Essential GREAT FLYING SKILLS, even in high wind conditions! I'd like to see you post another video in ideal flying conditions, clear blue sky, no wind. But not impressed with stunts that "REAL" airplanes could NEVER perform.
@@kevintucker3354 yet same size as a kawasaki js550 engine. Which carries a person just fine. A 125 is more than enough to scoot you along at highway speeds even.
Awesome plane! Some of the best RC flying & maneuvers I’ve ever seen!!! First time I ever saw an RC plane fly backwards, and at a few feet above the ground!
WOW... a 55% scale 3D-performing 'model'! A gorgeous plane and skilled pilot is such a great combination to watch. Great sounding engine also. OTOH, when the models are that big, they're scary knowing that nothing is perfect and nice soft landings aren't always in the cards. And for a little more money, he could have built a homebuilt and experienced flying for real. Of course, I was flying RC models when I wasn't boring holes in the sky myself, and love both, so I'm not putting down RC flying. Anyway, he should be proud!
Everyone has an opinion . So here is mine . Of all of the RC Aircraft of this scale that i have watched on TH-cam . This has to be the Best yet . Both the Pilot and Aircraft are truly amazing . Excellent Post .
I haven’t looked through the comments, so I don’t know if anyone else was waiting for a prop strike like 3-4 times!!! Mercy! The EMT in me was tingling a couple times!
Très belle démonstration de ce yak 54 Avec un excellent pilote qui ne doit pas être à sa première heure de vol. Tenir ce très gros modèle au ras du sol aux grands angles, et en jouant sur les gaz l'avion suspendu à l'helice manifestement travail d'un expert Grand bravo
It would interesting to have three cameras. One filming the plane, one on the plane, and one filming the radio remote control while it's being manipulated. Then edit it all together.
I like the way he made the engine himself etc. That is a mad level of skill, especially for it to be able to do what it can. Insane machine. Loved it :~)
Holy cow! Look at the size of that plane. You could put a small child or adult in that thing and give them the ride of their life. Of course, you would have to hate either choice as a human being. Beautiful plane and excellent pilot, non the less.
The bigger the plane, the easier they are to control. By far, the easiest plane to fly is the one you are in the pilot's seat. They really are easier to fly. Problem is, YOU are in the plane with quite abit more to lose than an RC plane. What's a thousand or more compared to your LIFE? In RC, you can fly anything. Owning a full size plane depends on how deep your pockets are!
Amazing! Only one question though! For all the time and money spent on such a project, why not build a full sized one to fly yourself inside? Beautiful workmanship! And amazing capabilities.
Ones about $3000 the other is tens of thousands and requires a ahit ton of government forced taxation and licensing fees. BTW most rc pilots are real pilots. They fly RC as a hobby for fun. Not much if any risk involved
I'll never understand the mentality of a model airplane this big. Sure, bigger does fly better. But at what point do we say, "Enough is enough."? Think about the hassle of owning and operating this monster. Storage, transport, assembly and disassembly at the field, etc. It's a logistical nightmare. I'll stick to my "normal" sized models, thank you very much. I'm having a ball!
well to get more real experience of flying real plane !!! mass, air density, speed ... it all changes a lot with scale up. actyaly it fly harder ... for smaller lighter plane air feels more dense you can perform a lot of tricks like bug ... for bigger plane air seems thicker harder to keep in sky ... you see how it wobbles when he try slow flying ... with smaller 3d plane you can do easy all kind on weird stuff with bigger one even material strenght goes down you need to bee avare to not brake airframe ...
+Martins Abilevs I've been building and flying R/C aircraft for over 35 years. I don't much care for 3D flying. I prefer to fly like full-size planes. But thanks for your input.
That's some fine rudder work... it seemed to just muscle its way through what appeared to be a pretty stiff wind, with enough authority to climb vertical at a moments notice...Thanks for the vid
Good to hear you enjoyed. We're starting our flying season officially tomorrow. Subscribe for more great content coming throughout 2017! Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Very nice plane but does that man want to hug the prop? People get overconfident. He is walking to much around the front, like its normal and nothing can happen. But did i already say its a beautifull plane. Thumbs up.
Latvianrcchannel Latvia I personally stay way clear of the props arc or plane of rotation. Found out a long time ago, the more comfortable you are, the more danger you may not notice. Maybe the camera angle makes him seem closer to the prop.
I was waiting for the strap to get caught in the prop myself, also he's looking around and the plane is turning over his shoulder, sooner or later these planes will be the end of modeling when one goes into a crowd and kills about 3 or 4 people.
Thanks Mark. Expecting to see him fly this again at another big show and get a look around the setup which I will share on this channel. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
this is probably the same or bigger than the Cri Cri a single passenger kit aircraft that is powered with a twin single cylinder engine or turbine. It's an acrobatic aircraft. there's lots of videos on you tube about this amazing aircraft Liu
A Go Pro view from on board would be great! Good flying. I flew R/C for 7 years back in the 80's. Never had anything larger than a 84 inch wing span though.
Problem is engine vibration. Have tried on other models with big engines and the vibration is so bad you get a very poor picture. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
a sad fact is this could probably still fly with a 12 pound toddler any toddler want a ride ile strap you to the underside and drop you a at 200ft fucking cod kids these days I bet they dont weigh much I would die laughing if there is a person who has put there kid in that thing lol
Totally different kettle of fish to carry someone. Design to carry that weight and the safety considerations would make it completely different. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Because you guys, non rc flyers, dont know the thrill of building, flying RC planes. A lot different than flying full scale airplanes. You dont feel the plane like sitting in it. It is a very addictive hobby, let me tell you. 👍🏼👍🏼😎😎😎😎😀
hats off to him, i got out of the game about 5 years ago and threw all my gear, planning on getting back into it but damn its expensive!!!!! looking at buying 2nd hand gear off ebay

