3/4 Scale,75%pipercub worlds largest full wing rc flying model today.

[@idontneednostinkingchannel6848]

I just liked it. NO crash. Stall speed on this is ridiculous! thanks for posting. Happy trails!

[@farmerbobross]

Thanks for flyin' at my place. The whole RC club enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to more videos. See ya later. Bob Ross

[@thomasnixon7702]

Beautiful plane. Lousy video

[@heliflyer7]

Love how it flies and is flown, unlike most other "scale" models on here. Great work!

[@beroth1]

That was cool seeing it next to the real Cub in the end. Thanks for the video!

[@malcolmknight393]

absolutely correct Mozzman. the secrets of smooth, non bouncy landings. Good smooth landings are something I take pride in and practiced many times until i got it right. its not simply a bounce, bounce, bounce arrival. haha. it also helped that I too was brought up around aircraft. My father was and still is a flying instructor with some 12000 hours instructing time.

[@RobertJPark]

You spent a small fortune and years of your life to build a super giant scale airplane. Then you used a 480p shaky handheld camera to document its glory.

[@MrCrash698]

guess he ran out of money..lol

[@southjerseysound7340]

Sad to say the guy passed away so please keep this in mind when it comes to future comments ;-) But seriously cameras have come a long ways since then and besides that they are older people who could care less about having the latest gadget etc. Think about it for a min,what camera did the average 70 year old grandma/pa have 6-7 years ago ;-)

[@robertbowen9417]

very, very impressive. I'm just getting into flying arc's and I'm amazed at what the community has accomplished since my brother had a tethered plane back in the early sixties.

[@stinkingdog101]

I have seen 75% mustangs flown with pilots. I was just wondering ?

[@Whitpusmc]

Was this displayed at Toledo Show back in 20??

[@bigtextrucker1825]

It would be pretty awesome to have a camera mounted in the cockpit (Go-pro), fly it around and upload the video on here.👍Real nice Cub yall built...

[@microdon2]

Nice plane. But you missed (or didn't show) the maiden takeoff?? And you cut short the landing???

[@vanpenguin22]

All you have to do is find someone who can fly who's 75% as tall as your average joe and you won't need your radio.

[@pencils1951]

A lot of plane, a lot of noise, but not a lot of poke. You've just enough to get it airborne, you need at least 50% more engine. It's almost slow motion. Nevertheless, a very good effort with still lots of potential.

[@nipperdog7777]

Did this get filmed through a dirty window?

[@cropgun58]

Check out Bill Hempel's 60% cub demo. That plane is much bigger. I would say that's more like 50%

[@claudiacaldeira5923]

que hélice você usa ?

[@RyanPT20]

Such a wonderful model , but that ugly noise , why don`t you use a silencer ?

[@dvega69]

That was a funny one Tom Bordelon lol

[@5xls]

I agree completely. I'm an ATP with B-737, B-757/767, CE-500 type ratings, CFII, MEI, A&P, and I'm sure you're a pilot too. When I'm at the RC flying field and comment about a "real" airplane flying over, the RC guys are offended. "It's not real, it's full scale". Bullshit! Unless you're in it and flying it, you're not a "Pilot". These are toys (and, admittedly, I own a few too).

[@ArnoldsDesign]

Nice plane. I owned an LMA 75% cub at one time. Dimensions are about the same, along with hp, and gross. Rotax 277 had 2.58:1 reduction, though, with a 60" prop. It wasn't rc. It was an ultralight. You might be able to fly this with a pilot on board.

[@gman4reel]

WOW!!! That thing is a rocket!!!!!

[@chzecrepublican2008]

why was it so under powered?

[@nitrorcfreak100]

how much did it cost and how much do you want for it

[@71259mark]

When do you anticipate posting the crash video?

[@kailuaboy89]

nice cub!!

[@johnnystieferman6527]

He,s using a 72 mgrh. Radio so i assume it,s a lot older then 7 yrs ago.

[@MiterSet2]

"just like the wright Brothers we have no data to use at all" OK, just over a hundred years of powered flight to draw from. It's easy to kid though, nice model!

[@alexabadi7458]

That beauty deserve a better video quality (HD ?)

[@endwood]

what happened to the T/off? somebody missed it !:-(

[@OzcarMike641]

Nice toy !!!!

[@endwood]

They missed the first T/off!!!!!! incredible!!

[@johnjones4825]

Wow. 3/4 scale and 75%?

[@petejulie1000]

The builder of this J3 was a dear friend. He passed away unfortunately and will be missed be the Valdosta Georgia modeling fraternity.

[@leafyP]

I just sold a 3/4 scale Citabria ultralight. It was a lot bigger than this Cub. The wingspan on it was about 27 feet. Hard to believe this Cub has a 25 foot wingspan. Pretty cool anyway!

