July 18, 20214 yr Wow, one of the major show stoppers for me in Scale R/C has been the total disproportion between the models and the speeds they achieve. This one looks amazingly realistic - makes me think it is made of really light material ( maybe a blip-like fuselage ? ). Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
July 18, 20214 yr I made a fancy RC model as a kid, but was afraid to fly and wreck it. So I went and bought a flew cheap and quick models to fly instead. I would be afraid of the hours of work lost if crashing that Globemaster. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.
July 18, 20214 yr If you've ever flown in one you'd know why they called it 'Old Shakey'. It was a miserable airplane to fly in as a passenger. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
July 18, 20214 yr The Air Museum at McChord AFB contains a well preserved example of a C-124. Apparently they were a handful flying. This example lost an engine on final but landed safely. I always enjoyed hearing one fly over because of the distinctive sound the 4360s made. James M Driskell, Maj USMC (Ret)
July 18, 20214 yr Moderator Electric engines? Sure sounds like 'em. I agree that the rather sedate speed of this model was much more to scale than 99+% of other scale models I've seen. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
July 18, 20214 yr Did any of you notice the UFO starting at about 3:05 in the video? It moved from left to right across the screen. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
