Hello Ramy! When it comes to the battery and electronics latch, you could have considered a redundant design where it opens in the opposite direction, thus meaning a failure of the latch wouldn't lead to it flipping open mid flight as the air flowing over it would keep it more-or-less closed. Just my thoughts. Fantastic build regardless!
@@fanflv This guy has skills that I can only dream of as a large-scale scratch-builder, so I assume that he had a good reason for hinging that access panel at the back. But nothing about that board/battery tray would need to be hinged at the rear for access purposes, even if he was planning on modelling a cockpit. I'd love to hear from the man himself, (and I doubt I will) but I would guess that it was to increase the width between the hinges for strength? I need to know, because ths really seems like a nonsensical choice.
I’ve been flying RC for over 42 years and always thought about building a plane big enough to lay down in. Funtastic work guys. Can’t wait to see it fly and see what’s next.
Thank you Rami for the magnificent plane. I live in Ukraine and before the war I was involved in aircraft modeling; I learned many interesting techniques for building aircraft models from you. Now I can’t launch model airplanes because of the war, but I don’t lose heart and watch your channel and rejoice at your successes. Thank you.
I don't know your situation or how close you are to the fighting, but from the widespread usage of RC drones for this war, I'd wager you have a real opportunity to make a difference for your fellow countrymen. Even if your circumstances preclude your direct participation, you could probably make a difference offering your services in training troops in the maintenance and use of RC drones. Either way, shitty situation, wishing you the best of luck, and voting to keep my nation's leaders on track supporting your nation's defense. You guys got this, and we've got your backs.
I hope you stopped by my FOB. I was working an airfield in northern Iraq in 2003. My guess is that you passed through FOB Warrior at some point. Best DFAC in the AOR... Not even kidding about that. Thanks for your service my brother in arms!
This has to be among the largest and most powerful rc plane in the world rn, Rammy, Perry and the team are really doing a great job... Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪

I put my first 14 ounce LJ-50 (Learjet) in the air in 2001 and here you are 23 years later, making a plane to carry animals around the North Georgia mountains! Best wishes on all you do. God Bless.
Obviously, this is your business; not just a hobby. I am retired and have an outdoor G-Scale railroad with battery powered engines and radio control. You are light-years ahead of the model railroad industry. Absolutely amazing process to watch. Thx.

Incredible work as usual Ramy! Shout out to Mr Perry, what a gorgeous property, looks like a peaceful place to be and enjoy flying. Can't wait for first flight upload, then completion when real gear and livery applied!
I remember that was 8 years ago. There I enthusiastically watched the video of a Ramy who built an A330-300. Even back then I was excited and subscribed to your channel. I think you still had around 300 subscribers. I have been able to witness how your model and your channel have continued to grow and I would just like to say thank you Ramy. Thank you for the 8 years in which you built so many models, even having to bleed here and there when you crashed. Thank you Ramy and many greetings from Bad König. PS Ja klar hätte ich es auch in Deutsch schreiben können aber dann würden alle Englischsprachigen Abonenten nichts von haben was mir auf dem Herzen lag.
The fact that Tyler Perry commisioned Ramy to build him a one off C17 is just the best thing. Who woulda ever thought we'd see this collab 😍 what's next?!
that's the way to start a week, got the food for lunch, got back from university, have some spare time before exams, Ramy dropped new video, life's good man!
Dear Ramy!No words..... Ramy on a magic carpet !!!!!!Congrats on living a dream, beautiful work!!! I am watching you from the begining, it is nice to see your path, so many nice models and so much joy and no words on advancing in technology!!All the best Ramy enjoy!!!
The build and size of this thing itself is already crazy. But those electric turbofan's power and thrust is unbelievable to think how strong and powerful they are.😲
It's looking great, what a fantastic 'plane, can't wait to see her flying. That hatch, why didn't you hinge it at the front so that it couldn't fly open. It's such a obvious thing to do that there must be a reason why you didn't.
