HUGE 50% SCALE Radio Controlled BRISTOL BULLDOG BIPLANE 

Yep, I did, just as I lost interest in that beautiful bulldog coz it has a big ting-ting motor:(

That comes from smoking

Couldn't agree more!

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers - Dom (Essential RC)

G. SPEED if you ever noticed most of your European countries ,esp Germany and england they do not know what a rudder is ,and they build the best looking models in the world...take notice,i do not know how they can get on and off the field not using a rudder...

I was about to comment this same thing.

@Azure sierra fox and for YOU to comment on a year old post is ...in YOUR WORDS ...fascinating for sure lol

Thank you too!

David. Yes. But it's a lot easier flying a full-sized aircraft than flying a model of one. Co-ordinated turns 'feel' right from the pilot's seat, but an RC pilot has no sense of feedback whatsoever. RC models don't respond like full-sized aircraft. Full-sized aircraft need rudder with ailerons to turn; most models will manage without. It may not look pretty to an experienced eye, but perhaps the pilot had other things to think about besides sideslip. Perhaps he doesn't care what his turns look like. Maybe his trims were out. Maybe the C of G was off. Maybe all that dihedral was screwing things up. Maybe he hadn't flown the model before. Maybe he was worried about that crosswind. Maybe he was too nervous on that flight to experiment. Maybe the owner had just whispered in his ear that he didn't want to see his £40,000 project smashed into the ground, so just get it down in one piece, please, and save the fancy scale stuff for a day with a bit less wind. Whatever. We didn't see the next flight, so we'll never know. Hey, here's a thought; perhaps he's a brilliant and vastly experienced pilot who knows as much or more about flying than you do. Or perhaps not. Perhaps he was flying 'bank and yank' aileron/elevator pylon-racing turns just to attract smartarse sarcastic comments on RU-vid. Or perhaps not. Go on, admit it: you're only being sniffy and critical because the plane's got red, white and blue markings but isn't a Merkin. U! of K! U! of K! ;-)

sking0369 I've built and flown several biplanes. Depending on the type, they can be a bit of a handful in crosswinds. WWI types especially. My favorite? The Great Planes kit of the Super Skybolt.

Depends on your definition of a toy. Not something to get hung up about

Rudder seems to be stuck, doesn't turn left.. 😁

Go head, just don't loop

Or... You want to fly your dog.

Building and flying model airplanes has been a most rewarding hobby for me for nearly 40 years. Maybe you could give it a try. Just, not quite that big!

Dave B more? He used none at all. I'm blown away how many RC pilots don't have a clue how to fly. Mac Hodges is a perfect example. He's very lucky to have not killed anyone with his massive B-29 going into the crowd. Scary

They're called RADIAL Engines 👍

Great 👍

It is the generator

It's more about the time and effort that went into building it.

@@EssentialRC no doubt about that. Truly amazing

Plain??

Ha! Auto corrected. Plane!!!?

JohnR I figured;).

Before you know it, they’ll be building 1.5x scale models! They need to adopt the drone camera thing, so you see through virtual reality glasses yourself sitting in the cockpit.

James Smith - wind driven speedometer (to scale)

Thomas Wykes I kinda figured that's what it was. This is the first time I have ever seen one. Thank you for the heads up.

its a wind driven generator, 12 or 24 volt. airspeed is derived from the pitot static system, which this aircraft prob has

The Bulldog has ailerons located on the upper wing only. To be specific, this is a sesquiplane, not a biplane, that is, the upper/lower wing are of different chords
