Tyler Perry’s 1st flight of Ramy RC’s Giant 149KG XXL C-17 Globemaster at Airliner Meeting 2024. Tyler flies in less than ideal conditions on the first day of the Airliner Meeting Show. There was a 15mph cross wind but that didn’t stop him from getting this big quad EDF powered jet into the air.

This unique EDF jet was constructed by Ramy RC in Atlanta, United States and shipped to Oppingen, Germany just for this event. It weights 149KG and is powered by 4 200mm EDFs running on 14S. The maximum pack capacity used per EDF is 17000mah. Wingspan is 6.4 meters (21 ft), length is 6.35 meters (20.9 ft).
This model airple has phantastic flight characteristics, due to its size the model flies stable and is absolutely easy to handle. In the sky, it is nearly indistinguishable to the real airliner. On the ground, however, it becomes evident the plane is 6.35m long with a wingspan of 6.40m.

The C-17 is based upon the YC-15, a smaller prototype airlifter designed during the 1970s. It was designed to replace the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter, and also fulfill some of the duties of the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy. Compared to the YC-15, the redesigned airlifter differed in having swept wings, increased size, and more powerful engines.
