It was very interesting to see, beforehand, the assembly of the massive SB4. It was strange to see no horizontal stabilizer or elevator; just an immense primary wing! The pilot did a superb job of flying the Short Sherpa. And once again, the demonstration was filmed professionally! Thank you!

[@AllanPerkins-e4k]

What a beautiful example of a rarely modelled aircraft! Beautifully engineered and flown, well done!

[@M-HK-]

I wish I had this pilot's crosswind landing skills. Awesome flight of an unusual model.

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

That was one hell of a crosswind on final approach.

[@shelleibach20]

I would have thought it would need a much stranger wing tube arrangement for such heavy wings??? Super aircraft and flight.....

[@reieck]

Super einzigartiges Modell mit den besten Turbinen und sehr gut vor geflogen...

[@mohawkdriver4155]

Never saw anything like this before. Beautiful!

[@henvan8737]

The propeller looks too small to allow it to take off?

[@JDsRCModelWorld-up7ws]

Wow! I enjoyed watching the whole thing!

[@myownyoutubification]

Fantastic filming too!

[@DIGITALRC]

Many thanks, I appreciate this very much 👍

[@jackmehoffer7819]

Sweet!

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

they need to create little locking couplers so you can fill up like the big boys. run mini fuel trucks use wing tanks to side fuselage connectors.

[@Xplanker]

You know your model is large when you can see the control surface deflection from where you stand

[@leafforever9174]

I'm speechless.😲👌

[@VacuousCat]

Cool! The wikipage doesn't explain enough about the "aero-isoclinic wing" it has, is there some better source that describes the details?

[@FlukFluk-zj1kl]

สุดยอดดด❤

[@justsayin644]

its hard to understand how such a small propellor can power something that size!

[@justsayin644]

i watched right to the end but couldnt find the crash does anyone have the time stamp for the crash?

[@andypc14]

Fabulous - great model, building and videography👍

[@DIGITALRC]

Thanks a lot 😎👍

[@Thechrismasta]

What function has the mini motor in the nose?

[@DIGITALRC]

In the original full size model it drives a generator

[@extrem55-uo6su]

da laufen vielleicht Grosskozue rum unfassbar...

[@NgWeiHaoKalenPeihwasec-np9tc]

I wonder why there is no self-retracting gear

[@PhilipSiddall]

The original did not have retracts.

[@SolarWebsite]

The original was an experimental airplane, mainly to test the characteristics of a special type of wing (look up the Wikipedia article, it's interesting!). A retractable landing gear was probably not deemed necessary to be able to test the wing.

[@VipiModel-nk3ce]

Without main wing spar i think someday you will crash the plane

[@EnterpriseXI]

It does have wing spares just not what we’re used to. The mounting points are the spares

[@extrem55-uo6su]

wenn man mal gemau hinsieht erkennt man wie absolut übelst die Dinger zusammengepfuscht sind..unterirdisch..und bekommt auch noch eine Zulassung ? sind die Prüfer besoffen...?

[@RCFlyingDoc]

Sie sind offensichtlich ein Bauprofi, was haben sie denn so zu bieten an Eigenbauten?

[@reieck]

@@RCFlyingDoc Ja das gleiche frage ich mich auch. Solche unqualifizierten Aussagen kommen meist nur von Leuten die sich nur China Hochglanz Fertigmodelle kaufen können...
