YOU DESERVE THE GOLD MEDAL 🥇 FOR MODELERING AND PERFORMANCE, WONDERFUL, GREAT 👍 JOB!!!

Beautiful BIPE . VERY NICE JOB . My compliments to the builder

Once you start building R/C planes that big then you're better off building it full scale, getting your pilots licence and flying the thing from inside it

I've never heard of a "Python" in the Pitts family but, this is one Fine aircraft. A great job piloting. Very realistic!

That is really nice, engine sounds too high pitched but it works nice. Good job 👍👍

LOL, camera person loses sight of one of the biggest model airplanes in the world!!

The guy has a passion for building and RC, that's why he did it. Building a large RC model is a lot less complex than building something that carries a pilot. As for cost, buying a full size Pitts would probably 20+ times more than the cost of this RC model.

do u think it would take off with a kid tied down to it

There are smaller _real_ planes than this... like the SD1 Minisport, or the CriCri. There are even some smaller _real_ jets, like the Bede BD2. This thing is just overkill. If I were to spend this much money building a plane of this size, I'd expect it to be literally pilotable. Some people have too much money.

@DFX2KX

except that in a real aircraft, you often need a pilot's license (the US is unique with it's ultraight category, most other ultralight categories around the world still need licenses), which makes this still more affordable. Also, if it DOES crash, you don't go down with it.

Nice RC. About the size of a baby lakes with 65hp. Lot of work for something you don't get to fly from the cockpit.

What a huge flying toy, great job guys love thiis.

Scratch built on a budget over a long period...so yes, fairly impressive. Some think it's not great because of the relatively low power mico-light engine that he used but it flies scale well enough. No reason why it should have to 3D. Quite an achievement I think.

Great looking plane, and flying.

I'm glad to see it's an actual "giant" RC plane. Usually the poster does tricks with perspectives.

only 15% more needed!! That was amazing

Sounds like a big 2stroke scooter. Great plane.

Beautiful!! Common beginner mistakes - make it small, so it's cheap, and make a simple design, so it's easy to build. You've just built something almost impossible to fly. The right way, start with a design that works, either another model or a real aircraft. Don't make it ultra simple and shoddy, build it like you were going to ride in it. And build it big enough that you nearly could ride in it. Which is easier to balance on you hand, a broomstick, or a walking stick, or 30cm ruler? How about a toothpick or a match? This is not a beginner project, it's an expert toy, but I'll bet you, it'd be easy to fly and heaps of fun.

Amazing

Great job on the Pitts. Guess we're lucky these guys weren't big fans of the 747.

ditch the radio and get in the sum-bitch and fly it! damn!

It’s a MODEL aircraft Bob.

Basically the same size as the Baby Great Lakes (NON-R/C 13' length, 16' wingspan) my ol' man and I built in the garage in the early '70s, in barely over a year, when my father was head of U.S. Army helicopter gunnery instruction... definitely a full-time job (the gunnery instruction AND the aircraft construction; in fact my father ended up in the hospital for an overnight(?) stay due to exhaustion). Built from prints only, no kit... just raw materials. 4130 tubing, Sitka spruce, Dacron... it seemed like each wing rib was made of 50 pieces of wood, counting the gussets : ) I still have a pic of us running a wingless engine test in the front yard (neighbors thought we were CRAZY!), and it looks EXACTLY the same scale as this R/C. Yep, when you build an R/C this big, I have to ask: "Whatsamatta you? Skeered of heights?" : ) kzread.info/dash/bejne/pamu0tWqnJPYdbw.html

awesome…

Very nice - well done. But why is bigger always better?

Mega geil diese grosse , und noch schwer zu steuern, der Seitenwand muss berechnet werden. Aber sonst ein tolles Teil. Gruß Dxxdet0.

very good! big power! wht's the power of engine? for which factory?

With that big of scale, that sucker needs a radial! Not 2-stroke noise! Valach makes a perfect one for this bird.

You're right, it's sounds like a flying Trabant 601. However, it looks good in the air, would certainly be amazing with a radial model engine in front. But then the cost would probably double.

So much effort for such an uninteresting plane!

I like how the announcer calls a perfect three point landing before the three point landing which never happened! Perhaps he misspoke and meant a three bounce landing.

I would have just sold some more lemonade or cookies and add on the extra 15% for full scale.....just saying, Nice plane though.

Put some clear plexi with a dummy pilot inside.(to bad about the 2 cycle snowmobile sound).

I honestly couldn’t tell it was not a real plane!

Really should be a ride on

How hard was the 15%?

Agreed re the commentator - tiresome!! Still a lovely plane build even if over-the-top for scale. Would sound great with a real radial engine. Major logistics getting it to the airfield!!

Cool build!! Looked a bit under powered.

That plane look like you could fit in

Engine sound shold be trimmed to sound like original engine. It is easy task with right exhaust pipe system.

I mean zoom out at 3:17

There's smaller planes flown by pilots sitting inside of them, Cri Cri and SD1-Minisport for example.

Impressive Pitts, though a bit underpowered. And I much prefer a clear canopy and pilot figure.

That thing is as big as the original Pitts.

Rotax engine?

Essential RC maybe not technically RC since it was autonomous but there was this...www.hiller.org/condor.shtml which is an amazing thing especially considering when it flew. No sure if it's the biggest but with a wingspan greater than a 747 it is certainly on the large side. Less fun than this Pitts which is also amazing. Thanks for sharing the video.
