10 STRANGEST Types Of RC Planes

Those control line planes are insane, I want to know what maniac put a Pulse jet on one to make a V1 flying Bomb

The ama for rc planes is like the atf for guns.

yeah great video but could you do more videos about rc autogyros, gyrocopters, and gyroplanes. Please and thankyou.

How many of these are responsible for UAP sightings?

The blimps in the first minute reminded me of a Hydrogen one I saw a bit ago. Curious if that wouldn't be more viable as it seems easier to seal and it does have like 5x the lift factor. Just need to insure no one shoots a flare at it or that the electronics short out.

I've desperately wanted an RC blimp for years. When I was a kid, my local hobbytown had a flight sim set up and I would always set it to the blimp model. I think I just want to be able to use a ton of knobs and dials, and control something that can move really slowly with crazy battery life

Sloap soaring...
Helicopters...

Вне конкуренции, но много вопросов

RC air battles was actually first started in a small town called Monticello in Kentucky many yrs ago. AMA gets the props for it though but it was really some guysb6in Southern Kentucky a long time ago that REALLY got it started.

Control line combat is definitely a sight to see. If you search up control line f2d combat you can see some experts going at it

One thing I've learned watching your channel is to NEVER drink anything while watching one of your videos. I get tired of blowing ice tea out my nose from sudden laughter. It hurts. But, hey, I never miss the crazy here...

hey, uh, is it legal at all on anywhere on the world to put an airsoft gun mechanism inside a 3d printed F-35, asking for a future project

Fun fact about dynamic soarers: there was a USAF project in the '60s for a spaceplane called the X-20 Dynasoar, literally a shorthand of dynamic soarer. Would have basically been a manned reusable spy sat. But, the advent of digital cameras (no need for film return) and budget cuts as Apollo chowed up the available money for space caused the project to be dropped.

no thanks
no need for more videos in the future. k

Need something to lift my straps across my trlr and loads, it’s really difficult to throw a strap and hook up and over 10’ high and 8’ wide load for securing. Hooks are less than 1 lb, and straps are nylon load straps.

I'm a big fan of the superlite indoor Flyers. Always wondered how I could get my hands on a helium airliner

You missed cyclocopters, this is an old idea that was tried (and failed) at the dawn of aviation but has succeeded in RC in recent years. The concept has also been used in tugboat propulsion systems for over a century now where it is known as a Voith Schneider propeller or a water tractor (the thicker fluid and low RPM made it more practical at full scale there). They are basically a set of rotating vanes arranged as a cylinder with cyclically variable angle of angle of attack that can direct thrust 360 degrees perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder.

it's so weird seeing a flock of passenger jets slowly flying around in a room

peter scripol lol

Indoor blimps for indoor sporting events. Blimpview like they used to do at pro football games

I would love to see FPV combat competition

I suddenly MUST HAVE an RC airship...

Correction: control line airplanes do not use 1 line, they use 2 or sometimes even 3 lines! 1 Line would make the plane uncontrollable. 2 Lines give elevator control, which you certainly need. 3 Lines are used in team-racing, where the fuel is limited and you need to refuel every so many rounds. The 3rd line cuts the fuel or rather the air to the motor. A secondant catches the plane in flight, refuels it, starts it and throws it again for the next couple of rounds.
I am into building rc things that can't fly, according to my mates, but do. Flying sharks with the motor inside it's tubular body. Flying chair, VTOL airplanes, auto gyros, twins with differential steering, push-pull speed planes, 4-8 motor LARGE planes, formation flyers (you can get them to fly really well), heavy lifter quadcopters with large grappling hooks, Santa in sled with reindeer, bombers that drop things, advertizing planes with tow, etc., etc. If and when they fly, I'm done and often they end up on the wall, never to be flown again. Only 'real' airplanes I built and regularly fly are my favorite F4U Corsair and the Extra 330 in twin version with diff. steering. And I have a 'bird I like to fly: a condor (8+ft span) cause it attracts a lot of real birds.

The wright brothers seem a lot less impressive now that I’ve seen a noodle fly.

I don't know who the hell they fly those dynamic soaring gliders so fast. I lose track of my tiny whoop if im LoS flying it and can only track my park flyer because I bought a Night Vapor and it glows lol

That last comment about the ama... too real.

"how does this fly, fuckin sorcery i dunno"

Dynamic soaring is just Mario backwards longjumping IRL

4d flight... it's still just 3d....
anti-gravity flight would have even made more sense because at least it's simulating space.
like, space sim people would love that.

Everyone remember that pilot lightning mcqueen? 👀😂😂😂

Very nice production here! That was fun, and I can't believe how many of these were new to me!

I had a friend who scratch-built a P-51 slope glider!
Its wingspan was a little over a foot and it was unstable as hell!
I think he was the only person on the planet who could fly the thing and boy was he ever good at it!
He was one of the best RC pilots I ever met!

fixed wing rc dogfights are cool, but drone combat is lotsa fun too! more crazy maneuvering. they get into many variations of defensive setups and the ways for offense are also very crafty. hooks, ribbon, netting, stuff like that

I want to see dynamic soaring accomplished on flat ground not on a ridge!

Control line simulated combat goes back to the 1950s in the U.S..

Perfect! So much passion in your videos!. Again gents, great content. Y’all always have me excited for the weekend!.

The 4D fliers is what I wanna get into. Been flying for almost 28 years now I’ll be 39 this year. I think it’s time to get into the variable prop 4Ds. Have a lot of 3D foamies but those 4Ds aww man game changer. Would love the giant indoor planes, but I have no where to fly that stuff.

My favorite RC is the one that shoots AGM to terrorists.

Great video - different and mesmerizingly entertaining.

This Video is fire! Thanks THP

Lighter than air RC craft and other slower RC crafts seems a lot more manageable if you have disabilities like reduced dexterity, difficulties with left/right and mental rotation etc. because you will have more time to react. I'm fairly sure I would never be able to fly an RC plane while viewing it from the ground because I would probably forget which way to steer if I'm suddenly in a hurry and end up turning into an obstruction instead of away from one. I'm also terrible at flying even when inside the aircraft in simulator games if the physics is even mildly realistic anyway. I'm only ever able to land with planes that have extremely slow stall speed and whenever the runway is super long or I'm able to land anywhere outside a runway. It's something about steering in 3 axis AND timing when I'm close to the ground that seems impossible to me unless it's very slow.

Strangely I do find helicopters easier to understand and land even in semi-realistic to realistic simulators. Also while I'm terrible at orbital maneuvres in KSP; I'm pretty decent at docking spacecraft; slowly inching forward and adjusting the position without having to worry about gravity really suits me.

We were doing streamer combat 35 years ago