At this point why not just build a full size plane and pilot it yourself?
I can never figure out why people hit dislike on posts like this... Awesome build, looks to fly great.
Tim B it's an RTF kit
@@edouardmaton2430 HUH?
@@rcrotorfreak it’s not a build, it’s a almost-ready-to fly kit. Just needs engine and servos
550cc it's huge, he might as well climb in and fly it.
It’s half of a Harley engine!
@@kevintucker3354 yet same size as a kawasaki js550 engine.
Which carries a person just fine.
A 125 is more than enough to scoot you along at highway speeds even.
@@kevintucker3354 better yet the ultralight quicksilver came with a kawasaki 440 engine
Always good to wear a glove when starting. Because that will stop a 550cc engine with huge prop from doing ANY damage!
Lol it will ease the pain
Blackout19 the glove keeps you from having to look for your fingers when the blade chops them off
Awesome plane! Some of the best RC flying & maneuvers I’ve ever seen!!! First time I ever saw an RC plane fly backwards, and at a few feet above the ground!
Nothing better than an amazing aircraft flown by an amazing pilot!
10/10 Jon. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
There is get in it and fly
i always wonder just how much bigger they would need to be to that?
The smallest airplane I've flown is a Cessna 150 and I couldn't imagine being in something smaller lol.
well shouldnt be to much bigger than this one.
This aircraft performed miracles! Thanks for sharing the experience with us!
I've seen some ppl at my local RC field w big airplanes like this. They need a trailer to transport them... Very cool :)

