SUPER GIANT RC GLIDER ''Elfe P2'' SCALE 100%

[@taofledermaus]

I can't believe that little plane was able to pull it! Very cool stuff Horst!

[@jangisgand6140]

TAOFLEDERMAUS You should start making rc models too!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

TAOFLEDERMAUS _Only during the takeoff the towing plane has to work hard. Once in the air, it's very easy to climb with that huge glider behind._ Thank you for your kind comments, my friend. _Cheers_ 😎

[@GuyOnTwoWheels]

What is next, RC planes that are bigger than the full scale version?

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Jeremy _I hope this will never happen !_

[@GuyOnTwoWheels]

RCScaleAirplanes Just wait, it is coming, haha. I vote for a RC Spruce Goose next!

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Quick! What was the wingspan of the Cri Cri again!?

[@georgobergfell]

Yeah, Cri Cri in 200% scale would be cool, still smaller than this plne though lol

[@RocketToTheMoose]

The pilot figure's head is so big in this model, I actually thought that this was the case for a moment!

[@wordreet]

WoW! I love the wing profile on the Elfe. Almost organic. And that little tug is a real hero!!

[@ovalwingnut]

Just as impressed with that "little" tow plane... its got some serious grunt.. Color me impressed.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

OvalWingNut _Thank you for your kind comments. Much appreciated!_

[@stacyp4534]

Absolutely beautiful glider, and that tow plane is crazy impressive. Great flying

[@johnnydavidcreative]

This has probably been asked - could a person take a ride in this? Amazing stuff!

[@dentidens7834]

great - I like to see an A380 in 100% scale :-)

[@ChrisB257]

That is impressive! Certainly amazing it could get the tow from a small plane... obviously it has been built super light. Some great footage there Horst. :)

[@mirekjaneczekpl]

Wow ! Great work. Thanks from Poland !

[@sebastianduk9584]

Awesome. Beautiful.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your kind comment. 👍

[@PeteSztencel]

Wonderful! A great video. And what a spectacular project! (I'd love to see it slope-soaring in the Alps.) Congratulations, and thanks for posting. Very impressed with the pilot's correct use of the airbrakes on that perfect landing; the response was exactly 'to scale'. I think I'll build a 100% Elfe P2 as a DLG. Ah, I may need to spend some time at the gym before I can throw it as high as your tow plane took it, though... ;-)

[@M0rdH0rst]

The tow-plane had a hard time :) And this time, the ailerons did not break, as on DMax. That makes me wonder: could full scale gliders with a pilot on board be pulled by RC planes?

[@pleaseclickunsubscribe]

M0rdH0rst Not safely, no, that’s for sure.

[@Birdman953]

Might as well have built the real thing. Why should the plane have all the fun?

[@the10thleper]

Wow, Nice, love the shape of the wings, very impressive. Thank you for such dedication.

[@kevinerickson2595]

what is that black spec at times stamp 2:50 ??

[@ricochetrabbit4618]

Beautiful work!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

*_thanks !_*

[@freddy7700]

Bei 1:1 kann er sich doch selber reinsetzten und fliegen.... Übrigens, toller Flieger. RESPEKT !!!

[@TheMazdamiatamx5]

FANTASTIC AND PERFECT WOW 😨😨😨

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you so much 😀

[@stevelyon9405]

Fantastic skills guys, That was so awsome to watch, very well done !

[@gooberclese]

Ummmm.....ok I have a couple of questions. 1. At 100% scale why not just get a real glider and add RC equipment? 2. Do you need a pilots license to fly it? 3.Where do you store it when not in use?

[@rickh5454]

just amazing ! 1 to 1 scale is the way to go if you have the right stuff.

[@tomasbroz8304]

Towplane technical specifications? Thank you

[@asterix1936]

.....che cosa è stato dimostrato, come far volare un fantoccio in un aliante in scala 1/1??

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Sì. Esattamente 👍😎

[@malakiblunt]

and the best part is the 1/3rd scale tow plane being chased by a giant glider ! ;-)

[@aabb-zz9uw]

Which license is required for this, and how can it be obtained? It is almost impossible here

[@Paiadakine]

Is this RC aircraft built to the same specs as the original?

