FILMED OVER THE WEEKEND OF JUNE 27th & 28th - 2015 AT THE WINGS & WHEELS MODEL SPECTACULAR AT NORTH WEALD AIRFIELD - EPPING - ESSEX - CM16 6AR ,
TURN OFF AT JUNCTION 7 ON THE M11,
At what point do you say "screw it" and just buy a real airplane lol.
Brian Lastname no kidding i dont get it....are they scared or whats the point....
They are all too heavy to board; must resort to drones.
I know. These plane are so big they're too small. They could use these in a ww1 movie though I suppose
At the point you can fly/afford a real one
@little philo What don't you get? Its called a hobby; people do it with planes, cars, boats, etc.
Spectacular, amazing airplanes, but I have one observation...Don't get me wrong, I love radio control airplanes, been flying them since 1976, (and full scale, although I'm no longer current) but "model" airplanes of this size require full scale handling techniques. Both landings were accomplished in gusty, crosswind conditions, although no crosswind handling techniques were ever applied, because most R/C pilots don't practice crosswind landings, because they don't have to. Generally speaking, smaller scale models can be landed successfully in crosswinds without ever lowering the upwind wing to control drift, while utilizing rudder to maintain aircraft heading. But both of these models were in the developing stages of a ground loop at touchdown, while the Stearman, which has a propensity to groundloop, actually swapped ends during the rollout. (Checkout the RUclips video "Boeing PT-17 Groundloop,") With the current trend towards giant scale models, we R/C pilots need to recognize that models of this size tend to fly exactly like the full scale birds, and must be handled accordingly.
many thanks for your comments robert, very interesting - pete,
Thank you Pete for posting this spectacular video, I'm subbing!
thanks for subbing robert - hope you enjoy our videos, dont forget to look at our playlists for ease of categorizing different types of aircraft - pete,
Wolfreespirit Rebel?????????????
Yep, below about a 4 foot wingspan, one can fly an RC model pretty much without touching the rudder control except to steer on the ground or do knife-edge flight. I used to fly 2-foot wingspan 2-channel .049 racers with just ailerons and elevator, literally no rudder, just a fixed vertical stabilizer. At those scales, there is really no noticeable "adverse yaw effect", ailerons just make the plane roll. Roll it in the direction you want to turn, then use the elevator to climb into the turn.
It starts showing up in the bigger planes, and then you have to learn to use that rudder control. Takes a while to re-learn, especially if you've had a lot of time flying RC, and those learned habits are hard to break. Fortunately, I had read Wolfgang Langewiesche's book, "Stick and Rudder", and that made it easier to know what was going on. I no longer wondered what Wolfgang was talking about.
Another effect the small planes don't strongly have is the "elevator is airspeed control, throttle is altitude control".
Big RC planes certainly open up new dimensions, as well as being easier to see and sound better.
On the other hand, plop an RC transmitter into a full-scale pilot's hands who's never flown RC before, and I bet the learning curve is even steeper to re-learn to fly an airplane from outside the cockpit.
Hate to see people so close to the prop during start up. Someone is going to lose an arm or a hand someday. TAIL WHEEL ANCHOR...!!!! That's all you need to get all those people out of the danger zone.
+panther105 How do you think they used to start airplanes? They would 'think it' and it would start. Go google hand propping...
We have all been WRONG in stating that there were ANY errors in procedure here. The only person that made any mistake was the guy who fell. He was walking backwards and not looking where he was going. The bag was necessary equipment that had to be exactly where it was. It was sitting right next to a traffic cone put there to prevent exactly what happened. All of the people around the planes had specific jobs to do (none were spectators) and did them correctly and safely (again aside from the guy that fell). The Stearman pilot adjusted his engine correctly and with due care. There IS no other way to reach the carbs! Safety was properly addressed at this event and nothing in this video shows otherwise. The cone and bag were located such that a trip would NOT result in a fall into a prop which is all you can ask for! The only error was the guy walking backwards without looking while working around fast moving unprotected spinning death swords. The event planners, pilots and all but one of the assistants did their jobs perfectly.
Ryan C Wrong dumbshit. The guy at :40 has his damn arm over the front of the prop while he’s tinkering with the engine. No real world pilot would ever do that, one little glitch electrical or mechanical and that engine could start and take off his arm.
Flyboy BC Wrong. The guy at :40 could lose an arm if that engine decides it’s warm enough and he leans on the prop to give a spark plug just a little spark and a start.
@Kris Roberts I had a friend lose his life in the military when he was hit by the tail rotor of a helicopter. Not a pretty sight.
the guy falling over hes bag
LOL!! Classic!
