You have to see it to believe it: in this terrific video, an RC Buran space shuttle flies from the back of an 11.5-foot-span RC Antonov An-225! Hans Bühr designed and built both of these electric models (and the An-225 has been flying since the mid ’90s!). Thanks to RCHeliJet for the amazing video he captured at the Hausen a. Albis Flightday in Switzerland this fall.
RC Space Shuttle Gets a Lift
The Space Shuttle-ski! Very cool modeling.
Very cool video!! Unlike the large aircraft which both Debra and Gerry seem to love, this was much more interesting from a technical and piloting standpoint. And all electric!!
Pilots, be patient and let planes roll to a near stop before turning. No full scale plane does that.
Incredible. Amazing models. The engineering for the retracts of all those wheels must be quite something.
It’s all good
Great! A real master of R/C. Love it. Harry J