Now we need to stick a seat right in the centre of gravity and then you gotta sit on it and fly on top of it. Great job awesome. for the big day maiden flight ✈️ 😂😂😂👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Wow, a 6-meter C-17 Globemaster RC airplane getting ready for its first flight sounds absolutely thrilling! The C-17 Globemaster is such an iconic aircraft, and seeing it replicated as a large-scale RC model must be a remarkable sight. The engineering and skill involved in creating and flying a model of this size are truly impressive. The anticipation of the first flight adds an extra layer of excitement. I bet the experience of watching this model take to the skies will be unforgettable! Wishing smooth skies and a successful maiden flight! 🛫✨
@Ramy, outstanding build. Make this aircraft FPV ready, so that you are not attaching runcams to the outside. The view from the cockpit would be amazing.
Amazing project! That top-hatch WILL open at some point, WHEN the latch fails. There is lift along the top, and you will then get a giant speedbrake. With your experience there must be a reason for hinges aft. Good luck!
I 'm not an RC plane hobbyist or in aviation and I thought the same. My guess for the aft hinge is because if it opened forward it might get in the way while doing work in the plane. I think a front hinge with the ability to easily remove the entire hatch when doing extensive work inside would have been a good compromise.
Well done Ramsey. When you and your crew was taking the c-17 out of the hangar, the lighting and interior look like a full scale assembly line production with roll out. You even had to wing walk the aircraft for clearance at the doorway because of its size. It’s all about teamwork that made this project possible. Can’t wait to see as it lift off on first flight. Plenty of power for flight.
I love the anhedral wings on the globemaster. Pretty sure they’re there to reduce static loads because it can’t roll unless there is an instability. I wonder how those aerodynamics scale to RC.
Me and my friends built this too, used 4 jets instead of ducted fans, Kevlar composites on aluminum structure, hydraulics here and there with electros. Getting the landing gear to look right was a pain! It was a HUGE 1:1 scale! Really turned some heads. What a ride! Amazing job with yours!
That shop! Beautiful paved runway! An RC modelers wet dream! Such a far, far cry from the old Goldberg balsa 3-4 channel planes I used to build . Makes me feel sooo old!
@@randomnickify I don't see how placing the hinge point on the forward edge of the hatch could possibly limit access any more than the current configuration. What do you mean?
So T.P., have you like kidnapped Ramy and keeping him in a cabinet in your hanger?? Absolutely amazing model. Ramy, I followed your first or I guess one of your first online builds, the 120mm red and white Viper jet. As a scratch builder myself I thought it to be an odd approach to building a model, however I saw the potential of the method. I have to say you have become a pure genius in model aviation, and after 35 years of model building, I hope to one day be as talented as you when I grow up. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge you have shared with the community. P.S. Tyler, One day please release Ramy back into the wild. Truly incredible guys, I can't wait to see what's next
Great video Ramy. Amazing your building techniques, your knowledge of this plane. I can’t believe you carrying your weight, and speed. All electric plane. I have seen same size turbine, not electric motors. Impressive. Can’t wait to see maiden flight.
I am really happy because I saw this video, and when I watched it I saw that you all did a really really good job with the plane. I would like to see it in person but yeah I'm too far away from you. Well done guys!!! It's really cool to see your videos!!!! I will be waiting for the next video P.D.: 14:26 one of my favourites parts, and 14:44 amazing when it accelerates
so crazy to think... started making videos in a little shop making cool planes to working with Tyler Perry making the most epic plane ever... way to go man!!
Props to Ramy, Tyler, and Ramy’s Patreon supporters for allowing us all to experience what it is like to enjoy our beloved hobby of RC with essentially unlimited resources. This is what we would be doing if we won the lottery. There should be more lotteries.