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Yes, it is. The only difference from the original is its weight ... - weight of the model: 80 kg / 176 pounds with dummy - weight of original plane: 65 kg / 143 pounds without pilot _The full size glider was the only one produced._

[@Paiadakine]

RCScaleAirplanes thanks for the info. I wonder if this aircraft can be configured for a pilot so you have the option for manned flight and for RC flight.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Probably it can be converted to a manned aircraft. But there is a very BIG hurdle to jump. For manned aircraft it needs to have the authorization of the Ministry of Aviation and it have to be certified by a technical check, which relates to the construction and stability. _This is very complex and costly._

[@gasperbucinel]

Could human sit in there?

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

for sure ... have a look at the video description

[@jangisgand6140]

Is that tower plane equipped with a methanol engine? I think so because of the smoke.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Boba Fett _no methanol ... it has a two stroke engine_ 😎

[@jangisgand6140]

RCScaleAirplanes Thanks for the answer!

[@RocketToTheMoose]

To be fair, two stroke glow engines burn mostly methanol. But I'm guessing that was a gasoline engine.

[@jangisgand6140]

Brett Jaffee That was the answer I was looking for! thanks

[@sammysouth8372]

great landing bro

[@arlindocarvalho256]

388 - Thank's for published! Amazing!! Congratulations and greetings from Brazil!!!

[@lucachannel9772]

Amazing video!

[@jeffrandall4046]

Why? If I’m gonna build a 1:1, I’m getting in and flying it myself.

[@schloemo]

Why not?

[@butlersmodellingpaintingan3974]

What a fantastic model, and a great landing :)

[@mysock351C]

I wonder what the FAA would say if you just hopped in with your radio controller and flew away?

[@efox2001]

mysock351C The FAA would have nothing to say ... this isn't flying in the U.S.! 😁

[@Lawiah0]

... missing data will be completed asap

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

No additional data available 😂 _thank you for your advice. I'll change the text_

[@Lawiah0]

@@RCScaleAirplanes thx for the videos. I was just kidding around with you.

[@ronaldwitt2533]

Great flight

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

thanks !

[@percycartwright769]

I dive real credit to the people who built this beautiful glider

[@philokeefe7960]

What fresh lunacy is this? At 1:1 it is a replica not a model, being unmanned its simply a drone. Is it a man modeller thing? Mine's bigger than yours?

[@chico-de4099]

Super. Sehr schönes Modell top präsentiert.

[@Sittin.]

Germans are going bonkers when it comes to rc flying. A specially gliders. Thanks :)

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Might need a full size cub for a higher tow next time.

[@painmono2478]

1/1 size plane towed with model plane, nice.

[@destructioninprogress]

If it’s scale could you just swap the dummy with your friend in the glider and just send him away

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

probably

[@juergenloenholdt8490]

Why R.C. . Better to sit init and fly it!

[@savage101.]

If it's 100% scale, why not ride in it..??

[@bliglum]

Maybe his wife doesn't want him risking his life... ??

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Costs more money.

[@georgobergfell]

Its a lot lighter than the original plane, a real human would be way to heavy for the structure

[@nestorschalbetter5739]

Where was this?

[@jcherry50]

Thats Amazing...

[@RcObserver]

Just superb !!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ClSche]

I agree, if you have a 1:1 glider, fly it yourself! Otherwise, what’s the point!?

[@tombombadil2793]

GET IN IT !! SUPERB. ☺

[@josipvrandecic2472]

This is not a RC modeling .. it's an experimental aviation. Return us to the normal RC amateur flight area. Note: Mr. Horst do something! Danke

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Josip Vrandecic _With this plane, Patrick won the challenge of scratch building a glider within 250 days. It was shown on the German TV channel called DMAX "die Modellbauer" (The Modellers)._ Don't worry my friend. Soon I'll come back to _normal sized Rc planes_. 😎

[@josipvrandecic2472]

You are welcome !

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Only 250 days? Impressive!

[@pops9190]

Oh you Germans, always putting out the most beautiful fantastic Scale models, and flying them from beautiful fields, with announcers, and people clapping even. Very nice landing too! So here is your next model to build, Only this time you to climb inside of it your self. You do not need to rely on that dummy to do any flying, Although he did a very nice job! buildandfly.shop/product/woodstock/ Envision it, build it, do it...

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Glad you like them! 👍😉 These guys have enough skills to build a man-carrying plane. But then it would no longer be an RC model. But that's what these people want ... flying RC planes. I know a lot of RC pilots who fly full size planes either professionally or as a hobby. The nice thing about this hobby is that you can spend nice weekends with friends.

