Fly-Fly Mig 29 Foamie RC plane with turbine engine

[paperaircraft12]

how muct the mini turbine cost?

[SuperAwais1111]

wow

[11DUSTOFF]

that is very cool,ive never seen anything like like,nice video,love it

[BichoManjaleu]

Need to be lucky not to burn it all. I liked it.

[pavcon]

waaayyy underpowered.. better with the EDF units :P

[spoada]

you titiled this right....my electric 4s edfs are 85mph level flight. what was that turbine for?.....would a 55mm edf epo work. like the banana hobby series??

[mythicalhell]

was the flight slow and cut short due to the wind?

[xjet]

@mythicalhell It was windy but the turbine wasn't producing nearly enough power to keep the model (safely) in the air. The owner will turn up the RPMs before trying again as it had been dialed back a little in the name of reliability.

[mythicalhell]

@xjet oh ok, thanks for responding so quickly. I forgot to say that his jet is sweet looking too. I'm guessing (as a newb) it was electric converted to turbine. Anyway, sweet!

[MusicalAndTall]

That plane would be worth over $2000 no?

[stephen5150]

Very cool, must say if one jet engine is ok... 2 would be really great

[gripchion]

Easy Easy!!!! Sorry for being observant to the surroundings. Conspiracy I say!!! Just havin a little fun don't get so twisted zyoungson.

[pushinold]

That was a great video. I did expect a little more speed, but the wind was obviously very strong.

[startazz]

That was a shame but at least he had a go right ;-) oh you could also see where the turbine had burnt the foam on the inside but at least it got in the air and flew a circuit.

[marinjeam]

what,s the point of all those turbine,s which cost,s a lot of money and have no power but, I have to admit, it does look very scale flying because of the slow speed haha

[thekneedrag]

This is one plane that perhaps it would have been better leaving the EDF's installed. ;-)

[ksandom40]

I haven't seen a turbine that small/lite before. How much does that little engine cost? Is it any cheaper than the larger versions?

[chideockleigh]

Maybe a little tail heavy too?

[gripchion]

Those had to be fake wind noises look at 3:29 the wind sock is limp!!!! Cool little setup, I do agree.

[xjet]

@gripchion No, it was windy -- our airfield has three windsocks and they usually point in three different directions while indicating three different strengths. The camera also picks up wind noise quite readily.

[zyoungson]

@gripchion why the hell would you bother editing in fake wind noise anyway? its just a bloody pain to edit and to listen to. besides, that wind sock it miles away and may have even been sheltered by the trees

[gripchion]

@zyoungson Are you admitting to trying to edit in wind noise!!! Just jokin around don't get so twisted.

[SvenOkonomi]

That has bad idea written all over it.

[mythicalhell]

Is that the fastest it can go due to the lightness of the plane? Also, is that faster than the electric motors that seem to have been in her before? Thanks.

5/5

[TheLipRipp3r]

That is a cool little setup, though!

[3dkat1]

Nice video , lucky that wind wasn't any stronger :)

[crazystufffff]

underpowered much?
