Nearly 105000 clicks in 10 days. That's insane. Thank you all for your positive feedback, for all your likes and wonderful comments. I've didn't expected this and done my best to answer them all 😀❤
It was pointed out to me that the Provider did not participate in the Berlin Airlift. That is correct, as it did not fly until 1953 and I apologize for this mistake. As a real Berliner, I should have known better. However, there are reports that the USAF flew with the C-123 Provider to Tempelhof Airport in the late 1950s and a photograph from www.planepictures.net/v3/show_en.php?id=595278 shows a USAF Provider at Tempelhof in 1964. The city airport was returned to Berlin when the US left Berlin in 1993 and Tempelhof become a civilian airport. In 2008, flight operations ceased and Tempelhof Airbase, this important symbol for Berlin with his long history was closed 😥
Depending my "Bookie Bird" .. there will be a sequel 😉
p.s. if anyone is already interested in the landing gear .. please contact my mechanical engineer vanek05@seznam.cz and ask him for an offer.
That's the reward for your hardwork
Very welldone Oldah Holzmichel. 🖤✌🏿
@@ddraser Vielen Dank mein Besta 😍dit is mein Rock'n roll 😊💓
@@LarsBaeter du gehst konsequent und Deep. I like Go Siri ist Flyin ✈
Echt klasse .
Danke dir auch für die Geschichte die dahinter steckt.
Meinen Aufrechten Respekt .
Teuer aber Genial.
Hoffe der Flieger bleibt lange Heile 😊👍
Du Rockst gut ab 😉
Bin auch 64 ger und Flieger verrückt .😅😁
Tell me you're one of Europe's finest engineers without telling me you are one of Europe's finest engineers 😲
Thank you so much for this wonderful compliment Bert and I am truly honored 😊❤ but I believe there are many more who do this like me or better and may just not share it 😉
You really mastered all of those mediums. I built RC planes in high school but never, ever thought we would have cnc routers, 3d printers, and laser cutters in our homes. What an amazing time to be a hobbyist.
Thank you very Much Matt 🙂 I feel the same way like you. I've been building model airplanes for decades without all this technology and software and today I feel like Alice in Wonderland with these incredible possibilities 😍
It's crazy, my 3018 router/laser just shipped today. Now binge watching many chs to see what can be done.
Good morning! I want tô a project
Thank you Very much! Have a nice Sunday!
I was a hydraulic mechanic on the C-123 in Vietnam in 1969-70, Flight Controls, Landing Gear. Was not a pretty airplane but a great flyer. The ground troops sure love to see them coming in full of supplies. The turbines were J-85 jet engines. I loved working on this airplane. Easy to get to every thing.... well easier than a jet airplane, that is. Love the build. Great job. Great persistence and patience. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Tom for you kind words and for sharing your memories 🙂 It's really wonderful to meet people along the way who have worked with the Provider or flown it. However, please excuse me if I do have to disagree with you 😉 because I love the shape of this machine and think the Bookie Bird is sooo beautiful with its voluptous curves 😍 .. and I really hope that my Provider also flies as well as the original ☺
Used to be one at Marana airport in AZ. I believe Evergreen used it in the 80s in Central America. Great aircraft.
Extreme dedication. People like you help me keep going with my own little projects, thanks!
Thank you very much. I am happy if this project is motivating for you ☺
Absolutely fantastic, Lars. I love doing the same, from plans to Fusion, CNC and then enjoy building it. Hats off to you!
Thank you Michael. As I finally mastered Fusion a dream came true. Anything we can imagine, we can now build. Wishing all the best for your projects 😃👍
Unbelievable built! So much dedication. Really fantastic, Lars!
Beautiful craftsmanship!
fabulous documentary. I'm still designing and building, at 70 thanks to inspiration like this. well done!!
Thank you John ☺I wish you a lot of joy and much success with your projects and .. don't stop 😉
What an inordinate amount of detailed thought and work. Quite an achievement.
