There is no legal limit to the size of RC plane you can fly in the US and you don't need AMA waivers to fly on a non club field. You can build a 150% model and fly it on your own property if you want.
its not that its illegal to fly in the us. Its a pain in the ass to get the licensing for it in the us. From what i remember from AMA is that they would concider it a personal aircraft after a marked weight. Thus needing to have a call sign for it and registered with the FAA. But than again i could be wrong.
One is forced to wonder why somebody would build something of this size and not go a little bigger -- so as to build the real thing? I'd rather fly *in* it than from the ground, even with FPV and full instrumentation.
@12345deadmanwalking It's the size and weight that restrict it from flying in the United States. Runway space is not an issue, and because it's a model it cannot interfere with full scale aircraft carrying live passengers.
@Nilguiri I don't think evilelfindustries understands the word "shite". To be honest, the idiocy was apparent from the start given that the first line was patriotic nonsense all in caps.
Why do you INSIST on burying the sound of the airplane with the constant crap music noise?????? I notice this on alot of Yuotube videos. IS someone paying you to do this? Otherwise WHY?
example: Next time you're watching porn - why not bury the sound with audio-clips of the Honeymooners the whole GD time. See?
Why don't you try re-posting the video without the GD music noise?? I want to hear the airplane!
@natn0 doesn't make sense because your not in reality..ill fill you in the Republican party aka the nazis are destroying the middle class and the only wall we have left against there aggression.. the unions. watch some fucking news. we destroyed the fascist in 45 and the c☭mmunity aka the working man will do it again..sry about political argument on your video 1001blogs
@n8tivguitar your comparison of nazis and the "republicans," which in this context you really mean capitalists, is totally erroneous. do you really think the prosperity of the nazi party and the third reich would have been possible without "the working man?" nazi means national socialist btw. your arguments are contradictive.
@natn0 im not wrong they do it the same way.. propaganda/fox news is a very powerful weapon like you fighting for them and something tells me your not party of the 2% who gain from there actions are else you wouldn't be on you tube you would be sailing or wine testing,2month vacation..out of the ten biggest contributors to politicians seven are for republicans only 3 for democrats and those 3 are unions now they busting them. nazi shit.."first they came" google it. you paid more in taxes then GE
@n8tivguitar fox news is only powerful because the public (i.e. americans, no offence) is stupid enough to believe it. also it seems you're taking for granted that I myself is american. I live in a country where 98% of the people are democrats with a socialist government, the difference is that our people have an inherent attitude that value hard work. if you work hard you get where you want, and if you don't you still don't get kicked out on the streets. and health care is free.
@natn0 i'm sorry i did think you was american because in america if you stand for the poor man/middle class your called a commie. i commend your government and people. america needs to invade its self and set up a democracy nowa days.
I don't wanna be a party pooper. I definitely love the vid, along with the creativity and airmanship of the pilot. But I can't say I would want to do a similar project. To me, I might as well build an ultralight if I am going to be using those kids of resources to build a plane.
Although I wonder if this plane could be used for aerotowing small gliders. There is a video here on youtube where someone uses an rc airplane to aerotow a hang glider. This plane seems to be even more powerful.
I LOVE THIS ..! awsome, i swored to my flying friend that one day we will get us a full scale plane and rebuild as an RC plane, but this is as close at it gets.
Great Job and great flying, was it a bit shaky in your legs on this first maiden?

