Beautiful scratch built RC Flying Boat | Short S.26 Golden Hind | Built and flown by Michael Roach
Michael gives a lovely demonstration of his Golden Hind before giving me some details and especially why this model is of such significance for him personally. Exceptional aero-modelling and a privilege to film it in action.
Filmed by Dom for the Essential RC TH-cam channel using the Panasonic HC-X2 Pro 4K camcorder.

well done , great to experience the flight even though it was from my living room , as an additional piece of information I used to work on Duxfords Short Sunderland

[@DDGVET4]

When these planes were first built it really was the "golden age" of aviaton.

[@michealtaylor1946]

Even the geese were impressed!!

[@rudolfarenstorff3326]

Amazing model. This is the reason why I am a modeler. I want to watch a scale model in slow flyby's. Reminds me on my Sunderland. Thx Dominic ! Cheers Rudi

A grand plane such as this deserves inside camera views, cockpit, passenger area and out rear windows! ❤

[@daxdadog]

That last landing was a thing of beauty!

[@malexpeterson]

Outstanding job on the build and the flight. Must be extremely light to fly like that.

[@johnmay6090]

We used to have the old WW2 flying boats in Sydney and they used to fly commercial flights to Lord Howe Island.

[@reckemroysrc3764]

[@fondawilliam8371]
