World's Largest Foamy Unveiled

[@ToyManFlyer1100]

I guess this answers the question. " Is mine's bigger than yours ?? " LOL!!! 😀😀😀

[@pbartolomeo05]

This is the cleanest garage I have seen.

[@sasquatchjunk]

Very cool project! Ill bet it would be a good tow plane for really large sailplanes.

[@mech-productions8958]

lol a UAV sailplane tow

[@7452]

I bet you have ! This plane had a 2 cylinder 100cc engine. Just enough to get it flying and do basic manuevers

[@MasboyRC]

This is awesome !! How much engine cc, propeller size, wingspan size, weight?

[@7452]

thanks for sending the youtube link gruuthuse, the DC 10 build was truly awesome

[@ErntUdet]

aweeeesome guys. been following the series... hurry up june so we can see this beauty fly. but best of luck with the maiden !

[@vizzuleyes]

Good luck on the maiden guys, nice work!

[@G56AG]

Yours looks like a full size plane, so you definitely get points for style!

[@wi11y1960]

The panels are what are used for home insulation. Pink panels are 2 inches thick.

[@pcmcg]

just realized the guy is drinking a beer too ... love it

[@xzqzq]

Cool video. Liked the fast-forward w/ circus music.

[@zanehill1]

Standing in line with a prop. Brilliant. Looks fun tho.

[@DailyLifeNY]

those are some massive main wheels you got there

[@VeganRashad]

You could put a six year old child in this thing! It's huge. I like the big wheel tires off a toy. lol This is awesome thoug

[@sailrjim]

I thought it was funny they assembled the thing inside that building. Looking at the doors, they would never get it out of there. haha. I guess they had no intention of flying it that day.

[@vintagesurvivor]

Two guys standing in line with the prop are just brilliant. Darwin at work I suspect.

[@donherley1811]

Yes, I noticed that, too. I was particularly impressed with old mate with the durrie and beer LOL

[@skrawn1342]

It flies like a beaut!

[@Mr74runner]

Cool plane guy's! but have you seen Pink Floyed? It's got a 24' wingspan it's on KZbin.

[@forteleaerieneromane]

...looks awesome!

[@Danno1201]

Nice edit , I love the pause at 3:44

[@Rontheyahoo]

I love it, foam, gasoline, a few beers and a few smokes. What could possibly go wrong?

[@84npor]

What i like as well is the sound track! ;)

[@gacwalker]

That tail wheel....why not just make it standard tricycle gear, if you want the thing to be level on the ground. The tail wheel seriously inhibits the low speed take off, and it's ability to rotate

[@mapes12]

Don't let the big guy drop his cigarette on it.

[@harrytuttle5722]

It's differently not the worlds largest. Big Floyd - 50-foot wingspan pink foamie was built in 2010. All the parts where cut by hand, Built by an aeronautical engineering student in Wisconsin in his dorm!

[@Bluswede]

I was there for the maiden. Crappy day, fog and rain, only cleared just before sunset...it was a race to get the thing to the field and set up before it was too dark to fly! Big Floyd was built in a Bayfield, WI garage. The 27-foot Pink Floyd was built in a dorm on the University of Wisconsin, Madison, campus. The first in the series, Floyd, (the pink was implied by the color of the foam) flew regularly in a golf dome on the south end of town, where the local electric RC guys had weekly fly nights. All three were electric.

[@normg2242]

Hahahaha the music...love it!

[@thefokker1]

Little bigger your in ultralight territory instead of rc. Great work looks like a fun project.

[@MrHansen]

1:00 the guys cigarette ash just burned a hole in the wing.

[@7452]

This will be flown at the Newton Skyking's Club during the 2012 SPADFEST June 8-9th . Details are located on Spadworld.

[@1987543]

This is going to be the worlds largest foamy! Documented no...but heck who would claim it if it wasn't darn close to being Legendary! Long live Team Abby Normal!

[@ChineseSweatShoppe]

I would like to make a Corsair that size, maybe a little smaller.

[@hmjeon8609]

I would like to see wing construction... I think an ultralite wing can be made of foam with some frp reinforcement

[@TheTruthHurtsYup]

actually, they did maiden the plane, the video is on their channel.

[@ufoengines]

COOL! Build a version of Dr. Lippisch's Aerodyne ! I'd get a super kick out of that!

[@barand1978]

Awesome can't wait to see this fly at Newton!! If i can't make it till the 9th don't crash it on the 8th!! Great Job!

[@TheTopAce900]

thnx for the idea, c'yah.

[@1987543]

Really big servos!

[@skyphantom29]

Music is over the top a bit lol. nice plane though, bet it was a challenge to strengthen

[@totalminer2002doesMC]

Wow good job guys

[@berniepowell720]

I like it bloody awesome ! like to see it fly though.

[@mephesis]

powered by smirnoff hahaha, that made my day!

[@1987543]

We will leave it pink. Because no one would believe it foam if we covered it!

[@mikepearson5751]

Hey you’re plane kicks ass now give us the flight video o yeah

[@yeetedsohardiskeeted]

that thing would probably carry that kid

[@Thuribles]

holy huge. liked and subscribed

[@winterka100]

Time to move on and build an ultralight. Maybe it will be easier without the radio gear and servos etc.

[@gottalottathrowingknives9496]

that looks like its probably at least 20 foot wing span

[@zero00tolerance]

Any expert want to tell me what kind of servos and receiver does it use ... thankyou so much have a good day.

