WORLD’S LARGEST RC 65% SCALE Fokker DR.I DREIDECKER/TRIPLANE [*UltraHD and 4K*]

WORLD’S LARGEST RC 65% SCALE Fokker DR.I DREIDECKER/TRIPLANE [*UltraHD and 4K*]
Steve Carr's first public flight of his new DR1 Triplane at the Large Model Associations East Kirkby Show 2018. This is a replica of the famous DR1 triplane, with a wingspan of 4.8 metres and is available as an 'Almost Ready To Fly' (ARTF) kit from the manufacturer. Re-schemed from the original manufacturer into Dick Dastardly's Wacky Races Triplane with the famous Mutley.
It currently has 4 Multiplex Receivers (1 in each wing and 2 in the tail).
Servos are all Hitec 44KG torque (3 per aileron, 2 per elevator, 3 for rudder).
Onboard power provided by J.Perkins lithium polymer batteries
Engine is Steve's own design (crank shaft, crank case. manifolds, exhaust and electronic ignition). Cylinders and pistons are from the 3W275 engine giving 550cc.
Filmed with the Panasonic AG-UX180 Pro 4K camcorder by Dom for the 'Essential RC' KZbin at the East Kirby Large Model Association (LMA) Show 2018.

Another brilliant video thanks essential RC

[@cross3052]

The DR1 is one of my favorite aircraft. This model is awesome. I love the pilot...

[@mikemorgan2733]

In my 50+ years of modeling this has to be the most entertaining model and flying ever. Can you imagine what the allies would’ve thought had the tripe actually been able to fly like this.

[@Vincent-Vega24]

Seeing how good and responsive this 65% Fokker is, makes you wonder exactly what all could be done in a full sized one especially when there is someone behind you shooting at you!!!!! Another amazing airplane!!!!!

[@rubenangelvarisco9719]

The best Rc video I've ever seen. Compliments! Impressive all.

[@EssentialRC]

Wow, thanks!

[@aSpyIntheHaus]

There comes a point where it stops being a "scale aircraft" and is then just an "aircraft". This is where that line in the sand should be drawn. Nice plane by the way

[@christopherbatty3837]

15 ft span.....36 inch tailplane. ...it flew...me in it: F1 CASSUTT IIIM....the Reno racers have wings down to 12 ft... I agree with this comment by Adrian: if you go to so much time, effort expense (I am aircraft engineer/restorer...owned 1934 Cessna & 1930's DH Puss Moth, DH82A & rebuilds of lots of wood: I KNOW how time - intensive this work is)...why not "go th extra" few %. There are now "model" Jungmeisters SAME SIZE as scaled, piloted home-builds....amazing ☺☺☺ ANYWAY...ALL good FUN ✈

[@mikedench1110]

Hats off to the pilot, that was one hell of an impressive bit of stunt flying. Great plane too.

[@petergorm]

Wow, this was impressive. Great flying and great camera work 👍

[@AlbertDolmans]

Beuatifully constructed and amazing flying control !

[@RizwanKhan_99]

Legend has it that the guy is still trying to start that engine

[@AlbertDolmans]

beautifully constructed and fantastic flying controle !

[@stacyp4534]

That is a beautiful plane. Looks bigger than most ultralight fliers.

[@kytrucking67]

Crazy!! Beautiful build.

[@johnclarke2553]

Very nice stall turns!

[@rickymackey2467]

Need to strap a go pro camera to the plane. That footage wold be AWESOME!

[@Shoshun2]

engine definitely sounds better in slo mo!

[@lukewarmwater6412]

somewhere ut there is a grumman G-164b that is this size. my freinds dad built it in his garage. took him three years and it had a weed eater motor on it. the hopper and spreader were functional and it could have applied londax to ten acres of rice.... love this stuff! nice vid.

[@dukecraig2402]

Incredible, as a former Air Defense gunner in the Army if I saw that thing it'd probably freak me out so bad I'd start shooting at it.

[@ГеннадийДорошков-р6ъ]

Super

[@rc-fannl7364]

Great flight. And did they "stop the pigeon" this time? ;-)

[@guennibub]

Irgendwie kein Modell mehr. Aber tolle Leistung Bau- als auch Flugtechnisch...👍

[@jay6817]

Man that's insane

[@clayz1]

Really nice flying and filming.

[@A3Kr0n]

My cat would like to fly in that. I asked him and he said "meow". That means yes in this instance.

[@airbrushingbynick6071]

they would be able to have a dog fight then.

[@RizwanKhan_99]

This plane has got some serious 3d thrust vectoring

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

I've just noticed the elevators work in unison but also independently of each other, helps with turns?

[@EssentialRC]

Didn't notice that myself but yes...I would suspect so. It has a VERY light wing loading and even in a mild breeze requires a lot of skill to control it.

