Ornithopters (even weirder than how it's spelled). Everything from scale model birds, to dragon flies, to original craft, to things that look like they escaped from a Japanese anime.
Airhogs firewing was a fun one
That and indoor autogyro. Both are bizarre and addictive.
I have a techone sBach 342 with a thrust vectoring motor mount and control surfaces about half the chord of the surfaces. I’m still getting the half of it because it’s so sensitive, working up the throws as I fly it more but what’s really impressive is the flat spins.
3:30 That's the racing airship I built! not me in the video though lol F7B is one of the more....niche aspects of the hobby.
I will say it looks nice. People love seeing floating balloons so the logic is sound for having floating balloons race... Maybe they're just a little plain
1:50 crazy to see tobi on your channel :) he flew at my old model field and is ridiculously good. He also did an internship at multiplex where he flew the new acromaster for some internal feedback before it was launched. Cool guy!
Greetings from Germany :)
This is a really fun video to watch. Great job as usual and thanks so kindly for the shout outs. Happy flying! ~Dave 😮❤
YOU deserve 'shout outs' Dave!!!
@@old-rcplane-phart Thanks so much!
You influenced me a lot when I first got in the hobby and I loved watching Mr. Herbert’s science class as a kid. Thanks for being an awesome ambassador for our hobby! 👍 -Zach
@@TailHeavyProductions Those are very kind words and well appreciated. Thanks Zack and Ben. Enjoy every day as if it were your last!
I just came back from visiting Dave.. what a great guy! I'm glad he's getting the credit he deserves.. I learned flying helicopters from his videos
The giant scale indoor is always so cool to see. Helium or not. Both are cool
Always get excited when I get a notification from y’all
Perfect! So much passion in your videos!. Again gents, great content. Y’all always have me excited for the weekend!.
Yeah! More vids like this. So interesting. Maybe more in depth on one or two of the ten as well, like the indoor large scale.
Perfect! So much passion in your videos!❤
I look forward to your videos every week. This was really fun to watch!
Awesome video fellas- again! Such a cool variety of stuff to fly with our hobby, thank you for highlighting some of the most interesting ones.
Also, so true re: C/L planes that can cut you in half, but nooooo FPV tiny whoops in the backyard! Huh?
Again gents, great content. Y’all always have me excited for the weekend!
I'm 13 and enjoying this hobby!
Don’t forget us RC skydivers 😉
I've desperately wanted an RC blimp for years. When I was a kid, my local hobbytown had a flight sim set up and I would always set it to the blimp model. I think I just want to be able to use a ton of knobs and dials, and control something that can move really slowly with crazy battery life
I have been waiting, and here it is!
The 4D fliers is what I wanna get into. Been flying for almost 28 years now I’ll be 39 this year. I think it’s time to get into the variable prop 4Ds. Have a lot of 3D foamies but those 4Ds aww man game changer. Would love the giant indoor planes, but I have no where to fly that stuff.
Absolutely love all the shoutouts and citations. Thank you!!
This was an epic video. It kind of reminds me of a challenge we did at the club at marymoor. "Anything but a plane day" was really fun.
The blimps in the first minute reminded me of a Hydrogen one I saw a bit ago. Curious if that wouldn't be more viable as it seems easier to seal and it does have like 5x the lift factor. Just need to insure no one shoots a flare at it or that the electronics short out.
Fun topic great presentation. Thank you for the wonderful job you did.
Very nice production here! That was fun, and I can't believe how many of these were new to me!
Great show! Well done. 👏
Great vid concept! Would love to see more like these in the future!
Control line combat is definitely a sight to see. If you search up control line f2d combat you can see some experts going at it
I had a friend who scratch-built a P-51 slope glider!
Its wingspan was a little over a foot and it was unstable as hell!
I think he was the only person on the planet who could fly the thing and boy was he ever good at it!
He was one of the best RC pilots I ever met!
Spot on epilogue!!!
I'm a big fan of the superlite indoor Flyers. Always wondered how I could get my hands on a helium airliner
Amazing video ! I am truely inspired to get into some of these neeshs now.
Very Fun! Great video.
Nice job guys!
This Video is fire! Thanks THP
Totally INSANE! WOOHOO!
Fun fact about dynamic soarers: there was a USAF project in the '60s for a spaceplane called the X-20 Dynasoar, literally a shorthand of dynamic soarer. Would have basically been a manned reusable spy sat. But, the advent of digital cameras (no need for film return) and budget cuts as Apollo chowed up the available money for space caused the project to be dropped.
Right on with the AMA comment, makes no sense. Nice video
Great video - different and mesmerizingly entertaining.
This was GREAT guys!!
