the eurofighter was developed between u.k.italy france spain and germany america had nothing to do with it they hav,nt even bought it so why is it decked out in usaf decals?
thats got be hard as hell to get used to flying and especially landing those things from a controller.. considering that they can go up to about 200 mph. its hard enough using a regular yoke and pedals on a flight simulator, but i also need more practice too tho lol. i can tell you have done lots of practicing.
It looks like and exact replica, (a very nice one at that) but I have to ask the question. How come the real aircraft is so inherently unstable that it is impossible to fly with out on board computer aid, and yet you have succeeded with just basic control of the control surfaces. Good pilot by the way.
Delta wings do fly very stable. It is just the way the pilot steers it makes it look jittery. But that is what he wants. It's all about thrill. Flying model planes is definitely a thrill - no matter what.
Absolutely. However I trust that you understand that the original aircraft is inherently unstable despite the delta formation how is the model so 'flyable'?
I KNOW! But regardless of why the origional was designed so, given that it requires computors inorder to fly it how does an exact replica (ie. with the same aerodynamics) fly with just basic servo driven controls through a radio unit? Get it now?
i understand wat ur sayin, i spose it could be slightly different, the wings on the model look more ridgid and probably dont move as much in flight as the real thing, if you have seen the real thing in a turn at an airshow for example, you would easily notice that the give in the wings are enormous, the wings appear to bend upwards in the turn! unless the model is made of the exact titanium used on the typhoon? cus that wud blow everythin i jus sed out the window n then i wudnt no why?
Yeah I have put it down to the fact that the range of maneuvers available to the pilot of the real plane are closer to the edge of the flight envelope, and some times beyond. The model only has a standard set of maneuvers available to it. I have to say that I think it is very little to do with airframe flex.
Certainly the wrong wing markings there!!

Umm...Eurofighter, not Yankeefighter!
Anyway, it's awesome, regardless of decals/paint. :D

add that no aircraft is able to fly without computer and the f22 is an example

the real eurofighter typhoon was purposely designed to be aerodynamicaly unstable to make it as agile as possible in a dogfight

I had the same question to the pilot; Guess he wants to avoid the impression being unpatriotic. I just shot the vid.
