What kind of time machine did you use ?

A project taken too far.

You are a brave builder and a good pilot😊

G'day to you, Wow talk about blast from the Passed. Circa '64/65 back in the UK my Dad bought me a Cox Helldiver for Christmas, I thought Line Control a thing of the Past! Armadale West Australia.

This was the first balsa and tissue plane I ever built when I was 16 and it turned out amazing it flew great on itd maiden and only flew it three times cause I spent a lot of time putting super realistic details on it cause it was for a science project in highschool in physics class for the subject of aerodynamics and we had to build something or a model of something that works that uses aerodynamics and physics to work. So I chose this monster and I converted it to RC instead of control line and it flew amazing it's still hanging in myan cave/hobby building room in my house to this day and I dust it weekly cause it's so beautiful. I eventually put super thin balsa sheets on it and painted it instead of the tissue paper to make it look more realistic model wise and still flew great after paint and sheeting it all in. And I used four of the exact same engines as you used as well cause it's cooler with four and more scale then just two but I also beefed her up and made a stronger spar since I was going with a full RC conversion and the extra weight of twoore engines so it can handle more gs and more sharper turns then it would have if I didn't beef it up and it was fast as heck to but doing the sheets and paint mader her more sturdy and slowed down the roll and response rates a tiny bit but not enough to worry about. I might fly her this weekend at a fly in actually since I saw this video. Everyone loves it when I bring it out the last time it flew four years ago cause how scale it looked and it was one of the best conversions they have seen to RC of this kit ever some said. But I used a model kit in same scale and 3d printed a lot of scale parts to make it as scale as possible. And it's got all nav lights working and even the cockpit the lights and buttons and switches light up and the little screens light up green and the radar screen lights up and looks like it's actually a radar with the line moving and circle and all it was a lot of work with fiber optic wires to get it all working and uv resin to make the screens

Wow!!!! I've built a few, and watched countless hours of video of folks building Guillows models.... This is by far the nicest example that I've ever seen.... Nice job, what a beautiful model!

I hear why the engines are called Bees. 😂

Wow, your cat play well the piano. Amazing build! ; )

Wow! That’s incredible, what a beautiful build. Congrats. I’ve never seen a control line flight.

Horrible music….butchered a good song

Number of those B-17 kits sold: 15,382 Number of those kits successfully flown: 1.

Good Show old man. Good Show.

For a minute I thought this was Paul Walker's CLPA B-17 - I think that one actually won the World Champs one year, it had four OS .15s running off a bladder tank.

I would tune each engine one at a time. Throw a rag into the prop to stop it. Then refill the tanks and start the engine from the outside in (in regards to the circle/line) That way the first engines to run out of fuel will be the outside engines. This way the inside engines will pull to the outside of the circle. I’d fear that if I only had the one or two outside engines running and both engines on the left wing were out that the plane would turn to the inside of the circle and slack the lines.

Awesome!

Last thing I’d expect to see in 2024 is someone building a control line plane again 😂. Been a long long time

well done, especially the cliff hanger 1 engine landing

Brilliant, watching you fly seems to explain how to not get dizzy when flying. And the plane is awesome!

Awesome! It is still amazing with control line airplanes, never stoped loveing it,..<3 cheers

What a nightmare....lol

Loved the slideshow style of the build. Congrats on a very nice model!

Always stat the out board motors first,great job on the model

Absolutely Fantastic!!! Drone of four Baby Bees is a rare blessing!

Music sucks!!! 🙄

Nice work Dan

I’d fall down getting dizzy actually before the plane would hit the ground.

Sorry... just couldn't stand the mash-up of Sweet Child at the start.. I bailed.

WOW!!!! What a super clean build. Just so beautiful. You have a wonderful eye as well as talent.

BRAVO… GREAT JOB❗️

After calculating the time and length of lines. it figures that the plane is flying at about 27 MPH, a nice speed for that model. Won't screw you into the ground.

Watching again. I clocked the flight at 8 seconds per lap. How long are the lines? Back to work on the A-26. Will be a little overpowered, but better than under powered. Am having issues with silkspan. I'm almost done with a Guillows P-51 with an 049. Am using medium weight silkspan and it rips if you just sneeze at it. Got some Ployspan. A little expensive, but it is really tear resistant. Works with paint and dope. How is the acrylic paint holding up to the fuel?

Beautiful plane and flight. I've never seen a four engine control line plane before. Thanks for the video!

Absolutely brilliant. Loved this. Inspiring

Oh I remember those Guillow's kits well. All those balsa stringers, but they produce a beautiful plane. Great job building and flying with 4 cox .049's. That is challenge enough. Hope your leg is doing well.

I used to gaze in awe and wonder at the engine conversion drawings in the Guillows/Sterling/Comet balsa kits and wonder what badass would dare manage to do that- now I know it simply requires being knocked off a pushbike and having a semi-tuned spinet!

I bow down to anyone that can keep 4 cox049s running for any significant period of time

Beautiful!

that was a super job building the plane and the flight. i built many guillows fighter planes as a boy and we had several cox motors in different sizes. great show.

Man, That was just beautiful!! Cox.049s AND C/L! SUPERBLY built and flown. Thank you.

Super cool guys.I do remember!!!! PLEASE AND THANK YOU! 19 trainer plastic. cox 049

the music is great, it sounds like it's a MIDI file being played on a computer that doesn't have enough cpu grunt, lol.

Start each engine, get it adusted, go to the next, and the next, and the next. Let them all run out of fuel- it'll only be half tank if not flying- then refuel and start them all again without touching the needle valves. With engines warm, they should not need any enrichment to restart. Restart outermost engine- #4- first, then #3, then #1, then #2, so that the last engine running when fuel runs out will be close to centerline but still impart an outward turn to keep the lines tight.

I had one of those engines 50 when I was a kid in the 60's.

Awesome build and fly. Beautiful model.

wow, thanks for posting this video, very impressive.

damn annoying music over.....if wanted to hear music i be listening to an audio player....dislike clicked

Bravo pour cette belle forteress B17....plus petite que celle de l'équipe des USA .F2B...pilote Orestes... Le bruit de la petite est d'ailleurs assez semblable sue sur celle d'accro.... très surprenant . Vraiment bravo...!!😎👍👍

I used to play with that stuff when I was a little brat. Now I'm a older brat @ 79 & still interested on fooling with it.

Very nice work, only engines and NO MUSIC! Great video! Thanks!
