I’ve watched RC modeling videos for years and this is my favorite to date. The engine alone is a masterpiece and it runs so reliably. Not too overpowered with a gentle realistic flight
Beautiful craft!! I can see lots of research and care!! Thank you for allowing us to see this!
Wow! A fantastic example of top-class model engineering. I am so happy that it only suffered minimal damage and hope to see it fly again. All best regards.
The most noteworthy is the fact its a rotary engine. That's real authenticity.
That much mass spinning always freaks me out. You would have thought a century ago there must have been a more efficient design.
Na klar. Natüüüüürlich hat er das. What else?!
@@AndyFromBeaverton Duh! TWO engines, the second one turning the OTHER way. Think in solutions, man. This is the obvious answer: compensate those horrible gyro effects. Too many planes have crashed by leaving the tarmac and destroying an expensive runway light. Why does the world accept those bad properties of airplanes?! Try selling cars that steer crooked, nobody will buy it. And planes? Weird side effects are considered normal. Why?!
@@voornaam3191 the first mass produced aviation engines were of the rotary type.. Clerget, Gnome-Rhone etc.
Don't you mean radial engine?
What a realistic sounding plane. Great camera work! Did NOT expect the ending!
Thank you for your kind comment, Jeff. Non one of us expected this kind of ending, but luckily it "landed" in the cornfield, instead of the hard runway.
@freebeerfordworkers ... do you mean the B-25 ( ruclips.net/video/dGC6MIYx6i8/видео.html )
If so. It was damaged in the front, and it has been rebuild this year.
@freebeerfordworkers O.K. Thanks for the reply !
@@RCScaleAirplanes I am glad the damage wasn't worse than it was. Probably so accurate that the original design flaws of the actual plane were in the model as well. Not a lot of control surface authority. But a beautiful model. Well done.
What a glorious machine.
Beautiful,flown so well too and that draggy airframe to contend with too,a lack of elevator authority is a nightmare and glad that you can repair to fly again.
For those who placed the thumbs down you just dont get it do you ? this is how pioneer aeroplanes flew with wing warping and rotary engines that sent them into a spiral dive.
My son and I literally gasped at the end!!! So glad there was only minimal damage, work of art!
Credit to the builder & pilot, beautiful model. Glad you came down on a reasonably soft area and repairable. Great video
_Thank you for your kind comment, which I really appreciate._ 😎🤙🏼
That was a great job. Building from scratch, maiden flight is part of the initial test, could fly or crash. The same happened in the old days. Model building and repairing is part of the hobby. Some improvements, and you get that masterpiece of history back in the air..
I build, fly crash, repair. Experimenting is a lot of fun. Hope you get it back soon, because I subscribed!

Since this model does not exist anywhere else, it was difficult to pinpoint the exact center of gravity.
There were also two other factors that unfortunately caused the aircraft to sink quickly.
1. the slow response time of the engine
2 .. the insufficient deflection of the elevator.
In the end, it was good that the model landed on the cornfield instead of the hard runway.
_The model has been repaired and the necessary corrections were done. It's ready for a re-maiden now._
*thanks for the sub* 🤙😎
Amazing and very talented model building. This is what scale modelling is all about. I too did not expect the ending my heart sank...
Fantastic!! Especially the engine!
The looks, the sound, the roll, the flight. MAGNIFICENT!! Such a gentle takeoff. Sad to see it buy rhe farm. But so glad of the minimal damage. Look forward to the maden landing. Hope you will upload that. Great work! It is people like you that make the sport what it is. Thanks for sharing.
Der Sound, das Aussehen, wie die Echten:-). Toll!
Vielen Dank für das Kompliment !!!
So graceful. Love the sound and the pilot's scarf flying in the breeze!
the plane in combination with this engine is GREAT !
Thank you for your great comment !!!
Hi,
after a long time waiting for different reasons we had perfect conditions for the re-maiden last weekend. I am happy to tell you that I had two perfect flights with perfect landings. 600 g lead in the tail and more elevator solved the problem. Next time I will find somebody to make a short video to let you participate.
Regards Gerhard
Hey Thanks absolutely great video and plane
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
you are a nice hard worker
Спасибо !!!Я просто в восторге !!! Это - шедевр !!! Двигатель ...просто слов не нахожу ...БЕЗ СЛОВ !!! Жаль, но я даже не сомневаюсь - после ремонта все будет хорошо !!! Удачи !!!
Oh so very cool. What a beauty! Love the touch with the silk scarf. Man the pilots eyes must have been dried out the the prop wash and flying
Buy that guy some goggles.😳
Thank you for your kind comment, Scott. The pilot will get goggles for the next flight, in order to hit the runway. 👍😂
I agree with you.
No worries, they were moisturized by plenty of castor oil from the engine.
Of course a side effect were their pants being "moisturized", too.
Awesome video love the sound
_Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video._

