Giant Scale Cessna 182 RC plane w/ 6 cylinder gas engine!!

This amazing RC plane is modeled after a Cessna 182 Skylane.
It has a 13 foot ( 4 meter ) wingspan and has a one of a kind 6 cylinder 215cc opposed (boxer) four stroke gas engine, much like the Lycoming engine in the full scale Cessna.
The plane is 35% scale and is made by TMMY scale composite. You can find them here: tmmy.pantown.com
There is also a great thread on RC Universe for this plane with tons of info and pictures. Here: www.rcuniverse....
The engine was made by the Great Wolfgang Sauter of SAWO Motors.
Only one of these engines was ever produced before Mr. Sauter unfortunately passed away.
You can see the engine video here. • 6 Cylinder 215cc Four ...
Not many RC planes capture the look and sound of a real plane the way this model does.
Well Done Johnny!

[@MultiGlennz]

So often you see a video of a super scale model with a pilot that has no clue how to fly. This gentleman is a fine scale pilot. Hats off to you sir.

[@trifidsagitarius]

The most realistic rc plane I've ever seen. Most of the rc models behave like 'cartoons' with jerky movements but this one looks like the real thing. Good video!

[@FlyersDistrict]

sir you don't have to enter the contest...we'll just give you the award....this is freaking aweosme!

[@MrWillieZ]

very cool landing and the engine sound us very realistic nice job

[@n5037r]

Excellent scale model and flying.

[@djSmokeShow]

One of the best scale like RC flights I've every seen, very cool.

[@kh40yr]

Pops had a Cessna of one kind or another for 50 years. First one was a Original Cessna 120 taildragger, Hand Start Only, No Flaps. Lots of 172's and 182 Skylanes, A couple of 206's, A single 210, with fixed gear, for more cargo and 6 person belts. Bellanca Citabria was the only step-away from those, and Man, Was It Fun!. Citabria is Airbatic, to the meaning of Aerobatic, spelled backwards. Loops, rolls, snap rolls, stalls, hammerheads, towing gliders up, taking the door off on a hot summer day and flying around Was so fun.

[@hugejohnson5011]

To hear these scale models nowadays with actual 6cyl engines is so cool! And the real jet engines out there? Wowza! Let alone the WWII stuff with those radials!

[@kh40yr]

@@hugejohnson5011 Yes. It sure is. The flat Lycoming style model 6's sound like they should now. The Moki model radials made everyone wake up again to building and flying beautiful WW 2 stuff. Everyone was tired of the weedwacker motors and/or lazy 4 cycles that looked the part, but didn't sound the part. I remember when the first model gas turbines took to the pages of the Hobby mags. I was astounded!,,still am. They are finally getting a bit cheaper, then when first released.

[@gjd9527]

Sounds Brilliant, The Sound is To Scale on the ground and flying with throttle back."I Want One"

[@deldridg]

Very inspirational unfortunately. Another reason to retire early, sell the kids, build a bigger shed and lose myself in the scale world! Thank you for the video - this level of realism and *that* engine are truly something to behold! Cheers from Australia - Dave :-)

[@billautotech]

The full scale 182 is a spirited performer and this beautiful replica honors the 182. Pilot aint bad either.

[@mtlnascarfan]

Gorgeous plane and impeccable flying skills.

[@skydive1424]

Fantastic sounding engine! And beautifully flown as well!

[@curtar9354]

That plane should live a long and happy life.

[@steinrich56]

god.....that was a very nice landing..!!!

[@ces308]

I love a pilot that can fly a scale airplane to scale !!!! Well done !!!! Beautiful plane and piloting !!

[@robajohnson]

Oh... and a perfect landing to boot! Nice thumbs!

[@robajohnson]

That engine really should be produced! Soooo much smoother than so many gassers in that size range and oh man that snarl of an exhaust note just makes my testosterone gland jump! Lovely sound!

[@2OQP]

What is interesting to see here, is the Reynolds constant. The weight and size of the plane makes it look much more realistic in the way it handle itself. The aerodynamics are getting closer to the real plane has the size grow. Not to mention a seasoned pilot also.

[@DENISLEBOULLENGER]

bravo au constructeur et au pilote pour sa démonstration très réaliste ! trop rare...

[@jimslaughter1035]

Great sound from that engine!!

[@Velo1010]

That’s a realistic takeoff, climb, flight, approach, and landing. I’ve seen model rc pilots that don’t do this. Great job 👍🏻

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

It's always a joy to watch it again ... and again ... and again !!!

[@iannzht]

Nice takeoff and landing

[@andymkatz]

Wow, I felt I was actually looking at a full scale 182, even the sound, the way you approach it with power all the way to the landing. Amazing!!

[@JoeAmmo461]

That plane is AWESOME!!! I've been around Cessnas all my life and have flown in and flown them and I was hard pressed to tell it wasn't the full scale version.

