Nice builds. I would also want to build these type of planes but carbon fiber is not available here in Pakistan. Would try to build a smaller version using thermocol
Ramy, it’s been great following your journey with all your builds! Thank you for all your contributions and innovations to the aviation hobby community!
Dear Ramy ; you have respect for your gigantic projects. very big , very expensive, and totally crazy. But you should take care of your health and stricty use a gas mask during the work with such a lot of Expoxy resin . This is toxic for your lung an liver.
As impressive as all these builds are. The environment you are building these planes in is incredible. Perry is a serious RC hobbyist and having you build these in his home hangar/shop must be a delight to work in. Such a clean and bright shop and BIG! No expense spared in this mans hobby.
@@MatthewNovoselskiy You may not have seen many of the past videos, but, TP has scaled down, as much as he is now scaling up(number vs size). I don't think that him being a (and lets correct this) billionaire, really has anything to do with it. He is being a great host to his builder, and they both really seem to appreciate eachother. At least, from the videos I've seen. I've seen "thousandaires" have some amazing shops to work in.
@@BrittMac422 I have a hard time believing a person making less than $200k/ year would be able to afford this shop, I don’t mean any hate at all, I’m just saying the reason the shop is so professional is cause he has a bit of money 🤷♂️
This is absolutely insane, I love it! There is just one thing I would like to mention: I noticed that you use regular Servo wire. Please remembar that at this lenght, regular servo wire has a significant resistance and thus voltage drop. Example: If you use 6m of wire to your Elevator Servos, a regular 0,25mm2 wire will have a voltage drop of 0,8V at 1A and 2,5V at 3A. On such a big model, you don't want the voltage at the servo to drop 2,5V.
This would be the perfect size for a solar plane build! Make it fully autonomous and able to complete 7day missions no landing just filming beautiful scenery.
@@judd_s5643 sure there is it's all carbon fiber and once it's in the air the wings provide massive lift the engines would just be idling to keep it cruising level flight. The wings the tail the fuselage can easily support enough surface area and watts to keep two large EDF running to keep it flying continuous. Having watched him fly his biggest planes there is barely any throttle used after it takes off.
This is changing the world of RC airplanes and helping other people realize this is possible (on probably a way smaller scale for most). This is just badass. Can’t wait to see it fly! With stabilization it’s going to look 100% real with how light and slow it may fly.
you have got to add the rear cargo door. this would look awesome and could be paired with an rc tank etc for rapid deployment demonstrations or if you added a motor and belt inside you could even parachute trucks out of it.
A M A Z I N G!!! But at that size you could make hidden rudder, elevator and aileron controls. Just have them hinged at the ends and put the servos inside the fuselage and wings!??
@egatycasi Why, what's wrong with what they are building? I'm sure they will follow All the nessisary regulations and safety protocols when they fly it. Not to mention if they fly it at Tyler's private airfield it seems to be pretty remote.
@egatycasi I never said anything like that. I said I'm sure they will follow the regulations and safety protocols which are set by the AMA AND FAA. I'm fully certified by both entities. You are very presumptuous.
@egatycasi Unconstrained? I think you'll find that they're very much constrained. Both by the absolutely prohibitive price of models like this, and also by law.
Hi Ramy. A couple of questions: 1) Do you install counterweights on the leading edge of the rudder to reduce the load on the servo? 2) Have you tried a "washer" roller when laying up fibreglass? (row of alternate large washer, small spacer washer on a roller bar). Helps eliminate air pockets. Hope your next aircraft is a 1:1 Europa...
As usual with your work, I am totally impressed. But I am a little concerned about control surface flutter and possible structural issues. This plane is going to see serious loading which appears in some parts to rely on a relatively thin layer of foam. And control servo redundancy sounds like a good idea. I have too much experience with major failures in all those areas and my models are much smaller and less expensive (or dangerous).
Ramy, great series. As usual, you show subsequent stages in a very interesting way. Good pacing and editing. BTW. I have a very important question - have you already agreed on who will make the maiden flight of this giant???
Been following for a long time now and I really appreciate the attention to detail. I did notice one thing though… I know the C17 very well after working on it for 9 years and it has a double hinged split rudder. I know it would be very hard to incorporate that some how but it is a very distinct feature of the aircraft. Anyways keep up the great work and keep the videos coming!!
OMG. You’ve hit the jackpot this time Ramy. I’ve always thought about making an rc plane you could lay in to fly and here you are making one that size.looks amazing. Wish I was lucky enough to be working along side you. Keep it going, can’t wait to see the maiden.
If you want to ride in an airplane, there's no reason for it to be RC. Hire an instructor and jump into a Cessna. After that, you'll be much less interested in it being radio controlled.
