Its hard to tell with a 2D video but the sink rate is fast on these and the video quality does not show the height of the individual desert shrub branches and the barbed wire fence at the end of the field. Pulling elevator does bleed off speed but the plane clears obstructions and is able to fly again.

nice to have something like this BUT i'd rather fly a real ultralight airplane than such a big rc plane

thanks for the info.. I know about the carbon rods to reinforce foam wings, just wondered what a typical foam core fuse. would need to enable the paint to stick to it and look this good, the plane in the video is really cool. I never considered passenger jets a modeling topic until I have seen them here. In the smaller scale models they really do look awesome...................... Jeff

@subron6er Foam is usually strengthened by carbon fiber rods... this plane is prob not at all foam... this is all balsa wood looks like..... Foam is usually not covered only with paint... This plane was prob covered by either monokoat or ultracoat....

I get it that these jets are scratch built and foam, question is once you have the parts made and beefed up, what do you cover the foam with to give it some strength? Thanks Jeff, cool vid..