[@mickberry9991]

Pretty gosh darn cool. 😁👍

[@scottw550]

You could fly Snoopy, the pet beagle of Charlie Brown

[@Pondimus_Maximus]

Just put an electric starter on the damned thing! 😀

[@zolatanaffa87]

as a minimum it would take as in formula 1 applicable at the time of ignition!

[@greywebb1472]

The original plane was hand propped

[@alphagt62]

Just use a cordless drill

[@Andingo86]

Awesome plane!! Good work!!

[@kf2510]

Cool plane but I'm seeing these rc planes getting bigger and bigger which increases liability--what if there's a malfunction and the pilot loses control and a plane that big comes crashing down??

[@ToyManFlyer1100]

Well, just like flying turbines jets, you have to be " certificationed " to fly something this big. Not ev'ry one can pass the " Certifications process ", either. Just like ev'ry one that wants to fly " full scale " don't have a PPL., either.

[@Raptor306090]

You could give a small kid the ride of his life.

[@marcdsh6998]

Most excellent!

[@ultraideas]

Woooow Amazing RC Plane

[@eds6889]

There is an actual plane that is smaller than this. I believe it’s called a Stits.

[@mrod7692]

Beautiful

[@chrisstokes1963]

Pretty neat...

[@renaturezalife1001]

Fantástico 🤔💚🐸 Renato & Floquinho 🐸🇧🇷 Brasil

[@寻找世外桃源]

这是无人机还是航空模型啊😂🤣

[@nosondre]

Amazing

[@tomphillips805]

I live close to East Kirkby

[@johnneedy3164]

I've noticed on those large planes a quite a few when they land, turn and fhe wing tips on the ground almost spinning out ,looks not good

[@mickbradley9487]

No way is that the world's largest RC aircraft....that Lancaster in the background looks almost full sized!!

[@EssentialRC]

Is full sized actually...

[@zolatanaffa87]

do not read this comment: I looked again the video and it is clear that the Lancaster is not a model. @@EssentialRC Wow Dom, really? then it was'nt a model?

[@jad67jd]

Amazing.

[@clayz1]

Which component that you could not change the size of drove you to 65% scale? I’m guessing ... THE ENGINE?????

[@simon3824]

He flys all his biplanes 3D style....I would like to see some scale flight for a change!

[@EssentialRC]

...because that would be very interesting to watch!

[@FrankPace54]

If you want to fly like that get a pits This should be flown scale like.

[@johnberner2012]

Simon Hurst I want to see him hover it no more than 3 inches off the ground. Then I will be impressed.

[@simon3824]

Johnathan Berner Me too!

[@chrischiampo7647]

😮😲😮😀😮😮😊😳😊😊😊😀 Wow That’s The Coolest RC Plane I’ve Seen 😀😀😀

[@williamjarvis3473]

Hey dude, why's your right arm so big?

[@ckelley63]

Awesome-

[@giannimoscottorc5441]

Super fokker Nice video

[@stevemichigan541]

What the hell is the motor.

[@thomasimalski7580]

From a Messerschmitt - Cabin - Roller ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Would love to have and fly something like that. I guess it is ok to dream. Lol

[@airbrushingbynick6071]

nice in 4K

[@air-headedaviator1805]

You know considering the size these gasers get to its a wonder why at no stage remote starters are ever used

[@Jimmyzb36]

nice!!! Who paid for this?

[@EssentialRC]

Eh, the owner and pilot.

[@planescars]

Wtf ?! An aerobatic Fokker Dr.1 !!!😆😃

[@zolatanaffa87]

what's the problem? were the planes in dogfights not aerobatics? the first characteristics of fighter planes were maneuverability and power ... exactly like for an acrobatic plane!

[@stuartk.9104]

Is that a titanium lawnmower engine

[@iandaly8786]

You flew her well. All these Triplanes seem to be unwieldy on landing.

[@leeroyholloway4277]

Just about reached back into that prop didn't ya....

[@whome7004]

I was thinking cool see a old biplane in this scale fly around,like flying History. Like the bicycle with the 10ft tall front wheel! But oh no This thing should say REDBULL on the side! It put a sweet show on performance like it's the 2019 version

[@billhuber2964]

DER RED BARON WOULD BE PROUD OF YOU!!!!! YAHVOEL !!!

[@Crazyoldman84]

One had has wonder if an rc pilot is better than an actual pilot. How affective wound it be to man a plane controlled by an rc controller?

[@thecraftking113]

Thats one big fokker

[@Captc5766]

Just get in it!

[@timmorris3056]

Kool plane, get an electric start on it, I'm sure the wings can hold the extra 7 pounds!

[@colgatetoothpaste4865]

Awesome

[@sebastiaolimams981]

Existe um êrro na distância entre as rodas, que deveria ser maior.🇧🇷

[@jocelynetillier8812]

Chapeau!!!faut être pilote pour faire voler ce modèle presque vrai!!!

