Great machine, I have a 1/3 scale Piper Cub 12 foot wingspan-all alloy tube construction, now 35 years old. Features in many indoor halls displays.🎹🎼🔭just one of many interests at 81 years old.
Some of you guys comments are so far off it's hard to believe. This guy does the same thing that we do. we create things, and the more challenging the idea in your head is, the funnest things to build are craft that you put the detail into..r it is to succeed👍
Fantastic it would be so tempted to build one big enough for me to fit in a probably be scared to take off really enjoyed this video awesome plane workmanship
I remember when model airplanes were really small... This one is YUGE! Pretty soon they'll build one big enough to carry a person... What a concept! I hope I'm around when they do that...
That's a beautiful airplane right there. Seems like it flies great. I must say that I would have to put a flat four cylinder four stroke gasser with individual header pipes for each cylinder in that bad boy if it was mine.
Great job and nice flying and yes that motor sounds very strong . Most non flyers don't understand the bigger the plane is the easter it is to see and fly . .40 size planes look like the size of a bird when you are flying and that is the most common size . It is the starting size .
Great video and great piper cub flown to a high standard been a rc pilot for 45 years. flown and own large cubs built from plans great air craft in MODEL FORM & MODEL FORM. JUST can't understand why people give it 75 NOT liKES . just GEUSE THAT thay are gelous that thay cant fly or build butefull models like that. WELL DONE THE BUILDER AND PILOT.
When would the FAA (for eg) become "interested" upon the size of a RC model.... what %of a full scale aircraft might have them paying a visit? I know some people have made very big RC models of Boeing and Airbus planes.
Exactly. I'd even go so far as to say that when you get to an aircraft this large, you need to take a few flying lessons first...before you hurt someone with the thing. Here's the first lesson: The rudder is for three things on an aircraft. In no particular order they are: 1) To overcome torque 2) To overcome P-factor 3) To overcome adverse yaw I spent 20+ years as a flight instructor, and saw all three of those problems with this flight. Great-looking aircraft though.
Meantime you'll keep slamming the thing through the sky, hoping you don't kill someone when you stall/spin it into the hapless and unsuspecting crowd of onlookers? Don't say you weren't warned.
@@bluehornet6752 i see you keep coming back to bash this guy lol. With real aircraft yes you have to maintain the runway no matter wind direction with rc when the wind pushes the tail to the wind you go with it flying into the wind on take off equals, = bet you know the answer...
Hey snowflake, I wasn't "bashing" anyone. I'm just trying to protect our sport from people who don't seem to realize how much damage they can do to it by making poor decisions. This has nothing to do with the wind. Just compute the kinetic energy this (semi)guided missile has, and tell me how much control you feel comfortable maintaining. RU-vid is full of these "look at me!" videos, where people build huge aircraft and then go fly them around the sky in a ham-fisted fashion, with no clue whatsoever of the basic principles governing the flight of an aircraft. And what's worse is that they do it around a crowd of unsuspecting people who assume, because the aircraft is so big, that the person flying it *must* know what they're doing. So they stand there while the pilot slams the thing around the sky, mere feet from killing someone. But hey, if you're comfortable with that then so be it. I'm not though--and I really don't want to see the sport overly-regulated by the government because someone builds a huge aircraft, but clearly doesn't understand why it flies the way it flies. And at the end of the day I couldn't give one less pinch of shit what you say. I spent YEARS evaluating the way people fly aircraft and am quite confident in my abilities to do so. But thanks for your comment!
@@bluehornet6752 i dont remember calling you any names you little bitch and yes youtube is full of know it all assholes i bet you comment on all kinds of flying videos always the same old bull shit im a flight instructor blah blah blah .....
If u have to ask why, you dont understand. Take it for what it is. Also, can a guy not enjoy his hard work and investment with out being picked apart for his flying, or why he did it. This is an amazing machine. He may have 10 full size planes, everyone just assumes what they want. Enjoy things.
Incredible flying skills. I still don't understand how a plane flies upside down with the upside down wing lift pulling the plane down to the ground? Beautiful model!
Can you fly in it ? Can you make "Cargo Drops" from it ? Why would you need an RC this big unless you are flying behind it in a chase plane. Why not build an ultra light ?
I have often wondered why someone who has the skill and expertise to build something like this doesn't just go ahead and build an ultra-lite and really go flying.
Engineering, time, money, licenses, certification, fear of flying, not what they want to do, because they like rc and don't want a real plane, just guessing, but i bet this person really like rc planes. I could be wrong. They may already own a real plane. Maybe they have already gone ahead and built themselves an ultra-lite. You make great assumptions on this persons life from one video.
I wondered the same. I am a part 61 ppl (sel) and I also fly Rc. To me Rc is like watching an Airshow. And I can dictate what kind of maneuvers. Flying a full scale is a different kind of fun and I am limited to stall wing over and spins for my aerobatics. No so with rc.
They don’t have to hire someone ,,, I have a Neibor kid that would love to test Pilot I mean donate his time ,,,,,, he’s a real pain in the ,,,, I mean a great kid ........ contact me ...(132) 555-4355. Lol
