    Nearly 105000 clicks in 10 days. That's insane. Thank you all for your positive feedback, for all your likes and wonderful comments. I've didn't expected this and done my best to answer them all 😀❤
    It was pointed out to me that the Provider did not participate in the Berlin Airlift. That is correct, as it did not fly until 1953 and I apologize for this mistake. As a real Berliner, I should have known better. However, there are reports that the USAF flew with the C-123 Provider to Tempelhof Airport in the late 1950s and a photograph from www.planepictures.net/v3/show_en.php?id=595278 shows a USAF Provider at Tempelhof in 1964. The city airport was returned to Berlin when the US left Berlin in 1993 and Tempelhof become a civilian airport. In 2008, flight operations ceased and Tempelhof Airbase, this important symbol for Berlin with his long history was closed 😥
    Depending my "Bookie Bird" .. there will be a sequel 😉
    p.s. if anyone is already interested in the landing gear .. please contact my mechanical engineer vanek05@seznam.cz and ask him for an offer.

    I was a hydraulic mechanic on the C-123 in Vietnam in 1969-70, Flight Controls, Landing Gear. Was not a pretty airplane but a great flyer. The ground troops sure love to see them coming in full of supplies. The turbines were J-85 jet engines. I loved working on this airplane. Easy to get to every thing.... well easier than a jet airplane, that is. Love the build. Great job. Great persistence and patience. Thanks for sharing.

However, please excuse me if I do have to disagree with you 😉 because I love the shape of this machine and think the Bookie Bird is sooo beautiful with its voluptous curves 😍 .. and I really hope that my Provider also flies as well as the original ☺

    This is how I thought my Gillows stick balsa and tissue models would look like when I built them 50 years ago! Each build was better but covering with the frame with included fraile tissue was challenging to say the least! I have not built with sticks in 40 years, but your video has inspired me to get back to it! Your words at the end were quite humble, point on, well grounded and inspiring! Thank you so very much for sharing this with us! May I add you did a very nice job with the video and a most amazingly excellent job on the construction itself! Bravo Sir, Bravo!

    Gillows, that takes me back in time. I was born in 1952. Pactra Dope fumes & Ambroid Glue. I built a beautiful Gillows Bristol Bullet - the tissue job was perfect - I just did not have the courage to fly it. I put it on the top of my dresser drawers & departed for Embry Riddle for college & flight training. When I came home for a trimester summer break, I almost cried. The sunrise every morning used to shine through my bedroom window & the beam would pass over my model. Well, it warped the upper wing & separated both ends of the wings from the outer wing struts - it was impossible to fix. I tried every trick in the book to warp it back into place with no joy. The last time I saw it was 1975 when I came home from the U.S. army. Those Gillows models were delicate.
    Your model in this video is beyond awesome; it is pure artwork...! It takes super human patience to create a model aircraft like yours...!!! If I had created a model aircraft like the one in this video - I'd be strutting back & forth in my hobby shop patting myself on the back...!!! Count on this comment as a pat on the back from an old Gillows model airplane model maker...!!! 😊

    Дерево-это классика для авиамоделей. Интересно было бы увидеть авиамодель, построенную по такому же принципу, но с напечатанными деталями на 3д принтере. Думаю, не составит особого труда смоделировать и напечатать: обшивку, лонжероны, стрингеры, нервюры и т.д.

      Здравствуйте Игорь, спасибо за ваш комментарий. Печать целых моделей самолетов осуществляется уже сегодня и даже становится все более распространенной. Каждый использует ту технику, которой владеет лучше всего, и строит модели из того материала, который считает подходящим. Я люблю дерево. Мы уже живем на пластмассовой планете... Мне не нравятся все эти пластмассовые модели и особенно эти пенопластовые модели, которые я считаю ужасными. Для меня это просто упаковочные отходы. Но это нормально, на них может быть интересно летать.

    By the way, I would like to remind you all, that WD-40 is not for lubrication - as many people think - it is good for what it was designed for. For removing moisture and loosening connections.
    There is 15% oil there. It is 50% mineral spirit.
    It has to appear easily, penetrate and disappear quickly.
    Therefore, after cleaning, appropriate grease/gear oil should be applied. Oils for maintaining bicycles are surprisingly good.
    Light, low viscosity and even after wiping, they work well under load.

  • @coriscotupi
    @coriscotupi Год назад

    What a great video, and wow, what a great project. I too enjoy building from balsa. My first RC models were a "Taxi" trainer and a "Mosquito" glider, both by Graupner (built a lot of free-flight gliders before that). Then I went on building my own designs. Today everyone and their cousins seem to fly foamies, or at least RTF models. They don't know what they're missing, building is at least half of the fun!
    ...Are you left-handed? Over some 50 years, my left hand has been the victim. Every now and then X-acto knifes, Olfa cutters, slipped screwdriver bits, all sorts of sharp, pointy or blunt stuff seem to find their way into my left hand, which has collected a good deal of scars as that's the one trying to hold things as they are cut, drilled, sanded, etc.
    You're building a masterpiece. But I didn't have to tell you that, you know it already.
    Happy New Year.

    • @LarsBaeter
      @LarsBaeter  Год назад +1

      Many, many thanks for your kind words and sharing your memories with us. We have obviously experienced a similar growth 😉 I too have built a Taxi in my youth, of course and my first RC glider was a BETA from Graupner. The world is changing and people enjoy other things today. I guess that's always been the case and it's up to each person to decide to buy or to build.
      And yes, I am indeed left-handed 😄and had severely injured my right hand. The worst thing was that I couldn't tinker for a while, even though I tried, which was a pretty bad idea. There is little you can do to make it heal faster, but a lot you can do to make it last longer. 😝

    Lars, very nice job on the RC airplane scale model. Just a side note, the Berlin Blockade by the Soviets and the Berlin Airlift by the American, British and other allies, took place in 1948 - 1949.

    • @LarsBaeter
      @LarsBaeter  Год назад

      That's right Brian. Especially me as a real "West-" Berliner I should know that and my parents experienced the Blockade. So I was also a bit surprised that Chat-GPT were sure. I found also nothing by my own research but I suspect that even after the blockade ended, the Allies flew a lot to Tempelhof Airport. Then also with C-123. That would make sense
