I didn't see a single Hun machine anywhere. Snoopy is doing a fine job protecting your field! I really enjoyed your video. Looks like a very nice build. The DH2 has been one of my favorites from WW I, and your model looked great in the air.
Thanks Adam, as long as she gets back down safely it's a good maiden, I'm happy with her she's been a fun project especially as a collaboration with Nick, he's a good egg 😁👍
She's delightful I must say, 'a whole fleet', umm I have a two Dr1's, two Camels, Nieuport 11, Frokker DVII, SE5a, Sopwith Triplane and another one to build, oh and another DH2! Cheers
Having finally flown an R/C airplane several times myself, I see you're an excellent pilot. You are very smooooth on the sticks. Realistic flying is my goal as well. I am going to go back and find what build videos you have posted and possibly a build log on a forum somewhere, but I need to ask how you make it sound like an airplane? My Turbo Timber sounds like a Cuisinart. Possibly the difference between a wood airframe and a foam one?
Hi Ken, thanks for the comments, trust me I wasn't as smooth as the video may suggest 😁 I do you believe balsa models sound better however this is a pusher so it sounds a little bit different anyway. I haven't done a build video for this model yet I've still got to edit all the clips however my friend Nick (Barron Flights) who is linked in the comments, has built one as well and he started uploading his build videos if you want to check them out 👍
Thanks Ian, one model flying it could be a fluke but both of them ... must be a good design, Mike Roach knows a thing or two about designing model aircraft, cheers 👍
Really beautiful finish! You sure like your adrenalin take offs ;) I am sure it looks pretty much like the real thing. You could try some black and white editing ... Thank you for sharing!
Awsome job Cliff mine was hit and miss on take off as well (mine is rudder only) does exactly the same thing I will be interested to see how you get around it Cheers
Thanks Kim, I found if I use a standard lens on my hat cam the image is smaller and it's easy to miss the action so I'd sooner see a distortion, not ideal I know but this is my experience, thanks for watching, cheers 👍
You cant beat a Cliff or is it Snoopy maiden flight. It was interesting to see it close up at our club meeting this week and discuss your various design features, like those very effective torsion bar ailerons. Just a thought - wouldn't it be nice for you to also build the last De Havilland design DH.128 VTOL jet to show the DH design transformations over time.
Slow down the footage to 50% and it would look very scale-like (ah, I see you did that 🙂). Record at 60FPS and the half-speed will look smooth. Winner winner, chicken dinner!
Nice build of a fascinating aeroplane. I understand why a wide-angle lens might be of service when shooting your model in flight, however, as you no doubt know, such a lens makes objects appear to be smaller. What you gain on one hand, you lose on the other, as with much of life and physics. If you can, you might wish to slow down a scale model of an aeroplane that strained to reach 93 mph, 81 kn) at sea level, and likely was mostly flown at closer to 75 mph (65kts), similar to the airspeed of a Piper J-3 '"Cub". This is always a problem with smaller scale models that seem to flit about and zoom past like an F-16. Doubling the size of your DH-2 would likely result in a far better and more realistic flying model. Cheers
Yes, I've tried a standard lens but it's difficult to keep the model in the frame especially with a fixed focus and no zoom. I'm envious of people of have someone to film as they fly it would make the video so much better, oh well! The big models certainly take a lot more of everything, including space, which, unfortunately now is becoming a premium, thanks for your advice, cheers
She flies better th an reports of how the full size ones did, from what I have read. You need a large one gas powered so she sounds right. I know that they are ridiculously priced. I would love to see a DH 4 also.
I could dub over some nice engine sound effects Kirk (just for you ... and me of course!), the DH4 isn't modelled very often, I see a lot of other aircraft of the era in the DH4, cheers 👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes That would be cool hearing the engine. I know it isn't really worth it. I happen to love a DH4, it looks all business. We used them well into the 1920s so I don't know why they aren't more popular.
A really nice looking model. Flies really well. Jolly good.
Many thanks George, Mike Roach is a great designer 🙂👍
been a wile cliff, grate build very nice looking!
Thanks Jes, she's a classic and great fun to put together 🙂👍