1:05 blue shirt on the left huhuhu
It was so funny, I watched it 5 times.
He went down so gracefully, but had a hard time getting up. Also people have been killed by these props. Why in hell do these guys want such large toy planes? Just get a private pilots licence and real aircraft!
been something if he fell into the spinning propellor,,,,chop chop goes the weasle.lol
1:08 The guy in the background Falls
Alexis Marrufo poor sod
Alexis Marrufo yep,that was funny
+Alexis Marrufo I kept rewinding that part, I got a good laugh!
and a cone to the crotch
Most uncomfortable seat no question
7:48 no rudder input leads to ground loop. A guy with that much money wrapped up in a model should learn how to fly it first.
Have you flown large scale RC? Its not that easy to see if the aircraft is tracking straight when your looking at it from side on. It's MUCH harder to fly a model from the side of the runway than it is to fly a full size aircraft from the pilot seat!
@@srnunan4783 I understand that.
I wish I knew why, at EVERY SINGLE AIRSHOW, real or RC, there's always gotta be an announcer that blathers on and on endlessly through the whole show, despite the fact that you can't understand a word they are saying between the engine noise and the amp distortion and echo...but it does create just enough useless noise to detract from just being able to enjoy the sounds of the machines?
This Stearman is likely my favorite model ever. I love everything about it. Size, engine, sound, power and inflight ability. Better watch those ground loops. Go and take a few hours of flight lessons in a full scale J3 Piper Cub and your abilities and technique will improve greatly. I wish I knew all the details about the cost, build hours, specs, etc involving that Stearman. I once was an avid R/c modeller and full scale pilot owner. 98% of my flight hours were in taildraggers. Love them to death!!!! But all took place many years ago in the early to late 1970s. Too old for either now.
1:04 Right when I was thinking, "Someones gonna backup and trip right into those props.... oh shit, it's happening!"
Hey that stearman has a rudder. Use it!!!
Oh wow. I just read your post after posting above. YES, use the friggen rudder!
Watching these amazing RC models fly 5-7-10 years ago I always wonder if they still exist, or if they crashed years ago and ended up in the garbage bin.
Let's face it, even the best RC planes piloted by the best pilots have a high probability of crashing. They always fly low and often slow, with very little altitude and time available to recover from problems.
I did have my first R/C plane for 22 years, many crashes though.
nice airplanes; rough landings
The guy at 1.05 had a better landing than the toy planes!
It wouldn't be a rough landing if he knew what a rudder was for, he never touched it?????
Why not just make it a tad bigger and sit in it?
what like 95 to 100%, then you need to actually have a pilots license to fly them
7:23
Either that or go on a diet.
Tom Gray this guy did! ruclips.net/video/FpcI3XudnX0/видео.html
I think everyone watching this want to seat on it and take a ride.
That was funny seeing that guy fall on his butt by the yellow plane. lol
No...it was actually pretty funny 😬
I love both these planes, but that Stearman is absolutely beautiful. Yeah.. if she were mine.. I would jump in front of a truck to save her. :-) Or, _if I were still married_, I would have thrown the wife in front of the truck to save her. But that's not really saying much.. XD
Unsafe as no eye wear, and if that guy had fallen onto the ladies they would have been pushed into prop. People should not be anywhere near a moving prop of models of this type. Risk assess it I recommend.
8:05 Guy can't use rudder to save his life.
+koch i think you mean 7:51 bro
I know what you mean. some builders can build amazing planes but really don't know anything about skid and slip or making a coordinated bank turn. they just bank and yank . you can get away with that on a small model but when they get this big,... whew it could just be a matter of time before disaster.
When last one landed started to spin thought rudder shoulda been cranked over to stop spin.but ive never run a model or flown.maybe it jamed or some malfunction
Stear Man,,,, use left rudder ,,, and lots of it,,, hehehhe
Stearman looks, sounds and flies very nice and realistic but Pitts looks ugly and flies too slow for aerobatic special and sound of hirt with reductor isn´t realistic and looks underpowered.
These are full scale aircraft and this is the land of the giants
VERY GOOD AIRPLANE and PILOT, BRASIL OK.
Too bad the Pitts is not as pretty as it could be with that canopy...
+Monty the Desert Rat Right on sir! Why waste all that time building a plane and then not put a clear canopy on it....
Great models!!! Riddle me this: if there are 86% models, why not go all the way to 100% models? For the pilot figure, just get a posable mannequin, or better yet a real human pilot. And a stick and throttle to fly it with.