Thank you Garth 🙂at a certain point there is no way back 😅
Wow what a plane, looking forward to seeing the model restored to its former glory and being flown. 👌
This is how I thought my Gillows stick balsa and tissue models would look like when I built them 50 years ago! Each build was better but covering with the frame with included fraile tissue was challenging to say the least! I have not built with sticks in 40 years, but your video has inspired me to get back to it! Your words at the end were quite humble, point on, well grounded and inspiring! Thank you so very much for sharing this with us! May I add you did a very nice job with the video and a most amazingly excellent job on the construction itself! Bravo Sir, Bravo!
Many, many thanks for sharing your memories Michael ☺ I used to build Guillows models myself and still love these filigree models. I also have a kit of an Avenger from Guillows lying here, which I still want to build. After such a big project I need a break and want to go back to my roots. These wonderful little models are a very special challenge and a wonderful way to fill lifetime with joy. 😍
I've been wondering myself, they are so much lighter, so perfect for electrics.
I don't know how I managed it without super glue back then. Waiting and waiting for that nice smelling glue to dry.......
OUTSTANDING!!! Nothing else describes your build of this aircraft! I got the chance to jump out of one of these during AIRBORNE school in 1981...your build has brought back fond memories! Cannot wait to see the next installment of your C-123! Thank You! V/R Chuck
Thank you Chuck for your really kind appreciation and for sharing your memories with us. It was certainly an exciting time for you back then 1981 and if I got the chance, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to fly along as well. But I would prefer not to jump off 😅The next clip will be shorter again and show the "Paintjob". I'm still working on it.
Beautiful craftsmanship 👏
I flew in these aircraft during my two tours in South Vietnam. A true work horse that could hold it's own. Really enjoyed watching your build, awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you James 😀Praise from someone who has flown in the Provider himself is a special honor. I am truly dedicated to keeping the machine cherished.
Thank you for your service James!
Built with patience and love! Very well done Lars!!!
Thank you very much ☺ and yes, love is a very important component. Whether you have patience or not ... after such a project you have them in any case 😄
Can't wait for the next video. Amazing craftsmanship! Im amazed that people like you can do stuff like this
Thank you very much 🙂Something about 2 years ago, I also did not know that I would one day build such a model with these amazing new technologies 😀
@@LarsBaeter Haha yes maybe, but it's still *you're* brain that came up with all of it so you get all the cred anyways :) Keep up the amazing work man, im cheering! :)
I remember building balsa models with my uncle when i was 7 or 8. watching this brought back memories. and now you can design and build from home. i can not wait to see the final product and under power. thank you
Thank you Zach for you kind comment and I will naturally report on how the project is progressing 😊
1/12 scale!! I can't wait to see her fly! Amazingly complex build.
Thank you Cory for your kind words 🙂 I can't hardly wait to get the plane flying either, but I'm also pretty nervous when I think about the maiden flight 😬 😄
Excellent
Work of art!
Young boy , brilliant work .
Lars, Congratulations on the fine work you have accomplished. Work and discipline have gotten you to this point, and you should be proud. This is an inspiration for me personally and for my upcoming project.
Thank you for the really kind words ☺ If my work and this video can be an inspiration, it's a great gift for me.
What an incredible job. I am so blown away with your craftsmanship. I need to up my game.
Thank you for your praise 🙂 I think I just have a lot of patience too and a lot of things didn't work out on the first try 😉
Exceptional craftsmanship on a beautiful aircraft subject!
Many thanks 😊
Congratulation from Switzerland, wonderful realization !
1966 and 67 i made many parachute jumps from c-123s, ft bragg and other places. love that airplane !
Great workmanship and dedication, this video is very addictive watching and I can't wait to see it painted and flying.
Thank you so much for your kind comment. The machine is now ready, but unfortunately it has not flown yet. In fact, it is much more difficult to overcome me to take this machine to our airfield. I think I will need some more time to take this step 😏
Gorgeous model. Built well so it will fly well.
