LARGEST RC PLANE DUBAI (55% YAK)

Today on the 23rd August 2011 6am, Dubai skies were witness to the largest RC airplane in the middle east. Today was the test flight of this 55% YAK. This ARF comes from PILOT RC, and was built by UAE's most seasoned aeromodeller Mr. Buti Swaidan.
Mr. Buti Swaidan test flew this first of its kind and size bird in the region. The airplane has a ZDZ 400CC engine, it had full redundancy systems, MKS servos, and Mr. Buti masterfully did many modifications to the airplane, and its engine.
The entire RC community of UAE is extremely proud of this endeavor. This is our little tribute to the RC communities around the world. With limited sources and self taught skill we have come this far. It was a truly proud moment for all of us in the UAE.
For all of you who would like to know more about this airplane, or have any other queries regarding big airplanes. Please feel free to contact Mr. Buti through www.desertwings.co
We would also take this opportunity to all of you RC enthusiasts to come to Dubai, enjoy a great holiday and fly with us. Just know that unlike most parts of the world, we build in summers, and fly through out the winter. We welcome new hobbyists, and encourage more and more people to join us in this extremely exhilarating sport. Soon the Dubai field will be witness to large scale war birds as well, and we will definitely post that video here as well.

The music is intrusive and superfluous for this type of video ... it adds NOTHING. Wonderful model, shame we couldn't hear the engine properly.

[@daolinhai]

Sorry but the music forces me to move on. I can not hear that. Motor sound is more than enough!

[@BillyGates1721]

in double sense great plane. IMHO such a video does not need any extra sound in the background the picture and the sound of the engine does it all

[@MeneTekelUpharsin]

This could be a 2 minute video if it wasn't for all the replays and wasted time.

[@snapperslap3490]

Ya know kids could fly in in this it’s a kid size plane like you can get a license right?

[@RC-Flight]

Waist of my time, this guy is a click bait bastard! That is by no means the largest RC airplane, not even close!!

[@GagaFanMonster]

This isn't the largest RC plane in the middle east. DRONES are the largest in the middle east.

[@HaroldTechGame]

Lol

[@GagaFanMonster]

***** holla!!!

[@MooseheadDrinker]

+GAGAFANMONSTER obama and putin are completing for the largest drone in the middle east now

[@harpoon_bakery162]

yes, and those DRONES are actually doing something.

[@jojji22]

Wow, not a single comment praising this guy, amazing!

[@ojyordi]

Nice effort. Good you are spreading Modelling through de UAE. I have a brother he lives and flies in Oman. I´m Lebanese, born and living in Venezuela and Modellers for life. Congratulations

[@spacesaver100]

That thing is nuts!! With nothing to give away its actual size it just looks like someone having a liesurely spin out in his Yak. Well done Sir!!

[@graydeath85]

Love your choice of music. Thank you for sharing.

[@SuperBlindpilot]

Very nice! looking forward to more vids...

[@rangerjones5531]

400 cc engine! this is more of a remotely piloted vehicle aka drone, than what we usually thing of in rc. even in giant scale rc. great job and thanks for the post.

[@cloggedpitot1]

Very nice Yak, and nice video. Thanks for the invite to visit your country and good luck with your endeavors. A P-51D would be a nice fighter to see in your upcoming videos!

[@ja07657]

I love the crisp, clean air there!

[@joshtiel2980]

You sir did a fantastic job! Thanks for posting!

[@tonyktx44]

[@Thuribles]

Biggest Yak I've ever seen. Liked and subscribed.

[@AXHEJAZ]

Awesome! more videos please

[@SNDNGRKLR]

"limited sources" ROFL Yeah whatever more like unlimited !!! We have all seen the cars of Dubai. But none the less We all thank you for your skills, money and time invested into our hobby. I loved how Mr Buti cranked it into that first turn instead of babying it. Great build and flight can't wait to see more of it. Thanks

[@curbshoppin]

nice flying ....sweet landing....nice camera angle on that landing......now please put a camera in the cockpit so we can ride along............well done.........thats a nice bird

[@ad2181]

[@calibermoon]

Very graceful, even as a sport design. Bigger IS better. Cheers

[@drummerdavemax]

That plane looked like it was built perfect! I was suprised how fast the control surfaces moved!!! Those are some fast servos!!!

[@Pittsoman]

Cool ..... Good job, thank !

[@MasboyRC]

Wow.. it's so big, you can ride it if you want 😂

[@harpoon_bakery162]

music very confounding. it was like a traffic jam, then i see all the power-lines, buildings, and confusion and it all makes sense.

[@NeverSquid]

Cool. Proof that this hobby is universal. Awesome plane

[@flackinIdioticFlamer]

mumtaz! I really like the music choice for the video as well :D

[@Ethercruiser1]

Nice plane, nice flying & nice landing. Distracting music. Thumbs up! Also enjoyed looking at what must be the skyline in Dubai in the background.

[@BikeMeAustin]

Wow, what a plane!! Beautiful.

[@MrOliverock]

Nice work. Music made me YAK though.

[@JeffSmith03]

Good work, nice editing with good still photos too

[@conorfernando8848]

This is so cool!