Lmao, , The 1st guy who's got his plane running could've taken a couple of flights around the park bout time the guy that fell got his ass back up lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I dont get it? The second plane landing the plane take off to the right. Watch the rudder. He never touches it???? Why? When I'm coming in I don't touch the elirons 1. I dont want to kill what little lift I have and 2. Rubber is for yaw....use the rudder and save your wing tips.
needs to learn how to land properly
Hooooooooly crap those are big. With %86 you might as well get inside.
Too expensive to fly even a piper cub in Europe. That’s why they fly 20-30k rc airplanes over there. It’s cheaper.
Jijiji minuto 1 , que caída más graciosa , pero mucho cuidado al andar cerca de un avión , la hélice está esperando víctima que se acerque.
Nice landing at the 1:00 min of the video!!! Ahahahah :-D
@1:07, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”
Why are they standing so close to the prop ? You clearly see a gentleman in the background trip a struggle to get back up. There is no regard to safety.
They said of the Stearman that any monkey could fly them. But only a pilot could land one LOL!!
For the ones saying why not just get a real plane? These are real planes. Flying real planes has two very enjoyable viewpoints, one from inside looking out and the second one, from the ground watching a plane manuever. larger scale models fly and move visually more realistically due to the scaling up in size. The bigger, the more realistic. Plus in in exterior view you get to watch the plane manuever and you are the controller, can't do that with 'real' planes unless you make them a rc plane. RC pilots like exterior view, watching their beautiful plane while being the controller. How beautiful is your plane while you are sitting in it looking out the cockpit? you don't get to see it! :(
david curry, Sir., A Fair & Reasonable statement by a man with a head on his shoulders! Thanks!
As a scale pilot now on my 39th year of planes from 10th scale to 1/3rd scale, a 5'8" Heli, (Align 600n 3D nitro with flybars and no governor, Note: way more challenging to control/fly this old heli than even the real thing, this told to me by a RC and Cert. full scale heli pilot, telling me also; if able to fly a RC heli of the type I fly, a real, or full scale would be a piece of cake for me as an RC pilot to fly! Perhaps someday?!!), ..anyway additional various mini quads, I can truly say that you're spot on! Though I enjoy flying full scale, (the size you get into), with a certified F.A.A. flight times of more than 20 hours, in either of an Cessna 150 or 172, and once for two hours in a Cherokee, as I said you have the jist of it. I really enjoy flying period! However, as so many that have made comments in this string, seeming that they don't understand, or have a perspective as evident of, it seems they're speaking out their toothless wonder.. lol
R.C. allows those who don't have the doe to pay for a full scale, the insurance, maintenance, FAA annual inspections, license, taxes, all adding up very fast to be BIG bucks! Not to mention price of fuel!!! "OUCH"!!! So RC gives us much the same, but as you stated directly, provides an actual and realistic view as a pilot can get while controlling the aircraft! Besides as you likely know or do understand, many flying attributes can be done with RC that shouldn't, ..Can't be done in a full scale aircraft, i.e., inverted flight, rolls, knife edge, loops, both inside and outside variety, or straight up crazy fun flying things one can't do even if having a stunt plane & licence to do so!
Some people need to put up or shut up, not understanding what's going on, additionally, I've never seen or even heard of a heli (full size!) hovering inverted, doing windshield wipers actions, (tick-tocks), or various other flying skills, maneuvers! I am taking the time to write you sir, to exclaim my respect for you, folks like you that seem to be able to see a bigger picture, grateful I am for folks like you that do take a moment to think before commenting as I stated; talking out their "TOOTHLESS WONDER"! I still have hope that ignorance and arrogance is overcome, folks like you show me the reason to keep the faith, that hopefully, some read comments like yours and get a clue, or hope that at least one person does. ( If their ego's aren't so big as to be able to admit their idiocy! Yes Sir, a reasonable man you are, thanks for being such!
May our Lord & God almighty bless you and yours and to all! Peace & Kind Regards, Mike
1:00 the best!! falling guy... next time falls over the props and you get a kill.... a bunch of idiots near engines...
What's the point of building these giant models? Its still only a remote thrill to be flying these planes from down on the ground.
My father owned a super stearman flew a lot of air shows with him as a kid (early 60s) now you could not do that with out some do Gooder throwing a fit .
The visuals of the spinning props are amazing! They almost seem big enough for a human passenger.
OH MY GOD DUDES WHY AREN'T THEY JUST GETTING IN!!!!!!! Wait that one didn't have a doll in the front, and the otherone had the cockpit covored. hummm. tee heee heee. ;0)
An initation test, falling on one's rucksack. A parachute jump rolll!
That Stearman has the most authentic sounding engine I ever heard on an RC airplane. Sounds like a full size airplane. 👍
Dang, if you’re going to go to that much trouble why not build something you can fly in yourself?
