After a long hiatus, I am back to building RC airplanes! Here I am doing an idle test on the motors of my Spruce Goose. 100-inch wingspan and 7.5 pound all up weight. She is built of rigid foam insulation (fuselage) and blue fan fold foam (wings). Maiden flight probably after Thanksgiving 2010.

  • Looks nice! isn't it overpowered with all the engines?-- i fly one third wider glider (same weight) with a single motor.

  • @hallobaaaby Thanks! It needs to be hand launched, so all the power is appreciated. That said, you're motor is probably a lot more powerful than each of these motors.

  • very nice model of an truly iconic aeroplane ! , just like the wright flyer :-)

  • @thenicedudejay Thanks! I have a video of her flying on her maiden. She did great!

  • hey what are you using to control this awesome plane?

  • @lilboone9866 I use a Spektrum DX6i digital 2.4ghz radio.

  • Sucks they all don't work

  • @greenseaships nice, ive been in the actual plane :)

  • Awesome, can you build a mini howard hughes for the cockpit?

  • @nolifewithoutrc10 Gas is alright, My comment had nothing to do with me ripping on electrics though. Now did it?

    But I am a nice guy and respond with the benefits that I know of.

    You will put a years worth of gas into a giant scale model, probably twice that much, before it equals the cost of one battery for a giant scale model.

    Gas can be landed, fueled, and flown again right away as well.

    There is nothing wrong with flying gas and there is no better one. I like both. glow power is nice too

  • @RCvehicleGuy gas is far worse than electric.

    1. it costs a fortune on gas money

    2. much heavier, meaning bigger planes

    3. more expensive overall
