absolutely wonderful size Aircraft there and the landing could have been a bit more Nicer but luckily he never damaged it but - awesome Footage there Dom great work mate
Landing was pretty much perfect. Nothing you can do about the tail swing at the end, not landing on grass... with no wheel brakes, and quite a small rudder, theres just no way your going to counter that tail swing. Different resistance on each wheel, due to uneven grass, and not having the weight to just go straight ahead, she is going to swing. Only way to counter that is maybe land on tarmac, and even then still might if theres slight differences in the wheel bearings. Those ww1 aircraft had tiny rudders. Very difficult to keep in a straight line while on the ground. Go check out footage of real, full size replicas in flight, or any original footage. A LOT of them will tail swing at the end
Preflight and startup were not the best. The taxi and take off were dangerous. But the actual flying showed a lot of skill well flown and a beautiful plane. The landing well we all saw that.
Cool plane!!! I didn't think that such a large R/C bipe could do a loop-de-loop without tearing itself apart, but yours handled it quite gracefully!!! :-)
wow! took off before arriving on the track! I didn't understand correctly: while you were interviewing him, did he say the engine displacement? thanks Dom for sharing these beautiful videos!
I was thinking that during the whole flight, he didn't touch the rudder on takeoff, the model turned through 90 degrees due to engine torque before it left the ground, he let the model screw over the loop without correcting with any rudder, he also didn't cut the throttle down the back side of the loop and on landing the model was weathercocking from the round-out to the moment it ground-looped. It's rare that a scale modeller of this standard gets enough stick-time to be truly proficient because they spend so much time building as opposed to flying but the lack of rudder coordination and use throughout this flight was painful to watch.
@@lilredwagon5311 ahhhh you are right. Confused light sport with ultra lights. I bet you could finagle a small biplane into a configuration that's accepted as an ultralight. I mean hell other than the engine and some cockpit components they are fabric and wood. Would love to fly a bi-plane.
@@lilredwagon5311 I like that one. looked it up after I saw your comment. look up the "Hummel" it's more in the mid 30s pre ww2 monoplane design. Badass is what it is. No wood used at all. Amazing they kept it under weight. I had been working on my pilots liscense back in 2013. I'm 33 now. I have enough flight time in Cessnas plus all the experience of sims that flying an ultralight around in a circle on a nice day is more than fine and safe (enough) for me. I don't have a desire to invest my entire life into flying. Already did that with music lol. Owning a little ultralight that I can play with on nice days and fly for the price of a fill up on my car is more than enough!
Or a little right rudder on takeoff. Typical RC driver. He doesn’t know how to use that left stick, except to run the throttle. Needs to go back and work on some basics, IMO.
Because these guys are only interested and flying radio controlled models not the far greater complexities of building, certifying passenger carrying aircraft and learning how to fly them. Totally different ball game.
It's the frame rate. So yeah it's his camera . There's a video on youtube where the frame rate of the camera matches the speed of a helicopters blades. It's flying around, but it looks like the blades aren't moving.
You added an electric starter which is not scale and yet used a tail skid, which is scale, but makes wrecking that ridiculous contraption far more likely. Interesting choices.
Crashed my half glue half foam Delta wing, Really upset then i realized i can just glue it together! Again... Can't say quite the same thing for this though
And I'll give the same reply I always give....then it wouldn't be RC would it. These guys are interested in flying via RC not taking their PPL and building a far more complex passenger carrying aircraft. Whole different kettle of fish.
Yeah, I can't understand why model makers want to get as near actual size as possible, 2/3rd ?!! I thought the idea was that models are small scale models ?
@@WildPhotoShooter Going big changes the flight characteristics a ton, making it a lot easier to fly due to wing effecting the place less. It is also a show of pride, building a place of this size from scratch and flying it scale as both a show of skill and simply another way to have fun in the hobby
As someone who has built two planes, an RV 8 and Rans 7, I do not quite get why someone who obviously has a lot of talent and dollars would not just build a plane you could fly in.
My thought exactly. Somebody didn’t teach them and/or they never learned. I was lucky. The guy who taught me to fly RC wore me out with rudder work. Seems like you get it up from or never use it. Not too many RC’ers seem to work on rudder after they learn how to “yank and bank”.
@@EssentialRC I didn't mean an RC. I meant just build this as an actual biplane and spec it out to where it qualifies as an "ultralight" aircraft. No liscense needed to fly an ultralight. All you'd have to do is build it a bit larger and add some basic cockpit components. Bam...got yourself a plane you can actually fly!

What a tremendous work of art!!!!!!!! Great work!!!!!! You are sure to be proud of it. Flying style and all!!!!
Ahhh the arm chair critics! Great plane, great flight.
Beautiful, love the scale flying characteristics, particularly the scale ground loop on landing.
The fellows put on a wonderful show! Thanks Essential RC!
That was awesome. What a short field take off.
I think it's fair to say that a dwarf should volunteer to sit in the cockpit
I can probably
If Hobbits were pilots?
It’s littler person
Impressive,Very impressive, Thanks for the video.
Looking at this meeting, i can't get away with the impression ,that i'm pursuing the best sports hobby in the world.Thank you Dom.
It is THE BEST !!!!!!
RC is not a sport. Hobby yes, sport, no.
Very beautiful plane.
She just wants to fly. Beautiful 😍
There are very few of the original WW1 fighters left. Great to see a replica
beautifully constructed !
Incredible airplane. Good job
Gorgeous...

Now that is a cool RC aircraft!
Go for some ariel shots a couple of GoPro's should do it. It's certainly big enough. Great aircraft, nicely done!
Fantastic !
Hop in... take a ride! 🥰
Fantastic thanks for upload
That Was Cool !!!!
If I were to build something this big it would not be remote control, it would be direct control.
Preflight and startup were not the best. The taxi and take off were dangerous. But the actual flying showed a lot of skill well flown and a beautiful plane. The landing well we all saw that.
Not really a great flight, he never even touched his rudder on the landing and as a result, he ground looped it.
Фантастика!!!
Richard Hammonds everyday transport ! 😁
Good size, super.
Cool plane!!!
I didn't think that such a large R/C bipe could do a loop-de-loop without tearing itself apart, but yours handled it quite gracefully!!! :-)
i wanna yank the pilot out and climb in!
BigDroneFlyer lol
Could've put a few more hours into the 2/3 scale pilot perhaps.
Yeah but you didn't make it, now did you. How do you know it's budget?
wow! took off before arriving on the track!
I didn't understand correctly: while you were interviewing him, did he say the engine displacement?
thanks Dom for sharing these beautiful videos!
That is one bad daddy sounds so much like it’s real counterpart
that's as good as the real thing!
Come on, we need a 2:1 scale, 2/3rds just isn't big enough these days.
Love the scale WWI landing!
with a seat and controls a 10 year old could fly in it! :)
Lift on her is incredible.
damn thats huge
Nice 👌
Landing! Doesn't the rudder work?!
He got lazy on the elevator also ..

at 2/3 scale you might as well have made it pilot-able. bet that would be really fun haha!
That's exactly what I said. At a small enough size you can get away with is as a light sport plane so you don't need a pilot liscense.
@@jedimindtrix2142 is it ultralights we don't need a license? Or do we need a license regardless?

