RC HIGH SPEED "BIG MONZILLA" TWIN MOTOR 2x16S BATTERIES FLIES 250 MPH

Maiden flight of the unique "BIG MONZILLA" built and flown by Walter Flögel

Wingspan: 1.8m / 70.9"
Length: 2m / 78.8"
Weight: 10.7 kg / 24 pounds
Electric motor: 2xHK4550 300kv on three-blade AG24 L/R
2x controller yge320hv on 16s SLS 5100 speed

The model is designed for speeds in excess of 300 mph. The speed on the first flight was almost 250mph (still flown throttled).

The wing, elevator and rudder are from the HJK Big Monster and have been reinforced with double CFRP. The fuselage is a custom construction.

The other day I sat next to a woman who has a profound fear of flying. I wanted to comfort her, so I said, "Don't worry, we're not gonna' crash. Statistically, we got a better chance of being bitten by a shark." Then I showed her the scar on my elbow from a shark attack. I said, "I got this when my plane went down off of Florida." - Dennis Regan

It looks neat, still amazing this isn't half of the record speed for dynamic soaring unpowered gliders

Speaking of RC, I ran across this the other day. Various versions have been flying for a few years, so many of you may have seen it.

I thought I'd seen that before. That video is nearly 7 years old....

Yes, and that isn't the only model that's flown the last few years. I've seen ones that didn't use leg movement for elevator control, ones with much less detail, etc. I didn't bother to look and see if it was the same modeler or different people's renditions.