That takes a lot of guts to hand prop... Al those people standing around that spinning prop... No thanks...
One day someone will build a 99.9% scale model and use a lightly sanded crash dummy for a pilot.
El piloto de la sterman en aterrizaje ve que el avión se va a derecha y está con la cola a derecha , bonito avión pero piloto malo.
Hey kid, hop on board. And don't touch the controls. I ran out of money and couldn't afford a pilot figure.
I love giant models. The sound of the Valach radial is fantastic.
Thank you for sharing this great video. Well done !!! *liked and shared*
_best regards, Horst_
RCScaleAirplanes many thanks my friend, what a gorgeous aircraft and awesome sounding engine - pete,
RCScaleAirplanes Two lovely miniature planes indeed, a great sight. At 38 seconds, if that ignition was ``live`` and that prop kicked it would have taken his arm off!! Never move, or put your hand on, a live engine prop unless you are in the starting sequence. Even turning it the other way may cause a kickback. These are full scale sized props. Never-the-less a great vid.
WOW!!! Awesome video Pete!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
+Chad Cole Hey Chad. You in the front, me in the back cockpit...............pp
+petejulie1000 LOL...😆 I hear ya my friend. I can fly a Stearman. 👍🏼 A friend of mine has a Super Stearman with a PW 450. 👍🏼
Very nice WORK, GREAT PLANE. HOW MUCH IS THE MOTOR?
You're almost there guys - just a little bigger!
Not sure why one would want such a large RC plane unless you could somehow become a passenger.
At these planes cost
I did go ahead and build a real
Great lakes..flew it for 10
Years...now building another
One....Pitts Special... $8,500.00
very nice tim, some of the models flown on the public flightlines during the season here in the uk are around £25,000 - £30,000 each !
The radial on the Boeing sounds so much better than the zingy two stroke on the Pitts
Get people out of the way thT prop in case it splinters
Props too big. Smaller prop with more pitch. Plane and pilot prob gone. Dangerous. Never stand next to a people FFS. Lol
If they are going to build models that big, they might as well go the next step and build a real 'plane and fly in it.
What do you think the price on something like this would be?...
This always been my dream to have a large scale aircraft because I loved it since I was a boy always growing up in the B 47. And the Sabre jet. And always admiring the TV shows I used to watch with my friends when I was young especially my friend Dino I wish I could get something like this and do something Fun like a model like this my favorite is a Gloster gladiator I never been able to get around to building one I had a similar smaller scale of aircraft the first generation of the Dr1. But coming from Greece somebody stole my airplane it was designed exactly as the owner of a great grandfather Who flew and all engineers at that time before the German more beautiful airplane now it is gone. I really wish I could be at this Scale again cuz its so fun To spend hours building it in all the times of putting things together and making it work.
When RC gets this big it's time to put down your Transmitter and get a log book and some lessons.
Wow rich people are buying planes for their children 👶 , I hope they are wearing parachutes ?
Both of these models flew very well. Big models of small prototypes always look the most convincing.
The Stearman sounds like a full-sized aircraft, - very rare for any model. The Pitts flew well, but sounded like it was powered by any old small two-stroke, which was a pity, as it was obviously light and handled well.
As someone who has built and flown model and full-sized a/c all my life, I must say that, splendid though these models are, the work involved, not to mention the cost, begs the question as to why not put the effort into full-sized aircraft. ....? That's not in any way to demean or diminish the achievements, but when models get to 86% of full-sized, the question really does have to be asked...! Where does it stop? A 99.9% scale model..?
Have to say I cringed when that fool tripped-over right by the propeller. ......!
+HeavensGremlin I see your point about taking it all the way. Heck, there are smaller percentage copies being flown by people all the time. Now, as to "why not put the effort into full-sized aircraft...?" I can give you a number of reasons. One, health- you take certain medications or have certain health issues and it's no pilot's license. Then, maybe there's a fear of heights or other applicable phobias. Anyway, you get the picture. Then, one more thing and it's really reaching. Maybe he just kept building models bigger & bigger and got to here w/out thought of making a sit in and fly plane occurring to him?
+HeavensGremlin I've often thought the same thing. If you can build something like that you can build the real thing and really go fly.
+HeavensGremlin
In a word, cost. There are additional safety and maintenance regulations to comply with, cockpit instrumentation, and a pilot who needs special training.
Getting a pilots license? Let's see, written test, dual time, check ride, hourly rental, passing the medical, plus, plane costs are absurd these days to own. Maintenance, annuals, and A.D.'s. Everything is extremely overpriced. When a fuel switch valve should cost no more than $50, but costs $900 because of FAA BS, and then have to pay an obscene amount to an A&P to install it, I can see why RC looks so good.
