Awesome! Gonna be expensive when it crashes though! Looks pretty big, I wonder what scale it is.

Twitch would love this. Nice show and a very nice landing. Were the inside engines the functioning ones?

Jayzus that thing looks huge. At what point do these things start being classified as drones, small aircraft, or cruise missiles?! :O

There is a guy at RCGroups.com building a ~21.5 foot wingspan B-36C, 6 pusher prop motors and 4 ducted fan motors all functional all electric.

Looked that way to me. The outside engines looked like they had covers over the intake area.

Wow,

amazing. Came into yt-surfing via this vid and found this huge Ju-52 model:

Funny it said C-17 Globemaster? and yes it has 3 - 5 cylinder Moki Radials, way overpowered he could fly around all day at 1/4 throttle, but it does sound cool.
Check out the 1/3 scale B-25


edit: ah, the links sorted themselves out, now I see the C-17

Loved the Ju-52 and B-25 videos.

The biggest incentive for prop-plane fans to get a normal CCD video camera: no rolling shutter. Oh man, what a trippy effect it has on those propellors.

Hi,

Just finished watching the Supermodels 2 series on Discovery Shed. They were building a Globemaster with a 20 foot wingspan.

It was powered by 4 German made turbines, had pneumatic operated landing gear and cargo doors and even had an RC landrover on a 'chute that was to be extracted from the aircraft during flight. They never got to launch the landrover, but it did fly.

It also had 4 minature wireless cameras on it.

Cheers,

Andy

Nice that they used the RAF scheme, I get the 1:1 versions over all the time

Pretty cool.
Since I live close to March Air Reserve Base I see them quite often too.
