@killirishred must have been a while since you where at an air show... they do it all the time. i saw it several times last week at oshkosh airventure
@killirishred be realistic it would be stupid to do it inches from the ground. think of the scale of the plane, the entry speed this maneuver requires makes it impossible to do it that low to the ground. i thought you meant the principal of getting a plane to hang from its prop. that can be done, but that close to the ground no you are right it has not been done and probably never will be done.
@shawnson133 My comments were all in good fun, A little unrealistic humor if you will. and i agree it would be stupid to try and prop hang inches from the ground. i have tried to find footage of a real plane doing a prop hang but i can only find model planes. Have you really seen a plane prop hang the way models do? i've tried to find footage of such an event, but no luck
its funny that even though English and Americans use the same language and words it ends up so different,,,,yet understandable. funny that and chears,
@ErikJenssen It's a plane sold by Al's Hobbies in the UK. driven by a 200 cc petrol engine, I believe. Any biplane with a correct C or G will be able to hover given enough power to weight.
@MajorSterling Yes, i know :-) I do quite a lot of 3D flying with models up to 60-size, and now im looking for a giant scale plane that performs well. I want to buy a Pitts Challenger, and need good advice for the best choice. I have a 150 cc to cylindre DL engine ready in my hangar. Would this engine be enough to hover this plane?
@MajorSterling That I couldn't tell you. My advice would be to ring Al's Hobbies in Milton Keynes, UK and speak to Al himself and ask him specifically what engine James Norris uses. He'll also know whether the engine you have is up top the job. - The Major
simple pull hard up while not leting the plaine stall and when it gose nose up balance with the elevators, rudder and throtel.... :) s far as i know it's refered to as hanging ps never flown but i reeserch
i must say i am impressed. i've seen many an R/C pilot put a plane into a shock stall and tare it apart, yet this pilot kept her together through every stunt he did. amazing. and the hover sequences were extraordinary. i'm at a total loss for words. WOW
You were not completely off with your comment though. I didn't read the info, and had heard that the Pitt could do amazing stuff + I also have to play the alcohol card;)
Hi everyone. This Is my plane. Didn't know this video was on here to be honest. We all have our own ways in how and what we do when flying, I know my limits and tend to stick to what I know. Im not there to Impress I couldn't If I tried lol Im their for the enjoyment and hope people enjoy It to. I admire everyones flying no matter what they do.
do you have any tips on balancing of a biplane? i've recently been flying an eflite ultimate 20-300. i've just noticed that alpha manuevers and hovering are nothing like that of a single low wing 3d plane like a yak .this is my first bipe and i'm still experimenting. the power setup is locked in, but balancing of the weight has been my issue. making it more tail heavy will help of course, but what about weight high or low in the fueselage? any tips about bipes would be greatly appreciated.
@BRANDORC To be honest mate I set mine up level I don't have It nose or tail heavy due to the fact It makes It better for normal flying and to sort of alter it for say prop hanging wasn't really worth it. They are more tricky than a monoplane in the hover but once you master it like everything really they are more impressive In my view
@mossa19844891 how come u claim this is your plane when u dont even have any video to prove it... i can also claim this is my plain but i wont because this is not my video and not my plane at all...
@edwin4759 I do have another video on here actually which I put on from the same weekend as this video with a camera on bored but if you really want to check this is mine I will be at cosford next weekend so come along and see me
Glass and B4its. Its guys like both of you that wreck it for the rest of us. Everyone should be able to share the field no matter what or how you fly. Its about the fun that we are having flying model planes. Not about how we fly them. Or how old we are when we fly them. I know plenty of guys that most of you would consider old farts than could fly circles around you or hover in the middle of your circle.
If even 5% of the 3D RC flyers today could fly as good as this guy I would gain some tolerance for all the frickin prop hanging BS that F's up good RC clubs. There are way to many ass's with 200+cc ARTF's that can hardly fly final let alone land, but they can spend 10 min doing the f,in weed wacker. This guy learned to fly first I am sure of it from the intent in his lines and pitch and roll rates. Hats off to this chap and may all you other ass's buy helicopters and stay home in your backyard.
Best part is, people with your attitude won't be around the clubs much longer. ie OLD blind farts. You pinhead fliers are jealous that us young cats can do this shit and it wow the crowds much more than your washed up cubs. What a way to welcome newcomers to the hobby. Dick. Wrecking clubs...man its asstards like you that ruin good clubs and give them bad reputations. Out with the old and in with the new! Learn to adapt or be left behind.
OK! nice video and plane by way, when you go this large and the price tag for suck a big plane, do you install gyro's keep it from crashing? Im sure there are expert pilots out there that dont need them but id almost put my money this plane has them for sure watching the control surfaces
That makes no sense? not alot of room for what? if i was going fly a big old plane like that id feel better off with some type of stablization, id hate ditch because last second error on my part
I am in the hobby and was just trying to answer your question. When you fly at this level, you do not put a gyro on your plane. I own a 33% Pitts, 50cc.
Sure why not? Whats wrong with gyro,s some people dont understand the "Aid" , some think there better then computer controlled? Personly with that much money flying, if gyro craps out? (I doubt) it would be same as any other electronic failure (if thats what you are hinting to) I guess no one knows
hello, No there are no gyro's in it, I have never liked them to be honest. To me really using them your not flying the plane yourself. May sound a bit strange but you do tend to know after flying it for a bit what's going to happen before it happens if you know what I mean.
I totally agree. I always say, when flying rc, you are never reacting, only acting, cuz if you're reacting, you've already crashed. You always have to stay one step ahead of your aircraft. Plus a gyro is just another "electronic" weak link in the chain.
No gyro. These guys don't need them anyway. they probly have been flying all their life. gyros don't work well on airplanes anyway. it would make the plane do things that you couldn't control.
Gryos don't keep planes from crashing! Besides if this plane had gyro's it would be more"locked" in hover, the way he's controlling it in hover is apparent there's no gryos. Gryo equipped plane will hover "hands free" and no self-respecting pilot with the ability to fly such a plane would do that! (Thats' like buying a top of the line "Crotch Rocket" and putting training wheels on it! lol)
Might aswell just build an oldschool S1C with a 100hp continental and a wooden prop. Probably wouldn't cost much more and if you build it light you can qualify for the sport pilot category and you don't even need a medical. :)
This airplane is real... it's just not full scale. For a full-scale plane capable of hovering, look up the "Turbine Toucan" - it will be able to hover, but they are still developing it. The prototype flies, but they have a lot of testing to do still.
Yes. There were projects in the 50s to develop vertical takeoff fighters. They were tailsitter designs, and had to takeoff and land in the vertical. Looked quite uncomfortable for the pilots. Look up x-13 vertijet, convair pogo, or tailsitter. The x-13 (or one of?) is in the usaf museum at dayton, oh.
Yep...Jurgis Kairis does it with his SU-31...check out some of his vids, you'll find one where he torques/hovers the plane very fast, cause he usually does it at every show he flies at.
Any plane requiring over 30cc will usually be powered by a two-stroke gasoline engine (like a chain saw, moped). The fuel used is regular unleaded 95 mixed with 5% two stroke oil.
In my own defence, I must not have been watching the first few seconds of the clip and the audio was so bad most of the time I couldn't tell what language was being spoken (smiley face)
