10 EDF RC plane ''the beast'' (Music video)

[1legofreak]

there are a whole bunch of comments asking what the song is, so i will as well. i'm guessing that it is by europe, but i have no clue what the song name is.

[1legofreak]

dang if you are using a 2s, you could get like 2 4000 mah nano tech batteries in parallel. fly forever :O

[mrfourtysevenman]

you dont have any problem with lift. its got all that thrust right on the wing!

[rcpilot14]

what song is this

[cornybuddy]

can u watch the on board cam live or u just record and then u just watch it?

[legoliker7517]

Awesome! Maybe it should be named the Antonov 250 or C-10!

[MrYoyi96]

@legoliker7517 or c-225 or an-5 :)

[doggy5723]

thats beast

[catamaranman333]

WTF? 2100 mah 2s battery? as in ONE SINGLE 2-cell is running 10 EDFs?

[FoamandTape]

@catamaranman333 hahaha thats right each motor pulls 4 amps and the battery has a max of 44 A burst (its a Thunderpower) which is why it can fly without the lipo puffing

[RoboTekno]

epic

[ivanchantt]

awsome plane man!

love it

[avgrech]

where can i get those plans ?

[ODMSys]

Neat concept!

[simflyer97]

This was at E-Fest 2008 wasn't it

[rcflyboynj]

He used 2 Cells; 7.4 Volts. Foam and Tape, any thoughts about plans? Also, does that thing have ailerons? I think it would be pretty hard to control with just rudder, elevator, and throttle. Keep up the great work

Nate

[FoamandTape]

it does have ailerons, LOL, it would be impossible to keep up with indoors if it didint.

as for plans, I have none, and I'm not sure if anyone would even want to buy that many EDF's

[kdknitro]

this is pretty awsome what volt lipos did you use, just curious

[slyfoxflyer66]

reminds me of the antonav

[FoamandTape]

its the wicked off spring of a C-5 and an antonov 225 XD

[BeeZee2]

Awesome!... I'm impressed at how maneuverable that big beast is!! The aerial camera work is great... What camera are you using?

[FoamandTape]

Nikon S210

[Slider388]

Sweet plane!

what are flight times like?

[FoamandTape]

about 10-12 minutes... I think?

[Slider388]

thats pretty good, nice!

[helipassion]

I'd be really grateful if you'd explain how you powered the 10 EDF and then how you throttled them all up... have you done a technical video on this plane? Great idea, super footage... all of it!

[FoamandTape]

they're all brushed motors, so I wired them to 2 30 amp ESC's in parrallel and thats pretty much it!!! It sounds super complicated but it was actually easy to do!

[helipassion]

Thanks for the quick reply. I was enjoying "The Final Countdown" when you replied... Not letting the tank on the cargo plane, was hi-larious! Aren't you too young to know these songs? I grew up with those tunes! I figured you grew up with Brittany Spears... oops she did it again! Keep up the great work! You'll be film stars soon, I'm sure!

[FoamandTape]

LOL, I hate today's songs (atleast most of them) I like the 80's though!

[kwheel16]

Did you make it from plans i really am inspired to build one but maybe half that size did u desine it

[FoamandTape]

its designed by me, pencil and paper.. Thats how all of em are made :D

plz post video response if you do!!

[kwheel16]

what's the wing span on that thing

[FoamandTape]

about 6 Ft 8 inches? I never measured it, its taller than me!!

[madagascarjenkins]

I've been thinking of making a scaled down c-5 with 4 edf's. Any advice or plans for this plane?

[FoamandTape]

try to add alittle more wing area to the plane (I also built a C-17 which ran on 4 edf-40's) It did not flywell at all and took full power to fly (it had a full fusalage wich atrubuted to weight problems :(

[wildhover]

nice plane but what i thought was even cooler was the aireal video footage using the other plane. definate 5 stars. Journey would be proud- LOL

[LIPOPILOT]

Very COOL man...3 thumbs up

[BrotherBloat]

epic idea! :D

[ehwanaskatetoday]

very appropriate name

rudder and elevator only right?

[kydawg1]

AWESOME!!!!

[FoamandTape]

ailerons too

LOL, accidently deleted the other commet, the flaps are fixed they dont move

[therock27374]

10 motors???? Can you sit on it and have the thing lift you or what :D And what kind of flight times did you get with it?

[FoamandTape]

hahaha, LOL I cant sit on it yet

the flight times are about 8-10 miniutes

[rcFoamFighters]

Awesome plane! Thats cool, 10 motors.  5 stars! Keep up the good work!

[airlinerdude12]

i saw this in a model airplane magazine, this flew at indoors!!!!. its a monster

look like an antonov 225 if it were in the US

[FoamandTape]

haha, yep I was aiming at. breeding an 225 with a C-5 (this is what the plane would look like if they had babies)

[orandaboy]

NICE plane i really like it 5 stars

[RCFLIGHTHELP]

Awesome Video !

[youtwoba]

Got to give it to you in this one 10/10. Amazing job. It must be really light. Great flight great camera work and great build!!!!! Let's see some more!!!!!

[cyberteque]

Holy crap!

I've heard of the Starlifter being called "Aluminium Overcast", but this has got to be "Foam Overcast"!

Great work!

10/10!!!

[FoamandTape]

haha, yup its even bigger while flying indoors :0

[rctestflight]

did you build that? I saw it in flyrc magizine. thats one of the coolest planes I have ever seen

[FoamandTape]

yup, I designed it :D

[rctestflight]

NICE, I love that plane

[cambigfoot88]

great camera work!!

[FoamandTape]

thanks, it was probily one of the hardest things to film especially if the big plane was slower than a slow stick plane

[stag7533]

That is to sick

[FoamandTape]

thanks!

[cambigfoot88]

omg 8 motors!!!!!!

[FoamandTape]

LOL 10 motorz

[cambigfoot88]
