Was it worth it? All those man hours and expertise on cramped Cessna spam can........

Seems like only a matter of time before a 1:1 scale RC aircraft is in the air!

Superlative aircraft and pilot’s scale flying skills. Beautifully done!!! Take offs and landings just don’t get any better. All the best.

Impresionante. Absolutamente impresionante la «piel» del modelo.

Gorgeous plane and flights! Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations ...

Time for a new paint job! LOL 😅

She's a BEAUTY! NICE! Great job all round. Finished up with a no.1 landing.

It took A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE AND PATIENCE, to do all the work that was needed to complete the job. Wow!

That,s a beauty

Awesome build and flights!

So now that you have a few flights under your belt are you happy with the amount of power at 81lbs? Do you have to fly it with full throttle most of the time? I’m trying to decide Fiala Valach 250 or 420cc

A couple of great flies !!!

Herb exceptional build and flying. Should be very proud.

Craftsmanship at its finest. We'll done! Great remadien.

Congrats, Herb. Well done.

Terrific work indeed ! A labour of love . The detail work i.e the rivet heads trully stunning ! And although l understand why you have the propeller required , a 5 blader would have been super . Congratulations Sir ! Nerves of steel to take to the air 😊

Absolutely brilliant restoration and well done on the flight too.... clear skies and happy flying.

Excellent maiden congratulations! What was the completed weight?

outstanding!

Beautiful plane !!!

Lots of work. Beautiful job. Herb.

Outstanding model!!! Very solid maiden!!!

Well done and love for Royal Navy model aviation

I was going to write 'shame about the small non-scale prop' but having just watched the maiden take-off ............. probably for the best? Fabulous re-build Sir, particularly the new colour scheme.

Who put all that grease on the field? Way to put it to good use..

It looks and sounds like a much bigger plane and it looks just awesome! Congrats on the fantastic maiden flight!

Oh, that was some awesome flying right there!!! So who was the third pilot to join you and Derwin? Was that Butch? Good job landing your plane with the engine running sour. Did it throw a push rod? Very impressive gaggle!!! Charles Wright

I have a J B 1/5.5 Seafury built it a few years ago turned out nice but needed a lot of weight up front to balance a lot more than the EME 60cc engine that i had in it . photo on Cali Graphics website Sea Fury RCN #800 Graphics Set

Master builder!!

Congratulations!! ❤️🇦🇺

Nicely done

Why would anyone paint that truly ghastly and stupid colour scheme on that original sea fury anyway ??????? Having said that, what a truly magnificent restoration. 10/10. Great craftsmanship to convert a ghastly wreck into something amazing.

Well done that man. Beautiful job, and a fine maiden. My pipe dream is to build a Bates 1/4 Tempest V, and watching you do the maiden did give me sweaty palms. Hate to think what they will be like if and when my turn comes!

Beautiful plane and great flight.

How brilliant, amazing and well done. Sharing your vid with my build crew, our Fury is full scale tho 🦘🇦🇺 couple of short resto vids on my channel, she is no where near finished, big project. All the best Deb from HARS Aviation 👍

Absolutely fantastic workmanship

Unbelievable workmanship! One of the nicest Sea Fury builds I’ve ever seen! And that Moki is running so smooth! Congrats on this fantastic model! 🎉

Wicked plane mate. Looks and sounds bloody great. Regards Chris Bailey

Odd that no fast taxy trials were done to assess direction stability before the actual take off?

A masterpiece. To be proud of. Sounds great. well done.

Great job. Both the restoration and the flight.

There is nothing better than a Fury and a Mokie, not to mention a beautiful field to fly.........

Thanks for sharing all the work that it takes to get this Sea Fury restored and back in the air. Keeping focused on the goal of flight means very careful work to make sure all the systems are perfect and that too much weight doesn't sneak in. The successful test flight is the reward for all the endless hours of craftsmanship. This is something to be proud of.

Way to go Herb! Congratulations!!! Sea Fury's fly great! Hope to fly mine with you at the Sod Farm! Charles Wright

Congratulations! Great restoration and maiden.

Vrooom! Love it Herb!

Nice flying and beautiful field...

Didn't see you at Joe Nall this year...