I love that plane. True story. I made hundreds of tailcones for real C-17s. Because it's very tough but flexible material, as well as thin walled, and cone shaped it was very difficult to hold for standard braised carbide cutting. It has to be held from the inside because the machine is outside. It chattered, and tended to break expensive carbide cutters. $80 each in 1992. It would break 1 sometimes 2 per cone. Often it would chatter loose, and have to be reset. It was a loss leader in the industry so the contractor could maintain contact with Boeing for the big contracts. Competing contractors underbid on the cone contract but we got it for a price of $60 each. But it is a hot potato in the aviation industry. Contractors do it for a while then let some other contractor take the loss for a while. Same with us. Other contractors tried ultrasound, lasers, and high pressure water jets. Couldn't do it for a profit. Before I started making them we put only the most experienced machinists on them. They used $80 880 braised carbide. Pain in the ass. Came loose, broke carbides. They gripped about it all the time. Never gave me the job because I was the new guy. Been there a while I tell the shop foreman, who often had to do the job himself, over lunch "I'm tired of hearing you guys gripping about those tailcones." "Give it to me I'll figure it out. As far as you're concerned it's my favorite job, and you'll never hear a gripe about it again. He said "You're on.", and it was a pain in the ass. I did the job for 3 months before I figured it out. I invented a mod of the fixture. I was able to double production. I was able to use a $60 660 braised carbide, and made 10 cones with one tool before repeated sharpening wore it down to a nub, and even then nub would cut. Our cost there alone went from $80 each when one carbide usually broke, and $160 if 2 did to my cost of $6 each in carbide cost, and half the overhead. For the first time in aviation history I delivered on the contract at a profit. It made the job much easier for me too. It really did become my favorite job. That even became the company's nickname for the job. "My Favorite Job.". Whenever a load of tailcones came in the foreman said " 'Your Favorite Job' is here.". I asked him once if he was joking with me that it was a pain in the ass for everybody else, and that it really is my favorite job. He said he knows it's my favorite job because I so good at it. The thing I made works. A little prodding got him to say I was making it at a profit, and the owners appreciated it. He only put someone else on the job when he had a hotter job for me. One of which was a big Boeing contract we were hoping for. The 777 fuselage turning fixture. Boeing requested I be assigned the job. No customer had ever requested a particular machinist before in the company. It was my work on the tailcones that got us the job, and me requested. Boeing had become skeptical that we were producing good parts because we consistently won the contract with the lowest bid. They suspected the invention I used, and had to check the cones. So Boeing bought a $12,000 1'x4'x4' flat standard. Precision ground from granite to check the geometry against. I heard there was a bet. If my cones failed inspection we would pay for the flat, and keep it. But if my cones passed Boeing paid for it, and we keep it. The inspector shows up one day. I say "So we just grab one at random right?". He sad "That sounds like a good idea.". I know I got him eating out of my hand already. But I plop it down on the flat, he grabs the height micrometer, and starts to measure the length. I say "you have to...". He cuts me off saying "I want to check this first.". I say "Ok". Right away he's saying "It's off. I tell him it's off because it's cone shaped, and thin walled like a Dixie cup, a water cooler cup. If you squeeze it out of round that end becomes rounded. The cone is out of round and it's rocking on the flat, and I showed him the rocking. He asks what we do about it. I point out we're not responsible for it being round, and no tailcone ever will be. But if the mating part is flat it will push the cone flat, and round. That eased his mind. We just have to push it against the flat to get a rock solid measurement. He said I'll buy that.". So I lead him through all the measuring tools, extensions for the fixed jaw of the micrometer, using the standards that come with it to zero the dial. Hight gauge then "miked" with an inside mike which is checked against the outside mike. I'm teaching the inspector how to inspect it, and convincing him it's the right way, and we're getting rock solid measurements. Everybody's having a good time throwing up clay pigeons to watch me shoot them all down. Last we get to the diameter of the big end of the cone. I Show him how to press the cone on the corner of the flat so 180 degrees is off the flat so it can be measured with the micrometer. He notices it's on the low side of the tolerance. I had a spec of +- .0025", .005" total. That means I cut too high on the taper. I say "No I didn't.". He's all smiles "I gotta hear it. I know you got something.". I point out on the print it says "De burr". I say "You gotta give me at