    I'm 71 years young and when I was a kid/teenager living in Pennsylvania, I had airplane models hanging from my bedroom ceiling. My prized model to the TWA Super Connie. The Super Connie was one of the most beautiful and sleek airliners of the 1950s. I remember riding my bicycle to the Harrisburg, PA airport where the TWA Super Connie would land a few times per day. I never had a schedule, but I knew to be there at about 2pm in the afternoon. Your RC model is one of the best I've seen on RUclips. Thanks for sharing your video.

    All the models are perfect and beautiful, especially the Super Constellation. Ivwish i couldcagain see a real one, flying past their 4 x 28 cylinder radial engines, NOTHING sounds better ! Well done all you guys, I Salute you! I love watching RC model places fly, especially replicas and warbirds, my favorite warbird, is the Focke Wulf Fw 190 D-9. I'm 73yrs, I love planes ever since I saw the first planes fly past above the clouds I was about 4 hrs, somehow never had enough bucks to buy a RC model plane for myself. im from South Africa .
