  • Dear Sir,

    I have A380 rc airplane, but i hope to buy rc America West 747 like your airplane, so please tell me where can i buy this airplane ?

  • very scale takeoff !

    

  • when i am older i wish to be an airline pilot/ military aviator... but for now i ave been looking for some scale rc aircraft that are inexpensive... i am willing to put lots of time into a model as a i am a student and dont have a job.... i was just wondering if you have any tips....thanks

  • I am just curious as to why there is so much anhederal instead of dihederal on the wings?

  • 5:05  nice landing;)

  • Wwo, that's big, frame 2:50. How do you transport it?

  • i love it!! the speed is almost scale and the way it lands. Can you post some build pictures please?

  • very nice

  • @magicmike1122 if you look carefully this model has only two EDFs and two dummy nacelles. Remember two batteries are being used and this can be compensated for by the greater wing loading capacity of the 747 airframe. It's probably not as nimble as the eflite 777 but the scale and the 5kts stall speed make this an impressive scratch build in my books.

  • @magicmike1122 if you look carefully this model has only two EDFs and two dummy nacelles. More flight time needs a greater mA/h rating on the battery, which means a heavier battery. Aeronautical design is all about compromise. The fact that this is a) a scratch build and b) is light enough to do a rolling take off on only 2 EDFs is very impressive, and should not be compared to a commercial model designed and built using teams of engineers and expensive molding construction techniques