[@glassdogangle]

Wow. It is so nice to see a video of a scale airplane, beautifully built, in the hands of a competent pilot who can actually land an airplane skillfully, instead of bouncing it down the runway like so many others I see!

[@LonewolfCBX]

A Cessna with a sound of Lamborghini ;-)... Impressive model ! I was pilot of C150, C152 and C172, so I appreciate a lot to watch it. Low pass at very low speed (full flaps) and "touch and go" are things to always show at a public meeting, to let people discover how majestuous can be that kind of planes.

[@spidernad1]

Lonewolf 👍🏻

[@neme4sat]

What a beautiful and realistic aircraft. Really nice flying. Not much to not love about this video. Just spent a few moments forgetting about all my worries and enjoying this flight. Thank you

[@spidernad1]

Millions of people fly radio control airplanes. It's a hobby. And if they could afford to own a real plane I imagine many would.

[@sunsetarts]

I noticed it tried to float a bit on that last landing, just like the real thing. (High wing Cessna's are notorious floaters.) Great job.

[@ckelley63]

Even sounds real. OUTSTANDING!!!

[@douglasslayback3441]

Positive rate, gear up…just beautiful! Smooth and realistic stick work, couldn’t tell it from the real thing during the passes and approaches to landings. Excellent aircraft…got a few of my ratings in a 1959 straight tail version my family owned during my teens. Beautiful a/c model, well done!

[@douglasslayback3441]

And the engine sound and smoothness was incredible:)

[@LaurentLombardMusic]

Very good scale style flight with just the necessary action to the sticks, no over control. Congratulations.

[@2512rcplus]

Absolutely incredible engineering, build, fit, finish, preparation, tuning and PILOTING - what a great effort !! Indeed, a top - of - the - hobby grade airplane in the hands of a veteran pilot !! WELL DONE !!!

[@Ab1234ify]

Wow also the fisics and the engine sound makes this very realistic

[@Video-tipsTv]

What a beautiful aircraft and flight! well done!

[@thomaslewis7883]

that is a beauty, growing up,I was always drawn to the Cessna style

[@thecorbies]

Fabulous. One of the most realistically flown large scale aircraft I've ever seen. Beautiful sound too. Well down Mr Sauter and the pilot. Regards Mark in the UK

[@ur981]

That touch down gave me goose pimples. Nice flying, the landing was the best part.

[@kingelingie]

Perfection and that sound. Just beautiful

[@benreeves822]

Beautiful scale takeoff...the best I've seen so far in RC.

[@digigarb]

Yeah thought the same thing. Power is just right. Too many scale models take off at too high an acceleration.

[@l3leu398]

Now that was a really nice landing, nicely pitched up .o/ !

[@stamfordjohnson7367]

Beautiful plane, scale flying and perfect landings.

[@joaquinperez959]

What a cool model cessna great model with great sound!!!

[@spidernad1]

The fella starting the plane is the owner/builder. The guy holding the plane back in the beginning was the pilot on this particular flight. I think we can all agree he flew the plane excellently and very scale. And yes they are from Sweden. : )

[@JR-wg9tp]

Very good filling of scale dynamic and velocity!

[@deepbeeps]

There are 48 thumbs down....those are truly 48 sick people!

[@ColeAviation]

I thought the same thing. Some people are just picky about how people hold the camera and or how clear the video may be or what ever. There's some crazy folks in this world. Lol.

[@RedfishInc]

Probably just envy...

[@flightlover4me]

Nice landing, it looks like a real plane.

[@ckelley63]

It actually evens sounds authentic!!! That's crazy!!!

[@cahooy53]

Alright. That makes sense. Thanks for responding politely!

[@yoderjjy]

Really really cool. I love how it has the red beacon and flaps. Looks soooo much like a full size one. I bet you could get a small dog in there to act as PIC. That'd be cute.

[@jeffrobarge6378]

That is a beauty. Nice job with the demo flight. Those landings were perfect.

[@Red5]

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful scale plane and equally amazing scale flying skills. Loved the full and partial flaps techniques. Who would give this a thumbs down? Apparently there are 17 people even more jealous of this awesome plane than I am. Thanks for posting this video!!

[@roykliffen9674]

45 dislikes? why? It is an incredible well-build aircraft with a fantastic engine. Very smoothly flown with a textbook touch-and-go and landing. My compliments.

[@916chevyboy]

Wow that sounds and looks awesome!🎉

[@iflyhelis]

Best model I have seen! I loved the sound of it! Thanks for sharing this video to us RC pilots!

[@baytacoglu]

This plane is a masterpiece among the ones I have watched. Congragulations.

[@ernied349]

Just love Cessna planes this was a beautiful well built and flown plane. I just know a twin engine one is in the works.

