Re: BIG RC PT-17 video & HUGE RC Planes vids & Talk I sincerely appreciate the time, money, and effort involved to put a bird like these in the air; it's way beyond me. What an impressive result. I can't imagine the thrill of flying a near-true scale aircraft, especially a PT-17 which is one of my all-time favorites. Then again, I doubt it would fit into my Mazda 3 hatchback...

Here is a neat picture of a couple of real Stearmans for comparison. Other than a few small little details, this big model sure does look realistic. Sounds nice too  Whoever built that baby should be proud of the job they did!!

Re: BIG RC PT-17 video Atleast he's got a pilot, I see so many nice scale models flying around without anyone in the cockpits  Maybe the student took the aircraft without telling his instructor, that's a possibility  I take it that the engine in that model is the Moki 400  Bill |

Re: BIG RC PT-17 video Other than the pilot, you would swear you were watching the real thing. Isn't that what "modeling" means? All those twitchy things that just abuse the atmosphere shouldn't be classed as "model" aircraft. They should be under a different heading, "novelty" flying machines, Hybred heli's, Radical projectiles or something similar!

 Actually, that is a minor little pet peeve of mine. The number of models I have seen that the pilot is in the wrong seat is just stupid. If you are going to go to all the trouble of building a nice scale model and dress it up nicely, at least spen a couple minutes on the 'net and find out which seat the full size is flown from Aside from that, it is a pretty incredible airplane!! |

In a PT-17, student flys front seat and PIC/instructor flys rear seat. This guy's "pilot" is in the front! |
