It would not take more time and money.. I did myself the same thought but this are two different ways to make aviation. Some pro jet pilots flying on best machines choose to spend all their free time and money on rc models, really ! Some other fly paraglider, etc.. About the big model scaled it get you closer to the real thing while you can still dream without too much stress. But with such abilities my personal choice would go to ultralight flying, build it and fly inside it :) Some people build 17th century vessels, spending years, not even putting it on water, and they dream maybe more than other who hardly find time and money to sail a cruise sailboat which requires many security elements, tons of fixing, lot of trouble... After all it's mostly about beeing happy... (I would choose a dinghy+a three masts model... and a trike ultralight+ several rc model gliders, from very slow to very fast). But right now we both are on TH-cam... ;) Also some people fall in love with one precise plane, this one although beeing a trainer may be very expensive and difficult as it is historical and quite heavy / powerful... so here this is like an artistic work, it is real in a way :-)
There is a extraordinarily huge rift between building a giant RC plane and a full scale homebuilt aircraft that you intend to fly in. RC planes very rarely require any certifications in order to fly legally and usually don't have to comply with typical regulations imposed on homebuilt planes. Actual full scale homebuilt planes are a completely different story, you have to comply with lots and lots of safety regulations and you probably have to get it certified, too. In most countries, you will also need a formal pilot's licence to be allowed to operate one, whereas it's usually not needed for an RC plane, though it depends on the country. I guess if you're in the US, you could get away with building an ultralight and fly it yourself easily as those have very few regulations, but in most other countries (this video seems to be from Europe), you'll need lots of permits and certificates if you intend to fly anything you built yourself. Building and flying a huge RC plane is thus incredibly easier and less stressful, costly and time-consuming than building the real thing.
Rear seat pilot position in two place trainers is a USA tradition, but may not be in in other countries. The Chinese Nanchang trainer locates the pilot in front, with the student/passenger in rear.
@@loboheeler It's not really because of tradition but a need for balance. Nanchang is a very different design. If you look at it you see the pilot's seat is located slightly ahead of the CG and the student would be likely a little behind. This will change the trim some, and might be annoying for sure but the airplane has a low aspect ratio wing and a long coupling, so this is not a huge problem, but I'm sure not ideal. The Stearman, being a design of the 1930s is totally different. The short coupled design reduces CG tolerance and the airplane will be properly balanced assuming there's a pilot on board, who is always behind the CG. The huge radial up front is more than enough counter balance and the student sits up front, right on top of the CG, a brilliantly placed position causing little or no change in trim. In other words the plane handles the same whether it has a student on board or not. The Nanchang will have to be trimmed somewhat differently but is a much larger and longer plane. I don't know why the Chinese decided to put the pilot in front, it seems the student should have as much view as possible and would have a better experience in front, and like the Stearman would not change the trim if the student is on board or not.
I had noticed that fault, too. But this model is so fantastic and beautiful I just couldn't bring myself to criticize it. Thanks for pointing that ONE flaw out.
When that thing hits the ground at Mach 1 due to radio glitch or some other small part malfunction, it's going to take a dumpster to haul it away from the field. The guys in our club always carry garbage bags in their flight boxs for the inevitable crash. Thanks for sharing your passion with us, certainly an extremely large model!
michael paulissen, you’d also need an Ambulance to haul the pilot into the Behavioral Health Center for nice visit to keep him sedated. Maybe some ECT’s (shock treatments) to make him forget about it!!!! I have a 92” WS custom build Air Tractor 502B. It’s 16 lbs. and if that crashed, I’d be in tears and laying in the ground!!!! Then, I’d pick up the pieces and go home and probably order another one!!!! Hahahahaha!!!!
Very impressive, aside from the glaring error of the pilot soloing in the front seat. I've owned two full scale (i.e. man carrying) biplanes that were smaller than this "model"... and probably cost less. Though it frightens me a bit too, something that massive as an R/C, I've flown R/C for many years and know well how often things go wrong.
Nothing goes wrong, don't worry. i am a man carring glider pilot with nearby 2.000 hours in my flightbook and be a model pilot over 45 years. These kind of model get a pilot with a ppl or special flight licence for bigscale models with theory and practice like a little persoanl pilot licence and the model get an official proof like a experimental man carring aircraft from LBA-Germany with aerolastic proof. Heavy sandsacks are put on the wings for positive and negativ g-force simulation and before it could start the first time a technical and electronical proof with the story in the boardbook. These models are models and the new ruels for UAV/UAS certified class are shure.
For a viewer on the ground it is so realistic no need for real people inside ... Even better one can more easily imagine beeing in the seat flying it ! As a matter of aviation dreaming the discuss - real bird vs huge realistic scaled rc bird - is not so obvious ... Thanks for sharing the show !
