Very graceful flying plane. Proof that a decent model, can be made from only, what comes in the box. If you can remove her habit of taking a bow after every flight. The Cute Girl would be a lovely choice for a relaxed time at the flying field.
Just beautiful mate, she looks fun to fly for sure and looks great in the air. For a moment there, you should have been getting a stern warning from the traffic collision alert system! Great job my friend 👍
Fantastic! Its these videos that let us all see that it is possible to build and fly beautiful models. The on-board camera views are really great. Thank you for sharing!
Flawless maiden Cliff. She;s an nice little flyer :-). I would have liked to see more about the electronics, motor, receiver, servos etc. That rear facing camera view is a very interesting perspective, watching the control surfaces do their job is quite hypnotic.
The sun was supposed to be out but we were just on the edge of the cloudbank, it makes such a difference to a video, nice further west though, cheers Micheal 👍
You're not wrong there Mick, I like to cover the whole project if I can but the videos would take forever to film and edit so the build videos are more of an overview. Whatever I leave out is the bit that viewers want to know more detail on, but that's what the comments section is for, and thanks for your kind words 👍🙂
Looks like a real smooth flyer. It seems to have lots of lift. It handled the extra weight of the camera no problem. if you had a forward-facing camera with a transmitter, you could stream the video to your phone or tablet and fly it from the "cockpit" in real time while still on the ground.
Hi Squid, yes, she's a smoothy all right. It could easily take more weight, I'll get into fpv one day but not with this bird, she's currently for sale, cheers.
Hi CC, thank you, it's a lovely site, just don't hit the power lines or go down in the lane. Best part is the great camaraderie plus it's only a 10 minute drive from home 👍
Great flight Cliff and just at my sort of slow flying speed!! Plus she manoeuvres extremely well just on rudder and elevator only, many thanks for sharing and best wishes from Alan in South Yorkshire 🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏👍👍👍
Wow, she flies really well, even in that strong wind. Nice color scheme, looks great. I enjoyed the build videos, lots of good information, and you're quite the craftsman. Thanks, Cliff.
Hi Mike, thanks for the compliment, I'm average really. The model handled the wind surprisingly well but I flew her yesterday, wow,blue skies and much calmer, video to follow soon 🙂👍
Brilliant Cliff, from a kit to flight 👍🏻. I recon the landing gear pushed forward would defiantly help the landing tip. She flew brilliantly, very floaty. Do you add rudder to your aileron mix?
Thanks Chris, you can mix rudder in for coordinated turns but I prefer to do it manually most of the time. Actually this model doesn't have ailerons to mix, they're just pieces of red to jolly the wing up (and to hide a covering boo boo but don't tell anyone) 😁👍
These vintage-style designs did have short noses Stephen, I guess for the huge lump of diesel engine in the nose, we have motors and batteries of course. With a different design of undercarriage (similar to the Atom for instance) the battery could have been further forward, negating the need for all the lead in the nose!
Hi Timo, the cg on the plan at 55mm back from the leading edge was ok, if you're in doubt take it to 50mm back from the leading edge, she's a very gentle flyer, cheers.👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes thanks for your Quick answer, I am a experienced Pilot so i make the CG at 55 mm. many Happy Langings and a great Weekend. Greetings from Germany Timo
spectacular Maiden and flight Cliff, Cute Girl sure looks like a great flyer, well done Cliff, Amazing, Jeff in LA USA
Cheers Jeff, sometimes a relaxing flight is all that's needed although I followed it up with a flight from my aerobatic ship 😁👍
Right hand down a bit as Leslie Phillips used to say. A very confident maiden flight Cliff. Excellent.
Thanks Rob, the plane did the work, I just twiddled the sticks 😁👍
Well done Cliff ! Beauty
Cheers Dom, make for an exciting cockpit fpv 😁👍