At what point does it stop being RC and turn into UAV?
Good question...I thought about it AND I literally have NO IDEA ! Haaaaahahahahahaha
The faa has a rule about 55Lbs (approx 20kg) this might be close to a definition.
Just how big are these things going to get? Human passenger time...
wow that plane looks awesome but how much does that plane cost to own but anyways this guy is a awesome flyier
I own a Corby Starlet. I swear it’s no bigger than that thing!
Why not build a full scale one to fly in?
Because it would cost a fortune for certification. Big time money.
@@javoss123 it's really not that much, if you make something that's already been designed and checked for home use it's free!
@@javoss123 Airdrome Airplanes will sell you a kit for a similar homebuilt for about the price of a car.
Good to know. Thanks for the info! I stand corrected.
Wonderful model!
Too bad he didn't give just a little left rudder on the landing
I think it was on purpose so he didn't go off end of the runway but I could be mistaken. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Or a little right rudder on takeoff. Typical RC driver. He doesn’t know how to use that left stick, except to run the throttle. Needs to go back and work on some basics, IMO.
good plane
Charge for flights for kids?
Believe me I love this thing. I just don't understand why don't you just go full scale and fly it yourself.
Because these guys are only interested and flying radio controlled models not the far greater complexities of building, certifying passenger carrying aircraft and learning how to fly them. Totally different ball game.
Rule 1. Prime the cylinders before attempting to start the engine.
He almost clipped his transmitter case then blew it away!
a bit bigger and he could fly it on his own
Ist this Show every year?
I have a 65% Bleriot XI😜
sometimes it looks like prop hardly turning. Is that because of the video recording ?
It's the frame rate. So yeah it's his camera . There's a video on youtube where the frame rate of the camera matches the speed of a helicopters blades. It's flying around, but it looks like the blades aren't moving.
That's mega.
2/3 scale? Why not 3/3 and fly around in it?
1:1 is full size, not 3:3..
You added an electric starter which is not scale and yet used a tail skid, which is scale, but makes wrecking that ridiculous contraption far more likely. Interesting choices.
Why be a dick?
where was the plane at.....what city
What 2/3!?
Yup. 66% !
Belgian markings & roundels!!!!!
Crashed my half glue half foam Delta wing, Really upset then i realized i can just glue it together! Again...
Can't say quite the same thing for this though
Surely if your going to go that big you might as well have a full size plane and get in it..?
And I'll give the same reply I always give....then it wouldn't be RC would it. These guys are interested in flying via RC not taking their PPL and building a far more complex passenger carrying aircraft. Whole different kettle of fish.
if your going to build something BIG, why not build something you can get in & FLY? chances are it probably could be an ultra lite or sport aviation

Because IT WOULD NOT BE RC ! and RC is BETTER than FLYING !!!!!
Put a turbo prop in it ,or not
Hmm it needs to be bigger imo
Well that plane can be used in kid wars because there can fita a kid
Put an RV airsoft gun and have a nice time
why is it all these guys cant use the rudder on take off?
My thought exactly. Somebody didn’t teach them and/or they never learned. I was lucky. The guy who taught me to fly RC wore me out with rudder work. Seems like you get it up from or never use it. Not too many RC’ers seem to work on rudder after they learn how to “yank and bank”.
Another guy who has no idea about rudder
When it was riding the wingtips almost ground looping... look like he turned into it more
WHERE WAS THE MEETING ????????????????
Details in the video description. Always worth reading before asking questions.
Park Flyer 🙂
Just make it a third bigger and put Harrison ford in it The guy does a better job flying it
Why not just make it 1/3 bigger?
Judging by that landing, the reason he was able to get away with that and not in a full size, is probably why not lol
3
Ye don't get a ticket to watch this plane fly, ye get a boarding pass. Does he have to file a flight plan?
I wish they can put a BB guns and I can take a ride on it.
Why not make 10 11.
Why not make it 6:3 scale and everyone would feel like midgets?
Hell why bother with an RC plane at this size lol. May as well go all the way and get a full biplane kit and fly it for real!
Totally different challenge to build a full size and get it certified to carry the pilot. RC is a lot simpler and cheaper.
@@EssentialRC I didn't mean an RC. I meant just build this as an actual biplane and spec it out to where it qualifies as an "ultralight" aircraft. No liscense needed to fly an ultralight.

jump in and fly away in that thing its big enough.
Because blowup dolls are cheap and require fewer hours to be ready for pilot duty.
1st
Why not just sit in at this point?
Doesn't have a seat and hasn't been certified or tested for human travel. Models are a lot different.
Me montaria abordo con el mando
abel Sautie: can you translate plase... dio-caro!
Abel Sautie: cossa ti disi toso? hahaha
First
Why not just add another third get a pilots license and get in the thing lol.
Be easier to fly that way 😁
Because it wouldn't be RC.
😩. Use the rudder, man, what a shit landing 😩☹️
In poco más grande y te puedes montar en el
Why not build a full scale one to fly in?