[@Stevesmith-yw7cr]

Why not make a 200% scale RC model?

[@a0000000000001]

Yes that's a great idea, but you can't make it 100% then it wouldnt be a model.

[@Stevesmith-yw7cr]

BaumTronics Elektroonika Yes but for example.....a model....like Cindy Crawford or Cheryl Teigs.....I would want a full size model.....not a smaller version. And if we make it a 200% scale model, would it be still a model or something else? I guess I took too many silly pills this morning. Sorry.

[@nosehair515]

+Steve smith What about a scale model of a model? Looks identical to Cindy Crawford, but theres a middle aged man in a menards hat operating her from the ground.

[@RedfishInc]

Upscale? Interesting idea...

[@JimForeman]

One beautiful airplane but why didn't you just build a full size one. I built a 3/4 scale WW-I Fokker Eindecker, flew it for a hundred or so hours then sold it to an airshow.

[@jimbo4261]

Jeez,,I build and flew a homebuilt Expermental SuperCat in 3 months and I was the servo,,real flying for a change from RCing,,, and I bet my cost was almost the same

[@ib422000]

Thank you.

[@dickjohnson4268]

Neat model. For another $1500, you could have had a bird that you can fly in.

[@69adrummer]

You could fly your kids to school in that thing! If they were in kindergarten and you had a camera so you could see where they were going! xD

[@vanpenguin22]

Go Pro on-board footage!

[@MrJburg00]

At the end all 3 together is kick ass

[@farmerbobross]

To all you nay sayers out there. This model is a true 3/4 scale J-3 cub flown at my airstrip by my friends. The full size J-3 is mine and it's a real deal Piper cub that I've owned and flown for over 20 years.

[@wrjames38]

Why?

[@Pipercub75]

@farmerbobross Get ready for 2011 .

[@minitwitter]

It means if you make 4/4 model then you can get on and fly. It's just the matter of regurations. 3/4 might be possible.

[@rctestyful]

nice

[@youronlycow]

you should build a full size one and sit in it! lol! I think this model cost more than the full scale version...

[@chrishickmott]

Looks amazing! However, with the overall cost involved here, I would own my own real airplane. #damnexpensive

[@ChristophereKoutselas]

i wish I had a chance to build one

[@ColeAviation]

That's nice BUT i think I would be fling it on a 2.4 radio. Flys scale tho.

[@Pipercub75]

One wing is 148' ea and yes this plane is 3/4 piper cub not 2/3 I only use this for you-tube thanks for looking.

[@grasuh]

Get a full-scale Cub, remove the seat and put servos and electronics. There you have a 100% scale RC airplane.

[@VoroxioN]

5:58 Momy, Dady, and Little George :)

[@Pipercub75]

Yes I could.but I can't thank you for looking.

[@MrDish64]

SWEET

[@joewoodchuck3824]

I can't even remember how many KZbin videos have claimed to be the biggest.

[@nickademuss42]

you just need to add 25% more then you can fly it....not the radio...

[@ReptileRescue]

This is also NOT the largest flying RC model today. Not even close.

[@southjerseysound7340]

They clarified in the video that it was the largest Cub replica not the largest RC plane.

[@VMceachern]

The one in Japan is never intended to fly. Just for static I believe.

[@ddenny28]

2/3 scale is not a 75% plane....just FYI.

[@gailraby1722]

I imagine that's a nice model, you did well to film it without showing anything of interest, great video of a dot in the sky.. seems a lot of effort in building the thing and no effort what so ever in showing it.

[@onfin3al6]

If you make a plane so big enough to ride in it,then ride in it. I think it would be much easier to work the radio from inside than out side. I have over 2,000hrs in real one's,much easier than radio.

[@ReptileRescue]

That IS NOT a 3/4 scale. It looks to be half scale or just slightly above 50%. I owned a 3/4 scale Cub. It was called a Fisher FP 202 Koala, and it was a homebuilt experimental aircraft, single seater, and piloted by an actual human. A full scale J3 with full wingspan (not clipped versions) has a wingspan of about 35ft. This would make a 3/4 scale 26ft. wingspan. This model is nowhere near that. Additionally, the larger variant in the background of the departing shot is not a full scale J3 Cub either. That's an N-3 Pup or something to that effect, which WOULD be about 3/4 scale, as it is single seater and obviously shorter than a true Cub. This makes the model appear larger scale than it really is when placed next to a homebuilt aircraft which is the one that is actually 3/4 scale.

