    If I had a nickel for every rc video claiming to show the largest airplane, I'd be able to pay for another one. This example is magnificent though.

    That landing pass was amazing. The way it held altitude, even gained from the look of it, as it made the turn was beautiful.

  • @lauraradigan4114
    @lauraradigan4114 5 лет назад +4

    I got very worried on the base to final turn because of the wingtip clearance but the pilot handled it like a pro. Just a gorgeous aircraft. I fly full size Sailplanes and I know how hard it is to fly such a long wing. Well done and congratulations.

    Wow. Just wow. I wish I could be small enough to fit inside the cockpit of the glider. Watching this is like a dream.
    Long wingspan = low induced drag. Short wing chord = low Reynolds number, and hence laminar flow over the wings, producing little drag. Very neat design. Thank you for sharing :-)

    I wasn't sure if the plane was able to perform efficiently with such a large wingspan, as it looked almost on the verge of folding under it's own weight... But I guess there is much more for me to learn from others who have more experience with sailplanes of this scale....! I applaud the pilot for his expertise, and hope to see, and learn more about these massive birds of this scale...! Thank you for sharing this video with us...

    That has to be seen to be believed Horst! - what a beautiful bird.
    20 years ago I used to do a lot of slope soaring and had a similar design glider, though only about6' span - on a good day with thermals as well, it could stay up as long as the flight pack could last! These pattern gliders are very graceful.

    This is amazing! The detail inside the cockpit is great, too, the sliding vent windows, the pilot's microphone, and even the straps for the mannequins.
    I think if I was flying this, I would look for three cameras that transmit real time video so that you could have a forward looking view from the cockpit and one to either side. Also, replace the forward looking tail camera with one that transmits data. Finally, and I have no idea if anyone makes one, a variometer that can send data to the ground.
    One last thing, an airplane that size, I thought the Wilga that was towing it was the real thing, at first! At 15+m, that's one big airplane!

    Correction. This is the largest toy aircraft that is remote controlled. The Ravn X Autonomous Launch Vehicle is a mammoth aircraft with a wingspan of 60 feet. The 18 feet tall behemoth weighs in at 55,000 pounds. THAT is the largest r/c aircraft in the world ;-)

    Eine Meisterleistung solche Flügel herzustellen, und das made in Austria :-)und ein Glanzlicht in deinen Video Produktion, das sieht man auch bei den Zugriffen.