Outstanding. Engine sound was absolutely awesome !! Very well done sir and what a treasure you have in that Stearman. Excellent piloting skills, very realistic T/O's and maneuvers. A real Stearman is a difficult plane to land due to the tendency of ground looping and you made the landing look easy.
The engine diameter is maybe a little small. Everthing else seems to be perfect proportional. I assume that everything was built exactly to scale, but of course when it comes to the engine you have to get whats available.
Goodness , it’s hard to tell while it’s in the air that it’s a model. Even the engine has a nice growl to it. Do you have to contact ATC for that thing?
He knows it's a model, he sayi g that at some point you might as well just build a real plane. This is so huge, that you could probably put a person in it, so why not go a little bigger and then just fly it for real?
Anyone know the weight? In the US there's a 55lb limitation for models. I'm assuming this is over that weight, so would have to be certified as an aircraft?
Tolles Modell und klasse geflogen. Wenn das Fahrwerk, bzw. der Durchmesser der Räder jetzt noch maßstäblich dem Original entspräche, würde die Maschine noch wesentlich besser aussehen.
That guys shorts!! 😂😂😂😂 that is an amazing piece of kit. Looks big enough for skid to jump in and fly. I’m very suprised it’s even legal to fly an rc that size. We droners get hated on and we tiny.
Beautiful plane and flying skills. Sound is amazing! Who gives a d%*n where you put your pilot! Everyone's a critic. They should go out and build one of their own.
@@ModellpilotEU Funny, but it certainly could be true. That said, I'm thinking the engine size was likely the deciding scale factor. Do you have any information?
It was a night flight, but I do wonder why he didn't fly a roll or two. He had the time, but I'm guessing there was no aileron, elevator control at the same time, the way it was put together.
@Geoffrey Woodyear The goal of a model builder and pilot is to translate and fly the construction of the original into a model construction. You never think of flying alone. We are smart engineers of aviations.
Yes it is a cut between, from our friend Stephan von Hlohe, we like him and his work so much, that it the reason we cut him in, from an other videossequenz.
Serious. I could license as experimental I am sure. This size change would level my playing field in terms of everything. Just think I could finally reach rudder pedals without extensions. Can I buy his off of you? That would be easiest approach. I do not need the rv bits of course.
@@lobsterman5786 nah you couldn't and this wouldn't carry you even if you're a midget. It may be 67 % of the size of the real Stearman, but it's not 67 % of the weight, it's far, far lighter. A full scale Stearman weighs almost 900 kg (2,000 lbs), whereas this model certainly weighs around 150 kg (330 lbs). Add another 50 kg (110 lbs) to it and it probably won't even take off. RC planes, no matter their size, are designed to be as light as possible as they're usually made of light plywood, glass fiber and other such very light materials. They don't need all the structural reinforcements a full-scale plane would need to carry a person and it allows them to get away with using a much smaller engine. The full-scale Stearman had a 220-hp engine, I'm pretty sure doesn't make over 50 hp. Size isn't everything ;)
Rich S that would be awesome to see a little guy flying a little plane. Get one custom built scale size, would be expensive but you would use a scale amount of fuel and save a little
Rich S you were talking about a micro sport aircraft and they usually have around 65 to 70 hp in their complete composite built look up Mike Arnold RB five or RB six
Pilot is not frans, frans did the build, the guy with grey hair and black shirt. Ludo is the pilot. Both great guys. I bought gliders from frans 10y ago, while he was working on this plane. I saw the build in his workshop. I was there too with the maiden flight. Its a great machine. Too bad i never had the opportunity to fly this plane. Ludo flies in mode2, i fly in mode 1. Wouldnt work. And as far as i remember it was 75% scale, but i can be wrong. The weight is 135kg. I had a micro glider that day that was 135grams haha. I have a picture when my glider is on the wing
@Fred Flintstone , This is not a yardstick, it is a model. Yes, you need a special pilot license for this type of model under 150 kg, and the model receives a special improvement and official aviation decrease in stability from aviation experts. So it is safe and it will not crash in a house and if it has to fly over miles without control to reach a village. But it will come down without control. Do not think things like this, sometimes it will come true in the physical world.
@kkiwi54 The goal of a model builder and pilot is to translate and fly the construction of the original into a model construction. You never think of flying alone. We are smart engineers of aviations.
I see an autopilot plane, delivery service with a normal size aircraft. It could receive signals from way-point towards the destination. A shorter take off and landing runway cos it’s much lighter.
Great flight and great plane, but I cannot believe he got away with having his antenna pointed at that airplane from the transmitter. Several times he had to be in very low signal. The signal travels from the side of the transmitting antenna.
@Timothy Townsend, Correct, but it doesn't matter because there is much more range of the transmitter in bad positions of the antena. Good comment be welcome.
