Lots of amazing pilots out there but videographers at this level for Pattern I have NEVER seen before. Amazing camera work and detail. I would love to seem many more such videos of pattern!!! Huzzah!
So much more enjoyable to watch than 3D. I have little interest in actually competing but, as a spectator, pattern is just so much nicer. 3D is hard to discern from a spazzing electronics package, but this is a plane that's under complete control at all times. Also, pattern planes tend to be much prettier. I wouldn't mind having a 40-size pattern plane with tricycle retracts and an FS52 in the nose just for shits 'n giggles flying. Like I said I have no interest in actually trying to compete but I think these types of planes look gorgeous and the on-rails manner in which they fly is perfection.
I'm re-teaching myself precision pattern flying after way too many years away from it. This video is the catalyst for wanting to fly that style again. Not only is the flying superb but the camera work is outstanding. Thanks to everyone responsible for this contribution. Excellent work.
Wish you'd have put up a label (text) identifying each maneuver. I flew Class D pattern in AMA competition back in the 1970's with my O.S. Max .60 R/C engine and Kraft "Gold Medal Series" R/C gear on 72mhz. I recognize some elements, but things have changed drastically in the past 40 some years. The worst part about being an "RC Senior" is that all the top pilots I used to look up to when I was young are now deceased. There was a time when ALL the RC gear was made here in the USA. (my 1st RC transmitter actually had tubes in it, with batteries to light the filaments, and others to provide HV for the plate circuitry) I fly electric Quadcopters now. I have a feeling that if today's RC enthusiasts had to endure what we did back "in the old days", there would be few left in the hobby. I'm glad that technological advances have kept the hobby going and affordable to the masses.
Utterly incredible. I've seen a lot of pattern, I've flown a lot of pattern, but that's the best I've ever seen. Perfectly powered, perfect speed control. Delightful roll control and enviable heading control. If I could have my dream flight, it would look like that. Posting the link to my forum, explaining "this is how it's done!"
Precision aerobatics is just that. Svetlana Kapanina at times shows the absolute precision of hitting the points exactly with no wobble or fudging. Harv does this too and it only comes with tons of practice. I've seen some indoor pattern planes fly this well but that's with no wind and the airplane is quite close in to the pilot. Cliff Weirick scored all 10s in the old AMA pattern back in the 60s so they made the sequences much more difficult. I can't see how you can make anything more difficult than some of these sequences. Thanks for setting the bar much higher.
Hey Ken, don't know what you paid for the new camera, but it was worth it. Harv makes a very difficult sequence look effortless. I can fly like that too.(In my dreams). Great job of keeping the Caelestia in frame.
Thank you Dan Ya I'm pretty happy with the Cam. Its still a big challenge keeping it in frame But that would have been impossible with my cheap y cam . Do you know how awful it is to not scratch and let the fly's such on your neck for that long? HA HA HA. Editing takes a lot more patients because with such huge files, It takes along time moving things around. But the extra detail makes for the ability to do lots without ruining the picture quality. Thanks for watching.
i fly patter too but im not master, i ve an osmose designed by paysant le roux and build by Camodel, i like pattern, so i like a lot this video... great skills.
beautiful....I've just gotten interested in precision aerobatics....got an Eflite Leader 480... and really enjoy learning the skills. I noticed the prices for the Caelesia and others are $1,000 - 3,000 .....I'm not THAT interested. I'll fly my poor man's pattern plane and do the best I can.
update - its been 7 months - still flying my Leader 480, recently got a Night Visionaire - it is serving me well as a sport aerobatic plane - it has 3D ability but I'm not using that part. I have my eye on an Extreme Flight 300 exp 48 inch - I think it would make a good sport flyer for me.
Great flying wow are there any size or weight restrictions for competition aircraft? I'd like to set out on a journey to build one and guess I need to start there.

Probably one of the best R/C videos on RUclips

Bravo,finally someone who can keep the aircraft in shot. Wonderful flying, well done
Ken, this vid never ceases to amaze me. It is the best model airplane video ever, imo. Please share tech details of how it was filmed!

EXCELLENT CHOICE OF MUSIC FOR THIS VIDEO, GREAT PILOT, AND GOOD VIDEO FOOTAGE.

He is a very good pilot I agree with you entirely Thanks for watching

Incredible pilot and amazing pattern plane.
The slow rolling loops are awesome.
I can do them with a 3D foamie but not a pattern ship.
Great flying.
Dammit..... THIS is what I call precision flying! Doesn't get any better!!
Pretty awesome flyer isn't he :) Thanks for watching
WOW, that was nice! coming from an IMAC pilot. 1st time I see a pattern sequence flown.
3D aerobatics are impressive but pattern, especially at this level, is so very elegant and sexy.
That is inspirational! Gorgeous plane too! So smooth! well done
Truly awesome...and I never was into pattern planes' This level of skill make's me say OMG...You are the bomb.
Nice CGI. Amazing! Almost looks real.
Amazing plane and the pilot was fantastic
Great video all the way around.

Great job of keeping the Caelestia in frame.
Great skill to achieve this level....inspirational
Man that boy can fly.so graceful.
Thanks for clarifying Harv and Good flying dude Awesome
Harv is awesome at everything he try's to do well at and he pattern flying is no exception Thanks for watching :)
Amazing what a Pilot, very well done.....! congratulations....

smooth video capturing :3
That's great I'm glad you like it Thanks for the comments and watching
i fly patter too but im not master, i ve an osmose designed by paysant le roux and build by Camodel, i like pattern, so i like a lot this video... great skills.
Who makes this plane and where can you buy one?? Excellent flying.
For shire He watched it and thought I slowed down the play back I told Him No man You just that smooth
nice and smooth !!!
I agree Cool thanks for watching :)
Cool Very nice
beautiful....I've just gotten interested in precision aerobatics....got an Eflite Leader 480...
and really enjoy learning the skills. I noticed the prices for the Caelesia and others are
$1,000 - 3,000 .....I'm not THAT interested. I'll fly my poor man's pattern plane and do the best I can.
Buy an FMS Olympus. It's cheap, almost ready to fly, and flies great. That's the one I trained on
@@beb0p858 sounds like a good one if I should decide to scale up from the smaller 3 cell planes.
update - its been 7 months - still flying my Leader 480, recently got a Night Visionaire - it is serving me well as a sport aerobatic plane - it has 3D ability but I'm not using that part. I have my eye on an Extreme Flight 300 exp 48 inch -

no im not canadian pilot but the airframe used to belong to one of the current canadian representatives and it was the f-13 sequence
My mates were in muncie, they were fliying there... southafrica missed. :(
pilots last name Dinham ?
Thanks for watching and commenting :)
HA HA yes is seems natural how fast he gets good at this flying stuff . Thanks for watching :)
Very easy to do, and almost no skill needed. LOL. Amazing flying lots of flights to achieve this level of precision.
yep its FAI but u ve P13 pattern P15 and could be F15 in this video
its F15 pattern?
Cool Thanks Much appreciated
Are you a pilot of F3A Canadian team??
Yes for 2013 it changes so I'm told
Pilot's name please?
Excellent film Ken.That Harv fella needs to be tested for banned substances.
or fai i think its called
He bought this plane from a guy whp is I thing I am betting he will be soon thought Harv picks up skills so fast its mind boggling
Thank You Bob Cant wait to get out in the wild HA HA
Tony G.
I mean un natrual
Oh I thought this was going to be something I could watch until the music came on and fucking screwed that up!
This is obscene.
