Giant 21ft 'Beardmore Inflexible' Bomber

At 21 ft wingspan this flying RC model replica of the 1928 'Beardmore Inflexible' Bomber is one of the BIGGEST RC aeroplanes you will ever see. It is pulled along by 3 Zenoah 38 engines. Watch its first graceful flight at a public LMA show and highlights of an earlier flight where one wheel was lost on a touch and go! For some pilots that could have spelled disaster but not for John as it he guided it to a nice landing on 2 wheels.

Big flat-bottom wing with plenty of dihedral... should fly like a trainer. 

 

I was in the same situation once... test flying a new model for another bloke, took off and one of the wheels decided to part company.  Managed to land it smoothly on the other one though and kept the other wing up until she'd slowed right down.