Many thanks and .. keep your fingers crossed for me 😉
Beautiful work.
Nice work and kind satisfying watching all the skeleton pieces get assembled and covered like watching a piece of art take shape
Thanks Mick for the pleasing comparison ☺ I'm happy that you like my work and the video 😀
Extraordinary work. She's a beauty.
Thank you very much. I am also very happy that the work was worth it. btw. I like your NickName 😄👍
Speechless!
The micro-switches in the nose landing gear blew-my-mind completely. I'll be re-watching this video for years to come.
Thank you very much Captain Gary, also for your kind appreciation 😊 I have had a few sleepless nights, depending the nose gear. But it works, at least on my workbench 😄 By the way, I made a video of the design of the landing gear doors. Did you noticed it: th-cam.com/video/S7gaqClNBjQ/w-d-xo.html
There are builds, and there are quality builds!
Great work!
Thank you Mitsos for you honoring comment ☺
Gillows, that takes me back in time. I was born in 1952. Pactra Dope fumes & Ambroid Glue. I built a beautiful Gillows Bristol Bullet - the tissue job was perfect - I just did not have the courage to fly it. I put it on the top of my dresser drawers & departed for Embry Riddle for college & flight training. When I came home for a trimester summer break, I almost cried. The sunrise every morning used to shine through my bedroom window & the beam would pass over my model. Well, it warped the upper wing & separated both ends of the wings from the outer wing struts - it was impossible to fix. I tried every trick in the book to warp it back into place with no joy. The last time I saw it was 1975 when I came home from the U.S. army. Those Gillows models were delicate.
Your model in this video is beyond awesome; it is pure artwork...! It takes super human patience to create a model aircraft like yours...!!! If I had created a model aircraft like the one in this video - I'd be strutting back & forth in my hobby shop patting myself on the back...!!! Count on this comment as a pat on the back from an old Gillows model airplane model maker...!!! 😊
this is a really nice build ! It is rare now on TH-cam to see someone building with wood !
Amazing work! Congratulations, and thanks for sharing!
Thank you Adriano 🙂
OMG… for someone not trying to better than others your accomplishment is outstanding!! Not only is the design and build of the plane is incredible but the video is superbly done ! Very impressive !!
Many, many thanks for your kind comment and compliments. I am very flattered. I thought that such a unique project also needs a decent digital legacy and have also put a lot of time into the video. I hope to take some more time soon for the 2nd part as well. The machine is already finished ... but not yet flown.
Wonderful. You are an inspiration. I am looking forward to seeing it flying.
Thank you Andi, I am very happy if the video is an inspiration and I am also very excited to see how this adventure turns out 😃
Beautiful, thanks for sharing your work!.
Thank you very much. btw. I like your Boomerang Project. Awesome job😉👍
@@LarsBaeter Appreciate that, hoping to maiden the boomerang within the next month or so
@@meakins355 Keeping my fingers crossed for you
Amazing work. Keep building. Following
Thank you 🙂
You are a Master builder.
Awesome build of an incredible aircraft not many people know about, now we just need 11 more to have the whole plane. Thanks for sharing, you have the patience of Job.
Thank you for you kind words even if I don't understand all of your comment. But am appreciative the attention and your nickname speaks volumes 😉 I hope that this machine will not fall into oblivion and that the last flying exemplars will tell the story of what she experienced. It definitely deserves its place in the ancestral gallery of beautiful transport machines.
I've re-watched the main gear animation a dozen times. 🤓 Great video!
Thank you FJ 😄 ❤ let us hope, that it will work before landing in the same way, like in the animation 😅😉
Вот это инженерный подход! Огромный респект, мужик! Жму руку!
Спасибо за добрый комментарий. Я строил подобные модели в течение многих десятилетий без всех этих инструментов. Для меня это тоже был новый и большой опыт. Я не хочу делать это по-другому.
