Today on the 23rd August 2011 6am, Dubai skies were witness to the
largest RC airplane in the middle east. Today was the test flight of
this 55% YAK. This ARF comes from PILOT RC, and was built by UAE's most
seasoned aeromodeller Mr. Buti Swaidan.
Mr. Buti Swaidan test
flew this first of its kind and size bird in the region. The airplane
has a ZDZ 400CC engine, it had full redundancy systems, MKS servos, and
Mr. Buti masterfully did many modifications to the airplane, and its
engine.
The entire RC community of UAE is extremely proud of this
endeavor. This is our little tribute to the RC communities around the
world. With limited sources and self taught skill we have come this far.
It was a truly proud moment for all of us in the UAE.
For all of
you who would like to know more about this airplane, or have any other
queries regarding big airplanes. Please feel free to contact Mr. Buti
through www.desertwings.co
We would also take this opportunity to
all of you RC enthusiasts to come to Dubai, enjoy a great holiday and
fly with us. Just know that unlike most parts of the world, we build in
summers, and fly through out the winter. We welcome new hobbyists, and
encourage more and more people to join us in this extremely exhilarating
sport. Soon the Dubai field will be witness to large scale war birds as
well, and we will definitely post that video here as well.