[@cbfsoar15]

spoilers seemed to snap open or closed not proportional

[@aldopiscopo5076]

else modello da costruire se trovo disegni da 4 metri

[@tatangpurnama129]

In this video, I think next the pilot glider can fly by towing with a/c RC

[@micheldriessen5081]

Had to be Swiss ... Ein achtungsvolles danke schön.

[@zacharymohrmann4329]

Beautiful Landing...!

[@fins59]

If it's fullsize why is it RC?

[@DGPlanes]

Excelente, felicitaciones!!! Un hermoso trabajo.

[@SyntheToonz]

Is use of the word "model" still legal when it's at 1/1 scale?

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

I don't know, but it is a RC model

[@johnbee9957]

With the advent of VR technology, we will soon enjoy the freedom of flight without the risks

[@ColeAviation]

WOW!!!! It looks like a flying pterodactyl dinosaur. Lol

Why not?

[@extrem55-uo6su]

das war knapp..da war die Schleppmaschine zu langsam..

So I guess the days are gone of going to the field and not having some guy constantly droning on a microphone, damn.

[@tomrisar5492]

When I heard the PA voice I thought of Wolfenstein the old computer game. Achtung Achtung

[@mybookfacetube]

I guess it beats the usual shitty music though, maybe.

[@malakiblunt]

next step 150% scale ;-) beautiful model , and its true bigger does fly better

[@michelgilormini2709]

Tres belle maquette mais ou est l'intérêt de faire à l'échelle 1/1 dans le sens où on sort du modélisme dans sa définition? A cette échelle le pilote pourrait monter dedans. En cas de perte de contrôle radio ou pilotage cela représente un réel danger et plus conséquent qu'un modèle plus petit.

[@pablobiajoni]

nice landing

[@newone2913]

Full size in case ur wondering.

[@jeffreyhagelin6047]

I don't get it, why such time, time, labor and expense and to not have the joy of sitting in the seat yourself?

[@uffdabike9503]

Instead of building such a large model, why don't you build a full sized one? Then you can fly in it..

[@ThirdDegreeWitchExplores]

WOW ......just......WOW

[@grengeg7373]

What a brick!

[@MattMauser363]

POV: you think if you can fit in here and fly

[@peterdillen1208]

For years I also did model flying, until I noticed that real flying was cheaper. then I really flew for 8 years. it was great.

[@Melvinnn11]

funny looking at a 1/2 scale plane drag a full scale glider into the air.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Melvinnn11 _the size of the towing plane is 1/3 scale_

[@psygn0sis]

Who else went, "uh-oh.....ooooh okay" when the wheels flew off?

[@calebrobinson2966]

They are designed to come off, in order to reduce weight and drag. The black stripe under the aircraft is the belly skid.

[@danieldavies8251]

No because it is a trolley meant to drop off the only reason it is there is to stop friction whilst taking off that's why they dont need it on landing I personally dont use on on my RC glider cos it's not that big (4.5 meters) and the tow plane has enough grunt to take it up with no issues

[@martinlagrange8821]

Its a wonderful thing, though I do feel some regret that, given all that work, it wasn't instead rated as a man-carrying aircraft. After all, if you can sit in it.......

[@kazodus1556]

I went gliding .........It was awesome

[@mikebuckley46]

That’s an actual glider for crying out loud Just sit in it and fly

[@hoyvintagecycles2936]

idk

[@finntobin6887]

I’m sorry but this is just a stupid idea, I don’t see the point of making a 1:1 scale RC plane

[@howardbull9001]

I don't understand why they don't just fly it themselves - perhaps it's not safe?

[@rawandgaming7113]

large than plane glider hahaha

At least put a cat in it!

LOL 🤙😂

[@JohnStenborg]

…pilots head…to big…

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

no. the model is 1 to 1 scale

[@ronpat100]

no big deal just install a few servos in a full size and yar done,,not impressed at all!!

[@garymiller8599]

0

[@wordsmithgmxch]

Oh, for crying out loud. Build (or buy -- definitely cheaper) a real plane, hop in -- and GO FLYING !!!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

They are RC modelers and therefore it's o.k. what they are doing. If they want to build a plante to sit in, they aloud do it.

[@anellcrews7974]

why do i have to watch this biden crap

[@marksparkes1]

So what you've built is a glider, not a model glider. Sorry, but what's the point?