Ganz, ganz ehrlich, unglaublich beeindruckend.
Vielen Dank Sophia 😀 Ich freue mich sehr, dass Dir der Clip gefällt ☺
This video made me giddy. The visual lines of the airframe skeleton are immensely pleasing. I love the relaxing tunes and your incredible skillset. What a wonderful video to find, this made my day. Thank you, enough words for now, here is some applause 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I really feel very honored 😃and thank you very much for your applause. I am very pleased if the video is so inspiring for you 😀I'm still working on the machine and will make a video of the finish process before I make the first flight 😉
That is awesome. You are way better then you give yourself credit for. You have way more patients than i could ever have. Can't wait for the next installment.
Thank you Lon for your kind comment and I'm feel very honored 😊❤ I am already working on the sequel in which I show the finish 🙂
Incredible project, congratulations !!
Thank you 🙂
Hey Lars. What a supeb work! I salute you.
What a beautiful work!
Thank you Tasso 🙂
brilliant job
Thank you Jose 🙂
Very nice, beautiful build. Just building a cnc setup and you have got me a little more motivated😀
Glad to hear Jeremy that my video was motivating for you 😀 I wish you all the best with your cnc setup. With Fusion (or any other 3D program) and a mill, you can build anything you want.
Such an impressive my grandpa makes rc models his hobby and does it the ol' classic way
Best wishes to your grandpa 😀He does everything right. Do-it-yourself is an art ❤I have been building model airplanes for decades. Only from blueprints, always from wood, with a jigsaw, a cutter and a lot of sandpaper . In my mid-50s, I spend all my savings and started completely new again. Welcome to the future. I love it.
Well Lars as a Race Car builder with many cars under his belt, I know more than most how difficult it can be when building things from scratch! It’s always that last little bit that takes the longest, what I call the “jewelry” all the little things that take up so much time! You have done a great job so far!
Thank you for your kind comment and you are absolutely right. Starting something is easy, finishing it is the real art 😅
Absolutely. Amazing. 👍😀😀
Thank You Steve 🙂
Amazing video and work! I don’t tend to comment, but the dedication and craftsmanship on this video really make me want to congratulate you. Thank you for sharing such a great model and building process, your hard work and beautiful words at the end inspire me to dedicate some time of my own to my projects and builds.
Thank you very much Estyben, for your kind comment 😍 and I am very happy if my video is inspiring. Of course I build model airplanes to make them fly ... but most of the satisfaction for me is in building the model ... it's all about being able to do something by myself and combining many skills 😊
Super great job. I’m hooked for the whole ride.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much Scott and I'm pleased that you liked my clip 🙂
Da hat wohl wer nen Nagel im Kopf... Danke für das tolle Video ... kann es kaum erwarten, das fertige Kunstwerk fliegen zu sehen ...TOP
Nun, ein Nagel würde ich nicht sagen 😂 aber sicher ne Menge Holz 😉 Vielen Dank für den netten Kommentar. Die Maschine nähert sich allmählich dem Finale🙂
WOW!!! Amazing work!!!!😀
Just incredible ! You ignited the love of balsa build in me.
Many thanks and I'm really happy to hear that and if the video had a good purpose, it was hereby fulfilled. Wood has been true for decades and still is today, a wonderful material and light and strong when used properly. We already live on a plastic planet, we don't need to make it worse 😉
@@LarsBaeter absolutely agree with you.
Fantastic work! Looking forwad to the final reveal!
Thank you Daniel for your praise 😊 It's amazing how the overall impression changes with every detail I add now, but a few months it will probably still take until the final 😌
Master Builder .. Extraordinaire..a very well done indeed.. 👏
Thank you Russell
Amazing job - keep it up!
This is awesome. Well done!!!
Thank you Matthew 🙂
wow what perfect work very nice
Awesome !
Its amazing
FANTASTIC! I CAN'T WAIT!
