Default The biggest SR-71 jet model on earth!!!

Gilad Olinki did a great job building this non standard model.
Looking for the maiden in the near future with 2x BF300 as power plant (will run on diesel).
At the following site the photos can tell the story of this crazy bird from the first beginning since the drawing stage at the year 2009 (sorry, the site is in Hebrew):
http://www.scalerc-il.com/ScaleRCForum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3068&PN=1&TPN=1

For the few that can't read Hebrew
this was in the RCU at 2010:

Will update you guys after the first flight…

All the best!

Hello Isaac and Roland, very happy to hear from you guys!
Good question Olnico, the transportation is the big issue... Gilad made a special platform to carry the bird to the flying field (2 hours driving).

Absolutely. Best possible choice for a complex model like this.
Make sure you guys read my advanced Gizmo user manual for optimal antenna placement and advanced range testing procedures.

Spectacular! That should fly like a dream, the bigger the better they fly. Must be quite a trick to check the correct CofG, Happy flying, J.

In the download section of the Gizmo product page.
http://www.ultimate-jets.net/collect...c-gizmo-series

You have the receiver manual in revision 4 and the Gigacontrol manual in revision 1. Beware that these documents are almost 200 pages altogether.
Also for info, I am the Middle-East distributor for the product. I have a pretty comprehensive stock in Dubai.

Better let the IAF know before you fly it otherwise it will become a very nice practice target for Baraks and Soufas.

Awesome model Zeev!