least a thousandth." A human hair is 1 to 3. He says he'll buy that but it's still on the low. I say but it's a thousandth on this side, and a thousandth on the other putting it within half a thousandth of spec. Right? He gets it, and I say turn it 90 degrees to get the round, but he says we don't have to do that he's convinced I know what I'm doing. I say we're done then? Yes. I still want to measure it for myself. He asks how that could be off if all the others are right on. I explain while I measure it could be off the conical axis. That could cause the length to be correct, and at all points parallel to both ends but this diameter might not be round. It could an elliptical, conic section. He understood that. and the cone was ok. He asked how that might happen. I reminded him about how it can chatter loose, and have to be reset where it could, and likely would be a little off. Probably not significantly, and it never pulls loose on me. He was so impressed with me Boeing requested I machine the 777 fuselage turning fixture, and tried to reverse engineer my tailcone fixture invention to modify the fixture for the tailcones of the largest jet engines ever built to this day. I invented modifications when I made the 777. It was so good when Boeing took it to their plant to assemble it went together overnight. The Los Angeles Times ran a front page story, with a full color picture, that neighboring residents were calling police about this huge piece of machinery suddenly appearing practically in their back yards. They were reporting they thought some huge machine had crashed. One said "It popped up overnight like a mushroom.". What I couldn't know then was the historic records the 777 would accumulate. Best selling airliner in aviation history. 2200 sold 1600 delivered. The 747 just ended its 50 year production run with 1800 delivered. The last 747 that will ever be delivered. The 777, in 29 years, with 1600 now flying it has not had a single mass fatality accident. One Malaysian Airlines was shot down, and one Malaysian Airlines was lost, disappeared by suspected hijacking. Those don't count. They're not accidents. Coincidentally or not that door plug that popped out of a 737 recently was from a fuselage of Malaysian manufacture. Compare that safety record to other airliners that have multiple crashes, and fewer planes. Ball park of 2 to 8 years to just the first crash of all the other jumbo jets. Ball park of 60,000 lives were saved by flying on my plane that would have been lost in the same 30 years flying on other planes. My inventions can be applied throughout the aviation industry for 2 orders of magnitude increase in safety. That's 100 times safer. When I started posting in 2008 in comments about Boeing on TH-cam l mostly wrote about the tailcones. A little about the fuselage but it didn't yet have the phenomenal history it now has. Shortly after Boeing, I suspect to distance themselves from my contributions, built a secret robot fuselage assembly plant to make the 777X without my fixture. Am I a paranoid delusional "flying saucer nut"? Secret robot assembly plant for Pete's sake. Well I'm not the one who spent billions to build a secret robot assembly plant. You can look it up. They said it was to reduce costs but it didn't. Around 20 16-17 they dismantled my 777 fixture. My fixture made 777s which passed the FAA mandated 150% over maximum expected load test with 154%. The test is also called "testing to destruction". Having so far passed the test my 777 was not tested to destruction. How much more it could have taken we may never know. I heard it's on display somewhere. The 777X built in the secret robot assembly plant failed explosively at 149% of maximum expected load. It's been reported the secret robot assembly plant has now been dismantled. Boeing missed the 2019 delivery originally scheduled for the 777X. Failure after failure has repeatedly pushed back the delivery date to now 2025. Again, I'm not the one who spent billions on a failed secret robot assembly plant. Boeing does not mention in advertising the 777 is so much safer, though you'd think they should, and would, because the question would arise why their other planes are not so safe. They would have to admit they don't know why. That's because they don't know how I did it. Pass this along. I cannot take responsibility for the safety of the 777X unless I can inspect or remanufacture my fixture if it was scrapped. The C-17, and the Triple Seven. I dearly love those planes.
Congrats My friend Ramy that is amazing build. Please before maiden can you consider few points 1- the 4 ESC needs Airflow ventilation because they will accumulate very high temperature during the flight 2- please consider installing the ESC's underwings or inside the tunnel of the engines behind the ducted fan That's my advice wish you all the best
An unreal plane. I'm rooting for you and wish you success with your trip and I can't wait to see the video. But you can see the precision work when you did the load test from yourself on the fuselage 😀
robust construction throughout ... you are an expert! great builds and great channel! I found it amusing that you crawled into the front end of the fuselage.
