Most model airplane engines are 2 stroke Diesel but what the hell was he using for fuel, 30W crank case oil? Most fuels are basically a mixture of castor oil, methanol and nitromethane, certainly not standard Diesel which is #2 oil with cetane anti-knock additive and a few others in winter to keep it free flowing at low temperatures. That's fine for big engines but anything that heavy will choke a small 2 stroker. Yeah, he lost control several times and took a long time to figure out how to recover so bottom line is he needs pilot training. Maybe potty training before the plane shits the bed.

All it takes is a tool and a wrench.
