Flying the Giant: HSD 747 EDF RC Jet in Action!

Join us at the EDF Jet Jam for an up-close look at the massive HSD 747 EDF RC Jet in action. This giant of the skies, owned and flown by a friend of mine, showcases incredible scale and power in flight. You don't get a sense of just how big these HSD 747s are until you witness it in person!

Reverse thrust was amazing, she flies like a fighter jet

[@BarryGrueter]

Very cool, thanks for sharing 👍

[@DrCho-en9cd]

Great video. I got it one, too~!!! It's the only one in Korea. The Reverse thrust was really impressive. Actually, PNP doesn't have reverse thrust. It must have installed by your friend.

[@Thercgeek]

That’s correct, they had replaced the esc’s with reversing ones because the wheel brakes just weren’t sufficient enough to stop it.

[@DrCho-en9cd]

@Thercgeek Right. Wheel brakes can stop efficiently this giant Queen of the sky. Thank you, my friend, for useful information.

Nice flight

Sporting Zeee Flight Packs Nice 👍

nice vid and flight ! 😎👍👍

[@suecobandito8954]

Now do the Canary Island Takeoff. Kidding. Nice model.

[@sambuvca22]

Nice. Just made my AL37 a tree ornament trying to fly in 15 knot winds

[@itzjoeylo4501]

DoH 😖

[@Thercgeek]

Oof!

[@sambuvca22]

@@Thercgeek lack of judgement for sure. A heavy gust just got me

[@Thercgeek]

They do get pretty tricky in heavy winds, especially crosswinds.

Woot!

KLM Airlines was involved in the biggest Airliner disaster in history. Two 747s KLM & Pan Am Airlines collided on the runway of Tenerife with 583 fatalities. I remember watching the documentary. What a sad day in 1977. With that said. That is a beautiful model. Great piloting. Thanks for posting the coolest RC plane videos on the Tube.

[@canadiantrainperson]

why did you need to bring that into a fun video?

[@MultiMaitre]

@@canadiantrainperson Why not? That is part of the history.

[@canadiantrainperson]

@@MultiMaitre I understand but what does the Tenrife disaster have to do with an RC 747 other than the fact its in KLM? If it was in a Delta livery (lets say) he wouldn't have said that.

[@lw216316]

Beautiful, but when I saw the title I thought you would be flying it Chris ??? Have you had a chance to fly any of the big ones ?

[@Thercgeek]

I’ve flown a few large models and was offered to fly this one. unfortunately I wasn’t able to stick around to get that flight.

[@lw216316]

@@Thercgeek I have flown some bigger than I usually fly and the only challenge I have with them is the perspective on landing. Since they are big they give me the illusion they are closer to the runway than they really are. I must be careful not to land short. So I like to stand close to the end of the runway as I bring the plane in on final approach. That way I have a better perspective on where the plane is in relation to the start of the runway.

[@BenErikNess]

Nice plane... Why don't we see a slow fly by? Anybody can do a fast low pass...

[@Thercgeek]

that’s at the discretion of the pilot which was not me for this flight. 😆

[@scotabot7826]

Nice easy flying bird. He needs to get the nose up and flare for landing next time. It will fly slower than he thinks.

[@victorrcjets7660]

I want one still😊

[@Thercgeek]

They are pretty cool

@@Thercgeek if I do I want to do a repaint job 🤔

[@PaulTheBirdie]

hello, i just wanted to ask... is the website jethangar still in service? recently sent an email but it didnt reach the destination

[@Thercgeek]

It is, but the best bet is to call. The email on the website doesn’t always go through. I’ve tried to get my folks to fix it, but haven’t thus far.

[@PaulTheBirdie]

@@Thercgeek yeah.. in quick question on the email i asked about the aviability of the 123% 90mm short kit.. if you ship to europe czech republic and if its like.. a balsa kit for user to build or already prebuilt model... thats about it 😂

[@USNVA11]

Holy smokes. That thing retails for $4,300.00 !

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

That's it

[@Thercgeek]

Yeah, they’re not cheap. 😬

Where can I buy one of these?

No. The fuse breaks down into 3 parts.
