A truly impressive airplane. Sound is awesome. Ground-handling is extremely realistic with the suspension action . Did Carl ever add the four "burners", even as dummies (I know that all the prototypes didn't have the jets)?
That's one hell of an impressive R/C aircraft - dunno which would be more of an acheivement, actually having built it.. or mastering flying a scaled aircraft that size (especially in those winds), or merely managing to land it without an expensive 'oops' :) I suspect it brought a lot of pleasure all round, and it, it's creator/pilot sure deserved the applause and to be mightly proud of having been there and done it.
imho building them is by far the greater feat. I’ve been lucky enough to fly B-17s with 12ft wingspans out at Bomber Field in Monaville, Texas. It’s true flying a ship that size with four engines requires an advanced set of flying skills (though not as difficult as flying the faster jets such as those flown by the likes of Ali Macinchy, etc) building a plane of this kind requires the in depth mastery of a broad set of skills as well as attention to detail and above all dedication, persistence, and advanced problem solving skills.
There are many master scratch builders in the world and a great many live in North America. People who are masters in multiple fields which is required in building planes of this kind. Carl Bachuber is the best of the best. imho.
noticed that many RC planes that are long, or ones that have wing forms that are longitudinally challenged, dutch rolls quite a bit. Need a yaw damper.
It's a B-36B...the only the D model had the jet pods on the wingtips as well. There is a guy right now building a bigger model of this plane, 22' WS, and he' building it as a B-36D. Should fly by this fall.
All earlier models were later upgraded to at least the D Model level status by adding the extra jets. B-36Bs became RB-36E or B-36E when converted as an example.
brandon kogret It does not . . . take a listen to Strategic Air Command. One morning a B-36, lost in the fog, passed very low over downtown Fairfield, California. It broke just about every window on Texas Street. Dad was a flight engineer on the B-36. It made a sound like some unearthly winged dinosaur. A low note that rattled ever glass in the house. Once you heard it, you never forgot it.
I’m curious: why don’t the replicate the props on RC controlled airplanes. I’ve seen large scale B-29s with props with 2 blades ( the real ones have four). Also a lot of controllers (you can’t call them pilots) don’t know how to fly. I’ve seen so many stall B-25 replicas because they try to “flare” them like Naval Aviator on a Carrier Deck. A B-25 is not a B-17; they don’t land like a “tail dragged”. The are landed somewhat “ hot” on three points. I’ve never seen a B-47 replicated. I don’t think anyone could land it properly.
maybe some of thesepeop;e should be working on our space program. they might design a space craft that would take us to the moon and beyone. outstanding video.
what is it with models equipped with retracts...seems like more often than not the things dont work right. Here's this huge model that I'm sure was ridiculously expensive to construct, and the nosewheel is hanging out....jeeeez.
Beautiful plane but Christ! I hate two-stroke engines!!! They just sound like shit! either get some four-strokes that might fit, (not likely) or go with electric and put cards in the props or something!!! LOL! Six two strokers DO NOT SOUND GOOD at all! I'm sorry!
In the context of the time, there wasn't anything viable at the time. It was two-stroke or nothing. Electric was in its infancy and 4-stokes weren't yet large enough. He started this somewhere around 2006.
@@btomas225 Dude, there were definitely four stroke engines at the time! It is interesting though that even prop noise could drown out two stoke motors and still sound pretty good! My planes always sounded like shit and I couldn't afford anything better. I sucked as a pilot anyway... A hole in the ground is a hole in the ground.,..
That B-36 is an excellent model, thanks for sharing. I've only got 3 turning, and that is a handful for me. Well done to all concerned.
Gentlemen, as a hobbyist myself, this is nothing short of genius. and stunning just to watch the video. Bravo!!!
The More I see these fabulous planes in these videos the more I want to see. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful job in every respect. Thanks for sharing it!
Beautiful model and beautiful flight! Well done!
Getting and keeping those 6 engines running must be quite a handful. Sounds great, though!
Wow!! Nicely done on all fronts!!! I'm a 30 year RC pilot. That said I'd have been nervous flying/landing this big bird...
I grew up about 100 mi. from Carswell. I used to see the real things fly over our house back in the 50's and maybe 60's.
That is one sweet scale B-36. But the wind was definitely pushing it around. How fast were the gusts blowing?

wow, it does fly, well done guys

so cool , loved the landing

Beautiful airplane! Very impressive. But what happened to the front gear - stuck open?
there were a few modles and the county to county ones some of them had thos so make the trip and to get out of the blast zone

the sound of it is so beautiful, it sounds just like the authentic WW2 bombers! Hope he does not crash it one day.

Jet pods were on the B-36D and later.
i saw six turning, but where are the four burning?

And this exact B-36 (BM-028) in real life didn't have them...
I don't know, but fast enough to push a
19' B-36 around.
can you hand throw it or...
@theedrstrangelove EXACTLY i was wondering the same thing

To work on outer space programs you have to have credentials coming our of your yahoo.
Yes, it needs four jet engines to be complete. And maybe an XF-85 Goblin.
what is it with models equipped with retracts...seems like more often than not the things dont work right. Here's this huge model that I'm sure was ridiculously expensive to construct, and the nosewheel is hanging out....jeeeez.
@vector6977 ya it was a joke obvi
@1212dgriff good luck with that! This weighs over 100 pounds.
Nose gear didn't retract properly.
Nope, the early ones didn't have them :)
Needs serious rudder/Aileron mixing and maybe a Gyro.
its missing its 4 jets
Looks a bit cumbersome in the air.
it sounds like a lawnmover

If you have gone to all that expense to have a scale B-36 you have to install radial engines. Hate the two stroke sound.
In the context of the time, there wasn't anything viable at the time. It was two-stroke or nothing. Electric was in its infancy and 4-stokes weren't yet large enough. He started this somewhere around 2006.
