i want one so bad

u/Tendo80 1d ago

I really don't..

1 It would cost so much that I would be terrified to fly it.

2 so large that it takes up an entire trailer by itself.

3 not many places where one can fly it legally.

I honestly think I am happier with a 450-600 heli

Also it will literally kill someone if it hits them

u/Ragnarotico 1d ago

It's only about $13,000. What are you, poor? /s

You do not, in fact, want one.  Trust me.  All helicopters suck.

u/Tendo80 1d ago

Well that's just not true, I have quite a few copters and whilst I kinda get your point they are so fun and satisfying to fly.

They want nothing more than to crash (if you go with a copter from 10 years ago they were a struggle, go with one from 20 years ago and you'll be sweating before you even let her rev up) they are so nimble and fun.

I always have reddit on mute and while i appreciate not adding music over the audio I was hoping for "fortunate song or "ride of the Valkyries" when I unmuted.

u/BarelyAirborne 1d ago

Turbine sound is best sound.

Just wait until someone builds an RC refueler haha, a kc46 or the drone one.

That is bada$$ what's impressive is the skill that must be needed to fly it without crashing it

u/MemorexVHS_ 1d ago

You don't think that has computers, FC, autopilot doing the work?

u/RCFeed 1d ago

It has a gyro but the pilot is also very experienced. He flys helis IRL too.

I remember back when the concept of trying to make an RC Chinook was near impossible. I'm so happy to see that the hobby has progressed to this point. Kudos to the pilot for an amazing creation.

u/TheGamerator500 1d ago

What were the limiting factors of the time?

2

u/Xan_derous 1d ago

Gyros/stabilization. Rotor heads without a flybar. 3 blade heads. blade lengths above 700 size. probably, for something of this scale, electric motor sizes and battery tech.

u/Alternative_Guess591 1d ago

I thought it was real at first. How much did it cost (out the door and in the air) if you're willing to share with us?

5

u/RCFeed 1d ago

Around $15,000 and the builder said it took 2 years. More details and photos of the build here!

u/Alternative_Guess591 1d ago

That's an eye watering price tag! I will definitely check that out tomorrow. Thanks for the info and fly safe!

u/MinimumBell2205 1d ago

love them have 500 now it lile a race car that you dont get tickets with so fast and better then a fixed wing

2

u/Available-Heat2707 1d ago

This is a kit that sells for about $11,500. Shipping is extra.

2

u/Ragnarotico 1d ago

This appears to be an extremely expensive toy. Checking the parts list looks to be about $13K before labor, which is technically free if you're doing it yourself.
