Good looking and flying V35 there, thanks for sharing your experience. I remember hobby-shopping in Red Bank when my late father was assigned (twice) to Ft. Monmouth in the 1950s and '60s . Lots of good memories there.... Wright Flyer, USAF (1968-1972).
Thank you for your comment. I can recall a large slot car track in Red Bank that my dad took me and my brother to see. I also have great memories of visiting the airport. Who knows, I may have seen the Bonanza! 😄And thank you for your service.
@@Watchingthevideos99 Lots of hobby activity of all genres in that area. I remember one house that had its hedges trimmed to represent a train, but was especially excited by a real F8F Bearcat in natural metal sitting in the weeds next to the airport. Found out soon after climbing into the cockpit that it was full of tics....
Thank you Jim. This was a fun project. The Herr kit makes a good flyer for sure. Still learning how to make realistic figures. My most recent project will have a pilot and my carving/sanding skills are now getting a bit better. 🙂
Big applause for bringing the bunch of box-printing-passengers to life! Even with the matching clothes, very charming. The bonanza is a beautiful design anyway, and you have built yourself a very beautiful model, for sure!
Fabulous build. Such attention to detail and such skill! As you added more and more I worried about the finished weight, but apparently you were careful not to load it down. It flies great, too. A tremendous success all around and very inspiring from a master of this art.
Thanks for your comment, Patrick. If you're referring to the fuselage where the two colors are joined, the tissue is applied after joining and water shrunk like normal. Only that 1/8th inch seam has been doped prior to that. Once shrunk, a coat of nitrate was applied to seal everything. Hope that answers your question.
Thank you. If I recall the model without the rubber motor was 65 grams. Thanks for watching. This was one of my favorite projects. I'm planning on another but use the Cleveland plan.
Thank you John. This was a fun project that turned out to be a better flyer than I expected. The turn is just the slightest twist in the left side of the stab. The tip on that side is slightly high. And that was only how it came out after covering and assembly. I let the model tell me which way it wanted to go. So I really didn't create the turn, it naturally had a turn to the left. There was also a bit of thrust line adjustment involved but more playing with the down thrust.
Nice job .. Not what my gut thought would be a great flyer but that test glide proved me totally wrong. In addition to your diy canopy I'm thinking you cut back on that kits weight in other areas .. ?
Thank you. Yes, really only used the laser cut parts from the kit. So spars and stringers were my own choice. Along with lighter Esaki tissue. This model even surprised me with it's performance.
Very nice John, I noticed during the glide test you left the prop off. Did you include the weight of the prop on the nose with clay for testing with out the drag of the prop ? Question #2, will you make a video of your double size Miles M-20 flying soon ?
Hello. Yes, I do my test glides with the prop off. As you point out, I add an equivalent weight to the nose during my glide testing while setting up proper incidence. It's a process for trimming I published back in 1992. Here's a link to my "10 Step" trimming process. www.flyingacesclub.com/PFFT/Trimming10steps.pdf Not sure regarding your question on the Miles M-20. I have a peanut but haven't considered a double size. That would be a great flying model!
Thank you Robin. Most of my building is done with old school nitrocellulose glues like Sigment. For sanding, I use 220 wet/dry for the first pass and then finish with 400 wet/dry. This model is currently using a Gizmo Geezer 9.5 inch prop and front end. Really like the free wheeler with these props.
Thank you for your kind words Matt. The model surprised me on how easy it was to trim. I tryed hard to keep the tail surfaces flat and made sure everything was aligned properly. Once the glide was set, I needed a touch of downthrust. But that was about it. A really fun model to see in the air.

Simply beautiful. What a great job you did. I like the people that you put inside, it gives it a great touch !

Excellent job! Love the scale details! Flies beautifully too from what I can see.
Thank you Jim. Yes, a good flyer! It really surprised me.
Love the passengers! And the test glide was great.
Thank you Sidney.
Big applause for bringing the bunch of box-printing-passengers to life! Even with the matching clothes, very charming.
The bonanza is a beautiful design anyway, and you have built yourself a very beautiful model, for sure!
Thank you very much!
That's amazing how well you made it look like the photo of the Sterling Bonanza. It fly good too!
Thank you Richard. A fun project!
Beautiful work and craftsmanship. Must be very light to fly so well. Thanks for sharing your covering and marking techniques.
Thank you John. Yes, turned out to be a good flyer. Really happy with the outcome.

Beautiful job
Thank you. A fun project.
@@Watchingthevideos99 I can tell. I used to build about 10 years ago. My older RUclips videos show this.
@@mattnsim looks like you were a pretty active indoor flyer! Nice. And some great projects. You need to start building again!
Fantastic plane 👍👍👍
Thank you Richard.
great crafstmanship
Thank you.
Very nice work! Good flying, too.
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing detail. How do you shrink the tissue if you dope before applying it the structure?
Thanks for your comment, Patrick. If you're referring to the fuselage where the two colors are joined, the tissue is applied after joining and water shrunk like normal. Only that 1/8th inch seam has been doped prior to that. Once shrunk, a coat of nitrate was applied to seal everything. Hope that answers your question.
@@Watchingthevideos99 okay yep that answered it thank you.
You're welcome!
Nice model!
Great video!
Thanks!
Simply wonderful ! What's the final total weight?
Thank you. If I recall the model without the rubber motor was 65 grams. Thanks for watching. This was one of my favorite projects. I'm planning on another but use the Cleveland plan.
Now I have to build my Sterling kit! Thank you.
You're welcome Tom. The Herr might be a better flyer but the Sterling version is probably a lot more scale. Have fun.
Tom, that Sterling kit is heavy and overbuilt. I'd find a different one. Herr is better.
Awesome work 👏
Thank you Shayne.
Cool.
Excellent,
Looks good and flies great.
Just wondered how you
Adjusted the v tail to make a turn?.
Thank you John. This was a fun project that turned out to be a better flyer than I expected. The turn is just the slightest twist in the left side of the stab. The tip on that side is slightly high.

@@Watchingthevideos99 ok thanks for that.

Well built model! What glues did you use? What was the final grit sand paper you used before covering? What is you propeller set up? Thank you

Yes really nice and I gained some good building and covering tips. Was it difficult to trim as a v-tail? Glides beautifully though!

Is that Larry Tate and Darren Stevens in the back seat ?
😂🤣😂
bud holly and richie valens as pilots?
😅🤣😆😂
初めまして、凄く雰囲気が良い飛行機ですね。スケールモデルは最高に良い感じです！パイロットが雰囲気を上げています。
Nice to meet you. Thank you for your kind words.
I;m watching you
