karingka Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 wow! Does it actually use mini turbine engines? Quote
Goran_M Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Posted May 21, 2012 Taken from the youtube description.First flight of Wilfried Wolterinck's scratchbuilt Boeing 747-200 in 1994. The plane is powered by four Ducted Fans using 15 cc glow engines. Span 3.7 meters, length 4.4 meters, weight 32 kilogramms.Here's the actual video... Quote
philipp Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Wow! It needs almost the same runway size as the real thing.But the sound is annoying. Reminds me of those idiots driving scooters with extra-loud mufflers... Quote
Goran_M Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Posted May 22, 2012 Definitely needs a lot more "rumble" in the engines. Quote
ruyjo Posted May 27, 2012 Report Posted May 27, 2012 I hope there was a bell ringing in their heads to change the sound of the engines somewhere between 1994 and now, haha Apart from that, I still would love to have this rc model. Quote
Ryan M. Posted May 27, 2012 Report Posted May 27, 2012 The price tag of this thing would have to be huge! Quote