Herrlich!!!! Ist der Sternumlauf auch Eigenbau? Wahnsinn!!!👍👍👍😂😂😂😂 Viele Grüße aus Germany
Vielen Dank. Nein ... der Umlaufmotor ist von *Armin De Vries UML300cc 5 Zylinder 4 Takt* ... www.modellmotoren.eu
I've never heard a rotary idle down that smooth. Beautiful.
Geil, einfach nur geil, fliege auch solche Kisten daher weis ich was der Pilot da fühlt
Danke für deinen tollen Kommentar. Gerhard hatte Glück, dass die Schäden sehr gering blieben.
Outstanding craftsmanship.....well done Gerhard......so sorry that she broke.....I know you'll have her rebuilt, good as new.
_Thank you for your kind words, Barry. Sure it will fly much better after it is repaired. CG and elevator will be improved._
Amazing model for a scratch build so he really had no idea of its flight characteristics but I'm very happy it's ok and will fly again!!
_Thank you for your kind comment !!!_

I was thinking the same thing.. Whether you weighted the pilot or used sand bags to half of a pilots weight. Marvelous build you have there.
The corn saved it !
We flew over a large suger cane field in Louisiana.
A many a plane crashed into the tall cane that survived with minimal damage.
*ok*
very proud my friend, I come from Tanzania.
Thank you very much !
know the pain, how will you help me?
Wow! Not only looks good but sounds right too. Congratulations.
When that beauty crashed, so did my heart! Glad she wasn't too badly hurt. Great job!
Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated !!!
Loving that radial Engine. 👍🏻
me too, but this is a rotary engine
@@RCScaleAirplanes Ah sorry mixed up the type. Still great 👍🏻
@@DadsRCHangar never mind. It looks same as a radial, but it rotates 😉🤙🏼
Magnifique SUPERBE Merci
So awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Bravo ! une belle réalisation, j'adore ce type de modèle et le moteur est magnifique, il a un bruit génial !
Absolutely wonderful,speechless!!!
Thank you for the compliment. Much appreciated !!!
What a beauty, and a rotary engine too! Thoroughly enjoyed the pre flight and start up - and just terrific to see it in the air. What a sweet take off. Looks as though it flies on just rudder/elevator - and just as I thought it was coming in for a landing it was in the crops. Very concerning but thank goodness it's not too badly damaged. Definite need for much larger elevator throw.
you must be a granny if you enjoy this crap doing circles in the sky
@@Zikatus why don't you go out to your sandbox troll and get off this channel !
_Thank you for your kind comment, Chris !!!

Since this model does not exist anywhere else, it was difficult to find the right setup.
There were three factors that unfortunately caused the aircraft to sink quickly.
1. center of gravity (nose heavy)
2. the slow response time of the engine
3. the insufficient deflection of the elevator.
In the end, it was good that the model landed on the cornfield instead of the hard runway.
_Cheers, Horst_
@@bartnuckols6615 there are too many keyboard experts here ... @Zikatus is one of them 👍😂
@@RCScaleAirplanes Yes I am a keyboard expert that's why flying fields are either full of grannies or desolated with less and less people. flying models without performing aerobatics is way too boring to me. sorry.