Dave Brewer I agree, wish it wasn’t so windy, I bet we would see an even better show!
bet his son is wondering where his motocross bike went!
lol no mx bike for any kid would be 550cc XD
HA i bet his son is wondering how to put actual controls inside !
Kronomoto
i didn't say "kid" i said son. could be any age.
still tho average motocross bike doesn't pass 400cc even in pros
Kronomoto
there is several 500cc motox bikes. but way to kill a joke buddy
I haven’t looked through the comments, so I don’t know if anyone else was waiting for a prop strike like 3-4 times!!! Mercy! The EMT in me was tingling a couple times!
Beautiful plane. Incredible flying.
beautiful flight & landing - excellent piloting
for a second there i thought he was going to put his head on the prop
Geez, that is almost big enough to be piloted by a small child or little person!
Thats a X-treme R/C Airplane very nice Video Thanks Dom :)
Thanks buddy. He's the master at this monster scale flying. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Any bigger and he would have to register it with the FAA. Nice.
Everyone has to register their R/C plane with the FAA.
I'm sorry, but I found myself laughing my ass off with what Crabtrap's comment was. That said, the video was amazing!
Good to hear you enjoyed it k. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Très belle démonstration de ce yak 54
Avec un excellent pilote qui ne doit pas être à sa première heure de vol.

That's BIG!Nice job in rather windy conditions.
I like the way he made the engine himself etc. That is a mad level of skill, especially for it to be able to do what it can. Insane machine. Loved it :~)
Why is this so satisfying.
Very very good, is a nice plane with an excellent pilot, congratulations
Boy oh Boy! some where along the line, you sure learned how to fly an RC plane!
That backwards flight is awesome! Good wind that day! And or bad, depending on what you’re trying to fly!
Love watching the planes fly. Love to own a plane. Keep the videos coming.
That's the plan Derick. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Holy cow! Look at the size of that plane. You could put a small child or adult in that thing and give them the ride of their life. Of course, you would have to hate either choice as a human being. Beautiful plane and excellent pilot, non the less.
wtf the best pilot ive seen yet........
poetry in motion.
I can't believe this guy flew so well with that so called helper sitting in his back pocket, it would put me off for sure!.
Man that tail has a TON of flex
Absolutely wonderful plane and flying skills are top flight!!
The bigger the plane, the easier they are to control. By far, the easiest plane to fly is the one you are in the pilot's seat. They really are easier to fly.

I bet it has a fence post for a wing tube , man that thing is huge
Probably the best I've seen!
Almost like he knows what he's doing lol, hell of a nice build!
That was just plain awesome. No doubt in my mind. Awesome!!
Thanks John. Great to hear you enjoyed it. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Awesome flying skills. I'd love to get some aerials of that bad boy
wowww...great show from the RC-Pilot.....
Absolutely amazing!
Amazing!
Only one question though! For all the time and money spent on such a project, why not build a full sized one to fly yourself inside?

Not much if any risk involved
The pilot never pass out even in that hard flight.
Now THIS is RC! ;)

Weight & gravity have a lot to do with larger planes driving like trucks... Still, it's a lot of fun! ;)
Big plane that matches piloting skill. Awesome And look at that landing : )
Thrust to weight ratio is amazing. If you but a big enough engine on a cement brick, you could do the same, so they say.
a gopro inside for a POV would have been amasing
Great flight even in that high wind!
MAN THAT WAS AWSOME!!!
I love to see people really good at something , I would want to be in the plane
That's some fine rudder work... it seemed to just muscle its way through what appeared to be a pretty stiff wind, with enough authority to climb vertical at a moments notice...Thanks for the vid

Hey, cool lawnmower!
Beautiful plane good flying but that a experience Rc pilot is standing in the prop way to put on his gear to attach his tx ?.
That is making me really nervous. Maybe I'm just clumsy. I know I'd fall into the prop sooner or later.
Very nice plane but does that man want to hug the prop? People get overconfident. He is walking to much around the front, like its normal and nothing can happen. But did i already say its a beautifull plane. Thumbs up.

