Sam's Rafale RC Jet - Turbine Engine

[alkscpbraga]

hello like to know where and who bought the plane .... url is the store where you bought ... thanks

[MrFigge]

Is that a JAS 39 Gripen ?? it sure does look like it :)

[treedeegraphicsutube]

Nope, it is a Rafale (French Fighter Jet).

Note the carnards at the front.

[wgjhey]

Rafales Rule!

[rustler92]

Its nice how much did it cost you all up?

[treedeegraphicsutube]

It's not mine, it's my friend's jet. I believe he spent around $6K to 8K on it.

[Luigi637]

Why has it got the R.A.F symbol on. The R.A.F only ordered the eurofighter typhoon

[treedeegraphicsutube]

It is not an RAF symbol. It just looks like it... you can't tell in the video it is too fuzzy.

that plane can hit supersonics... the rc model by the way

[treedeegraphicsutube]

Nope, this jet can only go about 200 mph. You need to exceed 761 mph to be supersonic. This model jet can not go that fast. And even if someone made one that could you would not be able to control it. If you are hearing strange noises, the video sound is distorted because the video camera can not handle the frequency response that the jet engine sound makes. Also if you hear the sound shifting and delayed, you are likely hearing a dopler effect. This is not due to the supersonic phenomena.

Welcome to the biggest flaw of digital audio. Only 2 samples to draw a circle (360deg sine) at 22khz audio with a 44k sample rate. So sad. Vinyl ftw!

[treedeegraphicsutube]

Vinyl is worse all the analog sound is compressed into a small frequency range with those dumb RIAA curves. I'd rather have a the limitation on sampling rate which gets it right 99% of the time than losing dynamic range on the RIAA curve 100% of the time. Future digital audio standards will not have these issues... BTW, the 44kHz digital audio standard is over 30 years old!

[lazzer408]

Try telling that to an audiophile. ;)

[DrRiderX]

o hear you well 370mph is very fast a friend flew one that fast for about 10sec didn't crashed it landed.. had to re tune it..

[spectrex1]

What would happen if i sat on the back of one of these? Do they have enough power to fly me away do you think ?

[treedeegraphicsutube]

Nothing, it only has like 28 lbs of thrust.

You can hold it down with your hands or legs.

[moss1transcendant]

yea it is real nice, i would never buy anything like that id just nail it into ground

[treedeegraphicsutube]

Yep, there are other videos here on You-Tube where the folks did just that! It's an expensive hobby!

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

That engine has a very bad sounding whine to it, sounds like its trying to tune in a radio station.

[treedeegraphicsutube]

That's what an engine sound like that idles at 30000 RPM and max's out at 100000 RPM. ;-)

[danebrewer10]

Hell that's cool!

[Guaradon]

Lovely how much

I am trying to find a decent priced turbine too put into my f-22 model

[treedeegraphicsutube]

I'm guessing everything total 8K to 10K range.

My friend is a tweaker, he spares no expense.

[weipeiwu2000]

did he build the plane himself?

[treedeegraphicsutube]

Yes, it is a kit from Tamjets

[timboy666]

nice pland would love to see it fly

[treedeegraphicsutube]

It's my friend's plane.  When I get a chance I will video it flying. Yes it is very nice.
