@PeterSripol never disappoints. In past years Peter set multiple records for the widest RC Airplane, the most motors on a single airframe, and so many more. Well this year at Flite Fest 2023 he went out to set the record for the longest airplane ever. He started with a 15 foot aircraft and then added onto it to make it more than 30 feet long! after having success he put it into combat were more than 100 airplanes took to the sky with one mission, TO TAKE PETER DOWN! Peter lasted longer than anyone expected, even with losing wings, and control surfaces. Peter ended up crashing in an epic way after being torn apart in the sky. Huge thanks to Peter and all the volunteers that helped him make this possible

Ever seen the movie Razorback from 1984? It has quite a few transitions using an edge of an object like that. It's often regarded as a well produced movie (especially cinematography), if a bit weak on plot however. Worth checking out.

Watching and listening to Peter, plus all the other guys is addictive. Everyone is having so much fun in building wild fun RC planes. I was always into RC warships, but never tried the planes. I wish your event was near Florida as I would love to come out and watch. I loved the camper that Peter built or rebuilt. Watch that video if you have not. PJ

@douglasthecorgi2568 Жыл бұрын

That plane reminded me of a train too! I’d love to see if you guys could build an articulated steam train with passenger cars and a maybe a caboose, with wings on each section, props attached to the locomotive, and the tail surfaces on the last car / caboose. Bonus points if smoke comes out of the smokestack. This could be a great Christmas project if you were to model it off of the Polar Express. ^^

I'm actually curious how does having so much people controlling their models doesnt cause that much of interference

@jamesfieweger8648 Жыл бұрын

2.4 GHz has so many channels that interference is very rare. 72 mhz was what came before 2.4 and it had a limited number of channels associated with it. That system had the chance to get interference from literally any radio signal. 2.4 is the same as WiFi as well so it’s very reliable.

That plane actually scales pretty well and could work full-scale. At altitude on long flights 1 or 2 pairs of wings could fold for efficiency. The short wingspan could help on crosswind landings. The elevator could easily be computer-controlled to maintain attitude whether the CG is good or a little unbalanced.

just wondering.. are there any rules/limitations on the rc planes that visitors can fly? as in, are only electric propellers allowed, or are combustion engines and jets fair game? and in the combat event, a plane using the ram strategy could have a steel tipped and reinforced nose for penetration and durability? very curious about any would-be ruleset
