I want to see how the CG is measured/confirmed. 😯 Love this build Ramy! I lived in Long Beach CA where the C-17 was manufactured and never got tired of watching them fly.
Your work and attention to detail is amazing ! I was lucky to have watched the full-scale mockup (made mostly of aircraft-grade plywood IIRC) of the C-17 fuselage as it was being constructed in one of the massive buildings at McDonnell Douglas/Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, CA. This was ca. 1986-1989, as CADD/CAM was still considered to be not fully mature and so they constructed a full-scale model to ensure that systems like the wiring, plumbing, landing gear and all that would fit. It was so impressive to see these master fabricators constructing the massive fuselage, and your work reminds me of that.
When you build a stick and tissue airplane and a few years later you wonder if your hobby got out of hand! Tremendous work as usual Sir - looking forward to seeing this one in the air
Back in the mid 1980s, I found a book with detailed cross section drawings of an F-16 which I enlarged on a copying machine to build a 1/6 scale model. I traced all the sections onto thin plywood, cut them out, and used them to hotwire all the left and right side sections. Glued them all together to make my 8 foot long fuselage plug. I spent weeks comparing and finishing it so it matched pictures from every angle. It was so rewarding to create. The good old days. Then I saw that companies were using CNC machines to create super detailed models. That knocked the wind out of my sails.
Looked up the EDF, max current is 500A! I don't know what the battery will be but just guessing that at 18s 66v, these will output 31Kw each. So 166hp for all four. That's the same as a Cessna 172.
What an awesome project!! I made a small EDF C-17 out of foamboard several years ago, its one of my favorite planes. My father was in charge of the ground test program for C-17 in the late 80s and early 90s, I very much "grew up" on the C-17. Can't wait to see it fly!!
I LOVE your way of working. How you get a feel for the strength of the various parts. Adequate but not overweight. As long as Tyler is not in a bad mood or overtired one day when he's flying it, everything should be about perfect.
This thing is huge, so why still open a hatch on top? Just make it opens like the real C-17 with a back cargo door and climb in to install the battery.
Your new process is very cool to watch, and having watched since your early days on RUclips, it's been amazing to watch your hard fought success story! Keep up the great content Ramy!
Ramy, being a huge AvGeek, I can’t tell you how awesome your talent is at building these phenomenal aircraft. I can’t wait for your next video. God Speed 🙏🏻
This thing is going to be a BEAST! I would contact the local USAF base to take pics alongside an actual C17 and maybe a flight test from an actual C17 landing strip!?!? 🤯🤯🥰🥰 THAT WOULD BE SO EPIC. ❤❤❤ YOU ARE A TRUE ARTIST RAMY! ALL OF YOUR BUILDS ARE INCREDIBLE! ❤❤❤❤❤ I LOVE the ME262 in the background also ❤❤❤❤
I would make a trip to Atlanta just to watch you work on one of these models. I have helped build one large drone at NIAR, but could learn so much by watching you work. Thanks for sharing on YT, you do premium work.💯
I hadn’t watched the first 3, and when I saw that engine nacelle at the start I thought it was some part major of the fuselage… that thing is massive. Amazing job Ramy
Ramy here is a suggestion you should insulate all the wires with fireproof fiberglass to prevent the foam from melting or deforming from the heat coming from the wiring. Just a thought.
I love your channel you have inspired me to make a fiberglass version of one of my foam eurofighter a gonna use it as a to make a reverse mold and make a fully fiberglass one
I'm curious as to how the EDF wires between the wing and nacelle will be handled. I can't believe they will be flapping in the breeze. Thank you for taking the time to document what is already a herculean task.
@rcnfo1197 It is a head scratcher. He already patched the wing where the wires fit under and soldered/heat shrunk the wiring. If you cut into the nessel support, you weaken that. Severely I would think.
Really enjoying watching this build come together. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the landing gear in comparison to the C17 new build and restoration projects that are also being aired on RUclips
I have just found your channel and caught up. I am massively impressed with your teams fabrication techniques, precision, attention to detail and the scope of your project.
Awesome work Rami! Must be a dream to have such an amazing workspace and extra hands when you need them! Can't wait to see this BEAST take to the air! 🤩
Enjoying the entire series on the Globe Master. Would love to see you guys building a new concept plane, perhaps one we can follow building our own from home.
thats a f ----n cool project. i started building models in the mid 80s and i am amazed what is now state of the art. (materials, glues, printers) super
You must purchase scissors by the case. Can't imagine they are any good after cutting resin coated CF with them and the resin cures. Can't imagine the cost of building this. The man hours, materials, machines, etc... $16k worth of Schubeler Fans alone. Incredible build, can't wait to see it fly.
Here is a Trivia question. What year did an RC B-36 fly? It had retractable landing gear and working nav lights, took 6,000 man hours to build was was flown once, then put away. It had a six foot wingspan and was constructed by a man who was in the US Air Force. Answer: It appeared in the October 1957 Flying magazine.
Thanks for sharing this amazing content. Knowing that this amazing craftsmanship exists in this hobby warms my soul. Thank you so much for your level of investment.
Great to see you again 🙂 You've been missed! 🙂Thanks for the update! 🙂 Your attention to detail shows in the finished product. Almost better that factory new. No - the aircraft you build ARE BETTER THAN factory new 🙂 Just a bit smaller 😁
I was looking at those cables and thinking about the power and that led me to looking up the ducted fans. 15kW each and 300A of supply...wow. I also just winced at the price and I wonder how you can ever take the risk to fly these planes.You're a braver man that I!
To put this in perspective, those EDFs are $4500 EACH. For ESCs to drive those monsters add another $1k each. $22,000 in engines and ESCs alone in this beast!
yeah. Also they're designing/manufacturing custom landing gears etc. I'm guessing the total cost including everything + labor is probably around the ballpark of 1-1.5 millions. Crazy.
a build this big , Id consider adding slats and leading edge flaps , and you need auto slat system when you reach your stall speed , you dont want this work to go to waste , cant wait to see it flies
sir am watching and following you from Nigeria, I started watching your builds since when I was 15, and I must say I love all your builds. noting keeps me going if not your builds. I would love to build like you. impressive work sir.
![Twenty One Pilots - “The Line” (from Arcane Season 2) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/E2Rj2gQAyPA/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm super excited to finish this one!
After a long time l am waiting for that 😢
That thing will be HUGE! Will Tyler need a special permit to fly this one? How heavy do you think it will be once it's finished, 40 kg or more?
With an engine with EDF being over 3.5 kg, that plane will be way over 40 kg. I will be shocked if it's more than 60!
This one’s so big Ramy! Amazing work as always, I still hope someone sponsors you to build a B52 Stratofortress! Bigger is better 😊👍
Could you make a short video about all the epoxy/glue you use on all your airplane?
Amazing work as usual :)
You never cease to amaze me with your talent, Ramy. Another terrific build for your faithful followers!
Thank you!

