@jouest I would be terrified of trying to fly it. It’s too beautiful to risk taking it into the air in the hands of anyone less qualified than that pilot.
@Star2236 They’ve never discussed the cost of making it, but given the amount of carbon fiber and workmanship involved (there are videos of the whole process), it would have to be mid-five-figures at the very least. Just think about the size of trailer needed to take it to a show; even with the wings off, it’s huge!
Yes not a drone. I know. I did see this a couple weeks ago for some maybe algorithm reason. Maybe pilot crash stuff.
They were making me nervous on some of those lower passes considering how much time/money/effort had to go into it.
It’s very impressive.
25 years ago we had Estes for rockets that of all places Hobby Lobby carried. Still have an unfinished Saturn V kit.
And a local hobby shop that carried the RC planes. Kinda in a strip mall. I forget what the store mom/sisters used to go to… But I got away with “I’ll be here when you’re done.”
Kinda like a actual mall with radio shack or GameStop. Lol. there is an RC airstrip right up the road…
I wonder how many kids are into that? Now that a drone will just basically fly/correct itself…
For those who don’t recognize the pilot or his compound, it’s Tyler Perry. His hangar is full of amazing planes and his staff all have what would be a dream job for any rc fan. I don’t know of another rc enthusiast with this kind of resources and interest to put into the hobby, though I’m sure there are a few.
Last time I saw a video this plane was under construction, I’m glad you posted a video of it completed @werehatrack!
Is this the North Korean passenger airline?
idk, feels IRK-worthy to me.

I love the brakes when he takes it in for the landing! Awesome!!
POKER! JOKER! NOT MEDIOCRE! AWESOME!
Good thing that’s not for sale here, I don’t need it crashing into my house when some idiot presses the wrong button on the remote.
