Now thats a really huge beast!
 Looks quite frightening & not a bit like a toy - in fact it would be scary to see this monster circleing above my house

Pipe,
Very impressive. For some reason, I really like to see the big bombers fly. More complex to build, larger scale wings,...I don't know. The only complaint, I wish you could get something other than the R/C motor sound out the engines. Something more gutteral and realistic. Phil

Very cool.
PIPE, do you have any more info on it? Engines, weight, etc. Perhaps with a couple of 65cc four-strokes we could take care of DGF's concerns  .J

Here's SOME info on the Giant Gotha in the video...
Dear JTisch and Fellow WW I RC Fans:
The PIPE Here again... ...the DIRECT link to that video is at "triple-dub".youtube.com/watch?v=oep3-tE_zvI ... ...so, to get "the backstory" about this biggie, I checked the Yahoo MicroPro/MICROSTAR forum messages from back on Armistice Day (how appropriate) this year, and the person responsible for building the RC Giant Gotha is apparently the Mercer County RC Society's (site at MCRCS Home Page ) president, Keith Zimmerly. His RC Giant Gotha has a 19 ft wingspan, a flying weight of some 50 lbs (about 22 kg???) with a pair of 2.1 cu.in. (35 cm3) displacement two stroker gassers powering it. And, I can HEARTILY agree with you, JTisch...a pair of Saito FG-36 gasser FOUR strokes, and mentioned at Horizon Hobby: FG-36 (220G) with Muffler/Ignition/MM: AK by Saito Engines (SAIEG36), with a video at "triple-dub".youtube.com/watch?v=3YhHx6iizeE of one running on a test stand, would be about the same displacement apiece as the "mentioned" two-strokers, and would be  perfect for it!Also, that club seems to be a hotbed of World War I RC flying activity  these days...one person, who uses the Gordon Anderson MicroStar OWNER-built computer RC radios (at MicroStar Home Page ) with the EXACT same "innards" as my pair of single-stick "knobby" RC radios, in that club will be building up a Giant Scale scratchbuilt Sopwith Pup in 28% size to be flown with their 2.4 GHz "SpredSpec" transmitting MicroStar RC radio.Hope there's enough links there to keep us all interested...the MCRCS homepage has a photo of Keith starting the takeoff roll with his Gotha at the time I'm writing this...! Yours Sincerely, The PIPE !

That is way cool. I had to watch it twice.
Any hopes in it making it to DPR-09? Lloyd...