I was wheezing at the control line intro
fixed wing rc dogfights are cool, but drone combat is lotsa fun too! more crazy maneuvering. they get into many variations of defensive setups and the ways for offense are also very crafty. hooks, ribbon, netting, stuff like that
Weird to see a very old video of mine on youtube. During that time i didnt even know you can upload to youtube. So thinking about my auto rotations when i had multiple tail rotor failures in my larger scale helis, being an avid slope flier, the idea of slope flying a heli began. So out came the whole tail drive system to save on the torque. Engine went out and i used 3 or 4 old nicd battery packs up front to get the centre of gravity correct. I think i used an old thunder tiger raptor .50 with .90 (700mm) blades. Wood blades as they were lighter and will spool up easier.
Our first trip to the mountain with a good breeze going was quite exciting. We spent about 10min getting the negative pitch and angle towards the incoming wind in such a way that the rotor would spin quite fast. Keeping in mind that my friend had to hold the heli above his head the whole time. After letting it go, it wa unreal, with the adrenaline rush, seeing a quick not well researched scheme come to life and actually working. Dumb young days....
Looking at some of the dissiplines in this vid, i rember with fondness about the combat wars. Cheap home cut styrofoam wings with a .40 motor up front. No streamers, just one on one.
Great vid, thanks
Fun video!!!
Blimp racing with guy chasing after you with a lighter ☠️🤣
Another fantastic video guys. The commentary is always spot on. Makes Saturdays even better. The indoor giant scale always looks like fun. 👍🏻👍🏻
The helium ones would be nice, I've always thought it'd be fun to have one that can fly slowly inside. Plus the batteries would probably last longer.
Interesting video boys. This hobby brings out the must stranges things. This hobby goes so fare out of my limit.
Have a nice midsummer weekend 😊
Awesome.
This was awesome!
excellent
Great video! Make more!
aw no mention of control line stunt? you should do a video on it. not enough people are trying it and theyre missing out!
My old man used to talk about doing this, he loved his control line planes.
@@saskafrass1985 i thought it was dumb until i tried it now im addicted. I go to like 4 contests a year
Just when you think you have seen everything an aerobatic plane can do... amazing.
That last comment about the ama... too real.
Good point at the very end of video.
Do some research on free flight...most of the same types (including uni blade helis) except without radio. Absolutely incredible what can be accomplished with a little ingenuity.
The light-weight planes look so big, but fly so slow!
8:20 The best thing i have heard today:
" [...] indoor blimp racing will be more exciting, if the blimps were filled with hydrogen and there is a man chasing after you with a lighter" 😂👍
Maby you could put a lighter on a long stick on a blimp and let them chase each other. 🤔
RC air battles was actually first started in a small town called Monticello in Kentucky many yrs ago. AMA gets the props for it though but it was really some guysb6in Southern Kentucky a long time ago that REALLY got it started.
8:17 😂😂
Love the critical undertone.
Username checks out. 👍
Dynamic soaring is just Mario backwards longjumping IRL
First Blue Angles Formation flight I saw in RC was before the main show in Moffet Field California during a Naval Air Show. Guy flew A-4 Skyhawks in a Diamond doing rolls and loops…. That was 1980ish…
they are not toy airplanes ,,they are small planes that have to be flown just like their bigger counterparts
4D indoor is awesome! Mind Blowing, but awesome! (i know Tobi from the Tobi-Style YT Channel Personally lol, hes a really nice guy)
Yooo this is a really cool video. Make more lol.
(Also although it will never happen this is the kind of videos I can shot my friends to try and get them into the hobby)
I would love to see FPV combat competition
I suddenly MUST HAVE an RC airship...
Mate, F7B is my new favourite things... I'm going to sell everything and jump in!
I'm not too much into RC planes and that stuff. I've played KSP for a few hundred hours, but that's where my knowledge and main interest in flying ends. However, when I see stuff like this I can't help giggling like a child seeing a superhero film for the first time. Come on now, the giant scale planes are sooo freaking cool!!!!!
Cool comp.. Just want to point out that plenty of nitro r/c helicopter pilots and engineers (Dave Youngblood - Curtis' father) did all sorts of thing like the uni blade flights back in the 70's and 80's.. uni meaning, one rotor blade with offset balancing.. Never seen a hammer though!!!
Oh for sure! Dave is just the first one to have brought it onto RUclips and he also was a huge influence on many RC folks so we wanted to give him a shout out there. 👍
Hydrogen filled blimps with electronic ignitor probe combat!?? I'm in!!
You missed cyclocopters, this is an old idea that was tried (and failed) at the dawn of aviation but has succeeded in RC in recent years. The concept has also been used in tugboat propulsion systems for over a century now where it is known as a Voith Schneider propeller or a water tractor (the thicker fluid and low RPM made it more practical at full scale there). They are basically a set of rotating vanes arranged as a cylinder with cyclically variable angle of angle of attack that can direct thrust 360 degrees perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder.
bro i just want a NORMAL PLANE
buy the 1220mm fms ranger rtf. everything you need, looks great, flies amazing.
