The World Largest RC Model - Junkers JU 52 Assembly and flight

Watch more of my videos on my Playlist:
/ @scalejetfred
A unique and only record of the assembly of the very Large RC model of a JU 52. The JU 52 pre-war Passenger, freight and military transport plane was built as a Giant very large model by Hannes Heppe. During his preparation for flights at the Oppingen (Germany) Flugplatz "AirlinerTreffen" I was able to record the preparation to have the model ready for flights.
The model weight is 98.4 kg and wingspan is 6.09 meter!
Powered by 3 Moki 5 cylinder Radial 4-Stroke gas engines it flys - as you will see - realistically.
It is a Crowds pleaser, especially in Germany.

who needs CGI for aeroplanes when you have these beautiful things !

[@williamtaylor5733]

They don't get any better than this. Superb model, enjoyed watching the assembly, flight and a perfect AND safe landing.Well done.

[@ThrashRoC]

This is REALLY , REALLY ; The Most Exiting RC Model Airplane i`ve EVER seen !! You can see the Wooden Structure , when they are assembling this BEAUTIFUL Ju 52 . The Sound of the Motors ( I read about the Motors , they are original Stern Motors ..Unbelievable Great) is AWESOME !! 11 of 10 Points .. Conggratiulations to this Phantastic Airplane !!

[@Phototraum1]

Ich liebe die Tante Ju. Bin mit ihr mal mitgeflogen. Phantastisch

[@ScaleJetFred]

Dieses Modell hatte leider einen Crash auf dem selben Flugplaatz: hier findest Du mein video: Video link kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoebnWx9qJlkors Danke fuer Deinen Besuch auf meinem KZbin ScaleJetFred Kanal! Gruss aus Dublin, Fred

[@edelweiss149]

Hallo liebe Ju 52 Piloten, also erst mal Hut ab. Da habt Ihr ein wunderschönes Modell zusammengebaut, mit allen kleinen Details. Ich habe Gänsehaut gehabt beim Video ansehen. Ich wünsche Euch mit der tollen Ju 52 ganz viel Erfolg und immer eine gute Landung. Für mich und sicher Euch und vielen anderen Menschen, das schönste Flugzeug der Welt. Delta Charly Delta Lima Hotel is now ready for departure :-) Ganz liebe Grüße Marco

[@2233golf2]

During the moments you cant see anything for scale you could swear that this is the right deal.....just stunning-without words.......and they got the sound right,too... Thanks for posting.

[@caesarillion]

About the same size as the KR-2 I built and flew with a 36 hp VW engine I built too. Thanks for such a beautiful job. Hope it lives a very long life, Paul in Thailand

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank you Paul in Thailand. May be you can put some photos of your KR-2 on You tube or an other channel? I love to see it!

[@64miroslaw]

Hugo Junkers would be proud of this model.

[@kmiya211]

What can I say that has not been said before as far as compliments. The intense assembly of such a large scale airplane was fascinating to watch. To see the airframe detail was mind blowing. I enjoyed this plane far more than watching the large scale jet airplanes. You just can't beat a Moki engine.

[@divyajnana]

Talk about pre-flight!!! Great video, Thank you.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank You for your nice comment! The shoot was made free hand. On the end I had a cramp in my arm! But the resulted video made me very happy! Fred

[@stevegauth30]

WOW!. Truely the most impressive model anywhere! Just WOW!

[@peterkemna1008]

Ein unglaublich schönes Modell der Tante Ju. Eine andere Bezeichnung war fliegende Wellblechgarage. Wie dem auch sei. Mein Respekt gilt den Erbauern und Piloten

[@ScaleJetFred]

Auf jeden Fall Peter! Danke fuer den Besuch meines "ScaleJetFred" KZbin Kanals> Leider htte Dieses Modell eine ungeplante "Landung": Video link kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoebnWx9qJlkors Wie es danach weiter ging ist mir nicht bekannt. Herzlichen Gruss aus Dublin, Irland! Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank You for your nice comment! But most of your praise must go to the builder and the flying team. Regards Fred

[@carlosadolfopierotti299]

Amigos alemanes, yo siendo muy niño he volado en estos Junker , conozco muy bien este avión. El trabajo realizado por Uds es magnífico!!!!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Grazias Carlos Adolfo for the visit to ScaleJetFred! Greetings from Dublin Irlande - Fred

[@kaefermichaify]

My wife flew the original yesterday in Hamburg. This sounds like the real thing. Amazing work.

[@seamaster27]

Fantastic. Probably one of the most impressive models to be seen anywhere in the world today.

[@grimbergen0117]

Duits vakmanschap, ook dit model ziet er weer gelikt uit.