Great Job and great flying, was it a bit shaky in your legs on this first maiden?
this is a great project,but i why with all the coments about it,for some people they cannot fly themselves either for health or money reasons so they do this and build amazing planes the size they want,great plane guy's
these ppl ask why, i say why not with a tim allen home improvement grunt! id love to know more details on the built coz there is so much more involved when you go this big, just to cool
America.Brilliant country,loads of room to do all sorts of interesting stuff and some WANKER putting stupid laws on everything stopping you doing it.Bit like the UK.Its like having a hard on in a monastry.
Wonderful achievment!! This isn't directed at you personally, but why do most R/C video presenters feel as if an annoying soundtrack enhances what they've done. I can assure you, I love music as much or more than the next guy, but how about giving me the option of listening to the pure sound of the flight. My .02 worth.
Cool plane, but seems very underpowered. At 70% scale, you start having a need for a 70% engine, which I can imagine is hard to find. As far as RC engines go, a large Moki radial could probably do it better justice.
if its not legal in the us where did you fly it? Have you ever flown it on fpv? also do you wreckon you could fit sum one in it and use it as a normal plane when u feel like it! awsome plane and gr8 vid
why is it illegal to fly in us ? i have a friend that has an 80% F4-U and he flys it all the time at the local field here in FL.. his plane has a custom wankle rotory on it. really neet plane. he used to have a video of it on youtube someware.
Nice plane. Is it me or does it seem a little underpowered (Maybe engine running in i duno) Would love to see a nitro kit maybe added. All same insurance company if any must crap themselves when it takes off.
@SuperCubLP Oh that is an easy question to answer. "To just do it." Nothing in this hobby has to make sense. It is whatever satisfies you. You design it, built it, fly it.
If he would have went the other way around and built a palm size rc plane. The same reason applies. ;-)
@SuperCubLP ITS call show off lol, thatz the only way i could describe... first you can't really fly anywhere that can be safe, second you can't do any 3d, 3rd it cost a fortune to build one and fourth everyone hate you when ever you fly your model, coz no one want to mid air with you... fuk.... yeap i'm totally agreed with you, whats the freaken point...
I know a lot of people would disagree but I'm with you on that one, when you get to building 'models' that size, you might as well invest the same dollar and build a manned aircraft.
There is no law in the US that limits the size of an RC model. That's balogney. There are documented full sized general aviation aircraft that have dual human and RC controls in the US. Seen a 100% RC J-3 Cub demo with my own eyes in the late 80's.
The AMA is a private organization with zero civil or legal authority. It's their club rules, not a law. Although the AMA would lead you to believe otherwise, an individual does not have to belong to the AMA to operate a model in the US. The AMA can only control the club fields insured by their underwriters.
@annihil8ted - I've never heard of the 80 inch limitation. Nearly all of my RC arcraft are over 80 inches in wing span. Are you refering to fuselage length?
I know you have to have an FAA waiver for anything over 55 lbs (requires airworthiness inspection by FAA and a special cert).
If you follow the FAA guidelines it is certainly not illegal.
The only law on the books I can find in my 2008 copy of Federal Aviation Regulations is that turbine powered fixed wing model aircraft are prohibited in 'populated areas'.
Amazing project, great job. But I have to wonder why stop at 70%?, just a little bigger and you can throw the radio out and get in and fly it yourself. Once you've gone this big, why not go all the way?

HA! You're full of it dude.
80% isn't much smaller than 82% scale, and that's the size of a full scale P-51.
Search for "corsair82" on google.
It uses a 450hp radial, not a Wankel rotary.
I would estimate the cost is at least $250K with free labor to build something that size.
Nobody builds an airworthy quarter million dollar corsair capable of carrying a human pilot at 300mph and then turn it into an RC plane.
I love RC flying, but I'd rather fly the thing myself at that point.

The AMA can only control the club fields insured by their underwriters.

Incorrect, there are FAA regulations regarding aircraft of that size. The AMA is just the organization that acts on those regulations.

@annihil8ted - I've never heard of the 80 inch limitation. Nearly all of my RC arcraft are over 80 inches in wing span. Are you refering to fuselage length?
I know you have to have an FAA waiver for anything over 55 lbs (requires airworthiness inspection by FAA and a special cert).
If you follow the FAA guidelines it is certainly not illegal.

Rules may be different now? After 9/11 everything changed about air craft...

The only law on the books I can find in my 2008 copy of Federal Aviation Regulations is that turbine powered fixed wing model aircraft are prohibited in 'populated areas'.

Amazing project, great job. But I have to wonder why stop at 70%?, just a little bigger and you can throw the radio out and get in and fly it yourself. Once you've gone this big, why not go all the way?

because the price of the engine, grows almost exponencially... every 7%more and the price doubles.

It would degrade it from a very large unique rc plane to just a plane.