Felicidades mi Amigo Ramy y ese gtan equipo de ingenieros son muy talentosos , magnifica construccion ,nuestro piloto se ve pequeño al lado de esta preciosa nave ,muchas gracias por tú tiempo dedicado a esta construccion espero ver el vuelo inagural feliz dia Amigos
Re comments on the hatch hinge placement, looking at the position of the wings, the access required and maintaining the CG, it had to be put that way otherwise access would be a nightmare. Hatches can be designed to not open in flight as Im sure this one will be. The carbon fibre looks awesome, no paint required.
Stay tuned for the maiden flight next Monday!

Amazing job with yours!
EPIC. I bet Tyler will be nervous as heck when he maidens it
I am “chomping at the bit” waiting on her maiden flight!!
You guys have made an awesome plane!!
Blue Skies!!
Watch the FAA notices this! Lol. Amazing job fella’s!
Remy.... That is absolutely AMAZING! Great work and creativity!!
Next Project: Build a Plane to actually go inside the cockpit
Did you mean to put the Plane inside the Cargo hold? lol
Wow I have been following since the days of depron. Your skills are legendary. Huge thumbs up.
Can the plane fly with you?
Fr I would just lay down on the inside of it lol
No
Does he have a war head?! No, he has a normal head.
I can see you and Tyler both being perfectionists in this project, I admire you both.
Ramy to A380 : I can sit on it!
Ramy to C17 : I can taxi on it!
Ramy to his next project : I can fly on it??
peter sptripol joins the team
I get exited every time a new Ramy RC video shows up. Keep up the great work and awesome planes.
That shop! Beautiful paved runway! An RC modelers wet dream! Such a far, far cry from the old Goldberg balsa 3-4 channel planes I used to build . Makes me feel sooo old!
Lol an actual pilots wet dream
I think this is Tyler Perry's runway that he shares with Remi. Great duo for the RC community.
One more example of the awesomeness of men. I thought the plane was nuts but then I seen the runway. What a crazy setup...subscribed!!!
Why would you not hinge the hatch at the front so airflow will prevent a catastrophic event in case of latch failure?
The hinge placement seems like a really silly decision. It's not too late to fix it!
Hatch will be blocking access to the interior, it's almost at the wings level.
@@randomnickify I don't see how placing the hinge point on the forward edge of the hatch could possibly limit access any more than the current configuration. What do you mean?
Remy has built most of his planes this way. He must have a resin.
Wow!!! That is incredible craftsmanship!!! The airplane is simply amazing!!!
Awesome. Gonna be a lot of low pressure on that hatch
I was surprised that it was not hinged at the front rather than the back
Nice work! It was great to see the special gear get installed. And then the maiden flight. Awesome
Go Ramy go! You're also the first person I've ever seen who rides on his model airplane!
Wow! Great Airplanes, and that shop is fantastic. Plus, having Tyler Perry help makes that kind of project possible.
Big bro Tyler got a new hobby! Forget them haters. We're in a different realm.
You are an amazing modelmaker.........I applaud your skills....Good luck with the maiden.
So T.P., have you like kidnapped Ramy and keeping him in a cabinet in your hanger?? Absolutely amazing model. Ramy, I followed your first or I guess one of your first online builds, the 120mm red and white Viper jet. As a scratch builder myself I thought it to be an odd approach to building a model, however I saw the potential of the method. I have to say you have become a pure genius in model aviation, and after 35 years of model building, I hope to one day be as talented as you when I grow up. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge you have shared with the community. P.S. Tyler, One day please release Ramy back into the wild. Truly incredible guys, I can't wait to see what's next
Great video Ramy. Amazing your building techniques, your knowledge of this plane. I can’t believe you carrying your weight, and speed. All electric plane. I have seen same size turbine, not electric motors. Impressive. Can’t wait to see maiden flight.
Big fan of your work since 2019🙏🫡 Love from India ❤
What to say? Well Done! Awesome! So Thankful there are still people around that let you do what you do! Imagination...Lets Do It!
These RC planes are getting ridiculously BIG! I bet this one is as big as a trainer airplane!
AMAZING!!!! Can't wait to see her airborne! Your teaser at the end was so mean ;)
Man, my hat's off to you and the team. Y'all knocked it out of the park with this one. I'm sure it's a good flier.
