Its not just about the flying aspect, a lot of RC models are built by the people who fly them. Its the satisfaction that airplane in the air you're flying you built yourself.
That's quite an achievement! Looks so real, the only thing that gives it away is the sound. The work that's gone into building it must be staggering! Bet those guys breathe a sigh of relief every time they land it without damage!
For the many thousands of people asking how much this plane is, it was made by a man named Mac Hodges. Its not for sale and he goes around the country doing shows, so don't get your hopes up thinking you can buy one.
Negative, this one is not the Mac Hodges one. It's build by two belgians, my regretted friend Pieter and his cousin. After Pieter died in a ultralight crash in jan. 2008, the plane never flew again. It was donated to a museum for display.
You know those guys had to be proud the first time she took off. A lot of hard work and money into that but I'm sure we'll worth it. Thanks for the video. Made me feel like a kid again
I believe their choice of prop has to do with the ideal RPM of the smaller scale engines, the very likely fixed pitch nature of the spinners, and the power to weight ratio of the plane. I imagine those props are fixed pitch, so the pilot would have to change throttle via RPM to alter the plane's trust. Having a heavier-than-necessary prop would increase the throttle lag and make the plane more difficult to fly. That, and the power to weight ratio might have been easier to manage with a 3 blade.
Some B-29s even had 3 blade props. Make one to specs? Then why not an exact duplicate engine, eliminate the radio control gear, etc. 2, 3 and 4 blade props for RC are for pilot-control preferences. What a totally stupid statement from someone obviously ignorant of the hobby.
Children can see the wonder in things that some other people can't. That's something I've tried not to lose as I've become older, and it's one of the reasons I've chosen a career in science. Without the childish sensations of curiosity and wonder, we wouldn't have things like aeroplanes; toy or otherwise.
woww cool i have an ac 130 with military camouflge its pretty impressive this new sport is more and more popular since in my country i was one of the first ones introducing it in 1992
Real sharp :-). Some of these models have a power to weight ratio that's ridiculous (far too much power). This one looks right. One little nitpick I'll have to look up. Weren't the belly turret guns on these more towards the center of the fuselage?

this is the side of youtube I'm staying at, so much better to watch videos like these than hatred.
3:21 This is how i see the end of my life.

If it’s a one of a kind it is probably priceless. Imagine having a crash.
Dear Santa...
Still amazes me when I watch this video. 😀 I've seen it 20 times probably and it never gets old.
You know those guys had to be proud the first time she took off. A lot of hard work and money into that but I'm sure we'll worth it. Thanks for the video. Made me feel like a kid again
Just put a horse saddle on the thing and climb on board... (or buy a cessna, cheaper and smaller!)
lol
That is so cool imagine how much it cost though
a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent job flying the Superfortress!!
Every single thing was just perfect! Love the video shots, sound, take off, fly, landing, place..!
Great model Nice work. One correction, The B-29 had four blade props
dear santa....
a mini Enola Gay? Where's the mini- toy "Tallboy" falling out of its little bomb bay doors? Haha awesome video folks ^^
Nice flight! You know it's big when it takes two guys to control it lol! :)
That looks like the ENOLA GAY plane.
That's cuz it is, except it's not the exact one just the same type of plane (the b-29)
The real B 29 had 4 blade props...........if they are going to make one to specs, then do it right. Others have on other models.

The model had 4 blades props for displaying. The 2 blades were for flying only.
Thats awesome, looks great and especially loved the landing.
Like that sound!
Great Job!
Damnnn...!! It's a biggest plane that I ever seen. Great took off and perfect landing. Good job, guy. And keep it up!!
Great job , fantastic modeling
your welcome! theres a hell of a lot more to flying model planes than people think there is :) well worth getting into tho, its a great hobby !
Awesome video..Tim
That plane looks so awesome!
That view from under the plane as it flys over the camera would make anyone think it's the real thing. Nice job.
Outstanding Piloting guys... FANTASTIC
What a beautiful model!
Really really big and flown by skilled men.
Perfectly level flying is the supreme challenge of the scale model pilot.
Great plane and great flying
That plane has a great sound. I like it!
Absolutely beautiful model....!!!
Absolutely gorgeous airplane!
Very impressive B-29. Enola Gay revisited from the Smithsonian. Great work. A joy to watch.
Friend:Hey I'm gonna go rc planing
Me: ok, I'll come too
Friend: just let me load up the trailer first
:O
Thats awesome. Good job guys!!!
Speaking as an A&P, this is AWESOME!
Nice job! I'd be scared of a flight failure with something this large.... it'd go through someone's roof!
Beautiful and majestic.
Loving this!
Wow!!!
Even with real Turboprops!!!
Simply amazing!
That sure is a monster Very nice video well done
looks cool and pretty fast too. id like to see someone ride it
Man this is like flying a poney. Amazing model.
great landing !
Impressive aircraft and flying...
Wow, awesome!
awesome landing!!!!!amazing.
this video never gets old to me ....very cool
Very interesting answer.I had no idea how much there is to the design and operation of these beauties.
Beautiful!

Big. large & beatiful. I like the B-29.
That thing is HUGE! I would ride it. LOL.
Thats just over the limit, but soooo freaking AWESOME!!!!!!
THAT IS IMPRESSIVE! There are only 1 or 2 airworthy B-29's left in the world, I guess we'll have to add 1 to that list!
lolx...when zoom in it looks like a real plane...by the way love this video especially the landing ^^
that was a hhhhuuuuuuge rc plane looks like you built it too :D an impressive take off, flight and landing you should be proud :)
NAILED the landing!
That's freaking awesome.
Great plane ... well flown !
This is what I'm looking for my next video production.
♥like♥
simply amazing!!!
Awesome!
Que buen pilotaje, impresionante. Gracias por subirlo.
0:50 there is this typical desert thing, always passing by in the movies xD
This is what I'm talking about! More planes please...
That is Awesome!
Love it!
Wow beautiful landing.
Cool video and it doesn't look fake to me. You should put a go pro camera on it I bet the video would look really cool
This will teach my neighbors from letting their cat shit on my backyard.
I would like to see one of these done with the scaled down Radial engines they sell now. That would sound awesome !!!!
Bellissimo!!!
woww cool i have an ac 130 with military camouflge its pretty impressive this new sport is more and more popular since in my country i was one of the first ones introducing it in 1992
Awsome!
awsome that thing is HUGE cool vid
Nice approach and touchdown
I'm pretty sure you could have bought a decent 152 for the money lol
Nice plane thou congrats
Impressive !!!!
Wow did you see the wing lift when it speeded up -Nice fortress .
Holy huge. Liked and subscribed.
Nice Landing
Awsome plane
"THIS IS AMAZING! LOOK AT IT FLY!"
"Pilot please identify yourself, you're flying over restricted military territory"
*BOOM*
"Aww, my plane..."
Love the channel!
Real sharp :-). Some of these models have a power to weight ratio that's ridiculous (far too much power). This one looks right. One little nitpick I'll have to look up. Weren't the belly turret guns on these more towards the center of the fuselage?
Amazing!
and awsome landing
Farking cool..... Wats the rang on that before u lose signal? That has to be a rush, to watch it do a low flyby
Wow, from a distance it really looks real.
So cool!
Where do you store a plane like that? Better yet, how do you transport it? Do the wings come off and reassemble on site?
Fantastic
good job nice landing wow :)
love it!
nice landing...
Looks authentic, sounds anything but!
nice landing
Nice, you should share that on our website if you get a chance!
People see that thing coming, they might think they're under actual attack!
EPICNESS!!!!!!
