  • This is a very rough cut of the second day of the NZJMA jet rally held at Tokoroa Airfield (NZTO) in New Zealand in February 2020. Large turbine powered helicopters and huge RC planes. A full edit from the whole three days is coming soon, don't miss it.

    That Mi-17 takeoff is probably some of the most realistic RC footage I've ever seen. The way the gear decompresses is amazing. The sound is great too.

    These are awesome choppers well done to builders and operators. Great jet planes also.
    I love Jet noise!!! I spent 18yrs sitting alongside a J34 Westinghouse jet engine used at Willowbank Raceway in Queensland Australia.
    I operated the jet to blow ash or water of the track. Great in winter not so great in summer . Not only the jet heat but wearing a fire resistant suit used in drag racing and other motorsports.

    • @jakegarrett8109
      @jakegarrett8109 Před 4 lety +1

      A lot, mostly would be the many hours of labor painting them and giving them those nice finishing details that is hard to put a price on. Core components would only be $3,500 plus airframe which is probably not much in $ but a lot in hand building labor. It would be about like crashing a real airplane in cost (except these are basically harmless in terms of injury, not so much for real airplanes). I think this would be along the lines of me crashing an ultralight (one that I’m looking at is a 60 HP bi-wing with 18 ft wingspan and nearly 6ft diameter variable propeller costing $7,500 USD used in excellent condition, so really these models cost about the same as real ones, you sure don’t want to start out model aviation with these cause a crash sure would cost more than my car!)

      EchobeeFPV oh yeah, way out of my price range for toys... I spent only like half of that on my car (a fun fire spitting RX-8, so a big toy and sort of practical transportation, haha!). I could afford a couple of these planes but then that would be all the fun budget for a while, and I know I’d manage to crash these pretty quick if not the first time, so that’s a no-go for me too, haha! They do look fantastic though. I may end up with a jet at some point (I’m an aerospace engineer so I’d probably remake my teams project “Wraith”, a jet powered stealth UAV with 40mm grenade deployment I helped design), but even it was too pricey at like $5k and it uses a much smaller and cheaper jet engine, I think I’ll have to settle for an electric EDF with foam-board in a slightly smaller and $100 version of it, cause it’s pricey, haha!

Are you guys buying crappy retracts? Are you just struggling trying to make them operate correctly? As complicated as turbines are to get right and have them function correctly it just seems that the retracts would be the simple part of that planes operating system,