Can certainly tell which way the wind is blowing.
Excelent 3 point landing, super!
Man that is just to cool !!! Jimmie R
Thanks Jimme. Way cool it is. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Well made airplane, and some seriously good piloting.
Up next- Cessna 172 with remote control conversion
Wow man , look that.superb , one of the biggest rc plane , so dangerous , huge and funny which make it cool machine
Very very very skillful flying there buddy.!!!
Yeah...Steve Carr is a bit good on the sticks. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
speechless. awesome pilot
Thanks Mark. Expecting to see him fly this again at another big show and get a look around the setup which I will share on this channel. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
OUTSTANDING!!
OMG 550cc!!!! that's crazy
If only people would put wind screens on there mics, You Tube would be a much better place... lol Awesome plane, nice flying...
I DO HAVE A SCREEN ON THE MIC. Doesn't help when the wind is blowing that hard though. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
this is probably the same or bigger than the Cri Cri a single passenger kit aircraft that is powered with a twin single cylinder engine or turbine. It's an acrobatic aircraft. there's lots of videos on you tube about this amazing aircraft Liu
damn that thing is so big you could almost fit a adult person in it
A Go Pro view from on board would be great! Good flying. I flew R/C for 7 years back in the 80's. Never had anything larger than a 84 inch wing span though.
Problem is engine vibration. Have tried on other models with big engines and the vibration is so bad you get a very poor picture. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
@@EssentialRC bet you're happy now that image stabilization is now standard lol
this makes me smile!! I Love it.
Pilot level - God
Haha...yeah. He'd like that feedback. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
MAGNIFICO
Awesome pilot.. salute
You could tell he wanted to do more, but it was just too windy.
beautifuf plane and a great pilot
HUGE!!!
very nice flying
I just got carr sick flying.... awesome flying....
Yup, he's a very skilled pilot is our Steve. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
stick a kid in it
😂
the sad thing is that I would probably fit in that.
You are fortunate. At 6'1" and 190 lbs there are aircraft I would like to fly but I don't fit!
a sad fact is this could probably still fly with a 12 pound toddler any toddler want a ride ile strap you to the underside and drop you a at 200ft fucking cod kids these days I bet they dont weigh much I would die laughing if there is a person who has put there kid in that thing lol
A kid weighs more than a plastic hollow mould.I believe the plane is constructed for lightness and not strength.
The only thing that comes to mind is DAMN!
Wow...Just WOW!!
Mooie kist.
Good show!
Now let your dream true, and take a seat inside - with our controller in the hand.
These is just ridiculously large, go up one meter wingspan and sit in the plane instead!
Totally different kettle of fish to carry someone. Design to carry that weight and the safety considerations would make it completely different. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
What about a Leprechaun ?
Go check out the French Cri Cri. It has a wing span of 4.9 meters. Really doesn't look any larger.
the smallest real plane is a lot smaller, a little over 2m, a biplane i think it was:)
Because you guys, non rc flyers, dont know the thrill of building, flying RC planes. A lot different than flying full scale airplanes. You dont feel the plane like sitting in it. It is a very addictive hobby, let me tell you. 👍🏼👍🏼😎😎😎😎😀
Физика нервно курит в сторонке...,
Класссссссс!
it would be cool to see a full scale plane flown by an rc pilot with the same transmitter that they use to fly rc planes !!!!!!
wow. this guy is Damn good to fly Rc plane. very good skills. nice vids. thanks man. :-)
You're welcome buddy. Thanks for the comment. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Ótimo vídeo, adorei. Toda máquina voadora é fascinante, desde um simples avião de papel até a complexidade de um UFO.
Now that's a landing....long line up...slow....no forcing it down.
That wasn't a landing, that was making love with the ground xD
That looks like a ultralight!
Funny looking Ultralight then?! Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
WOW what a fucking amazing pilot
He's a bit good, has to be said. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
hats off to him, i got out of the game about 5 years ago and threw all my gear, planning on getting back into it but damn its expensive!!!!! looking at buying 2nd hand gear off ebay
fantastic..!!!
Awesome 😄 Great flying skills 🖒 Awesome plane 🖒
Yup. Steve is a bit good! Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
He flew it, but if he piloted it he would be in the cockpit.
@ 6:27 that's a good 20 mph wind.
sounds like 3 mables were tossed in a bear can but the best flying ive seen.
Great video....
Thanks. Appreciate the feedback. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
supper cool grate job
Nice small model!!! :-O
Beautimus Steve great Job