Ramy i have an question who is the owner of this c17 and i have another question when you are the owner how do you transport this to europe and do you still fly the boeing triple 7x
Just out of curiosity.... what is the challenge when building big models vs small models? Seems to be mostly a question of money (translating into more time, materials, equipment, space for building/flying/storage, etc).
Quick question -- the elevators hinges are just beneath the carbon fiber skin, but is the carbon fiber directly glued to the foam? (is there enforcing material around the hinges?) I wonder if the skin might detach from the foam core
Awesome airplane! I worked for McDonnell Douglass/Boeing planning, manufacturing and testing the C-17 from 1987 through 2014. Do you have any plans to put the strakes on the lower third of the aft fuselage?
hey ramy. I personally really liked the cut of your tail control surface. I have been wondering for a long time how we can use the control surface without the hinge. thanks for this, waiting for your next videos. greetings from India
Really cool watching your videos the past couple of years and seeing how much and how fast you have progressed. I see you are using carbon fiber over foam (I suppose?). The first time I saw that was six or seven years ago. I watched some videos that showed Lamborghini using it in their manufacturing process of unusually shaped parts. They used some kind of hot wire candc machine looking thing to produce the shapes and covered them in carbon fiber like you are doing. I've always wanted to try it, but at least I can see it being done here.
Amazing! I'm nowhere close to any of your builds but it's a very inspiring journey following you. I've been with you since a long time now and wow. Just wow... 😁👌 Très bien!
NOT SURE ANYONE IS DOING IT AS GOOD/BIG AS YOU GUYS....... I STILL AM AMAZED AT MR. PERRYS DEPTH OF PASSION... for the hobby....... Its obvious he's got that passion and desire in other areas....
This is super cool but a C-5 Galaxy would have been better. Someone has already done a big C-17. Someone on UA-cam is actually restoring it as we speak.
What an amazing built! I'm very hyped how it will turn out. It would be awesome if you could design and build an actual mechanical thrust reverser (maybe for a future Global 7500?). I suppose, this beast won't have EDF but turbo jets? Greetings from Germany 👍🏻
You should have tried to flap arms at the beggining of the video with the fuselage on your head, a new bird is born :) Awesome job, this will be massive
Im guessing you'll be calling Guinness out to present the cert of record.......certainly its breaking some record somewhere. Also........... I'm thinking this deserves a full MOVIE and the C-17 is actually a movie prop...... no prop intended...lol
REALLY SICK PLANE AND PROJECT. I saw it and... I have to say that it's amazing. I hope you can finish the plane and actually fly it. I can't enjoy rc planes because of european laws :/
Very cool and beautiful airplanes.I would love to see you guys build a LOKEE MARTIN stealth plane from the movie TOPGUN MAVERICK It would be a awesome challenge for you guys. Awesome work and keep up and thank you for the work you do and I love it 😁
I can't wait to see this baby fly ... need a top pro on radio ... also a great checklist for preflight ... most important great batteries ... this will turn heads no doubt ... ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 ....
When is the Aft Ramp and Split Rudder getting installed, can't wait to see the landing gear. they will be very complex. Id like to see a Ramy RC C-5 Galaxy with Front Visor, Aft Ramp , and rotating and fully retracting main gear bogies. Mr. Perry needs that for his collection.
Why didnt you put rudder linkage perpendicular to the rudder hinge line? In my experience it creates way less binding at the extremities of the servo/surface deflection since the rudder control horns arent swinging in an arc along two axis’.
This is really impressive!!! One Question please: How you done the Design and the calculation of structurally strength for this Plane in this size? Do it by your self or a Engineer? Greets from Austria
I saw a giant c-17 from 20 years ago that weighed over 300lbs. A gentleman wants to restore it, but he had to get a special FAA permit because it’s so heavy… How much is this plane going to weigh? And do you have to get a special license to fly because it’s so big
@ramyRC arn't you doing two servos on each controlsurface for redundancy what if one fails because of the high load of force on these areas. greez ;-) (sry for my bad enlish)
Can anyone help me to edit the model I bought from turbosquid, its in stl and obj format but I can't edit it as its the mesh. Any help will be greatly appreciated as models were expensive and cant do anything with them.
Ramy, respect! Keeping fingers. But about surface quality - you need to prepare foam surface perfectly before applying carbon or glass. Use some light putty. Because every mistake on foam will copy to final surface. As you can see .... harder glue lines etc. Perfect prepared foam surface will save a lot of weight because less epoxy can be used.
Wings next!
After a long time
Mind measuring the wingspan in full build?
Nice builds. I would also want to build these type of planes but carbon fiber is not available here in Pakistan. Would try to build a smaller version using thermocol
When 😢
Will be interested to see how you tackle the flap hinges, they were a pain on my C17. Great progress so far!

