Thank you Horst for your movie and posting it. I am builder and owner of the engine ( and its flying yellow-white test bench)To answer some of your questions: OF COURSE the engine will be in a Warbird next. It has now about 50 flying hours without a single fault, except problems with the first ignition. I designed a redundant ignition system now with 4 Independent coils and electronics, These early problem should be sorted out for good. That's why I test the engine in a Trainer. Next to come is a Focke Wulff FW 190 D9 in 3,4 scale (3,1 m wingspan, 3 m long)And yes, one day there will be a V6 engine of the same design, the cast parts are already in my shopCheers Detlef
Detlef Kunkel _Thanks for the additional information, Detlef !_ 😎
Keep testing if it brings the V6 closer to operational status.
Detlef Kunkel nice sounding engine! Wow I could listen to it without watching it fly! Great work and beautiful too!
Detlef Kunkel all I can say is well done and has a cool sound, keep up the good work and I'll bet the V6 will sound even better ...
Much respect!
Horst, that is a superb piece of miniature engineering and beautifully made as well. Thanks for posting, and yes, the pilot did an excellent job flying through that very strong wind. Cheers, Dougal
Incredible! And again, thankyou for not putting crappy music to this. The sound is awonderful!
Das ist eine absolute Meisterleistung, so einen Motor zu planen und herzustellen, sodass er auch für die Praxis und nicht nur für die Vitrine taugt. Dahin zu kommen ist mit vielen Mühen und leider auch Rückschlägen verbunden. Einen donnernden Applaus für den Erbauer !!
Kerstin Müller Kann ich nur bestätigen. Ich habe gerade einen V8 mit 120cc gebaut. Man braucht wirklich viel Geduld für so etwas.
Flo _Wo kann man das Meisterwerk im www bestaunen?_
What a beauty and the sound was amazing,can't wait to see this beauty in a FW 190,the mouth waters. ;-)
Thanks for sharing as always.
exceptionally good engineering with an outstanding result! - congratulations
Wow! What an engine, what a builder! I read that the final destination for this engine is a Focke-Wulf Fw190 and I can think of no better home. The engine is so beautiful it should never be covered by a cowl. Thanks for making a great video to share this engineering accomplishment. Thumbs up to everyone! 👍👍
Cheers, Bob 😎
I dissagree.. sorry. FW 190 should have a radial 5 cyl. Moki and this in an ME 109 That i can agree to. ;))
@@Romin.777 Yeah seems like an odd choice. Fw-190D perhaps, that would suit better.
My father was a tool and die maker and he would have loved the end result of all the hard work put into this motor....congratulations on an outstanding job Detlef
The motor is outrageous. Nice flight and a beautiful aircraft. Thanks for posting.
One of the coolest looking motors I've ever seen. Great job, Detlef Kunkel.
Superb effort Detlef....talent like this enables the engineering community to hold their heads high.
That engine is just plain awesome. I would love to see it in a war bird. You guys did a fantastic job!
Thanks so much for not putting some shitty music on this video drowning out the sound of that awesome engine.
Afterburner _The only music I want to hear on my videos is the one of the engine._
*Thank you for watching and commenting!*
second. Id rather listen to the distant engine and wind noise than some lame music. super dope engine starts up like a champ!
Amazing, the sound is amazing, spectacular, thanks for the video. Congratulation to Detlef Kunkel for his engine.
The engine runs as good as it looks, nice work. Plus the camera work was some of the best I have seen on TH-cam 👍
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it. 👍😎
You guys have taken RC planes to a different dimension and your own engine, AWESOME !
Absolutely magnificent. No need to apologize for the wind, it takes a skilled and confident builder to take their pride and joy out on an obviously windy day to test their creation. You know you have a beast of a motor when you need a gear reduction transmission. And that "flying test bench" is one heck of an airplane. Can't wait to see more test runs and then see it in it's final home. Looks like a modified blower belt pushing that prop. I've been in the hobby/sport for going on forty five years and have never seen anything like it. Is she something you may put on the market, or at least her plans. If not , I understand, she is your baby and I will content myself to admire from afar. My '62 VW only had 35 HP. LOL Thank you for posting and God Bless from Florida.
FANTASTIC!!
What a phenomenal engine and a home built engine?!? MAD CRAZY SKILLS!!
And the landing in high winds tells the story of a EXCELLENT and accomplished piloting skills as well!!
Congratulations, Sir, on a Job Well Done!!
Color me envious!!!!
_Thank you for your kind comment. Yes ... that engine is awesome!_ 👍😉
A 4 stroker, that is one insane piece of engineering work! WOW! Extremely impressive!
She sounds wonderful...great blue sky as a background. A challenging landing no doubt but it was done nicely in that wind. Thanks for sharing that bird with us.
Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated !!!
Only passion, talent and time can make such an impressive thing. Much respect to the builder, this plane sounds and flys awesome !!
*_thank you for your kind comment !!!_*
Congratulations to the owner of this magnificent machine.Well done to all the great work you have done,and all those people that helped you on the way.The motor was awesome and certainly beautiful.It was a pleasure to watch it fly.Thankyou for sharing.
Thank you very much! 👍😉
I'm just going to say that is by far the coolest thing I have seen in a long time, beautiful work, sounds great and is some of the nicest machine work.my hat is off to you sir a perfect 10 🤗
Sounds awesome, and it cuts through the high wind very well too.
WOW, what an accomplishment. Thank you for this video!
Köszönöm ezt csodálatos bemutatót !
Fantastic model, ingenious engine construction with great sound and much power. Congrats!
WOW!!! Love that engine. A closeup of the engine looks like a real full-scale engine for a crop duster.
Great sounding engine! Superb manipulation of the controls! You are to be congratulated, sir.
What skill and craftsmanship.Love that distinct V sound.
Looks and sounds fantastic, great work!
I am feeling a bit 'tongue-tied'. Awe-struck. Detlef, I have seen hand-made engines running on stands many times and imagined them powering a model airplane. Now, here is yours, perhaps the most impressive of them all, actually in an airframe and performing masterfully; with an incomparable sound.That it is flying in a testbed makes perfect sense. I'm glad that I became aware of your effort at this relatively early stage of development and look forward to seeing your V-6 and your engine gracing other airframes. I am a child of the 'space-race'. I have loved aviation and modelling from the time of hand-launch gliders, rubber-powered tissue models, control-line and single-channel r-c with 134 v dry-cell tube transmitters. I have followed the hobby for almost 50 years now, mostly from afar. I just want you to know what great admiration I have for what you have done and are doing. If it were in my power, the whole world would be able to share my appreciation and joy for your accomplishment and inspiration. In my 'perfect world,' there would be award-wining documentaries detailing what you and have accomplished and what were the 'causes and conditions' that supported you.I would hope that others might come to understand and appreciate how to develop the curiosity, attention, effort and confidence to excell in whatever inspires them.
Hi Peter, thank you very much for your compliments and your appreciation. it is very motivating when someone really recognizes the effort behind such a project. And you are right, this engine was never made to just run on a bench. It was intended from the beginning to power some huge warbird, and creat this unique sound. Once again, thank you!
A beautiful engine. Well done on such a fantastic project!
Amazing plane and engine. Props to the guy shooting the video, great job!!!
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the flight. 🤙😎
Awesome !! I love the engine sounds
That is a thing of absolute beauty and poetry - I am awestruck!
Thanks ... Glad you like it. 👍😉
I thought he was crazy taking off in that wind! Finally got it down with no damage. What a beautiful engine. I agree, stick that baby into a P-51D airframe, they would be perfect for each other!
Thank you for your kind comment which I really appreciate.
The last updated version of the Phoenix engine will take place in a FW-190 D version.
As soon as it will be ready I will upload a new video.
Very impressive engine. Congratulations and well done to the builder.
Great sounding Engine, Thanks Horst for sharing big thumbs up..Tim
Shaver racing engines along with scat made a v4 205ci methanol engine that I ran for years in my dirt midget, the sound is absolutely unbelievable. As is this plane ;) fantastic job
Da steckt mal Arbeit dahinter,sehr schönes Modell und der Sound TOP. Daumen hoch danke Horst. Grüsse aus Zürich.
What an awesome sound that beautiful motor makes,very nice work.
To say I'm impressed is a gross understatement.
It's got a nice sound to it and flies well in the wind. I especially like the belt drive as it looks like a blower
Wow! Very nice plane and engine! Love the sound and performance of it!
_Thank you for your great comment!_ 😉👍
I give you credit flying in that wind. Beautiful job with the bird.
_Thank you for your kind comment !!!_
Thank you for publishing Detlef's beautifully designed and produced engine, and also for showing his bravery in flying it in such blustery conditions!. Clearly multi-skilled and talented.
As with motorcycle engines, sound is so important and this sounds excellent! Too many cylinders at model engine RPM just don't have the right sound IMHO.....although those also deserve full marks for design and machining excellence, of course! :)
This engine sound is music for my ears !! well done.
Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated !!!
This engine run well and sound good!..Nice work!
One of the best RC planes on youtube!
Loved watching this engine come together on RCSB, and of course his other models... a modeler apart!
Thank you for leaving the video with the original audio - regardless of the wind. A seriously amazing piece of engineering
V12 next?
So neat with the nav and landing lights. Beautiful engine, sounds like a '32 Ford V flat-head.
looks great!, sounds great!. Really a big and awesome job!
Very nice motor! And I am partial to high wing planes as well! Nicely done Horst...as usual:)
Excellent engineering, I wish I had skills like that.Well done
What a beauty, it looks so crisp, perfect build 10 out of 10
_THNAKS !!!_
Awesome job on this project, love the sound
Thanks a lot. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍😎
Just seen this video, great work on the engine. Ever thought of making a scale Merlin. Thanks for this 👍🏻
_Thank you for your kind comment !!!_ 😎👍
WOW!!!!!! That motor sounds like a BIG V8 or something. Lol. Awesome video my friend!!! 👍🏼👍🏼😃
_Thank you for your kind comments, brother. Glad to know you liked the video !!!_
One of the best home built engines I have ever seen. Absoloutly beautiful detail.
Ron, thank you very much
Ronald, Thank you Sir :-)
Hey Horst, wieder setzt Du zwei tolle Modellbauerprodukte sehr gut in Scene. Einfach Klasse, was die Modellbaukollegen so alles fertig bringen. Und durch Deine exakt Arbeit können wsir das alle sehen. Danke dafür. Der Peter von Usedom
Congratulations on a great engine, awesome sound that is perfect for those large scale warbirds that don't run a radial.
I love how that sounds and fly's. Beautiful aircraft.
Pulsejet Lover _Thank you for your kind comments!_
RCScaleAirplanes Thank you for great content.
Sounds amazing!
magnificent motor! wow sounds so very good! great pilot in such high wind also. great job keep building your very very good we need more like you!
That engine on a go kart would be the pinnacle of cool. Some peoples talent blows my mind👍
You did a wonderful job on this plane! Good going! 👍🏼
That engine is legit, and it sounds great!
Beautiful engine, great work!
Great engineering sounds fantastic MODELERS like this is a credit to our hobby. Well done all round. 👍
Thank you John :-)
That sounds awesome!!
beautiful plane and the clouds are perfect backdrop
Beautiful plane and the engine sounds fantastic.
Absolument pharaonique
Un v4 en modélisme du travail de spécialiste passionnés
That engine sounds incredible.
Sweet! Look at the high winds. Seemingly effortless flight in strong wind conditions.
_Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated !_ 😎👍
Very nice video and a very very nice engine. sounds amazing, cant wait for the v6 version of it god luck.
That looks and sounds AMAZING. Pulled through that pretty strong wind no problem. Well done
Thank you dave :-)
Detlef Kunkel you are welcome
WOW, what a beauty! Nice job.
Thanks to Detlef's turbulator I have two great running Moki 215's. I have not personally met him but, through communications, he is a great guy. Hey Detlef, I got a Moki 257 and it is a marvelous engine! Tom from US.
Hi Tom, Thanks for the kind words. Nice to hear from You. Small world this is .-) I still wonder why you no not fly a Phoenix engine (yet) :-)
sounds amazing! Looks to have plenty of throttle response too. Can't wait to see your V-6. I think it would be perfect for a P-51D or a Spitfire.
I do like the sound of that engine . Seems to have good power also .
nice job on the engine! great sound!
Sounds amazing!!!
_THANKS !!!_
RCScaleAirplanes Hello, I am wondering what oil you run in this engine, as well as what type of fuel? It seems this would be an ideal application for a full castor or castor/ester blended racing oil, with short oil change intervals. I apologize in advance if the answers are obvious, but I'm new to RC two and four stroke engines as well as castor lubricating oils. I love this engine by the way.
Lemon Coke _Sorry for my late reply._
You might ask Detlef. His post is pinned at the top of the comments.
*Thank you for watching and commenting!*
Congratulations Sir! Wowwwww! Very great job a GOOD looking motor!
Nice work... You know all about the balance pipe I see... Great machinery
Hi Michael, thank you so much. But to be honest, If I knew all I would not have to try out different lengthes and designs. I find 200 or 300 rpms between the different exhaust layouts. Still not quite pleased, looking for the best densest sound in the air, thats why I would like to build a marving like 4 in one exhaust, collecting underneah the oil sump and leading between the main undercarriage with a quite big diameter tube. ( if you know motorbikes of the seventies and eighties)
Detlef Kunkel they call them collector boxes... Mainly used on the V4 and inline 6 motors... If u can look up the honda VFR400 it is a rather simple design but u may have to change it a little cause ur motor is inline with fuselage and not oriented like a bike... Best of luck and lovely bird
Sweet sound. Looks quite fast too. Very nice.
Thank you. Glad you like it.
The sound of this engine is unbelievable!! Great work!!
Very cool exhaust sounds!
Thank you Sir :-)
Well thats impressive beautiful motor and great sounding awesome big plane good flying too looked pretty windy 😀👍
_Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated !!!_
great engine, awesome work!
Time to build one you can get in and fly, the design seems to work very well!!!
Judging by the wind sock (and corn) wind was rather nasty ... makes flying very tricky, not to mention getting it landed!. Definitely wise to test in the high wing plane.
The engine is just incredible - as a machinist I can well imagine the immense work gone into it.
Superb quality engineering. The best sounding r/c plane on TH-cam!
An engine Cowling would finish that plane off nicely..
Thank you very much!
Great workmanship. Bravo
_Thank you !!!_
Well done indeed in such windy conditions 🇬🇧
That's The Best Flying Duccati I've Ever Heard or Seen! That Sounds A'flippin'mazing! And Powered Through That Wind So Easily! Orders For These Are Going To Skyrocket! ✈🇺🇸
_Thank you for your kind comment, which I really appreciate !_ 👍🏼
忙
Absolutely beautiful airplane and the engine on this bird is truly a work of art. Beautiful flight, great sounding and strong engine perfect landing 😊👍👍 💯%
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for your kind comment.
@@RCScaleAirplanes Your very welcome. Would be awesome if he made a little turbocharger or supercharger for it.
Bravo - well done. Totally amazing.