Woow มันสวย งามมาก fc 2020
Great work that truly belongs in a museum someday...
Thank you. But first it has to fly and fly and fly ......
Well done! What a magnificent build! That engine is a remarkable piece of craftsmanship. The plane sounded like a full-size aircraft. Excellent piloting skills throughout. I’m glad the damage was minimal. Best wishes for many hours of perfect flights!
An absolutely STUNNING model. And that scale rudder has it's work cut out for it with all that torque with a rotary engine, and a BIG prop. I'm glad the damage was minimal. Excellent build...wow.
@5:00 close your eyes and think it's a Knuckle Head. Bad Ass build! Sir thank you for sharing brother and Hafa Adai from Guam 🤙🤙
That is really scale - great job
Great model, no problems easy fix, just more elevator. Thankyou, excellent video 10/10 from me.
That is just an amazing model aircraft ! Well done !
Thank you very much !
Felicitaciones amigos, les deseo éxitos 🏁
Saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨
Gracias 🤙😎
It's look so simple, classic, but fun to fly. Awesome 👍
No hay palabras para describir esa hermosura
Beautiful Modele Plane, Beautiful Spirit and Beautiful Hearts・・・♪
Thank you very much !!! 😉👍🏻
This is wonderful! Great job! I've never seen rotating cilinders before! That's very clever, so the cilinders keep cooler!
its actually how the original radials were built and operated in RL, as the engines got progressively larger, radials were further developed to stay stationary and turn the prop instead (no idea why this happened, maybe to do with the torque created by spinning ever increasingly larger engines)
@@roadsweeper1 thank you! Very interesting, I didn't know that.
the real reason for being rotary is to eliminate the mass of the flywheel of the engine and build a lighter engine. in this case the cylinders will act as flywheel. The problem was created by the gyroscopic forces that made difficult to turn the plane to one side, this is was abandoned later.

@BrianJebe check image I sent you will see the flywheel of one of most popular aircraft engine
My hats off to these guys, absolutely remarkable!
Thank you for the compliment. Much appreciated !!!
I love this build, and share everyone's comments about the beauty of this aircraft. HOWEVER, am I the ONLY one who noticed that he did NOT have his model restrained before starting his engine?? That size propeller would have shaved him into pieces if it rolled forward. Restrain by a rope or have someone stand over the horizontal stab. Never stand in front of an engine without the aircraft restrained.. please!
I fully agree with you, you never should start an engine if the plane it is not restrained. But please take a closer look, of course it is restrained. There is a rope around the tailspur.
@@gergw3141 _You have very good eyes_ 👁👁🦅 👍🏻😉
Yes ... the plane was restrained.
It was restrained with a rope. I was thinking of mentioning it in the video, but there was too much text already. 😉
Thank you both for the correction!
@@gergw3141 Maybe this year at the Dutch Dawn Patrol Gerhard 😃
Holy crap! That's a rotary engine! What a jewel that engine and airplane are!! Love it!!
An amazing build. I hope he repairs it soon with better trims. I would love to see it fly again. Great video!
Thank you for your kind comment. Yes. The plane is almost rebuilt and the trims and CG will be corrected.
and of course it’s not just a gorgeous engine it’s a freaking rotary… yeah too cool.
Beautiful plane.
It sure is!
A score out of 10 ; You get a 7 , absolutely well done . The flameout doesn,t make it less distinctive. Great video , the ending was a little bit of a surprise . Thank You
Thanks 👍
Amazing and awesome!
It sounds like the real thing. I was at a museum and outside the airport hangar they started the engine up of a Caudron plane (it might have been a replica but I think they said it wasn’t). The pilot had to keep the engine going by revving it or putting more throttle in so it wouldn’t turn off. They said the engine was so loud it sounded like gunshots, I reckon it did! as the sound also echoed through the hangar next to it. By the way, great video and great job on the build of this RC airplane. 👍
What a rare rotary engine beauty - she purrs! Love how you shot the intro with whimsical music. Very cinematic! Great job filming sir!
Grosses Kino - Hut ab ! Der Motor ist der Hammer !!!!
_Vielen Dank !!!_
Wow! Magnificent example of a working rotary engine (the motor rotates, the crankshaft is fixed to the fuselage structure).
Thank you very much!
im so glad that it survived the crash
mit Umlaufmotor, wow tolle Umsetzung! Respekt!
Vielen Dank Alois. Freut mich, dass dir das Video gefällt.
ótimo vídeo....aeromodelo lindo!!!! agora é só recuperar e voar de novo!!!!!
Wonderful efforts on all fronts, engine, building and flying! I think test flying it and finding there was insufficient up elevator control would have been stressful.
Thanks for sharing.
Excelente trabajo lo acompaño en la tristeza del accidente animo amigo
Beautiful. Many congratulations and thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
My heart sank when he went down! Thank goodness minimal damage!
Yes. It looked very scary but at the end, it wasn't damaged too much. It's repaired already.
Linda replica clássica parabéns belo voo pena que deu uma pane .faz parte do aeromodelismo.forte abraço a todos amantes do aeromodelismo
Super avion. Le petit personnage est courageux de voler dans un avion aussi vieux😃
Merci pour ton excellent commentaire.
That radial engine has a spool up time like a jet turbine ;-)
yes for rotary engines, but not for radials 😉
@@RCScaleAirplanes That's what I meant. In german it is Umlaufmotor.

