RE: Flying in Plane....
 

if it were just a little bigger, (god forbid) i would voultenteer to test it from inside! who's is that anyway?

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

I remember seeing that same photo on RCU a few months back. I think it was from Italy, for sale if I recall.

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

Yes it is from Italy, NO it is not mine lol i wish though!! I saw it in one of these forums... it would be cool to fly in an RC Plane though.. yes its RC

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

It looks like a c-47

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

I am a newbie and thus don't know much about the payload capacities of RC airplanes. How much can most carry? Do you guyz think that plane could really get off the ground with a little kid in it? If so, i volunteer my little brother :D

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

good point. why don't we both make big planes so we can send our little brothers off out into the great wide open! peace and quiet;) however, i am prety sure that is a dc-10. those are one of the most recognisable planes still today. by the way, as far as i am concerned, the payload capacity is only as high as it's power. if you put big enough engines on a comfortable armchair, it would fly.

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

Dennis-C-47, DC-3 are the same plane. The C-47 was just a DC-3 put to use by the military during WWII.

In other words, there's no way to tell which it is until it's been covered, or painted. ;)

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

Either way it isn't a dc 10

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

It's got to be a C-47 No windows for the little brothers to look out of.

Dauntae

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

on the powerflight web site i saw a 75% extra[X(] it had a batt on each super giant scale servo

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

Good point Dauntae!
Dennis-

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

Sure guys, I would imagine your little bros would volunteer, but seeing how you guys fly, no thanks, hehehehehe

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

Man, that thing is gorgous. What a project. Would love to be the test pilot on that.

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

good point. no windows. must be a military dc-10. maybe a supply or a para-jump ship

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

Spaceclam, go to this link. It is a pic of a C47. It looks nothing like a DC 10.

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

i'm an idiot. i meant dc-3. i get them mixed up sometimes. the dc-10 is a jet. however, the c-47 and the dc-10 look pretty much identical. are they the same plane with a different name?

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

Yes the dc 3 and c 47 are the same plane just as Dennis said. You are right about it being a paratroop plane. I was in the 82nd airborne division and a few of my buddies got an opportunity to jump from a C47 at pope afb. We all jumped from C-130's or C-141's. Every year pope would put on an airshow and part of the show was a nostalgic jump from the C47 by a few paratroopers in the 82nd. I can remember them asking for volunteers for the weekend jump but I had my fill with jumping and didn't volunteer. I wish now that I had.

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

someday when i have enough money i want to buy a used extra or sukhoi (full scale) and make it rc. put a couple of those giant scale servos on each surface, and have a mount for the tx inside so i can fly it over to an airfield, get out, show it off as an rc plane, fly it, bring it back in, fuel it up, get in, fly it out. raptor, what is the web address for the powerflight website? i want ot see this thing

RE: Flying in Plane....
 

Spaceclam, if there isn't enough room for both you and the transmitter, I could take you up. I haven't soloed yet but I have sim time. What do ya say?:D