[@brucepeter2007]

Amazing, looks almost the same profile as my Mud Duck Toffee Bomber. Did yours fly? Mine only flies once a year at our clubs Fly In event. If yours flies anything like mine does it flies so slow... Interesting to see one this big.Good luck with your flight. Regards Peter

[@DestructoXxShaunxX]

Whats up with the tiny prop and motor? I know its light but you could have made it look proportional.

[@DarrenFollows]

Looking forward to the maiden!

[@MAZAWAKHAN]

If you build something this big why not just make a real one?

[@wingnutzster]

It's a giant leap from building a large toy that may or may not fly from sheets of the pink stuff that keeps your house warm to engineering a heavier than air machine designed to sustain powered flight and withstand sustained flight loads in all flight regimes and every imaginable scenario, carrying a human safely and being flight-worthy enough to be certified and given authority to fly but being complex enough to require that it's pilot be trained and licensed - don't you think?

[@richardbiron6908]

If you never flew rc, and scratch built rc airplanes, you will never understand. 😬😬😬

[@d.jensen5153]

What certified? FAR 103 doesn't even recognize it as an airplane, hence none of the things you mentioned apply.

[@e30kitty]

Sure? No! PeterSripol? DIY Electric Ultralight...

[@aval1998]

AMA regulations (can't remember if it was a FAR) state that if it goes beyond 55 pounds it has to be certified (or something like that)

[@Cleared_To_Land]

and it's powered by smirnoff vodka!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!

[@84npor]

The fuel tank is so original.

[@jimnrel]

Hail the SPADs..Love the CofG machine.. What was the total weight? I that a HK 100cc engine?

[@Lanzbik]

Peter did better

[@DTTimes]

Lanzenreiter Galaxis agreed

[@rckingdom3516]

Yee

[@emersonb5764]

Comparing apples and oranges. This isn’t a foam ultralight, this is an RC model

[@AerialVideoCentral]

what would you estimate to be the all up wieght??

[@kialsali1]

Did you fly it or not yet ? I am so eager to see it flying. Good job

[@UKReviewGuy]

They should build real planes this big for dwarfs

[@whenpigsflyrc]

awesome guys!!!!!!

[@techguy3424]

3:43 runs on vodka lol

[@1987543]

Proportional???? Do you know that is the biggest motor and prop combo available till you go ultra light variances?

[@Skydive4ever]

OMG, I can't wait to see it fly :-)

[@aerokemankes]

Of Course... It works with a bottle of Smirnoff :) 1:30

[@darrenoliverio7259]

nice job gentleman

[@7452]

Darren Oliverio thank you

[@KayWhyTee]

where can u buy that foam in Australia? near Melbourne to be specific?

[@hadleymanmusic]

Just perfect for the kid pilot.

[@AimlessMoto]

0:13 if there's a dude gawking smoking a cigarette... it's going to be a good video.

[@yeriaf]

whats the point? Might as well build one you can fly in.

[@tommyb240]

What size of mother are you using I can tell you from here it is way to small and will be underpowered for sure

[@bmpowellicio]

Why are those people holding it back for the engine tests when all they need is a few pieces of rope?

[@bernierbrett]

do u have any videos of this thing flying yet ?

[@1987543]

We may of gotten beat but we did it with style......

[@G56AG]

You got beat by a 31 ft foamie flown in Holland, You Tube title is: "BMF On Tour - GO BIG Mfk Falkens bidrag - 19. maj 2012" posted by Scherg64

[@beefjr22]

Do you have a video of this flying yet?

[@artyomkozlov3490]

i love the gas tank

[@sdearinger]

when is the maiden? I will be there !!!

[@josewitha14]

the mac hodges b29 is foam and thats huge

[@Garett_H]

but will it blend? that is the question!

[@paulschluter7298]

why didn´t they fly it?

[@7452]

Actually, they are plastic wheels off of a child's toy.

[@AngryHybridApe]

Thats what I thought. They look like Malibu Barbies beach cruiser wheels. Lol

[@7jsm7]

I hope you post a video of the flight.

[@marcaurelle123]

Love it!!!

[@ricfly52]

Did it fly?

[@pcmcg]

@4:47 pretty brave (or stupid) to stand next to the prop while its running up.

[@BensCanyonAT4]

lol i feel like i use a prop similur to that size on my 65" wingspan cub, mabe a little too small for that lol

[@greenglass2]

is that plane about 20 pounds and 10 lbs thrust?

[@darrindwp]

Has this flown yet?

[@sailrjim]

When do we get to see it fly?

[@basimpsn]

2:29 bad kid want to sit on the elevator lol

[@7452]

If it isn't, I sure would like you to show me the biggest foamy out there..

[@jaardesign]

How much of it is actually foam?

[@Wa11breaker]

1:17 are those toy wheels from those kid's bike/cars? lol!

[@liljasere]

are the wing supports Guttering ??? XD

[@pleasanthacking]

why did you not build a cri cri instead of hiding behind apareture?

[@Sandropalis]

Where is the test flight???

[@TheMacncheese13]

Amazing...

[@1southwestCap]

so why not hollow out the cockpit and fly that thing haha?? the next cri cri!

[@BensCanyonAT4]

i could realy do away with the old rocket launch style music at the beggining and the weird music after that