[@srnunan4783]

yeah i owned a supapup and it was also 3/4 scale of cub and this model doesnt look as big as my ac was

[@harpomarx7777]

You DIDN'T just use a cell phone camera to film this! All that effort and now you have really crappy, jiggly video for us? FAIL

[@BladeScraper]

2010

[@southjerseysound7340]

Seriously it was filmed by older people almost 7 years ago and I know it's hard to believe but not everyone cares about the latest greatest tech. The other thing is we forget how fast things have progressed.....Seriously if you could find one of the early GoPro's being sold from his van it was either using 35mm film for still pics or the first Digital Hero would take a 10 second craptacular video clip.......So this considering the length and lighting this was not that bad for the era.It was middle of the road tech.........The highest capacity SD card you could get was 32 gb and they were $300 until they came out with the 64gig cards at around 400$ if you could even find one.........People quickly forget how much memory used to cost,I mean a year or so before this was shot it was around $160 per gig.It was groundbreaking news when it dropped to about $60 per gig back then.

[@GaryFlymore]

why not post the take off, and why fly it so far away that you cant tell what it is? what a big disapointment!!!!! ;-D

[@mladin]

Hey kids, who's ready for a ride

[@mozzmann]

One of the things that I find the most off putting in video's like this is the pathetic throttle and thus attitude and speed control. C'mon fellas settle the aircraft into the landing attitude and then control the descent with throttle as you would if it were full sized. Something I have done always (possibly because I hold a PPL, and the way I teach people to fly RC, and only Mode 2 !!

[@roberthoard639]

Ya he sucks.

[@TheRocklife13]

i can get inside the piper and fly it :D if i ever had one:) because im a small person and not heavy at all

[@api9mm]

Hell, I'd lose a quarter of my weight and get in it.

[@granskare]

this is a puzzle for me...why not build a plane you can fly in, check with EAA for help.

[@camdraper4644]

Build a Plane at this point

[@jerrysmith7166]

why not just buy an n3 pup and fly the damn thing yourself! no pl needed it's an ultralight lol...unless you have a plane already

[@dennism103]

it seems under powered.

[@MrCrash698]

looks like the prop is too small

[@richarddarlington1139]

Actually, with it's 65hp engine, that's the way a full-scale Cub flies.

[@johncgibson4720]

The 25 HP should be enough to fly an adult human.

[@tailwheelflier]

More people f up good airplanes by excessive taxiing than flying

[@ellenrouth1947]

2.4ghz

[@TheGaliath360]

why would you not just build a full scale and then fly it yourself

[@Gunny426HemiPlymouth]

If its stick built... and you want to have real scale plus its got to be able to fly cus a plane like this is damn heavy! It aint no ARF!

[@kochj0713]

Bill Hempels 60% ARF looks bigger ,and flys WAY better...

[@ecookman]

maybe he can't hold the medical certificae

[@VMceachern]

I love cubs but dude get some new struts that thing looks as though it's had one too many hard landings with the annhedral it has.

[@Stevesmith-yw7cr]

What? No mini me 75% plastic pilot?

[@PatrickGreeneFearwriter]

Luke 12:15 And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

[@Techiastronamo]

Mystic Fist How the hell does this relate to a small plastic pilot that should be fitted inside of an RC plane?

[@PatrickGreeneFearwriter]

Because the poster is a judgmental hypocrite.

[@Stevesmith-yw7cr]

Have a nice life fisting mystic!

[@Techiastronamo]

Mystic Fist What is so judgemental and hypocritical about his simple post about there not being a miniature plastic pilot that should be placed inside the plane to act as a fake pilot inside the plane? I think you need to learn what a judgmental hypocrite is, because I see no judgement nor hypocrisy within his statements.

[@danz409]

the object of this game is to spam F5 untill the video plays... looks like i fail... gg youtube...

[@AirplaneSlave]

They used Piper data

[@jeffreyhagelin6047]

Why ? For the time and money spent it could be a man carrying aircraft instead of a big model !

[@shethinksimironman]

now does it take this long to build a real plane? Probably not lmao

[@shethinksimironman]

+V10 FSI jk lol

[@ellenrouth1947]

Needed

[@Ubernator]

Mis-leading tiltle, the military has bigger and better "RC" airplanes :P

[@charlesfoster141]

The anhedral in the wings looks awful.

[@charlesfoster141]

I have owned 5 J3 Cubs and can tell you two things. First your model is not scale. All the proportions, especially your landing gear, are all wrong. Secondly, a full scale cub has a 36 foot wingspan +/- a bit. 3/4 scale would need a 27 foot wingspan. Enjoy your model but careful on the claims.

[@DL6UK]

you spent a small fortune and use such a crappy silencer !!!

[@shawnmccrary5526]

Nice model but incredibly under powered.

[@TheBigO-k6g]

NOT THE LARGEST RC PLANE GUY. PLUS GET A BETTER CAMERA. THERE ARE FAR LARGER RC CRAFT FLYING

[@MrEyetoeye]

2:18 Thank me later. ;)

[@thatairplaneguy]

That's big but you guys need more power and you suck at flying it ,lol.

[@dennism103]

Extremely boring
