@@rcplanedisplay I have test flown a lot of BIG models for people and it is surprising how many builder and flyers don't know about adverse yaw, and what to do to overcome it, it also helps that I am a full scale pilot and have flown full scale airplanes that you need to use with rudder to overcome the adverse yaw.
What a superb model!! Though none of us have seen the real thing in flight, at least we get to marvel at this model of what it might have been. Tail heavy, nose heavy I don't care - it is a credit to its' builder to produce such an amazing and rare flying model!! 👏👏👏😍😍👍
Tail heavy, nose heavy, what does it matter who cares? it's not a big deal. The point is to save this superb model from damage or destruction if one of The Landings happens to slam the nose into the ground. Not to mention it will fly better.

Yes, the pilot reported the controls to be very power and elevator sensitive. Thankfully the huge wings managed the low airspeed well before touchdown ! Happy Landings !
@@captainaxle438 LMFAO. Really took that personally didn't you. Feelings and all. I know your large scale Zeppelin Staaken bomber model is vastly superior to this and I eagerly await your flight video. So triggered, so hilarious.
@@rcplanedisplay I went ahead and subscribed to your channel, but was surprised to see not a single video. Hmmmmmm, that's weird. I look forward to your uploads, I'm eager to learn from a true TH-cam master.............
Without the fore-knowledge of knowing, that this is a model, if I was outside, and saw it flying, I would actually think, IT WAS REAL🤔!!! This is the BIGGEST model, (flying, or not) I've ever seen 😲!!!So, it's a "Junker's"??? I had to read the German description, to achieve this info. It was left out of the, English pronunciations!!!!
It appears to be slightly nose heavy? Or is that just the way, it was designed to fly, I noticed some sea soaring especially coming in for a landing, the CG perhaps a little out of range under or over? Great flying I've made it other comment, on this clip under somebody else's comment concerning the activity if you want to look for it. August 23rd 2022
The porpoising on Landing is because it is tail heavy. TH-cam is full of videos of tail heavy models and many crash on first flight. Nose heavy flies, tail heavy does not. You do not balance a scale model dead level like you balance a 3D stunt plane. Nose heavy is for stability. Multi-engine models do have more sensitive elevators because of the prop blast but that is simply compensated by less travel. Many expert modelers still do not understand how to balance a scale model. The most misunderstood aspect of model airplanes and the most common cause of crashes
@@rcplanedisplay thank you. It is a tail dragger with a nose wheel assist, early airplane design. It is tail heavy enough to affect landings and I believe that it's size gives it enough stability to survive so far. The real airplanes are designed to balance around their heavy engines that's why a scale model requires nose weight because the model engine is not nearly as heavy
@@captainaxle438 You are incorrect the real one sits on the tail as well. The upper wing is so high up when tail is lowered it moves the cg behind the wheels when plane go level cg is in correct position. I have a ov10 bronco that will set on the tail because the gear is so long, but the cg is perfect for flying. If plane had a rear cg you would notice in flight but it looks very stable. My guess when he comes off the power the nose wants to drop and he adds elevator to counter causing the up and down. Ive been flying rc for 40 years so I pretty much can tell whats going on. Ive seen it all.
@@airman9820 I think you seen nothing and that you know nothing that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard an ov10 Bronco that sits on its tail. Yes this old airplane is a tail dragger with nose wheel assist. A bronco is not. Maybe if your bronco is electric, with the batteries out of it it will sit on tail, maybe you never notice the difference, probably someone else's model you seen. If you can not recognize a tail-heavy model porpoising on landing approach then you really have not learned anything in your "40 years" of armchair quarterbacking. I know you! you're the guy at the Airfield that's the least skilled with the most knowledge. Every field has these "expert" untalented blowhards, always crashing and clowning, troll
That's weird, since it obviously flew. Tail heavy will fly. The more trail heavy, the not unstable, and a typing point will be reached. But, make no mistake about it, trail heavy WILL fly. The ACTUAL saying is, nose heavy flies, trail heavy rarely flies twice. But, even then it can fly twice so.......

