8 m Duo Discus by Radim Horky

[hallobaaaby]

For EXACTLY the same work/effort you could build/fly a glider in person kommon guys! i mean..i build small planes just to put FPV cameras in them but with the huge models you make i don't see the point of them being RC...

[Ghraladean]

I'm speechless.

[camlinhall]

I've a Discus 4m waiting for me to assemble...do you know where I can get instructions? Maybe assembly's not hard, but...

[danspy56]

Nice machine, congrats. :)

[kamakazi8888]

[legovogel1]

@REALDualDesertEagle

I think you should seek some conseling about that rage of yours.

people like you with uncontrollable anger end up killing innocent people on the streets.

Please... seek help before it is to late,

[godfree2canada]

install a nose cam

[tascheri]

beatiful. the bigger they get, the better they fly.

[mannhorn34]

These guys look like they are rich! Have any of you ever thought of that?

[666XkrmaX666]

OMG!!!!! thats so freaking HUGE!!!!

[YoungPilot350]

I like flying the real one, in full scale :)

Its an awesome machine.

[mechmove]

real nice, love the large scale gliders!

[OghamTheBold]

Good job you got the scale the right way round

Otherwise you would have made it bigger than the real thing

[temaskell08]

u should try a winch launch

[michelcamargue]

BRAVO ! et bonne maitrise du vol...y a pas à dire super les grandes plumes...

[fsxmaniac]

take your cat for a ride :D

[Rindlis]

great planes and so.....big LOL

[QuickEvolution]

cool !!

[yputup]

I wonder if there is any dead stick with gliders.

[RadimHorky]

Hi all, thanks for all reaction. It is not maidel flight, but first with 10 kg of water ballast . My first experience with so high ballasting. Model was pulled on trim in the air and after releasing water is to light on nose, so landing is not good, to slow. Minimal speed is uder 40 km/h and no chance to get to spin, it´s wery stable plane. Radim

[andgate2000]

How do you thermal in a country that so cold?????????

[fsxmaniac]

@andgate2000 as long as the ground is warmer than the air. thermals pop up everywere

[xratzix]

do it have an engine as the read Discus has? :)

[ssgtakeo]

Gorgeous model.

[xoboita]

boa belo video e modelo tambem

[kolo007]

Nádhera klobuk dole....

[Yafra46]

Figa se e gigante .. come fate a vederli....

[vanepico]

its like dead sticking except with a bit more time!

[Ryan130376]

It IS coming in with a dead stick every time, only that hose planes are designed to do that and they do it very well :)

[paulkazjack]

we all land our models time and time again,no one claps at our field!unless someones crashed into one of the cows!

[caroleo1234]

@paulkazjack vc não pode ser muitoagresivo assim

[seppekhu]

@paulkazjack but this is really big shit =D

[svenstar123]

@paulkazjack lmao it happened to me once! I had to pay a shit loads of money ^^ (killed it )

[poikilotherm1]

@paulkazjack You're not all flying 8m scale sailplanes though are you? ; P

[paulkazjack]

@poikilotherm1 Neither are they;-)

[superstocktx]

Damn...thats a huge rc glider!!!!

[daddyofjames]

Can I just add one thing...Not very safe practice a crowd around a prop as it's being fired up...

[daddyofjames]

C'mon guys, be honest those of us who fly R/c know deep down they're big boys toys! Lovely ship having said that. The big scalies bring their own set of special needs-I saw one recently that has it's own shed,with air con and central heating-so the wings don't warp!

[VUO4E]

Amazing. People still tend to clap hands when a big rc model lands. If only they knew how easy it is to fly big planes...lol

[maxcontinuous]

Perhaps it was a maiden or he invited some friends to come watch. Why do you have a problem with the applause? Would you have preferred a crash?

[VUO4E]

I don't wish for that to happen. Always a pity. If it was a maiden, ok. If it wasn't: "if people only knew how easy it is to fly big planes". Maybe the're clapping hands for his big wallet...

[tamiyamann]

But gliders such as these tend to "tip stall" at very low speeds. And why not clap? R/C models of any size aren't easy. Yes, the bigger ones can be more docile, or easier to fly. But to the general public (that is if they aren't too busy calling them toys...) it can be amazing to see one land an aircraft that big smoothly. So it really depends on your point of view.