15:18 "there you go, your speed brakes"... I'm dead! 😂🤣😆😆😆
I am really happy because I saw this video, and when I watched it I saw that you all did a really really good job with the plane. I would like to see it in person but yeah I'm too far away from you.
Well done guys!!! It's really cool to see your videos!!!!
I will be waiting for the next video
P.D.: 14:26 one of my favourites parts, and 14:44 amazing when it accelerates
What a nice big "airbrake" hatch. 😃 The whole plane is amazing craftsmanship.
That is a fantastically huge plane. Looks beautifully. Can't wait until it has all its landing gear and gets painted.
Fred Weaver
Thank God for Tyler perry and his ambitious collection pushing the hobby further...ramy has decades of work to do for him
so crazy to think... started making videos in a little shop making cool planes to working with Tyler Perry making the most epic plane ever... way to go man!!
Excellent work, one suggestion, any hatch doors I'd hinge the front just in case the latching system fails the door won't become a giant airbrake.
Props to Ramy, Tyler, and Ramy’s Patreon supporters for allowing us all to experience what it is like to enjoy our beloved hobby of RC with essentially unlimited resources. This is what we would be doing if we won the lottery. There should be more lotteries.
When an Artist finds his Patron, you get the Sistine Chapel. 🤩
I love that plane. True story. I made hundreds of tailcones for real C-17s. Because it's very tough but flexible material, as well as thin walled, and cone shaped it was very difficult to hold for standard braised carbide cutting. It has to be held from the inside because the machine is outside. It chattered, and tended to break expensive carbide cutters. $80 each in 1992. It would break 1 sometimes 2 per cone. Often it would chatter loose, and have to be reset.
It was a loss leader in the industry so the contractor could maintain contact with Boeing for the big contracts. Competing contractors underbid on the cone contract but we got it for a price of $60 each. But it is a hot potato in the aviation industry. Contractors do it for a while then let some other contractor take the loss for a while. Same with us. Other contractors tried ultrasound, lasers, and high pressure water jets. Couldn't do it for a profit.
Before I started making them we put only the most experienced machinists on them. They used $80 880 braised carbide. Pain in the ass. Came loose, broke carbides. They gripped about it all the time. Never gave me the job because I was the new guy.
Been there a while I tell the shop foreman, who often had to do the job himself, over lunch "I'm tired of hearing you guys gripping about those tailcones." "Give it to me I'll figure it out. As far as you're concerned it's my favorite job, and you'll never hear a gripe about it again.
He said "You're on.", and it was a pain in the ass. I did the job for 3 months before I figured it out.
I invented a mod of the fixture. I was able to double production. I was able to use a $60 660 braised carbide, and made 10 cones with one tool before repeated sharpening wore it down to a nub, and even then nub would cut. Our cost there alone went from $80 each when one carbide usually broke, and $160 if 2 did to my cost of $6 each in carbide cost, and half the overhead. For the first time in aviation history I delivered on the contract at a profit.
It made the job much easier for me too. It really did become my favorite job. That even became the company's nickname for the job. "My Favorite Job.". Whenever a load of tailcones came in the foreman said " 'Your Favorite Job' is here.". I asked him once if he was joking with me that it was a pain in the ass for everybody else, and that it really is my favorite job. He said he knows it's my favorite job because I so good at it. The thing I made works. A little prodding got him to say I was making it at a profit, and the owners appreciated it. He only put someone else on the job when he had a hotter job for me.
One of which was a big Boeing contract we were hoping for. The 777 fuselage turning fixture. Boeing requested I be assigned the job. No customer had ever requested a particular machinist before in the company. It was my work on the tailcones that got us the job, and me requested.
Boeing had become skeptical that we were producing good parts because we consistently won the contract with the lowest bid. They suspected the invention I used, and had to check the cones. So Boeing bought a $12,000 1'x4'x4' flat standard. Precision ground from granite to check the geometry against. I heard there was a bet. If my cones failed inspection we would pay for the flat, and keep it. But if my cones passed Boeing paid for it, and we keep it.