It's never way too many hours, when you love what you doing, it's a great feeling of satisfaction, when you finish and show the project to others. You develop a deep love for the activity once you get involved it's addictive for sure. People that have built models from scratch or from friends provided by various companies gets in the beginning, it just gives a great sense of accomplishment. God bless all the RC Pilots, that are no longer with us from Old School. In my opinion today, people no longer build from scratch, or from RC kits, or even from, arf, almost ready to fly. Today most of the planes, or made of foam, and are electric. It's like flying a toy. To me there's no real great satisfaction or accomplishment, from buying a plane in a box already assembled and ready to fly right out of the box. When I go to the field I have almost nothing in common, with the RC Pilots that are out there. All as I know is make the plane fly fast who has the biggest battery, nothing to do with aerodynamics, building techniques tuning an engine Etc.

To me there's no real great satisfaction or accomplishment, from buying a plane in a box already assembled and ready to fly right out of the box. When I go to the field I have almost nothing in common, with the RC Pilots that are out there. All as I know is make the plane fly fast who has the biggest battery, nothing to do with aerodynamics, building techniques tuning an engine Etc. Us old school Pilots, are very rare these days unfortunately. Then AMA member since 1971.

Great ! Happy Landings !
Free flight rubber would be more impressive.
That would also be some great model plane and I also like the rubber free flight models a lot ! Have a Good Day !
I always thought that was a russian plane ilya morivisch. Gigant giant
Well, the Ilya is same time era but has 4 engines with all pulling propellers ! Have a Good Day !

Oh . And a biplane tail with 3 rudders and cables bracing a skinny tail boom .
Those remind me of big swashbuckling pirate ships sailing through the sky .
What is 10,6 m?
I mean it has 10,6 meters wingspan, have a Good Day !
@@rcplanedisplay What is a meteor?
alter Scgwede fliegt das Ding instabil..aber...Hauptsache gross..GRÖSSER..wer hat den Grössten...das hat nichts mit Modellflug zu tun...
Es ist ein sehr anspruchsvolles Team Projekt und sie haben es geschafft ! Toll, daß es solche Flugtag Highlights gibt ! Fliegergruß !
What worries me RC aircraft nowadays are getting larger and larger, and more and more dangerous, this one in particular is the size a small aircraft, and iam sure could cause death if hitting a house or car ect
Yes, you are right but the builders used very strong robotics servos etc. and they fly it only once a year ! Have a Good Day !
@@rcplanedisplay any one of a dozen things can go wrong, but yes they should take preventative measures, good day
You worry too much, my friend.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 maybe just been in a light aircraft crash myself, just gets me thinking
@@desmondleroux3444 You don't know if you've been in a light airplane crash yourself? I have an 8 pound plane that goes over one hundred miles an hour, you'd rather get hit by this big model any day. LMFAO. You worry too much.
….Quite a strange idea to fly so close from those useless and expensive windmills…don’t you think ?…
Yes, I agree but they turn off the closest one during the airshow and the flying field is there for a long time without crashing into them. Maybe someone did ? Have a Good Day !
Beautiful work, flying and the landing looked just like the real thing 🎉🎉🎉
@@rcplanedisplay check !😎 have a nice day too
Je pense que je suis en droit d'écrire la vérité sur les produits que je paye
always the same, the bigger and more expensive the plane, the lower the skill level of the person flying it. poor landing technique...
Well, its very tricky to control ! Helmut is a very experienced giant scale flyer, was a little slow there but reacted good to land it ! Have a Good Day !
Order horrible noise get a glider
this hobby is getting too big and dangerous. Flying with no instrument and gauges
Yes, its all up to the pilots judgement and flying skills ! Have a Good Day !
(of which there is plenty of that lacking)🤔🇺🇸🇪🇬🇩🇪🇨🇦🇬🇧

На такой огромной модели может пилот летать !🐴☝😃
Comment peut-on construire une horreur pareille en modèle réduit ? c'est du n'importe quoi
Absolutely beautiful
Just fantastic!
Yes, Sir, happy you like it also ! Have a Good Day !
Incredible!!!
Oh, Yes ! Have a Good Day !