[@stevemull2002]

What a superb model, fantastic workmanship, it was real in every way,

[@ScaleJetFred]

I am happy you liked it! Unfortunately 2 years later this nice model crashed due to pilot error during landing approach. It is also on my KZbin channel. Thanks for watching, Fred

[@ADV-Frank]

Daumen hoch für dieses tolle Modell

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Frank! on ScaleJetFred one more video with record of its crash 2 years later on the same airfield. Regards Fred in Ireland

[@ScaleJetFred]

I am happy that you liked the plane and video, thank you! Greetings from Ireland, Fred

[@gitforbrains]

Stunning. This is what Heaven will be like for blokes.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank you for watching. Nice to see your name again! Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi William! Thanks for watching and the very nice comment. It is realy great when ones "work" is appreciated. Happy viewing in the future and greetings from Dublin, Fred

[@Chorochronchotor]

I cried when it took off, beautiful aircraft. well done.

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

My compliment to some beautiful metal work

[@NHfiddle]

This is gorgeous. All I can think about is the opening credits to the movie"The Battle of Britain" where the JU-52 is making its flight to Berlin. Beautiful model, congrats.

[@granskare]

I believe the Ju52 had 2 bladed propellers, not 3 as shown but t his is a great show :) An amazing display...superb!!! danke :)

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Jonathan! The model wingspan is 6.09 meter. The original is 29 meter _ 1:4.076 This had not been built at the time of the film Thank you for watching my video. Greetings, Fred

[@guitartec]

Beautiful plane and craftsmanship.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Dominik! Thank you for watching this video on my ScaleJetFred channel! Your nice comment says it all. Please tell your friends? Greetings from Ireland, Fred

[@aeromodelisme45]

Vraiment super beau ! qu'elle ligne et le bruit des trois moteurs un régal , Bravo !

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Patric G, These chaps used Lithographic type thin plate metal and rolled these through corrigated roller tools they had made for this project . Years ago I built a Scale Model of the JU 13 "Bremen" , For this much smaller plane I covered Foam wings with corrugate biscuit paper. I filled the hollow corrugation with small Balsa strips. It looked perfect! Greetings form Dublin, Ireland

[@alicroup]

Hey fella trying to reach you again

[@ScaleJetFred]

Danke fuer den Kommentar! Ja die Ju 52 fliegt saehr schoen. \Ein tolles project. Sie fliegt siche auch dieses Jahr in Deutschland. Gruss aus Irland, Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Pontiacgirl173, Thank you for commenting so nicely! Greetings Fred

[@sr633]

A lot of detail, sweat, money, hard work and smarts went into getting this bird air born. Fixed landing gear was a plus - less to go wrong. A great veteran work horse of the Luftwaffe.

[@oldcaferacer]

How kool is their number plate on their trailer suits the aircraft as well going thru the assembly list checking every thing even the pilots haha.Best thing is the most beautiful noise those engines make great looking model in the air thank you for sharing.

[@kurtschatz]

A true work of art, attention to the very finest detail.

[@JohnSTF72]

Amazing model.It easily looks like the real thing, without people near it. Amazing attention to detail!

[@0339Adam]

That is the most beautiful and scale looking plane I've ever seen, and the radials too! Outstanding. Thanks for the video!

[@robertcornelius3514]

Jesus. You know it's a serious RC air show when there are real ambulances waiting nearby.

[@ScaleJetFred]

You are correct Robert! A few Years later, at the same event, the unthinkable happened. Thankfully Ambulances where not needed but it reminded all that super large RC models need particular care. See this video I took and just survived, no one was injured when the model went out of control: Video link kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoebnWx9qJlkors Greetings from Dublin Ireland, Fred

[@dotte2008]

Ich bereite ein 3D-Modell des Junkers 52. Ihr Video hat mir sehr geholfen, das Ruder besehen und zu verstehen - an jedem Plan war es anders.

[@bliglum]

One of the most fantastically detailed, marvelously scale flying models I've ever seen. And I've seen alot of KZbin vids!!!! Seriously, Bravo!!

[@lrestrepom1]

I'm jealous, very good model as the original!...

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hallo Adam! Thank you so much for watching and specially the kind comment! Greetings, Fred

[@larshansson3208]

What a fantastic model of a fantastic airplane. It must have cost a fortune to build.

[@Spawn-td8bf]

Moki engines are so versatile. They work very well at maintaining the scale sound, appearance, and performance. That is one of the most impressive Iron Annie's I've ever seen. What a beautiful beast, every aspect down to the perfect landing and well recorded as well. Thank you for posting and God Bless, Paul from Florida.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Sunday I recorded one more flight of this monster. Unfortunately It crashed very close to me... The organisers have requested that I do not show the crashed model

[@Spawn-td8bf]

Oh, that is a shame about the crash. I pray you weren't injured. It is quite respectful that you honored their wishes. Thank you. Did they ever get it back together again? That was an awful lot or work.