The inspector shows up one day. I say "So we just grab one at random right?". He sad "That sounds like a good idea.". I know I got him eating out of my hand already. But I plop it down on the flat, he grabs the height micrometer, and starts to measure the length. I say "you have to...". He cuts me off saying "I want to check this first.". I say "Ok". Right away he's saying "It's off. I tell him it's off because it's cone shaped, and thin walled like a Dixie cup, a water cooler cup. If you squeeze it out of round that end becomes rounded. The cone is out of round and it's rocking on the flat, and I showed him the rocking. He asks what we do about it. I point out we're not responsible for it being round, and no tailcone ever will be. But if the mating part is flat it will push the cone flat, and round. That eased his mind. We just have to push it against the flat to get a rock solid measurement. He said I'll buy that.".
So I lead him through all the measuring tools, extensions for the fixed jaw of the micrometer, using the standards that come with it to zero the dial. Hight gauge then "miked" with an inside mike which is checked against the outside mike. I'm teaching the inspector how to inspect it, and convincing him it's the right way, and we're getting rock solid measurements. Everybody's having a good time throwing up clay pigeons to watch me shoot them all down. Last we get to the diameter of the big end of the cone. I Show him how to press the cone on the corner of the flat so 180 degrees is off the flat so it can be measured with the micrometer. He notices it's on the low side of the tolerance. I had a spec of +- .0025", .005" total. That means I cut too high on the taper. I say "No I didn't.". He's all smiles "I gotta hear it. I know you got something.". I point out on the print it says "De burr". I say "You gotta give me at least a thousandth." A human hair is 1 to 3. He says he'll buy that but it's still on the low. I say but it's a thousandth on this side, and a thousandth on the other putting it within half a thousandth of spec. Right? He gets it, and I say turn it 90 degrees to get the round, but he says we don't have to do that he's convinced I know what I'm doing. I say we're done then? Yes. I still want to measure it for myself. He asks how that could be off if all the others are right on. I explain while I measure it could be off the conical axis. That could cause the length to be correct, and at all points parallel to both ends but this diameter might not be round. It could an elliptical, conic section. He understood that. and the cone was ok. He asked how that might happen. I reminded him about how it can chatter loose, and have to be reset where it could, and likely would be a little off. Probably not significantly, and it never pulls loose on me.
He was so impressed with me Boeing requested I machine the 777 fuselage turning fixture, and tried to reverse engineer my tailcone fixture invention to modify the fixture for the tailcones of the largest jet engines ever built to this day.
I invented modifications when I made the 777. It was so good when Boeing took it to their plant to assemble it went together overnight. The Los Angeles Times ran a front page story, with a full color picture, that neighboring residents were calling police about this huge piece of machinery suddenly appearing practically in their back yards. They were reporting they thought some huge machine had crashed. One said "It popped up overnight like a mushroom.".
What I couldn't know then was the historic records the 777 would accumulate. Best selling airliner in aviation history. 2200 sold 1600 delivered. The 747 just ended its 50 year production run with 1800 delivered. The last 747 that will ever be delivered. The 777, in 29 years, with 1600 now flying it has not had a single mass fatality accident. One Malaysian Airlines was shot down, and one Malaysian Airlines was lost, disappeared by suspected hijacking. Those don't count. They're not accidents. Coincidentally or not that door plug that popped out of a 737 recently was from a fuselage of Malaysian manufacture.
Compare that safety record to other airliners that have multiple crashes, and fewer planes. Ball park of 2 to 8 years to just the first crash of all the other jumbo jets. Ball park of 60,000 lives were saved by flying on my plane that would have been lost in the same 30 years flying on other planes. My inventions can be applied throughout the aviation industry for 2 orders of magnitude increase in safety. That's 100 times safer.