this is hilarious and genius at the same time, cant stop laughing and enjoying :D

Thank you Tyler and Ramy for these great videos. Love what you both are doing for the hobby.

Impossible !!! There is not enough surface area to run the motors to keep this large plane in the air!!

Thats freakishly awesome :)
Never been this early. So exciting.
Surprised you guys didn't split the rudder like the full scale as this reduces YAW induced roll

Amazing work again 👍👍👍 do you fly it in Germany, too?
Looking very good so far! I hope you will do something special with it such as a movable ramp or something (so that you can drop a load, for example)
I prefer more realistic engine,take example of the dst tf 200,if only they could be mounted on the wings,it will be a work of art!!

Where is the "evidence" that the RC industry needs more oversight?
@egatycasi
Unconstrained?
I think you'll find that they're very much constrained. Both by the absolutely prohibitive price of models like this, and also by law.
Now imagine Ramy accidentally spills glue between two fuselage parts and spends the remainder of his life inside the plane 💀
wow! I can't wait to see it fly. BRILLIANT

They say that there is a fine line between genius and madness. I think personally you are just a mad genius! I can't wait to see more.
I want to make a plane, but I don't have the electronic tools 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Quick question -- the elevators hinges are just beneath the carbon fiber skin, but is the carbon fiber directly glued to the foam? (is there enforcing material around the hinges?) I wonder if the skin might detach from the foam core

I honestly think an engine would be nice for this one. 😮
You could litelary fly in it at this point
i will be pissed if this thing doesn't get turbines

Ramy...How do you keep the carbon fiber from blocking your transmitter/receiver signals? Do you mount antennas externally?
That isn't any big deal. I build a Gentle Lady glider once. 🤣 I can't even imagine building something like that or the A350 - just spectacular!!!
Amazing build Ramy.
But please... pushrods need to be perpendicular to hinge line.

Hi Ramy, great build 👍 What weight of carbon cloth have you used on the horizontal stabiliser?
Awesome definitely looking forward. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
at this point Ramy should just start his own commercial airplane manufacturing factory.. Airbus, Boeing move out of the way
Is that Tyler Perry in the background
How much does one of the horizontal stabilizers weigh? By the look of how you were moving them around they look around 5-10 lbs.
Amazing? Why don't you build a KC-390 as your next project??
@ramyRC arn't you doing two servos on each controlsurface for redundancy
what if one fails because of the high load of force on these areas.
greez ;-)
(sry for my bad enlish)
Hello Ramy, good job, but why didn't you do the vertical fin detachable ? Easier to transport !
So nobody noticed Tyler Perry casually filming on his phone?! 😂😂😂😂

This thing is bigger than a full size fls microjet. It should carry a human with a loaded backpack
questions: those kevlar hinges, is the kevlar laid down 0:90 or on the bias? why do you never vac bag, especially the wings and tail?
FAA has 100lbs limit I guess, it'll prolly need to pass FAA air worthinessinspection... please some more on this.
Please Hindi video
Why don’t you use a vacuum press when making the horizontal stabilizers?
Can anyone help me to edit the model I bought from turbosquid, its in stl and obj format but I can't edit it as its the mesh. Any help will be greatly appreciated as models were expensive and cant do anything with them.
amazing that you can cut through the carbon-fiber and not cut the kevlar hinge material, clumsy me I would not try that myself !!!
Maybe you would be interested in Hornitpilot's (B-1 Bob) Giant B-1B Bomber.

Because every mistake on foam will copy to final surface. As you can see .... harder glue lines etc. Perfect prepared foam surface will save a lot of weight because less epoxy can be used.
Clearly Tyler needs a bigger workshop/hanger for a project like this when you can’t stand a tail section up without hitting other planes.
I will not be surprised if he tries to fly it while he is inside. Who knows? Maybe the wings could have enough lift to carry him.
