It broke my heart after several failed attempts but I didn’t lose spirit so I tried and tried until I was finally able to make it fly. The video below is the third time I was able to successfully fly the Dickie-Spielzeug RC Jumbo 747 with DHL markings. The first two flights I wasn’t able to video. Too bad as these first two flights took almost 2 minutes in the air - about 4 times longer than the flight shown in the video.
The video below shows the plane flying in a circle for 30 seconds. The battery was so weak after that. Sorry, if the plane looks too small in the video. I’ll try to shoot a better video next time.
Here’s a photo so you can get a better idea of how it looks.
As you can see, it is better to launch the plane from an elevated ground as it needs some room to generate enough lift to carry it. The usual tendency is that the plane dives to a point of almost crashing before finally having lift. But as soon as it gets airborne, flying it is pretty easy.
After quite some time on the net, I realized that the same product is being sold under Estes-Cox as well. All I can say is that flying RC Airplanes is so much fun I think I’m starting to get addicted to it.
