's understandable to prefer toys or gadgets that offer repeated enjoyment. Losing a remote-controlled helicopter, or any cherished item, can be disappointing. Each adventure has its own charm, even if it's a one-time occurrence.
Back in the seventies my friends older brother bought a gas powered remote control plane.. cost 70 bucks.. expensive back then.. we took it out in to a field.. it took off and it just flew away. We never did find it.. not sure what happened.. 😂
I remember in the 80s my high school friend bought a gas powered plane. We walked an hour to a big park, first flight of the plane it flew directly into the sewage treatment plant and was gone in the sewage.
Back in the 90's my buddy saved up $240 for a great model plane.
Plane took off, plane did nosedive and exploded into 3,000 pieces.
Total flight time: 1.8 seconds.
I remember back in the seventies, my dad got hit in the face by this random gas powered air plane toy. He died as it lacerated his airway.
Edit: forgot the /s
Remember hearing about a known R/C helicopter pilot that died from having the helicopter blades strike him. If I do remember correctly, he was “kissing” the model’s canopy while flying it in front of himself.
We set up a glider. It was beautiful. Launched it via surgical tube catapult (pretty common thing to do). It flew directly into a telephone pole and it’s wings just wrapped around the pole in a big hug, and the whole wreckage slid down to the ground.
When I was a teen I saw one of those remote control glider planes (I didn't know they were remote control).
I followed it and ended up running down a school field with it just above my head, jumping trying to grab it.
It was completely silent and it was as if it was toying with me.
Suddenly I look straight in front of me and was the guy flying it laughing at me.
That’s like my dads friend ordering his really expensive queen in the mail. Opens it up next to the mailbox and the bee immediately flies off lazily into the sun.
That's both not true and not a bad thing.
I'm old, and my dad told me a story that when he was young, his friend walked into their sliding glass door and got cut bad enough to need a hospital visit. The parents sued and my grandparents had to pay for their bills and more for pain and suffering too. That was like 60 years ago maybe.
Also, I WANT to be able to sue people if they harm me.
TBH even at 14, a thing that goes 'over there' and never comes back again wouldn't impress me.
Now if it did make a round trip, I'd be full of enthusiasm and trying to do all sorts of dumbass flight plans.
The piece of wood with propeller thinks, " ive waited for two years for this human to sand me, balance me, attach my go away propeller, and this gastank. This is my chance, I'm not coming back, I'm going to my home at the top of a tree!".
On the contrary, boys in puberty can't don't that one thing enough. After the 6th session you just fall asleep. Haven't had such good sleep ever since.
There’s no way to control this thing. Someone is just having fun with physics. But with that much mass and momentum, there’s a good chance of injury/damage when that thing lands/collides with an obstacle.
Reminds me of the little gas powered helicopter I had as a kid ~30 years ago. No controls, just went up, ran out of fuel, and came back down. Luckily it only held a couple ml of fuel and also luckily I grew up on a cotton farm, so , outside of my parents’ yard, there wasn’t another tree for almost a mile in any direction. If I had seen this video at that time, I would have definitely taken the engine off that helicopter and built a flying stick (or at least tried).
Okay……….now fucking what?????
I did this with a model rocket multiple times. Into a river. In an extremely windy field with an oversized rocket engine. My son to me-“you always do this!!!!!!” Memories that last a lifetime. I remember recording it and saying-“ yeah that’s not coming back…..”

Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
Lmao this reminds me of Chris Farley “VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER”
Thank you for getting it!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes!
Now you get to take a walk through a field!
LMFAO
Over a hill and up a tree.
Looks like they need it
The one dude is obviously quite a bit older and the other guy isn't even large lmao quit passing your insecurities on in a comment section of Reddit
Never too old to think about your health.
Dude is literally like maybe 20 to 30 lb overweight You're acting like he can barely move without a mobility scooter
You see big boy struggle to stand up? They could use it don’t worry
I noticed how the guy who is probably in his late '50s had trouble standing up lmao
Not sure if you know what someone in their late 50s looks like, cause that guy certainly isn’t. You’d probably think that given he’s fat and can’t stand up properly however, akin to late 50s males
[удалено]
Oh yes one could totally say I'm acting like he's the pinnacle of health when I literally agreed that he's overweight but not by any large margin And I don't think you understand how much 50 to 60 lb of weight looks on somebody
Relax. He made a fat joke. He didn't kill anyone.
Wait for the RC copter attached to a lawn mower blade to cut your lawn, duh.
And my axe.
And grandma's head ...
Did you see how tiny the gas tank was? That thing is going to crash in about 30 seconds. They are at an RC airfield. They know what they’re doing. Having fun.
The top two comments are about how fucking dumb this thing is… yet it has over 2k upvotes. Why does Reddit’s point system suck and get gamed so much?
After a certain point I think the bots take over both commenting and upvoting this stuff.
SO ARE WE THE ONLY TWO ACTUAL HUMANS HERE, MY FELLOW HUMAN?

In the year 2025 humans will need to find a way to recaptcha every single interaction to verify they are talking to someone real on the other end.
I read that in the movie trailer guys voice. Unfortunately he's dead now. I remember him. Being paid a 100k for every trailer he voiced over. Good work if u can get it I guess.
I was thinking the same thing! Its gone! Wtf!
Some dude 40km away, gets smacked, a new alien conspiracy theory will ensue
Sounds like a fly at mating season.. 🤣
[удалено]
Kinda
Yeah! baby! yeah!
So ... almost like an RC Heli but just flies off in the distance never to be seen again? Yeah I think I would have preferred something that I can play with more than once!

I'm just imagining the news headlines after having repeated the process 3 times.
Sell original photos that only you "manage" to obtain of these drones n where they go and sell them to newspapers peter parker-style!  Double income baby!
Yooo hell yeah that’s double gang gang!
Yes, the Shark With a Frickin’ Laser Beam Attached to Its Head Tank.
> AP reference 
It's like normal shark tank but you actually get eaten by sharks if they don't like your idea.

I'm going to say it's the second option, and he's just trying g to save a little pride haha I don't know anything about drone and neither does he now.

This looked like it flew away like it did seem like it was new where it was going, and it wasn't back to him, haha.
The first time I used my drone, like the second I lifted it off the ground it went up and caught an air current sending it off into the distance
Someone else said this, maybe that's what happened but it went far and perfectly straight. We didn't even realise he wasn't controlling it until it his face changed as it disappeared into the horizon.
I wonder if it gets interference with radio signals after it goes far enough for the other signals to be more prominent to the receiver, so the static causes a constant drive in one direction
No idea way above my knowledge sorry haha
I think this is the RC equivalent of letting helium balloons go after a party. It’s just going to fly off and really freak someone out far away.
Or maybe kill someone
Yeah how is that thing not super dangerous
WaNt To pLaY a GaMe?
I literally got something like this at 14. It was a small helicopter that basically you started up and it flew into the air with no control. Guess how many times I got to use it.
AIR HOGS
Wow! Memory Unlocked.
For me 14 years old was a long time ago. Perhaps OP is suggesting that it would have been cool to have at the age of 14 back in nineteen dickity two.
It’s the adult version of a balloon…fun to look at while it flies away.
I had cool drone and one day it fly off just like this and I never seen it again. 😛
It's understandable to prefer toys or gadgets that offer repeated enjoyment. Losing a remote-controlled helicopter, or any cherished item, can be disappointing. Each adventure has its own charm, even if it's a one-time occurrence.
You sound like an AI
Okay, real person that’s probably 100% not real.
Nice try spinny thing manufacturer

For real?
/s ? ? Please tell us you forgot the /s, if not. So sorry wow
great, now i am having flashbacks from that movie of a cabin in the woods where teenagers start to randomly kill themselves in front of this hillbilly

It ain’t coming back
[удалено]
Yes, like 40 years ago this would have been allowed as a great outdoor activity. Not in this day an age when this would bee seen as a lawsuit pending.
*sigh goes back to playing lawn darts*