What a great airplane very realistic the engine sounds fantastic, and your flying skills are the best. Lots of luck. Keep up the great work. I'm a big fan of vintage aircraft.
Thanks a lot for your kind comment. Glad you like it. 🤙😉
Not what I expected. Looked like it flamed out. Beautiful plane. I am glad it is repairable.
Brilliant mind and a lot efforts both are in air....
ESPETACULAR.
THANK YOU !
Dann drück ich mal die Daumen für den zweiten Erstflug
Danke, jeder Daumen hilft 👍
Ein echter Umlaufmotor 😍😍😍😍 Davon träume ich, seit ich 1999 Mikael Carlsons Bleriot auf der Hahnweide gesehen habe 🤤🤤🔥👍👍👍👍👍 Senstationell! Vielen Grüße Nico von Nico‘s Projects
_Vielen Dank für deinen tollen Kommentar. Freut mich, dass dir das Video gefällt !!!_
The sound of that engine is superb👍
Indeed it is! Thank you.
love the large wherls.
Excellent.
Thank you! Cheers!
Ha! Love the music at the end. It will fly another day!
Was für ein tolles Modell und super Sound! Viel Glück und Erfolg für den zweiten Flug !
_Vielen Dank._ _Der nächste Flug wird bestimmt genauso gut und bestimmt auch mit einer gelungenen Landung._ 😎🤙🏼
Great video! Very interesting. Love the sound. Most impressive is the rotary engine and how it responds to the throttle. I'm glad the model was not seriously damaged in the landing. I look forward to the next flight! (NC USA)
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video.
there is something magical about a rotary engine, it just looks amazing spinning like that and man this this engine can idle pretty low, there is nothing like something that is this close in appearance, construction and operation to the real thing! Bravo, hats off to you sir! Now I never flown or own an RC plane but do have a good amount of production open rocker engines, single cylinder etc on me and one day I want to build a plane that flies as slow as this powered by an OS FS 60 open rocker which I own 2 of. just lovely to watch this plane floating away like that in the air, you see it all in sort of like slow motion. Just wonderful!
Oh Jesus! Did not see that coming!!!! :-( :-( :-( I am sorry, I hope you fix it all up good!
I’m a taildragger pilot. You should use you elevator when taxing and takeoff and landing. It will help you a lot.
thank you for your advise
I notice a lot of the RCers don’t know about rudder or elevators with dragging tail
Que fantástico....lo que me gusta todo esto....llevo 8 meses sin trabajo, imposible hacer nada en España
Getting better everyday,,
This is very amazing RC aircraft.