@@ModellpilotEU This comment does not make sense. There is little to No signal coming off the end of the antenna. You should not ever point the antenna at the airplane.
@frogsoda This corresponds to the class certified. Certified - complex operational risk Approval and operation of the UAV are as complex as in manned aviation The pilot, operator and UAS must be certified
Organizations like that don’t care about people that fly RC like this. The hobby never had problems for years until drones were put into mass production. It’s the people that fly recklessly that they care about.
@Gordon Whatley It is exactly the same way the RC pilots have a license and the model has an aircraft inspection, be welcome good comment, keep in touch.
@Paul Amarante 101% LOL, yes why not, everything is possible internal the rules und 150 kg, with pilot licence and official rules of aviations. Here a video with a fullscale and radio controled U: th-cam.com/video/CcubPJP5hy0/w-d-xo.html and a two videos from a glider model in 100% th-cam.com/video/ggvtRowE08c/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/8h5ADg3Mlvc/w-d-xo.html
@Val Tito Yes, it is legal after the strength test model and the pilot have received an approval with a small pilot's license. The model can then weigh up to 150 kg. This corresponds to the class certified. Certified - complex operational risk Approval and operation of the UAV are as complex as in manned aviation The pilot, operator and UAS must be certified
@Ronald McCormick , everybody does things i never mind, some that I didn't expect. I never expeded that this person is able to do this, but it works. I celebrate with him, because it is a great job. That is my way to understand the why behind a result. and you any idea?
We are model pilots not intrested to fly by ourself inside the cockpit. We want to construced planes from scratch with our over 30 years knowledge in RC modeling. And the other thing is to learn about history of construction in aviation. Be welcome.

Also, people do whatever they please with their own money, not your prerogative to tell them how to spend it.
Perfect, me too, but it is a special licence for models, not too deep in knowledge like a private pilot licence PPL. Without navigation and other special therory, And is official proofed by persons of the LBA-Germany.
Really great model but why not build a real one and fly it in person?

So it is safe and it will not crash in a house and if it has to fly over miles without control to reach a village. But it will come down without control. Do not think things like this, sometimes it will come true in the physical world.
Are you flying it by radio until you get your pilot's license?
Yes indeed, you must have a pilot licence add a special aprovment for the model.
My god, this nearly equals an 1:1 scale of an " Pits Special"!
I don't understand why anyone would build such a large model when for very little more you could build a real aircraft and get to fly in it.
@kkiwi54 The goal of a model builder and pilot is to translate and fly the construction of the original into a model construction. You never think of flying alone. We are smart engineers of aviations.
I see an autopilot plane, delivery service with a normal size aircraft. It could receive signals from way-point towards the destination. A shorter take off and landing runway cos it’s much lighter.
ok.
If only I were a kid again!!!
THX, for your comment and be welcome on that Channel Modellpilot.EU.
Luyte- Tanghe?
der Pilot sitzt bei einem Doppeldecker immer hinten!!
TOP
Ja ! LOL
Great flight and great plane, but I cannot believe he got away with having his antenna pointed at that airplane from the transmitter. Several times he had to be in very low signal. The signal travels from the side of the transmitting antenna.
@Timothy Townsend, Correct, but it doesn't matter because there is much more range of the transmitter in bad positions of the antena. Good comment be welcome.
@@ModellpilotEU This comment does not make sense. There is little to No signal coming off the end of the antenna. You should not ever point the antenna at the airplane.
Pilot should be in the rear seat and scaled up about 2X. Wheels and tires are not to scale either.
Why was the engine giving out so much polluting smoke?
This was paraphine smoke.
I think that's bigger than a real-life Pitts!
And we wonder why the FCC wants to regulate our Hobby.
@frogsoda This corresponds to the class certified.
Certified - complex operational risk
Approval and operation of the UAV are as complex as in manned aviation
The pilot, operator and UAS must be certified
Organizations like that don’t care about people that fly RC like this. The hobby never had problems for years until drones were put into mass production. It’s the people that fly recklessly that they care about.
maybe he built it so big so he could see it up there?
LOL
Bello..ma a che serve?????
La vita nella comunità è spesso composta da diversi specialisti, per cui uno può ammirare la passione dell'altro.
Whoa I have never seen a RC ultralight before you must have 20 grand in that thing hopefully you will crash it that would make a good video
Pretty cool, but 62%?? You were more than halfway to the full thing. LOL
THX, for your comment and be welcome on that Channel Modellpilot.EU.
Model data?!!!
Question to the community.
The Piolet is in the wrong seat. You fly the PT17 from the rear seat!
YES, indeed, be welcome.
Wahnsinn...!!! (im positiven Sinne...)
@Norm G, sind wir nicht alle bischen, ... . Herzlich willkommen.