[@untildeeper]

Je regarde beaucoup de vidéo d'avion rc, et c'est le plus beau vidéo que j'ai vu a date. On dirait un avion pleine grandeur.

[@nitestrike1000]

The uniqueness of this model compelled me to leave a comment. This is one amazing aircraft! Six cylinders! Great pilot! Would be nice to put a camera in it :)

[@spidernad1]

Don't give up, you will be as good as him in time. Get a simulator if you don't already have one. I used RealFlight sim to improve significantly.

[@ManuCath]

Nice sound, nice aircraft, realistic flight.... Perfect...

[@howardrickert2558]

Doesn't look like an RC at all. Best looking, and flying AC I have seen. Very nice. Thank you.

[@wjkssmd]

Really nice plane... watched the 6 opposed video too... this is one special plane... I sure hope it is still around... good to see you are up to no good. I love your 50% planes... I am still helping the vets fly... very satisfying.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

It is always nice to see this video with the gorgeous sounding SAWO engine. Best regards, RCSA

[@alansimpson596]

Great model. Now I know what I want for Christmas only I can't wait that long. Brilliant flying also.

[@jetcat120]

A very nice scale model of this iconic training aircraft. I was going to ask about the engine but description says it all. very well done.

[@masonjordan968]

Amazing at a few points it didnt look like a model it looked like a real full size plane :)

[@Heimo784]

this pilot flies really smooth and with the certain feeling very few pilots have :-)

[@pellenyberg]

What a sound!! Nice flying, very realistic.

[@torchr]

The owner lives in Sweden, but is Norwegian, as is the pilot on this flight that took place at Notodden in Norway during the yearly scale meeting there.

[@arcadeportal32]

That plane has a sweet exhaust man!

[@leoncechrist]

Nice plane ,I love Cessna .Thanks for posting.

[@shawndubay3736]

Awesome Cessna, beautiful flight and great landing. love it. The engine sounds amazing and like the full sized bird. That six cylinder growl sounds like my 2002 mercury cougars V.6 with its doule DC racing exhaust. love it. thank you for great video.

[@MidNight8181]

@spidernad1 Thanx, wish there would be more activity here, we can see a rc airshow here every september

[@FISHH00KS]

Thank you for posting this video. Seeing this brought a little joy to my life.

[@jetcat120]

Very nice scale model indeed and the engine sounds so sweet, very nice scale flying too.

[@Dzordzikk]

This is the most smooth flying I ever seen. Nice flying skill man!

[@KarlAlfredRoemer]

Awesome pilot with a very nice plane. I like it very much!

[@brettbarnard2563]

Even sounds like the real deal! Nicely done

[@winterka100]

Thanks for the info. What a a beautiful engine.

[@floopy312]

Most beautiful RC aiplane ever :)

[@lovelyapple7167]

excellent take off and landing smooth

[@Doyle-Nutbush]

Excellent RC flying skills. Fantastic plane.

[@HarryP457]

Beautiful aircraft, amazing motor and great scale flying, thank you. I love scale flying, small overpowered planes screaming around the sky like dragonflies on speed do nothing for me but this type of flying is awesome. As a kid I used to go watch an old guy fly his large scale Spitfire 5b at the model aero club... exactly the same "slow" very controlled manoeuvres mimicking the full sized aircraft, love it. Thanks for posting.

[@INCABRC]

Dan, I loved everything about your 182. Your piloting skills. That 6 banger is da bomb though. Makes the entire package spring to life. Sitting on the ramp before you took off it sounded like a Tucker Torpedo!! They used a Heli Lycon flat 6 in those. There are 52 really beef headed people to give this a thumbs down. GREAT JOB!

[@spidernad1]

+Dave Upton This isn't my plane but thanks for the comments Dave.

[@fullpower1164423]

nice flight.it looks like the real cessna when landing

[@rdmanone]

Super nice plane. Great job flying it scale.

[@spidernad1]

I have to agree. That guy is quite a pilot.

[@clarkpitti3196]

Damn love the realistic physics in this scale plane! I hate when I see RC planes shootup like a rocket on takeoff, not very realistic, Yours is the most realistic Rc plane out there!

[@engel6925]

Very nice plane and sound

[@GARYINLEEDS]

Great camera work thank you for sharing.

[@gillesbueno1153]

Sound of the engine is almost like a real version.

[@themainproblem]

That was an excellent demonstration! And you are a superb aviator.

[@hrbeta]

Fabulous scale flying...

[@ib422000]

That dang landing makes me want to give up RC and take up knitting or something!! Great video, skill and dedication!!

[@dcontygr1]

This thing is Amazing!! I can not wait to start flying!!

[@tomvana4270]

Good looking plane and great landings.

[@DFX2KX]

That's a gorgeous model, right there... That motor has more displacement then my motorbike O_O probably runs better, too.

[@ebuff57]

Separates the men from the boys of R/C airplanes!
