It was very interesting to see, beforehand, the assembly of the massive SB4. It was strange to see no horizontal stabilizer or elevator; just an immense primary wing! The pilot did a superb job of flying the Short Sherpa. And once again, the demonstration was filmed professionally! Thank you!
I’ve always been fascinated by the SB4 and always wished to see it fly but all I ever saw was photos and articles - until now, albeit in RC form it looks every bit and no doubt flies every bit like the real thing. Wonderful project!
And the whole airplane is powered by this tiny propeller on his nose! What an advanced tech!😊😁😉 Beautyfull plane indeed,hats down to the constructor of the model.
Crazy choice for an rc build, a prototype plane that didn’t go into production, very interesing project. Looked liked it pitched a fair bit, perhaps a result of their experiments of doing without tail planes.
Wow! What an incredible model of a really interesting subject. I would think a smaller, cheaper model was built first to prove it would actually fly and determine things like c of g before committing to such a large model. Looked to fly well though in pretty difficult conditions.
Didn’t know but figured that could be the case ! there was just way too much ENGINEERING and demonstrated technical expertise to think the builder/designer would leave out a detail ! Das it’s Vondervull !!! Lol!!!
The original was an experimental airplane, mainly to test the characteristics of a special type of wing (look up the Wikipedia article, it's interesting!). A retractable landing gear was probably not deemed necessary to be able to test the wing.
wenn man mal gemau hinsieht erkennt man wie absolut übelst die Dinger zusammengepfuscht sind..unterirdisch..und bekommt auch noch eine Zulassung ? sind die Prüfer besoffen...?
@@RCFlyingDoc Ja das gleiche frage ich mich auch. Solche unqualifizierten Aussagen kommen meist nur von Leuten die sich nur China Hochglanz Fertigmodelle kaufen können...

What a beautiful example of a rarely modelled aircraft! Beautifully engineered and flown, well done!
Beautiful model of a really unusual experimental early jet
This was a treat! That cross-wind landing was masterful-congrats on a fantastic model!
Super einzigartiges Modell mit den besten Turbinen und sehr gut vor geflogen...
That was one hell of a crosswind on final approach.
Never saw anything like this before. Beautiful!
a very brave effort lads the sb4 scale well done this took a lot of courage bravo
I wish I had this pilot's crosswind landing skills. Awesome flight of an unusual model.
I would have thought it would need a much stranger wing tube arrangement for such heavy wings??? Super aircraft and flight.....
Wow! I enjoyed watching the whole thing!
Fantastic filming too!
Many thanks, I appreciate this very much 👍

you joing, right? :) 2 turbines inside aircraft.
😂😂😂,yes it is!
I'm speechless.😲👌
Really interesting cool aircraft
!!! WOW !!! and WOW !!!!!
This is amazing
Big bird and big wing I know. Just nice to see some scale fling!

Sweet!
Parabens belo modelo e que vou gracioso
Nice model. Never heard about the plane before. Elevons?

สุดยอดดด❤
Cool probably enough space for a real dwarf in there
Cool!
The wikipage doesn't explain enough about the "aero-isoclinic wing" it has, is there some better source that describes the details?
Wonder what became of that single production aircraft from 1954?
Big $$$
You know your model is large when you can see the control surface deflection from where you stand
wood around jet turbine???
The propeller looks to small 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Two nice turbines do the job 🥳
they forgot to mount the horizontal tail
The lack of a horizontal stabilizer is strange.
The propeller looks too small to allow it to take off?
It’s 2 jet engines bro haha
Fabulous - great model, building and videography👍
Thanks a lot 😎👍
What function has the mini motor in the nose?
In the original full size model it drives a generator
they need to create little locking couplers so you can fill up like the big boys. run mini fuel trucks use wing tanks to side fuselage connectors.
its hard to understand how such a small propellor can power something that size!
😇
Die Msst. Angabe kann kaum stimmen!?
Der Maßstab stimmt, bezogen auf die Originalgröße.
The front propeller is too small 😉🤣
I didn't see any substantial air intake for those tow turbines
i watched right to the end but couldnt find the crash does anyone have the time stamp for the crash?
watch again 😉

It looks a bit underpowered and should be upgraded with retractable gear. Very unique model and impressive piloting skills.
The original Sherpa had fixed undercarriage.
Didn’t know but figured that could be the case !
there was just way too much ENGINEERING and demonstrated technical expertise to think the builder/designer would leave out a detail !
Das it’s Vondervull !!! Lol!!!
da laufen vielleicht Grosskozue rum unfassbar...
something tells me this aint gona be around long
landing technique.....(release crabbing = o.k. / but don't let the jet settle down on the wrong wheel and as consequence the wingtip hits the rwy....)
it looks soo unstable.. keep practicing.. you will get better at your landings one day
I wonder why there is no self-retracting gear
The original did not have retracts.

Without main wing spar i think someday you will crash the plane
It does have wing spares just not what we’re used to. The mounting points are the spares

Sie sind offensichtlich ein Bauprofi, was haben sie denn so zu bieten an Eigenbauten?