Look mines bigger, OTT. They are going to have to make the RC pilots get a proper licence.
@Gordon Whatley It is exactly the same way the RC pilots have a license and the model has an aircraft inspection, be welcome good comment, keep in touch.
Why?
That is rc-modelbuilding for.
What’s next ? 99% model ?
@Paul Amarante 101% LOL, yes why not, everything is possible internal the rules und 150 kg, with pilot licence and official rules of aviations.
Here a video with a fullscale and radio controled U: th-cam.com/video/CcubPJP5hy0/w-d-xo.html
and a two videos from a glider model in 100% th-cam.com/video/ggvtRowE08c/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/8h5ADg3Mlvc/w-d-xo.html
Pilot should be in the rear seat.. otherwise this is amazing
THX, for your comment and be welcome on that Channel Modellpilot.EU.
That thing is as big as a Pitt.
big like a what?!
A Pitts special i agree.
Mokie 400??
@Jason Joseph, sounds like maybe.
I Think it will be a Valach-Motor with more than 400 ccm
The best part is you can use it to airdrop the alimony check after you wife leaves you : D
@Brent Taylor Art I see a man with experience :D, be welcome.
Its smoothe
THX, for your comment and be welcome on that Channel Modellpilot.EU.
I heard the owner had a fear of flying and deep pockets
THX, for your comment and be welcome on that Channel Modellpilot.EU.
hello is this even legal?!!!! can you go in it for a ride?
@Val Tito Yes, it is legal after the strength test model and the pilot have received an approval with a small pilot's license. The model can then weigh up to 150 kg.
This corresponds to the class certified.
Certified - complex operational risk
Approval and operation of the UAV are as complex as in manned aviation
The pilot, operator and UAS must be certified
@@ModellpilotEU just amazing. blessings and happy flying. stay out of danger.
Dangerous
Why?
you could give children rides in that one.
do not think about it or do it, for shure that is not a joke. This are models not fullsize airplanes. Keep in touch and thanks for your comment.
@@ModellpilotEU
sorry that was a joke
I dont get it! why?
@Ronald McCormick , everybody does things i never mind, some that I didn't expect. I never expeded that this person is able to do this, but it works. I celebrate with him, because it is a great job. That is my way to understand the why behind a result. and you any idea?
Why didn't you just build an ultra-light that way you could have flown in it
We are model pilots not intrested to fly by ourself inside the cockpit. We want to construced planes from scratch with our over 30 years knowledge in RC modeling. And the other thing is to learn about history of construction in aviation. Be welcome.
Pilot is soloing from the wrong copit!
THX, for your comment and be welcome on that Channel Modellpilot.EU.
The pilot fell out.
Pilot figure in wrong seat. All solo flights from rear in Stearman. LOL
THX, for your comment and be welcome on that Channel Modellpilot.EU.
Waste of money. Build a real one and fly it yourself. Me CFII
The life in the community often consists of different specialists, whereby one can admire the passion of the other.
There is a extraordinarily huge rift between building a giant RC plane and a full scale homebuilt aircraft that you intend to fly in. RC planes very rarely require any certifications in order to fly legally and usually don't have to comply with typical regulations imposed on homebuilt planes. Actual full scale homebuilt planes are a completely different story, you have to comply with lots and lots of safety regulations and you probably have to get it certified, too. In most countries, you will also need a formal pilot's licence to be allowed to operate one, whereas it's usually not needed for an RC plane, though it depends on the country.
I guess if you're in the US, you could get away with building an ultralight and fly it yourself rather easily as those have very few regulations there, but in most other countries (this video seems to be from Europe), you'll need lots of permits and certificates if you intend to fly anything you built yourself. Building and flying a huge RC plane is thus incredibly easier and less stressful, costly and time-consuming than building the real thing.
Also, people do whatever they please with their own money, not your prerogative to tell them how to spend it.
Might as well have built it full size.
@Carlos Rincon, yes indeed, be welcome.
Obviously big enough to just build a bigger cockpit and fly the damn thing yourself.
THX, for your comment and be welcome on that Channel Modellpilot.EU.
Engine? Wingspan....DUH?
Question to the community
just get a pilot's licence
Perfect, me too, but it is a special licence for models, not too deep in knowledge like a private pilot licence PPL.
Without navigation and other special therory, And is official proofed by persons of the LBA-Germany.
The FAA is having a fit right now that is definitely way over . 55 lb but you know what I say screw them
@Xtreme fpv Do you realy think it is?
@@ModellpilotEU unfortunately the whole hobby will be a thing in the past if they get their way with remote ID
Honestly should have just taken it all the way to full scale.
@NewJerseyJay, but that takes a lot more time and hurdles.
Pilot figure in wrong seat
