OK that was pretty large, although I'm not sure it is THE largest around.

I was pretty taken with this one though, it's so realistic having seen Victors at aishows when I was a kid:

This one is INSANE  :o

Even an on-board camera, I dread to think how much this cost to build!!!!!!!!

 :o wiping the drool off my chin :P
unfortunately  that is a little out of my price range :(
I think it lost a part around 2:28 in the video. I hope it was nothing important.

From reading the comments, I believe it was a landing gear door, so nothing serious  :D

That's not too bad, but still a pain to fix.

I almost bought one of these fiberglass rah66 fuselage kits a few years back, but 5k for a close to total cost to build it was a little to scary for me if I ever crashed it.

Thanks Dave,
I think the only thing that can make this project better is if it was autonomous  :D

I found a few more that I really liked:

First, a Mig 29 (cool aircraft, lousy videography)
Jet RC BIG 29 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSpctmf7uuk#)

Then an SR 71

And finally, the USS Enterprise!

Nice finds, I sure  like that Starship enterprise  :thumbsup:

I found this a few minutes ago, not air worthy but I'm sure it gets some good air off the waves with those jet engines :P

yea that boat is a crazy fast for an rc.

That was sad to see all that time spent building go graveyard, at least it had 1 good run. I think computer aided controls would of helped stabilize it. Thanks for the vid.

I suspect a little research into how the rotordyne was able to fly may have helped there Syber  :-[

Nice landing there, is it me or does it look like a P-47 from the front  :scratch-head:
Title: Re: worlds largest RC model plane
Post by: sybershot on August 07, 2012, 15:19:55 PM
I had to google an image of the P-47 for memory was not working all that well, but yes the nose does look similar.