I want to see how the CG is measured/confirmed. 😯
Love this build Ramy! I lived in Long Beach CA where the C-17 was manufactured and never got tired of watching them fly.
Cg is simple. Calculate the mean aerodynamic chord location and put it at around 25-27% to start, then tune as required once you start flying.
Your work and attention to detail is amazing ! I was lucky to have watched the full-scale mockup (made mostly of aircraft-grade plywood IIRC) of the C-17 fuselage as it was being constructed in one of the massive buildings at McDonnell Douglas/Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, CA.

It was so impressive to see these master fabricators constructing the massive fuselage, and your work reminds me of that.
Imagine with this model being so strong that you could lay on your stomach inside the plane and fly it with the controller 😮
Talk about real FPV
Imagine if controller dies mid-air 💀
He should just forget the rc altogether and put a cockpit in it!
Dibs! I volunteer my brother in law for first flight! 😅
@@resadrecebli2263 this reminds me of a certain contraption that was supposed to dive to the bottom of the ocean.

Look like jumper cables.

This is insane. Absolutely insane! When you added the wing to the fuselage, the pylons didn't move. They are solid good sir!
Nice to have you back Ramy. As usual excellent work. Very entertaining and instructive.
What a beast. I wouldn't be surprised if you can ride this one!
This thing is huge, so why still open a hatch on top? Just make it opens like the real C-17 with a back cargo door and climb in to install the battery.
watching your videos here in Brazil I learned a lot, I've already built some constructions and I really enjoy watching your tutorials!!! show
The best channel for me by far!! I always look forward to your updates. Keep building!!
I'm already imagining the enormous amount of work it must take to get a smooth finish on this monster!
Your new process is very cool to watch, and having watched since your early days on RUclips, it's been amazing to watch your hard fought success story! Keep up the great content Ramy!
you should make it so you can drive some rc crawlers inside the back like your loadin them into the plane
Да, человек явно с опытом самоделкина, ничего лишнего всё просто, до гениальности.
Thanks for sharing your talent with us
this is insane,.... mindblowing....the cables alone are crazy :D

