Anyone know what the biggest DTFB or FTFB plane is?

[Houndpup Rc]

Maybe this?

 

[Mr Man]

Maybe this?

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s it. Haven’t seen any that are bigger. 👍

 

[Mr Man]

Huuuuuuuugggeee though. (Originally considering breaking the record)

Hmmm, I wonder if we could with our A-10......

 

[Mr Man]

A 200% A-10 is 120”. Not quite the record, but massive….

 

[Houndpup Rc]

300%?...............

 

[Mr Man]

300%?...............

Record breaker. 180in. Record is 168in…

 

[Mr Man]

Idk how you could move it around though😂

Carefully and in pieces with a 16ft box truck

Not sure....Would have to have the wing removable and hope the rest fits thru the basement patio door......Probably will just stick with 10ft for now.

 

[Mr Man]

Good idea, plus better power to weight ratio.

Yeah...Maybe the next one...First I will start by breaking the speed record!

 

[Piotrsko]

Wait.... we're talking flat and level constantly, not after a death dive from some height just through the traps, right?

Yeah...I will try to get a nice level speed run

Thanks for the shout-outs guys! If we're talking "foam" as a general material, then Peter's 30ft plane has me beat. Below that would be my 24ft C-47, which was also foam, but not "foamboard".

If we're restricting the description to Adams-style "foamboard", then - to my knowledge - the B-52 we built at Flite Fest 2019 is the largest. 14ft wingspan, 12.5ft long and ~32lbs.

Thanks for letting me know, Might try to beat the record sometime, with a 6 sheet flying wing…..

CAN a person get/do 20ft spars? Gonna be wobbly at scale sizes, was wobbly even for my Piper Pacer at 38 ft until the fabric was on and struts fitted

Yeah, It’d be wobbly..

 

[Mr Man]

But I probably wouldn’t try to make it 20’ wide, probably more like 15’ (assuming I make it…)

It would make a great video!....maybe a challenge this fall......