[@TSemasFl]

Great work Gentlemen, an incredible build, congratulations.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank You for watching! Unfortunately This beauty lost its wings in a crash on 8 July this year, You can find it At ScaleJetFred KZbin chanel and others. Regards Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Well spoken!!! Fred

[@larrydee8859]

Excellent JU52 airliner modeling, and flying! Great Work! Thanks for sharing.

[@ScaleJetFred]

This is, I believe, the only recording showing the JU 52 assembly giving also an inside of its construction. Unfortunately it crashed 4 years later when I also was present with my camera. It was 2027. Avodeo of the Airliner meeting 2017 is on my channel... Please also tell your friends, thank you 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

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank you for your nice comment Greetings Fred

[@tomvana4270]

Great modeling.

[@CONTACTLIGHTTOMMY]

Marvelous build. TOLL!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Great that you came and watched my video Tommy

[@digitalbroadcaster]

Out of all of the models I seen and heard in my trawling 'career' of KZbin, this has easily got to be the best model ever. Even down to the fluidity of the movement. Great camera work too, paying attention to those closeup shots.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank you Alberto! two days ago the Italian team won the Nations Cub for Horse Juming in Dublin! regards from Ireland, Fred

[@paulbush8881]

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank You Mr Drone for the nice comment! please come back and see more of my 80 videos about RC models. A friend travels often to Poerti Rico,he works with Oriflame Cosmetics. Greetings from Ireland

[@ovationpdh]

Dig those fancy prop blade covers!

[@ScaleJetFred]

You are correct, it is a nice plane and a great job had to be done to get it flying. Regards Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank you for watching and the comment k miyat! Greetings from Ireland, Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Exactly what my thoughts where when I was confronted with this. I did not stop the camera for more than 30 minutes. Of cause, because i had no tripod, part of the recording had to be edited out - I was shaking because of the camera wight (Sony EX3) Thanks for contacting me, I am happy you enjoyed the "Show" Greetings from Dublin Ireland, Fred

[@NVTrucker]

Absolutely stunning. Just beautiful.

[@ebuff57]

Amazing plane!

[@the10thleper]

Wow wow wow! That is one incredible model. Absolutely one of the best I have ever seen and heard! What fun it must have been while building it and seeing how large each piece will be. Thank you for incredible dedication and patience (funding) Thank you.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thabks for watching! Greetings Fred

[@slobodandimic9295]

Wow! What a gorgeous plane. And some good flying too...

[@thierrybiigracer1656]

How can i say... just amazing! !!!

[@StephaneBoulic]

Sans même parler de la construction, que j imagine démentielle , c est un truc de fou, ne serait ce qu en mise en œuvre , transport , etc..... Trop compliqué ..... Bonjour la pression sur celui qui tient les manches...... Mais j avoue, le résultat est sublime ....

[@thierrybiigracer1656]

Sans parler du budget qu'il aura certainement fallut pour construire ce gros morceau! C'est clair que ce doit être dur de confier les commandes à quelqu'un et le stress n'en parlons pas...

[@val91201]

Simply beautiful!

[@ScaleJetFred]

I enjoyed you,r video and the model was fantastic as was the flying . I was amazed how every thing just fitted together so perfectly .congratulations on a wonderful model build .O:-)

[@BobbyTucker]

Very nice aircraft, I lived in Las Vegas, Nevada 35 years and observed many different planes of various vintages, this plane in the video looks very much like the old Ford "Tri-Motor", which they had in Las Vegas for tour flights over Grand Canyon and other destinations like Black Canyon, Hoover Dam, etc; I enjoy watching the R/C planes being assembled and flown. Thank you for sharing these videos. Happy Landings.

[@rareform6747]

Lots of work Hal

[@afrog2666]

Amazing! I love the BN-2 Islander in the back too, beautiful airplane

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Dries, unfortunately I never recorded a flight of the BN-2 on that weekend. I do like it as a model, I did fly in one as passenger a long time ago. Hope you will find some other interesting models flying on my ScaleJet channel. Thanks for watching

[@p165711]

Marvellous.

[@Flo-uy7uj]

RIP ! wahnsinnig tolles Projekt. leider heute zerschellt. Mein Beileid !!!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Ich war auch in Nellingen, positioned auf dem Hochstand. Habe filmen gestoppt als die JU 52 direkt auf mich zu flog, Gott sei Dank der Pilot aenderte die Richtung, und gefaehrdete ander mit dem Crash. So wie ich es sehe war es ein Fehler des Piloten der erst for seinen Fuessen landen wollte. wen er nicht Gas gegeben haette waere das Flugzeug schoen aufgesetzt... Ich werde den Flug hochladen auf meinen Kanal, aber nich die letzten Sekunden...GGruss Fred (vielleicht haben wir uns gesehen, I war Freitag spaet und Sonnabend Sonntag bis es zu regnen anfing

[@tcwhite0104]