Thank you very much Shelby 😊 To be honest, I don't know if I can hardly wait either or if I would rather postpone it a little longer 😄
Excellent 👍
I agree with the gentleman I'm 75 in about 12 years old I went to the Hobby Shop and they had a B-25 I wanted it so bad saved up my money worked 3 MI once a week to give him my 50 cents when I paid for it it was a solid wood kit that's what I built my first sticking paper airplane to watch your work bring tears to my eyes keep up the good work
Thank you John for your kind words and sharing your memories with us ☺ A nice story that I'm sure several modelers here probably know from their youth as well. I am one of them 😊 I hope you will continue to enjoy building model airplanes in the future. Don't stop with it 🙂
Very very cool work! I loved the wiring! Not sure why I got that out of your video...just was in awe.
Thank you Jeff 😄 In fact, so far no one has said that. Very pleased if you liked the wiring. Just like to have it neat 😉
very nice job Lars ! the plane and the video.
good luck for maiden !
WOW ! Way above my pay grade. Really looks great ...
Thank you Gordon 🙂 I too was not born rich and have to work hard for my money 😉I have put my savings of "a few years" into this project. Others spend maybe the same amount for a two week vacation in Hawaii.
Wow what dedication.
Thank you Tony ☺ creating something is a very satisfying feeling ❤
Well Done!
Lars, you've done an amazing job. It's wunderbau.
Respect
Excellent work. Certainly motivates me to complete my scratch build, 2.75m Fairey Gannet AEW3 ! Thank you!! 👍
Thank you and I'm happy if my clip motivates you. A Fairey Gannet is also a really rare "Beauty" .. I wish you all the best and a lot perseverance for your project 😀👍
@@LarsBaeter thank you. I look forward to seeing your maiden and next videos.
@@ralpharrow9377 Hi Ralph. Thank you for your interest .. I am already very excited and want to get the machine in the air 😃Still need a little patience
That was cool.
Nice work!
Mad Skills !!!!!
Thank you James 🙂
Very well done sir
Respect !👏
Thank you .. btw. nice Nickname 😅
Wow, looks really great!
I've only made foam and 3D printed planes, and i think Balsa construction looks incredibly fun.
Thank you Vincent 😊 se the material, whatever you like. It does not matter, as long as you get pleasure from it. We live on a plastic planet. Wood is a natural, renewable resource 😏
Wow, that's a lot of detail work, for such a splendid aircraft, awesome! With all that hard work put into it, I think all I could do is make it a static display model, which I think I'd really enjoy as well. PS: I'm pretty sure if you sell this as a kit, you'd get a lot of customers!
awesome!
In 1970, I hitched a ride with Royal Thai Air Force C-123 into Saigon. Very memorable flight. Jim
I am sure that the flight was a special experience. If I were given the opportunity, I wouldn't hesitate for a second either. However, I fear that a still flying exemplar like "Thunder Pig" will not visit us in Germany 🤥
You deserve the clicks. Lots of interest for good modelling.
Lovely job!!
Many Thanks Christian 😊
Very nice !!
Cool build up !
Thank you Jukka 😊
wow. great job. Never stop, think big. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much Rocktex. I'm feeling honored 😊 Everyone can do what he wants to do, it's his time. Personally I think that life is too short to stay below your potential. Dare to do great things .. and if I fail, I stand up and give it another try
That is so cool 😎😎
Super !
Makes me want to get back to my models that have been waiting for me.
I would say, well go ahead and don't keep them waiting any longer 😉
what a fantastic build Lars, spending a lot of times & dedications. Can't wait for the next video & of course for the maiden flight 😃. Great jobs!😬👍
Thank you for your kind comment 74 Tech 🙂 Many people have something with which they like to fill their free time ☺ Model building is my way to relax from work. The machine is nearing completion and I am already started programming the electronics.
Great your Project
Thank you Bernard 😊
extreme!!!!!! kudos
Thank you very much Antonio ☺
