What a beautiful plane. Just a heads up, the Air Force logos on the aft section are both upside down. The middle star point should be facing up

[@UlrickWadson]

Your works are always amazing, ingenious and beautiful ! Please, I would like that you answer me that question : To be able to do those RC planes, did you study Aeronautical Engineering ?

[@TheMooster845]

I’m a Veteran of the USAF of 27 years and most of those years working on C-141’s & C-5’s. Only a couple of times on the C-17. I have to say Thank You for the hard work and dedication you and your team have put into the making of such an awesome aircraft. I can’t wait to see you fly her and put her through her trials!!! Excellent Job!!!!

[@marklengal9990]

What is the biggest the military has? C130? My dad was in the Air Force stationed out of Angorage Alaska. Thank you for your service 🙏

[@TheMooster845]

C-5M is our Largest Aircraft.

[@LRRPFco52]

I’ve jumped C-17As many times when I was in the 82nd Airborne, 3-325 AIR. The most comfortable bird to jump from as a paratrooper. C-141B and C-130H were brutal to load up all rigged, especially since we always jumped Mass Attack, Combat Equipment, almost always at night.

[@gerharddeutsch2953]

so beautiful congrads well done great job Ramy and the rest if the team 👍👍👍

[@bmdoes_stuff6861]

@@marklengal9990I think the c-5 is the current biggest

[@big5astra]

No doubt, Ramy is the king of the giant RC model plane builders of the world!

[@marzoval9551]

1:1 scale when?

[@riderzinc]

Not just Ramy, he has alot of people that do the work for him

[@331SVTCobra]

Everyone at RC meetup is impressed with how the C-17 flies and it's the star of the show. When the show is over, everyone packs up their cars and goes home. Ramy gets in his C-17 and flies home.

[@jakerazmataz852]

If he used the money on a real plane he could. I realize this is a hobby, but with the money they could get a license AND a real plane. 🤷‍♂ I'm sure some/many are pilots.

[@GFSwinger1693]

I have worked for over 35 years on the full scale model version and I can tell you this is outstanding.

[@Loneranger670]

Totally blown away. This is what social media should be like. Good clean fun that is interesting. Well done Ramy and team!

[@nakfan]

Amen to that...

[@Dave-pp1td]

There’s not a lot of people that can do what you do. You truly are a master of your craft. Excellent work.

[@hanswurst6712]

Fantastic build. And its awesome to see all the tecnical details. 😍 But there is one thing, at 14:17 u can see the USAF logo/star on the back is upside down. 🙄

[@chris-jones]

I came here to see if anyone had spotted that, I think the wing ones are as well. Single point should be uppermost and pointing forwards I think.

[@barthutchison4207]

Hollywood. Tyler Perry. And a satanic pentagram.

[@palco22]

.... on both sides too.

[@rcnfo1197]

​@@barthutchison4207 😂😂😂 ... wait, are you serious? smh

[@rcnfo1197]

Good catch. Better view at 12:31

[@theviperman3]

Tail Sign "RRC" .. Nice touch ... absolutely magnificent build.

[@ual737ret]

This C17 is the ultimate in RC aircraft. Ramy is the undisputed King of RC modelers.

[@user-zr7ii9lh3j]

My dad retired from the Air Force. Him and a friend did large RC. And I can’t say enough how much credit people who do this deserve. My dad would joke and say I’d rather work on a real plane anytime because they are more easy. Congratulations on a beautiful build!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Ramy - this project is AMAZING!!! So Cool So Beautiful!!!

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Cheyenne just seen me watching this and said holy s**t. My only answer was “f***ing Ramy man” 😂 ICONIC bro. 🔥

Army is the goat

[@Aiz.maldives]

Hey i subscribed to you

[@creepyrat1]

You are an absolute master of large scale builds. I started following years ago when you did the 777 on what looked like the dining room floor? This C-17 is just mind blowing. Great job!!!

[@NotAnotherG]

Awesome!! Incredible build, then upside-down insignia. I hate when that happens 😢

[@P_Jason]

Oooof. Hopefully they fixed that on the repaint!

[@miragemodelling]

Saw that too, definitely hope they fix that.

[@icin4d]

Outstanding work. Looks like somebody applied the star and bars on the fuse while it was inverted. Simple fix I imagine. Can't wait to see the re-maiden, and your next project.