@@robinhood184xD thanks
it's so weird seeing a flock of passenger jets slowly flying around in a room
My brother does that slope gliding thing. I think he is in second place or something like that for speed.
Canuck Engineering is his company if anyone is interested.
If been thinking about rc airships for a long time. I wanna make a big R101
I want a Helium filled plane! 🎉
2:32 Isn't it the x43 as it is by definition controlled remotely?
My favorite RC is the one that shoots AGM to terrorists.
Nice to see DMFV ads on your videos :D
slope soaring with helicopters, that just broke me. I mean, i understund more or less how autorotation works, but you still need a little bit of speed with the rotor to start and if you don´t have a motor... 😅
Need something to lift my straps across my trlr and loads, it’s really difficult to throw a strap and hook up and over 10’ high and 8’ wide load for securing. Hooks are less than 1 lb, and straps are nylon load straps.
I used to fly RC radio control combat. Open and 2610 as well as SSC back in my nitro days😊
wait, so the world speed record for an RC plane is held by an unpowered glider?
erm, well, non-internally powered I guess?
What if you power that glider
@@squareonedocubovicio8691 it might not make as much of a difference as you'd think, or even a _negative_ one: what they are doing is flying in circles that pass through two massively different flight environments (like passing in and out of the lee side of a hill in high winds) and profiting from the difference between them each pass.
which means their max speed is a product of how efficiently the plane glides, how little energy it looses at speed, and how smoothly and quickly they can manage the transitions between the zones. as long as the model airplane can do a _really_ good job of retaining it's energy while making these passes they can get the thing going as fast as it can physically hold together.
...actually...I'd have to check the specifics of what they are doing instead of just the napkin-diagram version but I think the process might hit a hard limit at a bit below the speed of sound, which just so happens to be where the record sits.
and yes, that means someone is sitting there on top of a hill in gale force winds flying a glider by eye while managing split-second-crash inducing transitions a couple of times a second at nearly the speed of sound. speedrunners can REALLY make a point of it because games provide a framework for the viewer to understand just how seemingly impossible what they are pulling off really is but they are by no means the only hobbyists that pull off some truly absurd feats of skill.
Control line flight has TWO lines attached. This is important because the lines are used to actuate elevator control by the pilot’s control handle. Control line flight is not simply “tethered flight”. Control line combat is not a spin-off of RC combat. It predates RC by a big margin.
Yeah, you are right. I personally flew my first UC combat in the '60s, but people were flying combat years before that. I flew my first RC combat in the mid-70's with scratch built King Kombats from RCM plans. Just last week, I found photos them. Brought back some great memories!
How many of these are responsible for UAP sightings?
When will the 2nd full size rc plane video be posted or done?
👀
im pretty sure i had some nemo helium thingy
We were doing streamer combat 35 years ago
Yeess, always love the Saturdays, because of theses videos
I don't know who the hell they fly those dynamic soaring gliders so fast. I lose track of my tiny whoop if im LoS flying it and can only track my park flyer because I bought a Night Vapor and it glows lol
I have an Airshark helium filled ,Shark that I have taken to several R/C show's . NO Wind indoor the Gym.
Some pretty cool aircraft. Interesting stuff. ✈️✈️👍🇨🇦
6:10 hopefully one day, i'll be able to make planes like this
Everyone remember that pilot lightning mcqueen? 👀😂😂😂
Correction: control line airplanes do not use 1 line, they use 2 or sometimes even 3 lines! 1 Line would make the plane uncontrollable. 2 Lines give elevator control, which you certainly need. 3 Lines are used in team-racing, where the fuel is limited and you need to refuel every so many rounds. The 3rd line cuts the fuel or rather the air to the motor. A secondant catches the plane in flight, refuels it, starts it and throws it again for the next couple of rounds.
I am into building rc things that can't fly, according to my mates, but do. Flying sharks with the motor inside it's tubular body. Flying chair, VTOL airplanes, auto gyros, twins with differential steering, push-pull speed planes, 4-8 motor LARGE planes, formation flyers (you can get them to fly really well), heavy lifter quadcopters with large grappling hooks, Santa in sled with reindeer, bombers that drop things, advertizing planes with tow, etc., etc. If and when they fly, I'm done and often they end up on the wall, never to be flown again. Only 'real' airplanes I built and regularly fly are my favorite F4U Corsair and the Extra 330 in twin version with diff. steering. And I have a 'bird I like to fly: a condor (8+ft span) cause it attracts a lot of real birds.
If we said one, we definitely knew it was more than 1...we fly control line during the flying season and definitely should have caught that.
Those control line planes are insane, I want to know what maniac put a Pulse jet on one to make a V1 flying Bomb
Im not gonna pretend, i actually think blimp racing sounds lit
In its widest application, "RC" stands for Remotely Controlled not Radio Controlled.
🤓
The ama for rc planes is like the atf for guns.