[@theduvaloutlaw]

good job. nice plane. that looks like a great place to fly. congrats, Dubai.

[@theimacman]

Just because a lot of people say it wrong doesn't mean that's the way we say it. People just don't think about the words they are saying. The saying is "couldn't care less" whether you are American, or not.

[@walnaqbi]

Honestly something amazing wishes for you a good luck my brother Buti Swaidan.

[@Hugabunnybear]

Awesome plane, nice camera as well.

[@friedchicken1]

[@ThePhantomity]

It must be dope to be able to see the worlds tallest building on the horizon everyday..

[@jjmcarlson]

beautiful landing - fantastic.

[@frankbutta9344]

That’s a LOT of smog! Nice Plane!

[@57kikyo]

Nice flyin .. !

[@winterstellar]

You could put a kid in that! I know I would have wanted to sit there for a flight when I was a little kid! : )

[@neilpereira7356]

kewl RC model.... i loved the landing.. so smooth...

[@Rockit181]

that is really awesome.

[@SICMRR]

Sweet plane and flight..seems a bit tail heavy...but a beautiful plane..congrats

[@tarmachado]

Beatiful !!!

[@2007TypeR]

"With limited sources and self taught skill we have come this far. It was a truly proud moment for all of us in the UAE." WTF? This plane was not built with LIMITED RESOURCES. And as for self taught? Aren't we all? Nobody TEACHES you how to RC, this is a personal hobby for everyone. The plane was made in china, the engine is from Czech Republic and no doubt the electronics are from Japan. It was assembled by an individual in UAE. What has this got to do with the pride of UAE?

[@AirCavRulz]

wow great plane man

[@Thanospappy]

Nice flight!!! It is very impressive how a YAK can be changed in to a Calmato!!!

[@t3hplumb3r]

very nice man

[@ptw783]

alright.... Jimmy its your job to reach in there and turn the choke off. lmao awesome video

[@mrvoyagerm]

Fabulous, amazing! My RC club has a couple of guys who fly giant "Beasts" from Hangar 9 and they are very impressive in the air - almost a slow motion ballet somewhat similar to this plane. Yours must be very light weight with good power. Looks quite real. Great accomplishment! Regards

[@ssalerto]

Liking the music, thanks.

[@kanibal2118]

It is so fantastic plane. :) good.

[@leobluesy]

Nice!

[@BBsFishingAdventures]

that plane is beast! LIKE IT

[@arnoldaszlt]

badass rc toy :D

[@randyneighbour]

very nice and what a great landing. i hope to see many more videos of this plane. what engine are you using?

[@ELIC62]

Molto bello fantastico e complimenti al pilota

[@seanlookalike]

Great achievement enjoy.

[@EssentialRC]

Congrats. Would like to do an electric version of one of these sometime soon. Done a 40%er. Seems small now looking at this.

[@TheShiphoo]

now put that little kid with major talents for flying inside with control :D

[@LaurenTurtles]

nice plane!

[@landocreamcheese5126]

Very interesting music selection.

[@chsch1369]

Do you have a video with an "on board" camera on this amazing plane ??? It will be a great idea to show them how are the reactions when it fly !! thanks and nice job !!

[@dadoo667]

Biggest YAK I ever saw. I wouldn't do it, "but what a ride it would be for the family pet"! I, personally, wanted to climb on-board.

[@Telfordmac]

very nice plane! would be cool to see you do a bit more with it, some scale aerobatics would be great? does this thing have the power for vertical flight?

[@eebarreto]

need bigger engine is little under power in CC

[@Jakefrc]

My uncle has a 50% plane and he does some pretty sweet stunts with it :)

[@chuckpelayo9487]

AAhh Phil, come on. I like the soft jazz it's giving off man. Bro Alam. That is freaking sweet!!!!!!!!, were can I purchase a RC plane just like that brother?

[@ThomasCEwing]

Very impressive! Excellent job of building AND flying. I have seen a small airport near the shore where Skydive Dubai operates. Is that near where your RC field is located?

[@SLengines]

Wow Very very Nice

[@Helldriver1964]

The sound should be better with a star engine. But it's a nice plane! Wish you a lot of fun with it!

[@AD7ZJ]

Absolutely beautiful plane, but next time please leave the music out and don't interrupt exciting parts of the video with interspersed stills.

[@robajohnson]

Nice plane and a GREAT approach and landing! Beautiful! On another note this flying field needs to be added to Phoenix Flight simulator! Great skyline

[@66Wilies]

Nice job

[@JDDupuy]

Camera was out of focus 99% of the time. Try "Auto" mode next time. Nice plane... but the music had to turned off for me.

[@Life_Is_A...]

music was a bit too much , but the camera guy was flawless really !

[@modelmaker56]

Any of you guys noticed the Burj Dubai skyscraper in the background ?? that's the highest tower in the world... I've visited and believe me it's very, I repeat Very Impressive...Howz that for another record? Anyway Hi from Beirut to all the guys in Dubai.. Great job Mr Swaidan... from a pioneer modelmaker here in Lebanon..
