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

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

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

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

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. sigh

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