[@LCMNUNES1962]

VERY GOOD BRASIL OK.

[@danielkeirsteadsr6939]

WOW i got to get that for my Grand son before he gets too big to fit .

[@СергейОсипов-ф9т]

Красавчик!!!!!!!👍👍👍✌

[@airbrushingbynick6071]

A Kawasaki Z1 engine in her would be sweet hey?

[@joolslaloosh]

Tight loops!!!

[@adrianlarkins7259]

Hardly a serious scale model. The finish is anything but correct. For that reason, I would put Snoopy in as the pilot.

[@zolatanaffa87]

Adrian Larkins: Snoopy dreamed of being on his Sopwith Camel!

[@williamfulton2136]

Will it carry small children?

[@EssentialRC]

Yes probably but you would definitely get locked up if you took a small child up in a RC plane and they key would get thrown away !

[@johnhardman3]

Watch out for stowaway "Red Barons"!

[@metalman4141]

Flys like a barn door

[@mikerieck306]

Just like the real one.

[@thatairplaneguy]

Took longer to get it started than to fly it.

[@JDGillis]

I was going to get one of those until I found out the machine guns don't work.

[@JustJohn505]

Dad jokes? Really?

[@FRIENDHORATIO1]

Does he need a FAA drone pilot license for this thing

[@williammielenz3752]

I'd like to see Bad Santa get straffed by his elve.

[@sonofadoy]

"...can't help but wonder what the lift capacity is for this RC AC? I mean, at 65% scale, could a actual person fly in it?" DM

[@Censoredbyfscists]

I've been wondering myself.

[@peteredwards338]

Lost for words.

[@EssentialRC]

And that can only be a good thing. LOL. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)

[@motorTranz]

"That's---in---credible!......."

[@markspc1]

A little bit bigger and you could ride on it !

[@Bob-fz7pd]

Hey Jimmie. Sit right here and hold on!

[@erikhafer1415]

Go one more step and your full size.

[@dennism103]

It took like 50 feet to get off the ground...

[@zolatanaffa87]

and maybe less to land !!! Wonderful!

[@juniorslothsix5562]

So what your saying is I can put a 4 year old in it.

[@maddmavic]

Is it me or does that propeller look awful small for that plane

[@EssentialRC]

It's more about what is best for the engine than what it looks like. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)

[@maddmavic]

@@EssentialRC i ubderstand that but im not pilot or aro physist or engineer.i just assumed the prop has to jave sone length past the nose to push air paat the body n that looks so small like theres very lil sticking past the body diameter if u know what im trying to say. Im a drine person. An my uncle is abig rc plane guy but i have never flown a planem except a dual ducred f18 jet twin 70 mm motors. N that flew about 100 ft maybe an flipped ober n smashed in to the run way lmao now it makes great floatie chunks or the kids in the pool n lake when we go. Who ever thouse a dual use jey was made lmao.

[@maddmavic]

@@EssentialRC i commented tbat before watching the video. The plane has pretty good power with it actually. But would it climb jugher with out the stall so fast if has a bigger prop at all ? Or wouls any size bigger be too much for it. . I do know what you're saying though about size compared to the motor because my drone has dual blade props and I purchase them three bladed carbon fiber props that were a lot bigger and it doesn't like him at all they're too much for it even though there lighter

[@hamzterix]

#skills I think it needs one more wing though. 😜

[@stevevw3385]

Come on you were 65% of the way to a real DR1 you could fly in!

[@richardbrowne1217]

That propeller looks to small.

[@dennism103]

I can't believe it doesn't have retractable landing gear?

[@normandyck7609]

That plane didn’t have retractable landing gear.

[@TheBigO-k6g]

Dennis Morris WOULD NOT BE SCALE DENNIS. THEY DID NOT HAVE RETRACTABLE GEAR ON THOSE PLANES

[@mfcmichael3564]

Sorry but this is not Scale. Too much Power and unreal Flight Figures for a Fokker DR

[@iamgort70]

Are any of these RC people actual 'pilots'? Do they fly real aircraft? Because the money they spend on these toys they could easily get a pilots license for sure and really experience the joy of flight...I don't think you should refer to them as 'pilots' if they aren't real pilots. (sort of like how Americans call chiropractors 'Doctors' when they really aren't M.D.'s..also Dentist!) ..rather just call them 'RC controllers'....and yes I am a qualified flight instructor on fiberglass sailplanes. A person earns the title of 'pilot'...not just because they can fly an RC 'model aircraft' over a paddock. Still, kudos to the builder because that is a nice copy model aircraft of the original.

[@mirekklemens662]

🤔😀😀👍👍

[@timbogodin7476]

You could put a cat in that thing

[@BADALICE]

50 bucks more and you could have bought a real plane.

[@modelman65]

Needs a electric starter

[@jeeplifer]

That's ridiculous, just fly a real one
