La Ferte Alais Giant RC B 29 - AMAZING!

[@maljohn6584]

THIS IS R/C MODELING AT ITS BEST. I HAVE BEEN FLYING R/C AIRCRAFT, BUILDING, AND FLYING UK TOP SHOWS FOR 20 YEARS .AND MODELING FOR 51 YEARS . THIS IS WHAT MODELING IS ABOUT, ENGINEERING, CRAFTMANSHIP, AND PRIDE. LET ALONE THE PILOT SKILLS . JUST DON'T KNOW HOW THE GENERATION OF NOT MODELERS .BUT FLYERS CAN CALL THEM SELVES MODELERS THESES DAYS !. MAIL ORDER READY TO FLY MODELS AND FOAMES. 😝 . AS A TRUE MODELER I SO MUCH APPRECIATE THIS KZbin CLIP. WELL DONE GUY'S YOU ARE A CREDIT TO OUR GREAT HOBBY. 👍👍.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Mal John! Thanks for your comment after viewing one of my 150 videos on KZbin ScaleJetFred! Hoping to see you again? Greetings from Dublin Ireland! Fred

[@terrywaters6186]

I love the more realistic power to weight ratio of this model. So many RC models are so overpowered it ruins their flight charachteristics.

[@ScaleJetFred]

I agree Terry, thats why most of mu models are very large! Thanks for watching. You can visit my KZbin channel by clicking on the blue "ScaleJetFred" on top of this, my message and select from 135 postings! Not too many crashes mixed in... Greetings from Ireland, Fred

[@jeffs7915]

A lighter plane is always preferable to a heavy one a good pilot can still fly a lighter plane in a scale like manner. RC flying is very different than full scale we have guests Observers very close to the flight line as well as Pilots. To expose them to an excessively heavy airplane is a pretty dangerous situation especially if a failure occurs on take off, ask Mac Hodges about it if you've ever seen his video of his B-29 2014 take off at warbirds over Delaware. I'm not saying weight was an issue in that crash into the crowd, he lost an engine on takeoff but nonetheless weight is an enemy for all planes.

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

Perfect! Loved the sound of the engines powering up for a beautiful takeoff and landing. The B-29 was always one of my favorite aircraft. :)

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

@@ScaleJetFred OK, I watched the link without the music. Love how that beautiful lady seems to strain to get off the ground with a "full load of bombs". Very realistic. And the landing was perfect. Only problem, and this is the same with most RC videos, is that the announcer on the loud speaker seems to think that people only came to the show to hear him. He never shuts up. Guess he loves the sound of his own voice. Not much you can do about that but somebody needs to let him know that the audience wants to hear the sound of the aircraft as it buzzes the runway. Still loved watching this huge bird fly.

This model belonged to three members of the WVLAC modelclub in Belgium and was a real show stopper in the late nineties and early two thousands. Unfortunately, one of the three passed away and since then the model is put on static display in the Brussels air museum. You can see a picture of it on the front page of the catalog: www.sbap.be/museum/brussels/brussels.htm Fred

[@angelreading5098]

Great historical coverage of this outstanding model Fred,the B-29 appears to be quiite tricky to land as it suddenly sinks on finals and the round out has to be precise,you can see this in every landing just an observation,a feat of model engineering with an excellent back up crew to look after it,thank you for preparing the video for us to enjoy.

[@ScaleJetFred]

I am glad you appreciate this video! Iit was recorded by multiple cameras and positions which really helped. ScaleJetFred is happy to hear from you Angel

[@marthavaughan4660]

thanks for showing what can be done with rc planes.since the video is only about one aircraft, you should talk to the pilots/builders and provide more info about this iconic plane. perhaps show it being put together, and some shots inside the aircraft. thanks for what you do

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank you for your kind comment Martha! Unfortunately I don't think this plane is still flying and the Dutch team has not bee see , even with different planes on airshows.

Hey Fred, That is simply a great plane to watch! I didn't have time to watch the entire video but I watched the first 4 minutes. It was a beautiful take off and an even better landing!! I need to find time to go to your website and check out the other models. However, that B29 is great and those four engines sounded fantastic! Outstanding! Rich

Everytime I see the Pilot's try to do a left turn,the plane always seems to dive Earthward until they pull it out and fly to the right where they have more control.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Nicolas, first thank you for the visit to my ScaleJetFred channel! I begun recording 1962 on 8 mm film with a Bolieu camera, progressed to Super8 mm film i the late 80ties and further used the first Sony DV camera and so on.- always recording RC flying events or our own flying club. To day I record in BluRay quality despite the 4K I could record. The EDIUS edit system improves even film recorded material to DV quality - at a price!!!

[@NamibWarrior]

@@ScaleJetFred Thanks for the quick reply and info Fred. regards from Namibia.

[@NAVYABHAN]

What I have noticed about this Aircraft is that at every takeoff I have seen so far,the Aircraft always banks to the right on climb-out,instead of the usual left bank and climb-out. So I looked even more closely and noticed that as each engine was started, all 4 rotated counter clockwise which creates an awful lot of torque focused in 1 direction. If the 2 inboard engines were to turn clockwise and counter clockwise to each other,and the other 2 outboard engines were to turn clockwise and counter clockwise at the end of the wing's,then would completely negate the problem's of uneven torque and greatly improve performance and handling in the air!!! But what does a Helicopter Guy know about these thing's???

[@ScaleJetFred]

In Europe, because of Safety Rules, an RC plane must turn away from the spectators after taking off. Equally flying behind Pilot is an absolute NO-NO Benjamin! Thank you for watching!

@@ScaleJetFred all runways have a right and left depature away from runway unless there is a second runway at 90 degrees to first at an rc field, depends also on prevailing winds which is why you can see additional runways angled away from tower or terminal.

Yes Mister Sorge, 4 bladed props have become available commercially in all sizes! Including absolutely "Scale" from many suppliers including Ramoser in Germany who have also more than 4 blade props on offer. I am happy you liked what I recorded Jerry!

Greetings from Ireland, Fred

[@judpowell1756]

one flies and one controls flaps, landing gear, bomb doors etc

[@jeffs7915]

Nowadays some larger planes have the plane's control surfaces split between multiple receivers , so half ailerons/elevator/ and rudder on one receiver, half on the other. This done due to larger voltage requirements in giant planes as well as if loss of one receiver the pilot might be able to limp the plane home for a landing with half controls, not a pretty landing but better than nothing.

[@ethanspaziani1070]

I believe this model was destroyed in a take-off accident taking off and then immediately falling out of the sky hitting some trees

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thanks for the information ethan, I was not aware of this. I do, however, know of the Super Large B 25 built and flown by Germans. It als had an engine failure on take off during an airshow in England. This is or was being rebuilt.
