Cool is the a kit for sale or just some one made this one @ his home

Does that have a horizontal stabilizer? If not, how did they get it to fly? It doesn't look to me like they increased the outward cant of the vertical stabs (very much).

Even more mystifying--how does that RC Enterprise fly?

[NERV]

i dont even see a prop on the VF-1 so im guessing its an rc jet, and if it actually is and has dual engine its probly has real thrust vectoring for the horizontal satablizing, it sound slike a prop but i dont see it so thats my guess, as for the enterprise, i guess put enough power behind anytihng and itll fly

[buddhafabio]

i was going to gety started this yeay in remote control aircraft. i was going to start out small (wreaking cheap store built ones first) then move up and have a goal to build a f-18 and vf-1 with in 5 years. with the ultamate of my own rc B-52

(dont laugh, i can dream right) but i kinda got hooked on macross toys so i put it off for a while.

waou me want

It looks like they put the prop on the front of the enterprise and made the front disc an airfoil....Im guessing the back section is very light so it does not throw off the center of gravity. I dont see any control surfaces....neat.

As for the VF1...it sounds like a prop...but i dont see it...so maybe a prop or maybe ducted fan....Im guessing aileron/elevators in the wings...probably doesn't even have a movable vertical stab...neat. Thanks Shawn!

Wow!!!! That's soooooo coooool!!!!

No way they used Jets

I once saw a Lockheed starfighter built by a dutch airman

and the thing was HUGE! at least 2m long, using the smallest jetengine

available

and he crashed it on an airshow!

this is definitely prop powered, probably using a prop between the intakes

(or those japanese outdone themselves again and used 2 very mini-props)

and I have reason to believe that it's buit out of foam instead of wood

(which would explain the flying enterprise)

but cool anyhow!

A B-52? You know how much the jets engines will be alone. Better take out a second mortgage.

not a jet, but perhaps a ducted fan...I have a foam ducted fan RC jet that is bigger then that VF1

A B-52 could have many "dummy" nacelles. I mean, most L-1011 models have only the #2 engine functional, the rest are just hollow nacelles. And with how things are, an R/C B-52 with only like 2 or 4 engines would probably have a much better power/weight ratio than the real thing!

I witnessed an r/c jet engine before. The owner had it strapped to a test bench for testing.

It was LOUD! And it really gave a sense of power. The owner said the thrust was about 40 lbs.

No way you can mistake a jet sound for a prop, the sound was pretty incredible.

AWESOME! But...

My video must be coming up incomplete...

I haven't gotten to the part where it transforms...
