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

She's a BEAUTY! NICE! Great job all round. Finished up with a no.1 landing.
Impresionante. Absolutamente impresionante la «piel» del modelo.
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! 🎉
Thank you very much!

It looks and sounds like a much bigger plane and it looks just awesome! Congrats on the fantastic maiden flight!
Craftsmanship at its finest. We'll done! Great remadien.

Beautiful plane and great flight.
Thanks a lot!
Seems like only a matter of time before a 1:1 scale RC aircraft is in the air!

Excellent maiden congratulations! What was the completed weight?
@@terrys.20 81 lbs dry
Odd that no fast taxy trials were done to assess direction stability before the actual take off?
Taxi tests were completed. On maiden take off roll set screw on tail wheel post loosened up.
Time for a new paint job! LOL 😅

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

I assume it was originally painted that way as a RENO Pylon racer .