[@gerrymaguire127]

I thought that too.🇮🇪

[@wingtimeRV7]

Yup stars and bars on tail are upside down.

[@stevena9305]

Its also incorrectly set out - amazing model though.

[@Hughes500]

Looking at the size of the landing gear put the massive size of it into perspective. Fantastic build!

[@andyjames6664]

You have made a stunning model of an iconic aircraft. It must give you chills flying it.

[@user-zy8vy7fb8j]

The grade of details is so great, that the C-17 is now almost perfect. Why almost? Now the flares are missing, as due to your expertise we can expect them to be installed 😂. Great job and excellent result. Chapeau!

[@seconddaymusic8393]

They're also missing the high powered lasers to blast infrared missiles with

[@blauer2551]

@@seconddaymusic8393Can’t be sure

[@donaldrunnells6097]

One of the most beautiful aircraft I have seen in a long time ( but the stars on the rear fuselage are upside down )

[@steveone9375]

very nice ramy we are all very proud of you , You have taken the hobby to a new level

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

1/8th scale, and it is still humongous! Brilliant work Ramy!

[@mark5846]

That is an incredible airplane. Thank you Rami and Tyler for sharing your talents.

[@randomnickify]

oh woow, the landing gears are great.

[@troutjunkie7330]

No way. Too much bulk. Who ever did the machining never looked at Space stuff. Too much solid metal. Everything should have holes, triangles or honeycomb cut outs. The struts are available for MTN bikes at third of the weight. Even Ramy was cutting stuff away. Made to support 5 tons. No reason for it.

[@danb.4571]

Absolutely mind blowing. The complexity of the landing gear and gear doors is just crazy. How many servos are there in this build? How many channels on the transmitter? Wow. Just wow. You’re the man, man. 👑

[@ibateur]

In the first minute alone I was awestruck! Well done!

[@DJaquithFL]

You make something so incredibly complex and one-of-a-kind look like a simple paint by numbers beginners kit build. That only comes from incredible planning and extreme talent. Kudos to you! 👍😎

[@temp0bb931]

Would love to see a collab with Ramy RC and Mike Patey in aero engineering topics :)

[@Jules_73]

It's fun to live vicariously through your channel with all of these amazing builds. Thank you for bringing us along for the journey!

[@Terry_Fritz]

Now that it's painted it looks even bigger. 😯

[@joelbosshoss9029]

You have truely out done your self. Watched the C-17 at the Long Beach, CA airport accomplished some record breaking feats while under going testing and certifying. Congrats on a beautiful bird.

[@mdeasy]

I just can't stop smiling looking at this beast of a creation!!! Great job Ramy and the RRC team!!!

[@Macrobish]

A master modeller/technician/engineer at work. Fabulous model

Absolutely stunning Rami and crew. You guys must be so proud of your accomplishments with plane. Well done guys.

[@blaccteezy]

Man I know you're so proud. I've followed your builds for years.

Incredible 😮 Those Sky Candy lights and gear set it off👏

[@roystevenson9632]

Outstanding! Love the attention to detail, and engineering troubleshooting skills you need for these projects.

[@fepatton]

Amazing work as always, Ramy! I had no idea how complicated the prototype's landing gear is. They fly over our house all the time, but the gear is down by the time we see it. Very interesting solution on the model!

[@encinobalboa]

Cut the music. I want to hear the engines.

[@chuckford5927]

That's one of the most impressive RC models I've ever seen! A job well done. I've flown on C-141's and the C-5. Never a C-17. Wish I could have before I retired.

[@Dingusdongusok]

You say "it is beautful" oh man that is an understatement!! its marvelous, i am speechless. What a real stunning wonderful etc etc for this plane. I do not now what I have to say more So many hours of building and so many $$$ spent ...... B E A U T I F U L L !! 👌👌👍👍👍 Peter

[@agwhitaker]

The design, construction, and operation of the undercarriage alone is first-class.

[@RaspberryWhy]

Great work. Small detail tho..... US roundel is upside down on the fuselage

[@PhilBender612]

Rammy, this thing is just jaw dropping. It's so beautiful so cool so nice. One question, though, on the sides of the fuselage, the stars and bars appear to be upside down.Five point star should have one point up. Or....Is it supposed to be like that?
