The world's largest Mig 25 RC scale model jet?

Is this the largest ever jet-powered scale model of a MIG 25?
Believe it or not, this RC model airplane was built by Clinton Kraidy as a school project and is powered by two large gas-turbine engines and fitted with two 14-channel Futaba FASST receivers plus more servos than you can shake a stick at.
The all-up weight of this model is 42Kgs or almost 95lbs -- to which you have to add the weight of some 8 liters of Jet-A1 fuel.
There was a problem with one of the engines during testing but, thanks to some clever work with a file by Clinton's father, the engine was soon running properly again.
Next comes the maiden flight. Don't miss it!
Filmed on the day before the 2011 ANZAC international jet-meeting at Tokoroa New Zealand.

That kid is very lucky. His dad taught him all about science and is willing to spend time with him and pay for his projects.

[@UriahD85]

This was definitely in New Zealand. Cool. Wouldn't be too far then.

[@GlideYNRG]

Thats where the wheels to the wheely bin went to??? Very lovely mate.

[@RcAndries]

Oh wow, that thing is enormous! Can't wait for the maiden, nice cliffhanger ;)

[@BaDlYbRUiZeD]

Men... this plane rocks! I could fit my kids inside of that thing! :D

[@johnbainum]

That's a huge jet, thanks for sharing

[@aeroangrymoose]

@brunosoto As a jet aircraft mechanic, yea we do actually fix turbine and compressor blades with hand filing... Full on.

[@vmat377]

Bruce you forgot to ask him the important question that us viewers would be asking: "Does it go mach 3?"

[@GoldenPoo]

I was at a RC club once and now I know why they have those privacy partitions at the work benches at an event like this, it would be prudent to take a tent and cover your work space

[@startazz]

Great looking bird and can't wait to see the maiden flight ;-)

[@militantmindset]

that is freakin awesome ... i hope he got an A for that project!!!

[@BaNkAi_2x]

OMFG!!WHERE IS THE VIDEO OF IT FLYING AND LANDING?

[@HeatherMardon]

I wonder what the wingspan/area is ? It looks like about 3m span. I suspect the wing loading is rather high... Would not like to be the test pilot.

[@therealxunil2]

The flight video is the first video on list on the right hand side. . . not really that hard to find.

[@michaelvivian8759]

SILENCE is Golden ! Shut the camearman --UP. !

[@hanish46]

Hey! How old was clinton kraidy when he built this?? Hat's off to him!

[@free533]

that is awesome!! can't wait for the maiden

[@paperaircraft12]

wow that thing is huge!!!

[@Lonewolf2201]

Should build a trailer for it to save on assembly time :D great job though, looks like the real thing at 5:10!

[@ronaldsumler5410]

Was this built from plans or was it a kit, how could I get plans or where to buy kits or parts. Please respond

[@VERGIS92]

are these proportionally heavy as the real thing, same weight / dimensions ratio ?

[@jackpleas]

i wanna know how it feels when flying caz the real one is really hard to maneuver..

[@overbank56]

I'm speechless! incredible!

[@npsit1]

Is this model just not finished yet? Curious why they would have left the exhaust nozzles so... unkempt. Huge holes with a view into the craft itself. Not very nice.

[@m93sek]

can anyone tell me about the relation of rc and real turbines, weather they are more efficient, make relative more thrust and how their relative fuel consumption is?

[@westprogamer3294]

Nice jet Mr. Frodo..

[@VERGIS92]

@Pr3dProductionsHD it can actually cost much more, a good engine alone can cost between $3,000 and $15,000 but it's worth the fun! I have also heard that target drones, which are basically high performance RC planes, used for shooting practice by the military can cost as much as $300,000!!! expensive toys

[@aaronpickett3554]

show us the awesome one you made in your shed since its so much better

[@ONEpocketKID21]

o the things that could have been done with that money! but o well...looks fun as hell

[@j.mangum7652]

Build the rival. The XB-70 Valkyrie! All six engines with afterburner! Just make it a flying gas tank!

[@ResonantFractal]

Lovin ur videos mate!

[@DKinch417]

Kilos are mass newtons are weight/thrust

[@Gig540]

@m93sek go to JetCat USA they have everything you need to know about these things. Great info there

[@420choky]

you guys are crazy !!! i like it!

[@dudas12100]

anyone knows where could i get one like it without making one myself?

[@AVMamfortas]

The aircraft is fine. The video is fine. The commentary questions are dorkish.

