Watch when he starts the engines up... i'd be afraid to let this bugger take flight, but then he does look like he knows what he is doing.... very nice and very impressive...

Great find. Now thats a neat UAV :D

That's awesome!

:E :E :E

Jucky :ok:

Awesome:ok:

all spelling mistakes are "df" alcohol induced

Awesome? Awesome is the KC-10 Tanker that is next on his list of models!

Awesome? Awesome would be if he got the two of them together in flight!

Bloody good flying too. The landing was a damn sight better than some I have been subjected too and he wasn't even looking out the window.

Wow, how impressive is that, all I need to do is make more landings like that! :ok:

nearly 30mb in size but also very impressive is this B-52.

Wave of the future if there is to be an RAF maybe?

STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!
 

Not a spotter or modeller, but I am absolutely gobsmacked. It must be amazingly difficult to fly remotely. Anyone know how many engines it actually had?

I fly competition standard RC aerobatic models (up to 9' wingspan) and helis and it took me a while to learn. Obviously the flyings second nature but orientation is a real issue. A good appreciation of energy and airspeed are also vital. The money I spend on it is immense and I'm not even into jets yet!

That F-14 has 2 turbines, and the B-52 had 8. It crashed last year (pilot error suspected). It is being rebuilt but the full size is a little unstable in yaw, and I believe this gave some issues with the model. Despite the cost a real shame to see it come down. Theres also a C-17 flying too which is superb.

Didn't that B-52 model come down in an eerily similar way to the tragic B-52 accident at Fairchild?

Yes however this was a combination of a stall and loss of orientation of the model. The bloke flying it throttled back on the downwind leg, and effectively stalled it. The left wing dropped and perceiving a right turn he applied left aileron. The model then went inverted at low airspeed and piled in.

I remember a documentary about a RC lancaster a few years back. IIRC it had one pilot for the engines and another for the flight controls. Anyone got any links to a film of it?

C-17A R/C Model

Very very impressive, would love to see this beast in flight.

Don´t tell Hoon, you might give him ideas....... :}

You're right!!
We'll get a spotter on this forum later this year now with a report from Shawbury asking why they are storing loads of R/C Models.

:rolleyes:

From Razor's link on the C-17 ...... if you ever get a chance to see the above TV series it's well worth it (I'm sure they will repeat) ..... it's truly a magnificent RC project

Does this mean these chaps can fill in the 'gap' when an RAF C-17A doesn't appear at this years RIAT in the flying programme :E

They could make up the loss of 100 a/c with R/C 'giant' models! :rolleyes:
