Yes Cliff has the same model but an earlier version. And it can be very fiddly indeed. Happy New Year!

Thank you. But also thank you to all my friends who laughed.

@@Edmund_Mallory_Hardgrove my pleasure.❤️

@@collinmccallum I haven’t finished yet, but the best is to come.❤️

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Life gets in the way. But thank you. ❣

Thank you.

@@briangreen6602 I’ll take a look at the back of the sofa. You never know ya luck.

@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Thank you Cliff. That means a lot to me.

@@ColinGreening-m9m I thank you for watching. I am pleased you liked it.

Noted. Me too at the time. Don`t want to comment further. Much Love. ❤ Oh Tim shared this video, and commented, and fair play to him.

@@timtheplaneman correct! But keep the location secret 🤫

You are most welcome, and thank you for your generous comments. Let me know how you get on.

Oh,the kit I got for a fiver!!! ...was a Vintage Model Co SE5...plans , glue tge lot....well chuffed

@@timtheplaneman 60.8g all in

@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Yes, just like the 1970’s when you have to fix your car. Hmm I have nuts n bolts left over! 🤔

@@argonaut6386 This was one of my favourites, worked first time too.

@@Theskyislistening yuk!

@@stephenjones-m2c lock the doors !

@@amychoi4311 you are most welcome

That's a bummer. I think my club is registered as a business and a couple of years ago we had a grant from the sports council for 10,000 I think, there were conditions of course. Can the BMFA help to negotiate you staying where you are 🤔👍

Thank you, yes its travelling and the price of petrol, some how I think it was easier 40 years ago.

@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Don`t know yet Cliff, early days and a crappy committee at the helm.

It would be nice to do a 1:1 scale. I don’t have the means of the space. I have a deep respect for those that do. Please tell me more about by our project.

@@thebarronflights It was back in 1976! I only played a small part and never saw it finished.

As it happens, that peaked cap shown was a piss take of Captain Block of the TH-cam channel Petrincic Bros RC. In reality it is a Luftwaffe peaked officers cap. I do as it happens possess a U-boat commander’s hat. I will see if I can dig it out.

In some ways yes, you are correct. But aircraft where in their infancy. Thank you for your comment.

I enjoyed the day too. And thank you for your time. It’s a pity I did not bring my Mic with me.

Just as well…tiger stick under knackers are still on backwards…

I said the same thing to Henry, but may be a new model would be stronger as I just threw this one together. It may break up mid-air. Buy him another one and let’s see how fast we really can make it go.

It’s nice to know someone appreciate`s the effort. Henry is a skilled RC Pilot.

Paul, Thank you for contacting me, well, you may be wondering why The Barron Flights at all? Its quite simple, I was looking for a catchy name that people would remember. So, it’s a borrow from the pop group The Barron knights with a double R. Not because I liked them particularly, but because it has a certain ring to it. I know the Avro 504, and I have been to the Shuttleworth collection. To win the Concours de Elegance Trophy is quite the accolade indeed. I bet your father was quite a builder. I am not sure I could match that one. I will give you a shout out in my next “Flight Club” video. If you are enjoying the series then I hope you will like and subscribe and may be tell ya mates. I make these videos mainly because people are losing the skills that were common when I was a lad. A bit like keeping a nice lawn I suppose. I don’t know everything, no one does, but if I can get people interested in building then all the better. But I have been advised by my club members to do more flying videos, so I am giving it a go. I hope to use humour as much as I can. Well, I have to go to my workshop now, I have to prep some Me 109`s in the hope of encouraging others in my club to fly some spits and Hurricanes for September. Well, that is the plan anyway. Thanks again, I appreciated your time. Nick.

Vimy, Thank you for your question. This is a particularly good question for the Dr1 which is not an easy build for a first attempt. To answer your first question, reference the dihedral, No, there is no dihedral worth mentioning. This is on purpose, a deliberate design to be unstable, because it is meant to be a manoeuvrable fighter. C of G, never trust the instructions, especially with dancing wings. I used the rule of thumb and law of averages, to start, use the middle wing as your base measurement. Divide the root measurement in to 3. Example, if you measure from the leading edge of the middle wing to the trailing edge, and let’s say that is 100mm, you divide that by 3. This equals 33.3 mm. Measure this from the leading edge back towards the trailing edge. That is your start point and register this as your C of G on the middle wing. Remember, every model is different, some are built tail heavy by the modeler, and some are not. Once you are ready to fly, you will need to adjust that position after a test flight a few millimetres, back or forth to get it just right. 🤔Flying inverted will be a great guide because if you have the model trimmed hands off and you fly inverted, and the nose points upwards, then you are tail heavy. Further, also remember, this is a snub-nosed aircraft, the tail will naturally be heavy, so you will need a lot of weight in the nose to compensate. I hope this is of some use to you. Good luck and god’s speed. Let me know how you get on.

@@thebarronflights Thanks Nick. I'm an experienced builder, just the laser cut spars in the kit seem to be shaped for the center ribs to be set at an angle. I have now glued the wings to be flat. Of course there are no instructions.I have a Sato 50 to go up front so should be plenty of weight up there. I may remove some of the ply at the rear of the fuse as there seems to be a huge excess. A gram off the back 10 grams off the front.

@@vimy385 Vimy, my wings join in the centre on the top wing, and so no separate centre section.

Thank you, appreciate that.

Thank you, you are a generous gentleman.

It’s the one model every one should build at least once in there lives.

​@@thebarronflightsWell I bought it....build going well! How did you mount your motor... I'm puzzled... Got a Sunnysky X2212 1400kv...how did you fit yours... Pictures or info much appreciated! Ta very much.

Some people would agree with you. But alas. Most companies are just after your money in this world. But I like my Spektrum and if some chap tried to stop me using it, well we would have to have a little chat.

I would definitely agree that Spektrum is over priced, over complicated and aggressively over hyped. Not to mention not very reliable

I have never owned a Futaba radio, but I would imagine so.

Probably the best radio, in the world!

@@thebarronflights some say, he has the niftiest fingers in the world, others, that he can identify an aircraft 3 miles away, but to us, we call him The Stig! ( aka Henry )

Thanks for your comments. Well, the weather has been very rainy since Christmas here in the UK, and we had a slot of good flying this spring which did not last long as the rain has returned. I did visit NY a few years back, that was a windy place what with the air breezing in off the Atlantic. But I would think up un the mountains there should be some good slope soaring? Talking of which may make a good video, as I have a Spitfire fun fighter that fly’s very well on a slope.

@@thebarronflights It would be great slope soaring were there not the forest, but I have some really great thermal sailing fields. A small 5 acre field is right out my back door & its easy to take advantage of with small sail planes. A much bigger 20 acre field is a 15 minute hike but suits the bigger sailplanes. I actually like sailplanes, slope or thermal, best because it seems a bit more challenging.

Ah, Mr Diceman, how very kind of you to join us… oh that’s a different film. Sorry. Well just the other day it did occur that one or two flyers really could benefit from some soap. And as a double whammy, I may well benefit from some Liposuction myself. So I will have to take a serious look in to that one. 🤔

Yes, as a matter of fact I think it’s the best part.

Cliff, thanks for the comment. Well, that’s the short version of the outtakes. It went on for a quarter of an hour, George just could not get his lines wright. He keeps calling Henry, Harry, I`m Phill and John is Steve. So I just accepted the least worse shot in the end. But we all did get a giggle out of it, and nothing stronger than tea was drunk.

Hello Paul, yes thank you, and the weather gods were smiling too! I have turny bright orange 🍊

is that good or bad? 🤔

@@thebarronflights it was fucking great!

Thank you Cliff. I appreciate that. Top man.

@@thebarronflights One other thought, I might be worth mentioning in the description this is the small Dr.1 from DW, we wouldn't want a potential builder being put off due to the price of the larger one!
