2. Nice video of an impressive model. Seeing it in flight, the design suddenly made sense to me, basically a huge flying wing with rough-field capabilities, for use in a vast land with plenty of rough fields. In a happier alternate universe, it would have carried explorers and prospectors to the remotest places.

6. Very nice! You can tell the original was designed by a committee.

7. I give the builder lots of credit for using real-live four stroke combustion engines instead of electric power. If you really want to be good in this hobby you really want to be proficient at tuning glow engines…precisely because they are more challenging that electric power.

9. That is awesome! For anyone who builds RC, we all want to know: how are you steering that beauty? Braking? Very cool build!

10. So much Soviet era stuff makes think of what the Klingons might have been flying during their version of the 20th century.

12. Звук почти как у настоящего самолёта… Мастерство пилотажа автора модели восхищает. А вот "Калинка-малинка" в качестве фоновой музычки реально бесит. Уж лучше вообще никакой музыки, чем такая… Да и если уж так хотелось запускать модель под музыку, можно было найти советские марши 20-30-х годов…

18. Good lord I thought for sure he was going to nose over trying to get up on the runway! 😬

19. They didn't start the 7th engine, I guess that is an electric motor judging on the fact that it is windmilling? HUGE drag!

22. I love the uncommon subjects. Maybe a Burnelli plane someone?

23. Excellent subject and craftsmanship. Also proof that with enough power you can make anything fly.

25. No music needed!

26. What's wrong with that! Anything that gets into the air under its own steam is fine in my book. I like the little servo rudders. 😊

27. Steam punk special!

28. 2:00. The melody of Russian song "Kalinka" starts. Very appropriate. The designer of the plane K-7 was Kalinin.

30. Gonna break some hearts if that beauty/beast ever goes down. That possibility is the only thing that keeps me away from high detail model builds expected to really fly. i HATE to see so much lovely work go to waste.

31. Looks like out of Hayao Miyazaki's mind, for Porco Rosso. Beautiful!
