Did anyone else notice the beautiful Jag XK 120 go by at 1:23 ?

[@RamblerMan68]

No, but thanks for the heads up!! Awesome 😊

[@neilmchardy9061]

Yes I did

[@cyklopath]

And an Alfa at 3:48

[@TalkingGIJoe]

a beautiful plane on a beautiful field!

[@michaelhannah5376]

Gorgeous model and what an amazing sound from the beautiful engine

[@philippechanez4764]

Un bien beau modèle et très bien motorisé! BRAVO pour cette splendide réalisation

[@stardust6066]

Sounds and looks great 👍

[@rockytheeagle4883]

Welch ein Sound😮😮👍👍👍👏👏

[@ovalwingnut]

I'm so daZzled with this aircraft & engine combo I don't mind if it never starts... I'm happy! The only time I was worried is when "Mr. Prop's" cigarett almost when out. Good save!

[@jean-marcpoirier9340]

Je viens d'inventer un mot qui mélange magique et magnifique : MAGI-FIQUE ! Ca doit être une vraie responsabilité de le faire décoller. Bon vol !

[@pwkulp]

What a beautiful place to fly!

[@sukhoi115]

Magnifique ! Hâte de voir le premier vol

Congrats Guys !!! Keep going 🤟

[@andreasmuller241]

Super Sound, einfach geiler als ein Elektromotor. Schönes Modell 👍

[@VolantPneu]

Une splendeur, extraordinaire !!

[@jefflormans5441]

I love the lines of the Caudron. Must have been a bitch to taxi though.

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

I couldn't imagine spending the money for that engine and not getting electric start?

[@TalkingGIJoe]

seems like that would be a no brainer...

[@bugey8226]

Rien de mieux qu'un thermique multi cylindre !

[@NicoSchneid]

I originally designed and built this plane for a Fiala 120 IL. However when I tried to equilibrate it with the Fiala, 3kg were missing in the nose and this is about the mass difference between the Fiala and the Kolm. Then, I decided to add horses instead of dead mass.
To avoid too heavy modifications to the fuselage, I had to chose the short version of the IL230, without electric starter to fit in. This finally does not seem to be an issue as at the second start (not in this video), the engine started up easily...

[@michaelhannah5376]

You read my mind

[@NicoSchneid]

Merci pour les commentaires encourageants, il ne manque plus que l'échappement et la certification catégorie B (mais pour cela, j'ai besoin du centrage et de la masse finale précise, et donc, de l'échappement...). Je trépigne à l'idée de mettre ce zinc en l'air mais je dois bien avouer aussi que j'en ai une trouille bleue. 320 g/dm² de charge alaire quand même !

[@ret737]

Magnificent!!

[@tsclly2377]

Nice.. I see that the engine is an addition of several, thus can be made bigger.. (love to see your 6 cylinder model.. then add a scavenger turbo.. also at least a GoPro in the cockpit when it flies (maybe one that looks sideways also).

[@halmakenreuther8843]

I didn't know this plane even existed 😂 beautiful 👌👍

[@MrBenoit64]

Beau bébé ! un bon refoidissement à travailler !

[@jebise1126]

is that like inverted I4 engine?

[@MarioGonzalez-zo8lc]

Landing wheels look too small for that bumpy grass runway; I’d like to see if it lands well or tumbles- hope not

[@user-nr6fi4so8y]

Сделайте из электродрели ручной стартер,как когда-то заводили двигателя на истребителях.Посмотрите устройство соединения на старых машинах,что заводились ручкой,которую нужно было вставлять спереди капота машины(ручка как на шарманке)По технике безопасности для защиты рук

Lindo avião , parabéns 👏🏿😍👏🏿😍 ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️

[@ronaldbrouhard1247]

Kinda looks like a triple. Cool plane.

[@andypc14]

it is a triple - v4 is their fourth iteration of the il230…

[@josephnewton-vs9lc]

How about a three cylinder in line engine.

[@andypc14]

the kolm il230 is an inline engine

[@TomFly]

Wo ist das gefilmt worden?? Toller Platz!

Sounds like my neighbor's lawn mower.

[@The762nato]

Sounds like a Spitfire .

[@RobWhittlestone]

More precisely one third of a Spitfire this is a V4, Spitfire V12.

[@aquajew3000]

​@@RobWhittlestone I think the v4 stands for version 4, it looks like an inline 3 cylinder to me.

[@RobWhittlestone]

@@aquajew3000 Perhaps you're right! I was surprised to see so many carburettors on one side for a V4!

[@frankschwartz7405]

If it's a "V4" why does it have three carburetors?

[@andypc14]

because its version 4 of their Il230🙄

[@zigzain_]

The same question. This is V6

[@berndm9743]

Can you say Electric Starter

😢

[@andypc14]

Lovely engine - and for some of the confused, the v4 in the video title is their fourth iteration, not reference to engine cylinder alignment🙄

[@edwardryan9125]

My thoughts entirely considering, I could only see what looks like 3 carbs

[@andypc14]

@@edwardryan9125 wonderful engine - requiring a very big model and deep pockets!!😁
