Let us take you back in time and show you one of the most remarkable airplanes built in the first half of the 20th century. More precisely, in the 1930s. This plane is also known as the Russian Fortress. You are probably guessing which aircraft we are referring to. It is the USSR`s KALININ K 7! However, it is not a real model yet an RC one. Apart from that, it is still amusing to see it in the sky.
This RC model is enormous. It has a wingspread of almost 20 feet! Also there are 6 front engines and 1 back engine that start individually and manually. At the beginning of the video you can see some pictures of this plane during its construction accompanied by Russian music in the background. After that, it is show time! You are going to see how the engines are actually started and hear the tremendous sound they produce! The sound becomes even better when the pilot prepares the RC plane for take-off! This Kalinin K 7 looks great in the air. It is gracious both in the air and on dry land as well.