When I started posting in 2008 in comments about Boeing on TH-cam l mostly wrote about the tailcones. A little about the fuselage but it didn't yet have the phenomenal history it now has. Shortly after Boeing, I suspect to distance themselves from my contributions, built a secret robot fuselage assembly plant to make the 777X without my fixture. Am I a paranoid delusional "flying saucer nut"? Secret robot assembly plant for Pete's sake. Well I'm not the one who spent billions to build a secret robot assembly plant. You can look it up. They said it was to reduce costs but it didn't. Around 20 16-17 they dismantled my 777 fixture. My fixture made 777s which passed the FAA mandated 150% over maximum expected load test with 154%. The test is also called "testing to destruction". Having so far passed the test my 777 was not tested to destruction. How much more it could have taken we may never know. I heard it's on display somewhere. The 777X built in the secret robot assembly plant failed explosively at 149% of maximum expected load. It's been reported the secret robot assembly plant has now been dismantled. Boeing missed the 2019 delivery originally scheduled for the 777X. Failure after failure has repeatedly pushed back the delivery date to now 2025.
Again, I'm not the one who spent billions on a failed secret robot assembly plant.
Boeing does not mention in advertising the 777 is so much safer, though you'd think they should, and would, because the question would arise why their other planes are not so safe. They would have to admit they don't know why. That's because they don't know how I did it.
Pass this along.
I cannot take responsibility for the safety of the 777X unless I can inspect or remanufacture my fixture if it was scrapped.
The C-17, and the Triple Seven. I dearly love those planes.
Whoa, that CG looks pretty far back - until you take the wing sweep into account. Well done. What a project - BRAVO!
Congrats My friend Ramy that is amazing build.
Please before maiden can you consider few points
1- the 4 ESC needs Airflow ventilation because they will accumulate very high temperature during the flight
2- please consider installing the ESC's underwings or inside the tunnel of the engines behind the ducted fan That's my advice wish you all the best
It’s crazy how good this man is at his trade, a true master of his craft
Next time build a 1-10 scale fighter jet Ramy, I know you've got it in you.
Congratulations on the grobetotter build simple perfect and beautiful 👏👏👏
Excellent build. I particularly like the airbrake/top hatch... lets hope the latch isn't a single point of failure 😮😮
Thank you, Tyler, for allowing Ramy to come to your home to collaborate on building these planes and share this experience with you.
Awesome, great work. I've been following your work for a long time and I'm always impressed.
I wish you all the best for your maiden flight.
You are building a beauty. Tyler must be enamored by it, you could fit kids into it!
Massive and huge, what an insane build. Cheers 👍💪✌
Wow .... this is a beauty .... the power of those jets .... watching this beast fly Is going to be a real treat ....❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 ....
Your skills has blossomed over the years! Very impressed. Well done.
Love your videos. Amazing work!
I can't wait for the next video, great job🔥
It's incredible how far you've come from where you started....
Boeing execs probably watching and taking notes on how to keep the plug door attached without using bolts.
Yes, I think you have enough power for flight! Outstanding work
That is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! WOW RAMY OUTSTANDING!!! 😮
An unreal plane. I'm rooting for you and wish you success with your trip and I can't wait to see the video. But you can see the precision work when you did the load test from yourself on the fuselage 😀
robust construction throughout ... you are an expert! great builds and great channel! I found it amusing that you crawled into the front end of the fuselage.
Taxie the C-17 on the runway with Tyler in the cargo bay.😁😂
I'll bet the neighbors love him😂😂😂
He has a mansion 😂
@imadben6522 tell us something else we don't know. Its a sarcastic statement 🤣😆😂
This guy is an artist. Nothing short of amazing.
Felicidades mi Amigo Ramy y ese gtan equipo de ingenieros son muy talentosos , magnifica construccion ,nuestro piloto se ve pequeño al lado de esta preciosa nave ,muchas gracias por tú tiempo dedicado a esta construccion espero ver el vuelo inagural feliz dia Amigos
I'm so hyped for the maiden flight, can't imagine the pressure not to mess up but you got it!
Re comments on the hatch hinge placement, looking at the position of the wings, the access required and maintaining the CG, it had to be put that way otherwise access would be a nightmare. Hatches can be designed to not open in flight as Im sure this one will be.
The carbon fibre looks awesome, no paint required.
This is the most phenomenal project you have created yet 🙌✈️✈️