1:05 man makes a backflip ;-)
but nice Airshow!
These planes are big enough to sit in and fly never mind radio controlled.
The non-chalant falling at 1:08 is golden!
He barely missed that cone up his butt.
+Garrett Nelson Yes!
Best moment in rc lol.
brah ket LOL. Wait I don't get it. Will you enlighten me.
Garrett Nelson Wondering the same brah ket
After all of that effort.... the Stearman pilot is nowhere near scale.
1:07 than man by the yellow plane fell lol
+The bikesandgame Mix Lucky not into the Stearman prop!
+Curt Leake lol
If you note, on that take off there are NO rudder inputs at all..... A+++
Do you need FAA approval for that if it flies in the USA?
Imagine doing a WW1 movie using all giant scale biplanes?
It might have been easier to make a real airplane remote controlled
Just climb in and fly it, it's big enough for me to get in. Love it guys. Good flying.
nice models... horrible landings!
No tempo de 1:06, o tiozinho caindo na mochila foi hilário! kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
João Sabbadin kkkkkkjjkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
These guys aren't very good pilots... just horrible landings!
I would just go get my pilots license at that point!
Wouldn't want to crash one of those… Good flying...
1:08. When you crash land even before you've taken off!
Hope you need license permit and insurance? love r/c but that size is crossing the line imagine loosing control and hitting spectators!!
yes we all have insurance era, but looking at the statistics you are at more risk of dying by falling down the stairs or smoking or driving a car or many more activities so dont be put off going to model rc shows please,
Please let me see a video of these airplanes crashing
You’ll need a big truck to bring it home…
The stearman sounded so much better than the Pitts,
1:06 Careful there lol.
I bet a really tiny person could actually fly that Pitts.
have you tried peanut scale?
Lovely sound on the Stearman - looks real.
طبيخ
Awesome aircraft! Put your grandkids in it and get more views! Cheers!
I have been flying giants for 10 years now… To all new flyers out there a piece of advice (please no offense by any means!)Practice your starting prop movement, this is a way of how to get injured! It must be a single motion movement that leave your hand out of prop´s path.
About your landing. especially when the models are getting bigger and heavier. When the wheels are almost touching land, pull elevator a bit, this will soft things down, your landing gear and fuselage will appreciate it!
thanks for the advice perezc
I wonder if they felt tempted to sit themselves inside the cockpit, with their r/c box on their lap and fly the planes?
i did !
What’s the point of large scale RC planes, I’d just buy a real plane lol
That airplane must be worth more than my house.
I saw this video again and I noticed the guy stumbling down on a hand bag. That was funny....
At same point they are going to a real size airplane
Lol we not gonna talk about the fact that the guy in the background tripping over a bag and falling?😂😂😂 1:05
O véio enrosca o rabo no cone! PQP! HAHAHAHA
You know, after watching these weekend warriors fumbling around these giant planes (mark 1:04), and I am sure I don't want to be anywhere near an R/C field with these guys flying... just way too dangerous for casual flying sake.
I agree!
we have all been WRONG in stating that there were ANY errors in procedure here. The only person that made any mistake was the guy who fell. He was walking backwards and not looking where he was going. The bag was necessary equipment that had to be exactly where it was.

The only error was the guy walking backwards without looking while working around fast moving unprotected spinning death swords. The event planners, pilots and all but one of the assistants did their jobs perfectly.
At 1 minute the guy falling on the backpack had me laughing.
Anyone seen little Johnny?............
Love the dramatic back-wards “aerobatics” of the chubby fellow, at aboot minute 1:05. 👍
Why not make it Full Scale and just get in the darn thing fly off into oblivion
oblivion trev - thats the hard bit m8
Both of them about ground looped em !
a satisfying engine sound in stearman
I always thought RC model planes are self made, in the garage. It has turned into a rich man toy game. Defeats the whole enjoyment value. As usual big guys, with deep pockets has spoilt the playing field. I somehow don’t see that huge plane model built in a garage.
your completely wrong Mah - this model was built in a garage and what does it mater how big the model or how expensive it is for people to enjoy this amazing hobby - you are wrong !
tbobborap1 thank you for your reply. I never said it’s wrong. What I am saying is, the whole premise of aircraft modelling is just that, making aircrafts say from balsa wood or foam board. Sorry, I don’t see how that huge RC plane is made in a garage. Maybe it’s assembled in the garage, certainly not made made, if you get my meaning. Sure, there’s no limit to how much fun you can get from flying the RC crafts.
I think I'll stick to 1/4 scale.😁
