Giant RC Nieuport 28 WW1 biplane | LMA Elvington Show 2024

Giant RC Nieuport 28 WW1 biplane | LMA Elvington Show 2024
The model was developed as a consequence of being offered the Weslake 342cc engine for an irresistible price. The engine had been used on a target drone, but was in reasonably good condition. The model took two years to complete. The test programme was completed just in time for the plane’s first outing at La Ferte-Alais in July 1998.

The model was designed using profile drawings from the Windsock Journal and the Windsock Datafile on the N28.

Scale: 50%
Wingspan: 4m
Engine: Weslake 342cc twin
Weight: 120 lb

I built my 50% laser for the same reason. I found a 3W 342cc engine for a steal on ebay. Its very similar to the Weslake 342. These big engines are powerhouses!

Great Video, thx for sharing. Unfortunately some guys will never learn to avoid to "dance " around of a running prop.

[timtam]

Jesus, the prop would have taken his head off had the plane lunged forward

[dimitristripakis]

This is ab-so-lut-ely what RC modelling means to me. I would so much like to be a part of such a club. Well done, it was a pleasure to watch.

[Thespian-wpxq]

Wonderful.
Almost as if it couldn't wait to get airborne.

[leifbech]

Wonderful airplane, but again to those events some annoying announcer thinks he is there so he can talk and talk all the time instead of letting people enjoy the planes and engine sounds!

[johnnichol]

Love the take off, or should that the way it just floats off the ground.

[dallshaw]

Beautiful bird. Are you new to flying?

[gpaull]

Beautiful. Nicely flown, especially for the conditions. It’s disappointing when these birds are flown at full throttle the whole flight like a WW2 fighter.

[rezzer]

Jump starts propeller with hands; bends down with head now mere inches from it.

[miket]

I couldn’t see any ailerons……did the Nieuport not have ailerons?

[anurasilva]

I have a big puzzle. Where is the Bernulli shape of this aircraft wings?. But it flys very well🙃

[starlitnews]

Remind me of the famous Biggles epsodes