[@kennethhoffman8845]

Why don't you just build another one twice that size and get in it? :^)

[@bladerunner1757]

Kenneth Hoffman I

[@culebreitor]

14mz, yeah! Now i Have the same radio :D

[@arkangelares]

I bet this shows on radar.

[@philipyoung3030]

Didn't see it get off the ground...WTF!!! That's 5:26min I'll never get back!!!

[@LondonRCProject]

[@javiermac5885]

I was hoping it would go Mach 3!

[@youbabyanthony]

[@NiquidFox]

alright lets put a cat in the cockpit...

[@ONEpocketKID21]

@CrackerMcGillicuddy lol...i noticed that too!

[@zero00tolerance]

The narrator knows a lot about RC stuff .. his name is Bruce you can watch all his videos about electronics and airplanes. Have you even click on his page ?

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

YOU JUST DONT SEE A RUSSIAN MIG JET, IN THE BACK OF A VAN THESE DAYS!!! GREAT PLANE MATE!!!

[@CadillacWack]

Big LOL @ 1:45 hahahaha ,

[@zhaoyangning562]

OMG...... Do you mind I sitting in it?

[@darkdog4440]

1:57 thats what she said :D

[@MarcoTUV]

@davethewave1223221 Newton is the right measure used in propulsed engines

[@14andr]

Что-то со взлётом я юмора не понял.... Взлетит аль нет?

[@user-hq5ek2et3n]

+ Андрей Евсеев не показали взлёт. :(

[@PHeMoX]

@BaDlYbRUiZeD Surely a good way for them to have some fun, but perhaps a tiny tad dangerous. ;-)

[@chizlswizl9908]

The young man with the Mig was having an adventure in mining butt nuggets! Yikes!!!

[@gobxxx]

SHIIIT WHERE THE FUCK ON EARTH DID YOU GET THIS AWESOME PLANE AND HOW WHERE U ABLE TO AFORD IT? I WANT ONE TOO

[@Zahal948]

wish I had the money for it. I would do the same.

[@ali709aliali]

Cool.

[@Stillstoned1]

does it fly??????

[@xjet]

Yes, the flight (and crash) videos are also on this channel.

[@dassosergio]

xjet

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

@Drogin69 Thats what she said!

[@BaDlYbRUiZeD]

@PHeMoX only if i was flying it :P

[@nastynate-lc7yf]

mount you some co2 powered pellet guns on your jet, add some bombs and long range rockets, add you a live video feed.

[@BrotherBloat]

epic!!!!

[@cjmalong2630]

cool

[@kawasaki228]

@kawasaki228 cant get any*

[@Floatsfast]

Too bad that the narration was full of stupid remarks like "is it a Spitfire?"

[@Michael-uj7rm]

Sounds like Kiwi blokes to me ;)

[@nigarcia1]

I was boring looking at how they did all the stuff to be ready, but and the end I didn't see it flying......no men.....

[@Regenperf]

@xjet The ultimate insult :O

[@storegangster]

Dear santa...........

[@lsisthewatcher4084]

Nice plane could do with out the stupid comments though

[@MoondyneJoe]

If Im not mistaken it sounds like RCModelReviews (Bruce Simpson )

[@bigrockets]

I agree

[@RuSomeKindaIdiot]

Would be better without the dumb comments!

[@fergusonhr]

Is it just me or does that kid in the white shirt looked like he just burned a fatty...

[@beaudupre3248]

Wow, the abuse you endure in the comments. Thanks for continuing this thankless task.

[@bkjeep]

this is insane! any in-flight video!? I have a cool video of a 65% folker dr1. check it out!

[@user-ys5kd5ls1t]

BKJEEP น่าด

[@SPAINFALCON]

Jajaja mucho avión pero no lo hemos visto volar!! Así claro que es el mas grande! Eso no vuela!!

[@winterka100]

@davethewave1223221 99.9% of the population uses kilograms when referring to weight.The other .1% use Newtons to show how knowledgeable, superior and boring they are.

[@fishjnky]

5:26 of bullshit..show it flying

[@scottmurray4689]

This would be better if they spoke English

[@imaudie43]

The jet engines don't fit, there tiny

[@OyePressStart]

indoor model lolz

[@HuasoPodrido]

get rid of the dork asking the questions.

[@SCOTTYPization]

seriously man! I just agonized thru that five minutes of video and no flight?!! Bullshit bro, total BS!!

[@jayfmiller]

Subscribe or else? Chuck you Farley.
