  • This model belonged to three members of the VLACH model club in Belgium and was a real show stopper in the late nineties and early two thousands. Unfortunately, one of the three passed away and since then the model is put on static display in the Brussels air museum. You can see a picture of it on the front page www.sbap.be/museum/brussels/br...

    Part of An unusual large RC model being controlled by Two Transmitters/Pilots is a unique model seldom to be found.
    The +engines are Flat 4cylinder petrol from Czech maker ZDZ
    This video has recordings form 1999, flights taking place in
    LaFerte Alais during the famous Large Scale event.
    John Flynn helped with the Camera recording .
    The list of Camera operators is listed at the end of the video.
    We do not know if this superb model is still being flown.

    THIS IS R/C MODELING AT ITS BEST. I HAVE BEEN FLYING R/C AIRCRAFT, BUILDING, AND FLYING UK TOP SHOWS FOR 20 YEARS .AND MODELING FOR 51 YEARS .
    THIS IS WHAT MODELING IS ABOUT, ENGINEERING, CRAFTMANSHIP, AND PRIDE. LET ALONE THE PILOT SKILLS .
    JUST DON'T KNOW HOW THE GENERATION OF NOT MODELERS .BUT FLYERS CAN CALL THEM SELVES MODELERS THESES DAYS !. MAIL ORDER READY TO FLY MODELS AND FOAMES. 😝 .
    AS A TRUE MODELER I SO MUCH APPRECIATE THIS CZcams CLIP.
    WELL DONE GUY'S YOU ARE A CREDIT TO OUR GREAT HOBBY. 👍👍.

    I love the more realistic power to weight ratio of this model. So many RC models are so overpowered it ruins their flight charachteristics.

      A lighter plane is always preferable to a heavy one a good pilot can still fly a lighter plane in a scale like manner. RC flying is very different than full scale we have guests Observers very close to the flight line as well as Pilots. To expose them to an excessively heavy airplane is a pretty dangerous situation especially if a failure occurs on take off, ask Mac Hodges about it if you've ever seen his video of his B-29 2014 take off at warbirds over Delaware. I'm not saying weight was an issue in that crash into the crowd, he lost an engine on takeoff but nonetheless weight is an enemy for all planes.

      @@ScaleJetFred OK, I watched the link without the music. Love how that beautiful lady seems to strain to get off the ground with a "full load of bombs". Very realistic. And the landing was perfect. Only problem, and this is the same with most RC videos, is that the announcer on the loud speaker seems to think that people only came to the show to hear him. He never shuts up. Guess he loves the sound of his own voice. Not much you can do about that but somebody needs to let him know that the audience wants to hear the sound of the aircraft as it buzzes the runway. Still loved watching this huge bird fly.

      @jeffs7915 Před rokem

      Nowadays some larger planes have the plane's control surfaces split between multiple receivers , so half ailerons/elevator/ and rudder on one receiver, half on the other. This done due to larger voltage requirements in giant planes as well as if loss of one receiver the pilot might be able to limp the plane home for a landing with half controls, not a pretty landing but better than nothing.

  • @NAVYABHAN
    @NAVYABHAN Před 5 lety

    What I have noticed about this Aircraft is that at every takeoff I have seen so far,the Aircraft always banks to the right on climb-out,instead of the usual left bank and climb-out. So I looked even more closely and noticed that as each engine was started, all 4 rotated counter clockwise which creates an awful lot of torque focused in 1 direction. If the 2 inboard engines were to turn clockwise and counter clockwise to each other,and the other 2 outboard engines were to turn clockwise and counter clockwise at the end of the wing's,then would completely negate the problem's of uneven torque and greatly improve performance and handling in the air!!! But what does a Helicopter Guy know about these thing's???
