ESM Pilatus PC-21, AWESOME 73" Electric RC Plane - First 3 flights

[1mike252]

Hello magnificent and beautiful plane, the electric motor is a correct decision, the noise of a gasoline engine would eclipse the flight of this nice plane.

Please can you tell me the weight of the airplane in flight?

Thanks, you have good flights.

Price?

[toddsher2112]

@farizfariz $420 for the plane kit, $150 or so to ship it to you, plus maybe $500 in electronics and gear.

Bl**dy music spoils the sound of the plane. If I want music I'll turn my radio on!!!! Otherwise it's a nice video.

[tomrx10]

what sound system do U use?

[toddsher2112]

@tomrx10 It's a custom setup. No speakers or sound module, just a small internal EDF blowing air through 7 whistles. Works pretty well, and is light.

great flying and great video but man, what's up with the music? the sound of your gorgeous aircraft is drowned by it.

Sweet!

Excellent Job.....great plane and great video. Thanks.

[flyr602]

nice im about to fly one from hobby lobby--are u using 3 or 4 cells

[toddsher2112]

@flyr602 This is a MUCH larger plane than the Hobby-Lobby one. This one is nearly 90 inches long and is flying on 12 cells, 5000mah.

[warbirdp51]

Real a great job! Could you please give me informations about the sound modul?

Thanks and regards from germany.

@kuba140272

Jest to piękne miejsce, z fantastycznych ludzi. Chciałbym latać tam częściej.

[dannybeaross]

Nice plane, whats the all up weight and what power set up are you using?

[Aerovids]

Superb video !

[toddsher2112]

@Aerovids et al.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Couldn't have done it without my buddy Jeff, who shot the videos. He deserves most of the credit. He'd just crashed a plane and was nice enough to hop over and shoot vid for me anyway. Good guy that!

Hi, I live near the Pilatus factory and can often see these great airplanes live. If you visit to Switzerland to visit the Pilatus factory - is very interesting. You fly your Pilatus in a very beautiful place. Is this in Arizona?

[toddsher2112]

@mfvsz

Wow! K, when we finally make it to Switzerland, I'll treat you to dinner if you drive with me down to the factory to check it out! :)

I live in Northern Utah. My friends and I drive down to Southern Utah several times a year to their club fly-ins. This is filmed in St. George, which is just over the border from Nevada (close to Las Vegas). Southern Utah looks much like Arizona.

Very nice plane. greets from switzerland !

[toddsher2112]

Thanks mfvsz!

I'll bet you see these beautiful planes flying around all the time! My wife and I planned a trip to Switzerland & Austria this year, and were going to go to Mt. Pilatus, and see if we could find where these planes are flown from so I could see one in person. But the tour company cancelled our group tour... not enough people signed up. I'm so mad! I've been looking forward to that trip for a year.

Some day I'll get there and get to see a PC-21 in person!

[QUICKIEOPEL]