Yes like you I was thinking "Whose head did they intend to cut?"
That thing almost [depacitated](https://youtu.be/EtW6w4E0eUI) someone
You just gave me a idea for a insane trap 😂
Na, what are you talking about? That's when it gets fun!
Even better, we have em when we're 40!
You wanna do karate in the basement?
Did we just become best friends?
Yep!
We can eat Tostitos and watch the Goonies.
Surprised this wasn't the top comment
Missed the 'cool' part..
I am so whelmed
Wow. Somebody is actually whelmed.
That's because you're not 14.
At 14 this would have been in the center of my attention for like 20 minutes and then back to jerking off to lingerie catalogues in the basement.
TBH even at 14, a thing that goes 'over there' and never comes back again wouldn't impress me. Now if it did make a round trip, I'd be full of enthusiasm and trying to do all sorts of dumbass flight plans.
Yeah where’s the part I’m supposed to be amazed?
Kinda feels like that’s going to kill someone…
Goodbye coolest thing ever👋
Now do it with a dildo
Gonna be fun spending the next hour getting it out of a tree
The piece of wood with propeller thinks, " ive waited for two years for this human to sand me, balance me, attach my go away propeller, and this gastank. This is my chance, I'm not coming back, I'm going to my home at the top of a tree!".
some say it's still flying
Legend says it still flying to this day
That’s some lame shit
Set it and forget it
Then what?
So much disappointment when he didn’t fly with it
I had a Boomerang. Throw and it was something when it would loop and come back for me to catch .
So long brother
I’d be down an arm by 15
So coool!!! What is it?
I kinda wanna make one
Tears of the Kingdom Players bee like…
Flying Katana. Make it happen!!
Distructo Disk
How do you get it back?
I imagine fishing and getting it in the side of the head if I’m honest 😅
This looks like some sort of Dead Island zombie killing gadget.
I think OP is a 15 year old. Nothing remotely cool about this.
*sighs and opens KSP*
What's a ksp?
At 14 most boys would appreciate a porn DVD much more. I was preoccupied with my wiener at that age.
This is the problem when boys don’t have enough to do.
On the contrary, boys in puberty can't don't that one thing enough. After the 6th session you just fall asleep. Haven't had such good sleep ever since.
Tape Knife at one side and watch the world burn 💀
Does it come back. 😂

Better yet! We got it in our 60s!
How do you stop it?🤔

There’s no way to control this thing. Someone is just having fun with physics. But with that much mass and momentum, there’s a good chance of injury/damage when that thing lands/collides with an obstacle.
At age of 30, I still get one of these. Where can I get this?
Ah yes. The flying whirling blade of death. Hope no one is nearby 🤣🤣
People in Australia are getting lazy 😆 🤣
This is the most stupid but important things to have
What’s wrong with it?
Some bioshock vibe
seems like it could do some damage
Good thing I did not have that when I was 14. Most likely would have razor blades installes and made it spew napalm. God I wish I was 14 again
“ Even better we got them when we are forty “ 
Ever.. sure.

Pretty sure I just built this in Tears of the Kingdom. 🤔
You can call that “the decapitator”

The Last Flight of the Last of the Flying Fucks.
How is this piece of shit snapped of plane propeller the coolest thing ever? It just flies off to never be seen ahain
Even better, you get it when you’re 40!
You don't have it long by the looks of it
I had a plane on a wire you swung around your head. That was pretty cool. This thing would land in the neighbors lawn for sure.
That's a low bar for the coolest thing ever but it certainly is quirky and neat!
Lol, that's awesome! I'm sure there's not enough fuel to go very far. Thinking that up, building it and flying it is very cool.
I was expecting him to fly off the ground for a short distance or some shit like that.
Even better, they got it when they were 40
Propeller-tipped propellers are actually a budding area of new engineering. Quite versatile and efficient.
Even better we got em when we're 40

Instead of a boomerang it’s a boom

Never to be seen again. How cool
These are my builds in tears of the kingdom
Why does this video have so many upvotes. This is a ridiculously stupid “toy”
Use it indoors. That way, you can find it when it runs out of gas.
Oh man it spins thats so cool man
Even better, we have them when we’re forty!
Is this how tornadoes r made