Thanks Koala, I've now bent the landing gear with a more forward slant which should improve things somewhat 👍
WOW wounderfull build Cliff with a yard like that you should make a life size .
Always nice to learn from you Man.
Thanks Andre, you're right, you could probably get a small plane into our field quite well 👍
Just beautiful mate, she looks fun to fly for sure and looks great in the air. For a moment there, you should have been getting a stern warning from the traffic collision alert system! Great job my friend 👍
Watching the video back Jerry I got to thinking what a great view to have a streamer cutting contest, thanks
Very nice Cliff. That old saying. If it looks right it will fly right. And it did. 👍
They do say that don't they Terry, certainly right in this case 👍

Hi Tim, thanks, all the electronics are in Part 3 of 3, you must have missed it, here you go: ruclips.net/video/Z1VEtGto2ig/видео.html 👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes blink or you miss it - I guess I blinked :-).
Great maiden! 5 loops in a row!! Nice flying 😁
Hi Mike, I tried a roll yesterday afternoon, you need a lot of height and strong rubber bands 😁😁
You have a winner there Cliff no dramas 😎
Thanks Bob, it makes a change not to have a drama for a maiden 😁👍
Nice maiden and nicely built traditional 3 channel Balsa wood model, Great Job 😄👍
Thanks Ian, a good plane to start a session with 👍
Very nice Cliff
Looks like winter is headed your way
Hope you get a few more flys in
Thankyou all the best

Its always so very satisfying to see the end result of a project that you completed hands on other than buying of the shelf. very nice indeed.

Great job on the build and video, Cliff
Thank you David, it was a fun project 🙂

Hi Alan, thank you, I guess loads of dihedral gives the rudder authority, an all good performer really 👍
Great little model. Well done.
Thanks Bob 🙂
Cool bird Nice build Nice flying Cliff 🔥👍✌️
Thanks Erric, she surprised me actually 😁
Wow, she flies really well, even in that strong wind. Nice color scheme, looks great. I enjoyed the build videos, lots of good information, and you're quite the craftsman. Thanks, Cliff.

Quite happy with the DW Hobby stuff. Lovely flights! :)
Hi Ian, lovely balsa in them as well 👍
Great job, Cliff 👍👍👍
Thank you Connie, I flew her yesterday in the sunshine, the forthcoming video looks gorgeous 👍
Nice flyer, Thanks Cliff
Thank you Duncandan 🙂
Very nice looking great 👍 well done
Thanks Rod 👍
great flight video,thanks for sharing.
There's more to come from this little beauty 👍🙂
Just lovely 👏
Cheers Mike, always good when a maiden goes as hoped 🙂
Excelente vuelo bautismo cliff pese al viento muy lindo modelo
Ella manejó muy bien el viento, ¿no es así? Si esperaba las condiciones perfectas, esperaría para siempre Alfredo 👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes jjajajaja si te da mucha ansiedad lo qeres hacer volar ni bien lo terminaste de armar desde la mesa del taller

Really nice video. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Bryan, sorry, missed your comment, thank you and you're welcome 👍
A nice flyer!
Thanks Robert 👍🙂
At 1st looks like the nose is a bit short and so would be tail heavy. But not the case it flies very well anf looks like a nice vintage cruiser. 👍🏻

With a different design of undercarriage (similar to the Atom for instance) the battery could have been further forward, negating the need for all the lead in the nose!
Looks like you'll have to be careful of the thermals with that one, good flier (and pilot of course).
Thanks Brian, it spirals well 😯👍
Very nice
Thank you Colin 🙂
Hi Cliff ! Beautifuly build plane, and perfect flight. What kind of battery did you use in this model ? Thank you !
Thanks, I used a 1300 3s 🙂👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Thanks :)
looks perfect :)
Hi Leszek, nice of you to say so 👍
Greetings from Germany, i have build also a Cute Girl, but not flew it yet. Can you please tell me where you have your CG ? Greetings Timo

Cliff, what size batteries are you flying your Cute Girl with? Thanks
Hi Dave, I'm flying her on 3s 1300mah but there's room for a 2200mah 👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes How do you think a 2s would work? too underpowered?
@@zolar7a Considering I cruise around on 60% power I would say you'll have no problems 👍