Wouldn't that be something
You can work with McDoglass factory or NASA Ramy...hoppe you the best.
Q.please where re from? I mean re from Middle East?
Probably my favorite rc plane youtuber
What can you say other than this man’s skills are beyond comprehension

Rami Rami Rami, these vids are insane. I’ve been watching for years and am always amazed every time. Nicely done, again
Can't wait to see this absolute monster fly!
If the engines have enough thrust, somebody could sit inside while it flies.
Ramy here is a suggestion you should insulate all the wires with fireproof fiberglass to prevent the foam from melting or deforming from the heat coming from the wiring. Just a thought.

These build videos are CRAZY GOOD and Satisfying to watch!!!
I'm curious as to how the EDF wires between the wing and nacelle will be handled. I can't believe they will be flapping in the breeze.
Thank you for taking the time to document what is already a herculean task.
Exterior conduit maybe?
Good question. Were they a temporary installation? Perhaps he'll cut a channel in the pylons? It's unlike Ramy to just leave them out.
@rcnfo1197 It is a head scratcher. He already patched the wing where the wires fit under and soldered/heat shrunk the wiring. If you cut into the nessel support, you weaken that. Severely I would think.
Absolutely AWESOME job!
Was surprised to see you didn’t put the motor hatches on the insides of the nacelles
I can't wait for this beast to fly!
I'm happy to see such rapid progress! This will be an airplane with real presence, I hope it flies half as good as it looks!
Ramy, you are a master. A pleasure to watch you work & create.
Really enjoying watching this build come together. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the landing gear in comparison to the C17 new build and restoration projects that are also being aired on RUclips
I have just found your channel and caught up. I am massively impressed with your teams fabrication techniques, precision, attention to detail and the scope of your project.
I am truly impressed, terrific skills and built quality
When finished with this one, you should build a C-5 at the same scale and blow your viewer's minds over the size comparison.
Awesome work Rami! Must be a dream to have such an amazing workspace and extra hands when you need them! Can't wait to see this BEAST take to the air! 🤩
Omg this project is so big. I cant wait to see the final product! Keep up the high quality work!
You need to do a colab with Cleetus McFarland!!! It is the cross over we all need and deserve.
Holy cows, these are massive wires! 11:28
Wow! Super skill! Can't wait to see it fly. 🤟😀
You are super excited, so am I. Totally amazing. Really envy your skills and enthusiasm. All the best. Mick. 🇬🇧
Excellent Craftsmanship!! Amazing work with that Carbon Fiber!!
it's going to be a heck of a beast, it's incredible how big it is thus far, I love the c-17
Each motor is $4500. When you add batteries in the 15-20,0000 mah range this is going to be much more expensive than if it had turbines.
This aircraft is looking amazing I can’t tell you enough to see the maiden flight 🙏🏼
Such a great project well done
At last someone using trollers and not just a brush. Well done. David
I don’t know how you will top this one Ramy it’s unreal can’t wait to see it in the air
On all of youtube - these are the videos i most look forward to - you guys are awesome
WOW!! Such a pleasure to watch these build videos. All the very best as you continue.
Whats the price of this going to be when finished? There's about 18 grand USD worth of fans there alone! Badass!!!!!
Those motors are HUGE!
Enjoying the entire series on the Globe Master. Would love to see you guys building a new concept plane, perhaps one we can follow building our own from home.
Insane build, can't wait for the next video
thats a f ----n cool project. i started building models in the mid 80s and i am amazed what is now state of the art. (materials, glues, printers) super
I'm here for this....I can't wait to see the end result and the maiden...and hear what it sounds like 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Another incredible fabulous inspirational model aircraft build to watch.
Excellent workmanship
I'm very excited to see it flying in sky
Can't wait to see you guys getter done and a flight test. 👍

Never stop doing this Mate!! Perfect for the last coffee at friday evening 💪🫡
the fact most people could fit into it if you lay down sideways is crazy, great work
Wow I have been watching your channel for a few years. I keep learning from your builds and enjoy your content.
I swear one of these builds he is going to be able to sit inside and actually fly it. Youre amazing man keep up this work!
Wow, truly amazing craftsmanship..Great job👍

Almost 20 grand worth of beautiful carbon fiber edf motors, awesome!
coming along nicely. Only thing that stands out is the power cables to the engines running outside the pylons in stead of inside.
This is AWESOME!!!