Nice flight none the less.

[GliderPilotRR]

Someone is a bit jealous...

[paulkazjack]

im still cringing with that applause!!!

[Alup62893]

Wow. Increadible. Great job.

[Alup62893]

Very nice. I'm about to finish me 1.5m Chrysalis Electric Sailplane. First E. Sailplane too! Stepping up from park flyers.

[tamiyamann]

Nice, your gonna love it! Just remember it CAN glide, and try not to force landings and you'll do fine.

[slyputz]

Wow, impressive for a maiden flight. Looked a bit light in the nose on final, otherwise perfect.

[mordoringer]

yes, maybe I am a bit rude, but if you are so much against rudeness why did you post that first, very rude in my opinion, comment?

[LIQUIDAVIATION]

Hey mordoringer, i'm with you on this one, that guy dosn't know what he's talking about! He can't take rudeness when he is rude himself and he think's this glider is a toy? Yeah right, obviously greatness is beyond him, this is stunning!

[mordoringer]

thanks,agreed.

[LIQUIDAVIATION]

No problem bro!

[paulkazjack]

WHATS ALL THE CLAPPING ABOUT???

[mordoringer]

what do you think?

[bestlifter]

What a nice flying~!!!! It's awesome~

[MastaMag]

Wonderful!

[SubwayToSAN]

Beautiful ship *_* Love it

[Ramster211]

i wanah use my Super Cub as an air tow!

[rcsjaa]

The 8M should give a clue though :)

[TommyStokke]

me to, lol LOL lol

[libork]

I use "rc" (radio control) instead of your "toy".

[illefille]

it's not what controls the plane, it's who controls the plane...

[robotwarsaintdead]

@libork if this is a "toy" then full scale gliders are jsut slightly bigger toys. i keep on finding videos of your bigger silly toys trying to look for videos of smaller toys soaring. so shup .

[mordoringer]

you should shut up tardis, this man made this glider by himself which I bet you cannot, you should give him some respect instead of this bullshit.

[tardis666]

He made a just a toy.

[mordoringer]

you're hopeless

[tardis666]

That Might be your opinion. My opinion is that you are also very rude.

[collierwest]

@tardis666 I thought even the '8m' part of the title made it pretty obvious that it wasn't a real full sized glider.

[REALDualDesertEagle]

@tardis666 Oh, c'mon, read the damn title! Which real glider has a wingspan of only 8 meters? And also, RC planes aren't fuckin toys, especially not this one! You should have a look at the price for a model like this!

[tardis666]

@REALDualDesertEagle

Who said anything about 8m span. All I am saing that posts of toys should be tagged as toys, so I could make a search like "duo discus -toy".

Or are you suggesting I should be searchin by "duo discus -8m -9m -oneandahalfmeters -godknowsinhowmanyspansatoycan­bemade" ?

[REALDualDesertEagle]

@tardis666 No, I'm suggesting to read the fuckin title! In this case there's "8 m" in it, so it IS actually tagged as RC-PANE and can NOT be a real one coz the real one has WAY MORE than 8 meters wingspan! And again RC-PLANES ARE NO GOD FUCKIN TOYS!!!!! IF A 6-YEAR OLD FLEW THIS THING HE WOULD CRASH IT, SO IT'S NOT A TOY!!!! And if i u still think it is go jump off a high building (WITHOUT parachute)!

[tardis666]

@REALDualDesertEagle

Why all this hostility? Just because I am not excited by this toys I should die?

I think you are a frustrated evil man. Just go back to playing with toys and lighten up.

[JaleelJohanson62]

@tardis666 You need to add 're' at the front of your username. LOL

[sterby1]

@tardis666 Go away troll, no one wants you

[vickishortland]

@tardis666 Hardly a toy u idiot. Toy is wot children play with. That is far from a toy! Its a RC glider.

[paulkazjack]

@vickishortland still a toy tho'

[JaleelJohanson62]

@tardis666 Funny.. I find annoying little crybabies who try and pretend they're 'real men' just as annoying.. Go kill yourself in a 'real' sailplane for all anyone cares. LOL