Thanks for watching Roger, I have some build videos I've yet to edit, cheers 👍
Outstanding Cliff. Congratulations on a wonderful maiden. You gotta be so happy/proud with that... Will
Absolutely am Will, she's a wonderful machine to model, especially as she's a 107 year old design 😯👍
Good to see your doing your usual aerobatics on the maiden well done Cliff
I try Rob 😁👍
Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks 🙂👍
Excellent Cliff,well saved at the start,lovely looking model and well made 😎
Thanks Bob, the saves were just reactions ... good to see I still have some 😁👍
Congratulations Cliff! Nice flights, and, you can’t beat the pilot!!
You got that right Pat 😁👍
Lovely Cliff. Congratulations.
Thanks for your commenting, cheers
Well done Cliff, good work!
Thanks Bob 👍
Cliff the plane looks great in the air and on the run way well done mate 👏 👍
Thanks Tunny, I'm pretty chuffed with her, cheers 👍
What a great maiden flight Cliff! Very nice build. Love it when a plan comes together!
Thanks Adam, as long as she gets back down safely it's a good maiden, I'm happy with her she's been a fun project especially as a collaboration with Nick, he's a good egg 😁👍
what a lovely model! great prescence in the sky. Now build a whole fleet!!😂
She's delightful I must say, 'a whole fleet', umm I have a two Dr1's, two Camels, Nieuport 11, Frokker DVII, SE5a, Sopwith Triplane and another one to build, oh and another DH2! Cheers
Nice one Cliff, it flies a treat!
Thanks Richard, I'm pretty pleased with the way she flies, and especially looks, in the air 👍
Another great Job. Well done that man. 👍
Thanks Stephen 👍
Cliff wow, fantastic build and what cracking maiden flights. Looks great flying. Well done sir. Jeff in LA USA
Hi Jeff, got away with it really but it can only get better, thanks 👍
What a lovely model, Cliff... and Snoopy did a great job with all that pilot-type stuff 😃😄
Thanks Gina, it's always worth having someone else to blame just in case! In the end though he did ok (for a dog), cheers lol
Woof woof! @@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 🐕

Mein Glückwunsch, ein sehr schönes kleines Modell. My congratulations, a very nice little model.
Danke Rolf 🙂
Wonderful a beautiful model 👍👍😎
Thanks Rolf 😁👍
Very nice maiden flight Cliff, looks fab In the air!! Very nice build too!! Nick's maiden flight was very nice as well, all around great job 😀👍
Thanks Ian, one model flying it could be a fluke but both of them ... must be a good design, Mike Roach knows a thing or two about designing model aircraft, cheers 👍
CONGRATULATIONS!! Another great project. Love your videos, I learn something new every time.
Hi Guy, thanks, I know what you learnt this time ... take off into wind lol, cheers
Beautiful model and great flying! I think I might take this on as a project sometime soon. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub Steve! The build videos are linked at the end of this video and the plans are on Outerzone linked below, Happy New Year, cheers 👍
Fantastic flights from a great build. Really dose look great in the air. Another masterclass series. 🫡
I'll have to get on with the build videos soon ...it's all back to front! 😁👍
Looks beautiful in the air as well as on the ground, snoopy needs a bit of training on take off😮
Thanks Gary, he'll get there 😁👍
That was a scarry start, nice plane and video mr .love this ww 1 planes😊
Thanks a lot! 🙂
Great flight.
Thanks Gudjon, I can relax a bit now 👍🙂
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nicely done!
Thanks Some Guy, love the green flying helmet, cheers
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes I drew this in GIMP many years ago, been using it ever since.

Thanks Andrew, a little adrenaline never hurt anyone, good idea on the black and white thing, cheers 😁👍
Very nice Cliff!
Tempted to build a foamboard one the same size 🤔 😊
Thanks Mike, if anyone can make a decent job of it it's you 👍
@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Thanks Cliff...that means a lot coming from you! The Maestro! 😊
I bit wobbly at first but looks real fine in the air.. a very lovely model Cliff cheers!
Thanks Jerry, she nearly bought it but a bit of luck saved the day 😁👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes sometimes it's better to be lucky than good 👍
I like it it seems like it flies nice
It really does Paul, I've still got to settle into the cockpit if you know what I mean but she seems very smooth 👍
Very nice!!!
Thank you! Cheers! 👍
Awsome job Cliff mine was hit and miss on take off as well (mine is rudder only) does exactly the same thing I will be interested to see how you get around it
Cheers
I suppose one could mix in some rudder for a given throttle setting, I'll have to do a few more takeoffs before I decide on that course though 🤔👍
Great video she looks great against that sky ,wonder if the sharp snap to the right is due to torque in reverse
I was wondering that as well Mark, perhaps I'll try throttling up a little slower next time and see what happens 👍
Loved the model and its “look”. My only nit pick is the fish eye lens used on the camera, would have been better with less of the distortion caused.
Thanks Kim, I found if I use a standard lens on my hat cam the image is smaller and it's easy to miss the action so I'd sooner see a distortion, not ideal I know but this is my experience, thanks for watching, cheers 👍

Thanks Rob, would this latest plane you're talking about have a pusher propeller, if not I'm not sure it would be my cup of tea 😁👍
@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Unfortunately it was to be the DH version of the H.S Harrier VTOL.
Slow down the footage to 50% and it would look very scale-like (ah, I see you did that 🙂). Record at 60FPS and the half-speed will look smooth. Winner winner, chicken dinner!
I think I'll try 60fps Bruce, thanks 👍
A much better second flight (haha) nice going!
Thanks Daniel, I agree, first flight you're always a bit on edge 🙂👍
Nice build of a fascinating aeroplane.

Thanks Ouzel 🤗
It flew wonderfully!!! You should see my takeoffs 😬😬
At least I caught it before it cartwheeled Oliver 😁👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes true. It definitely could’ve been worse.
I think you need a smaller prop Cliff that thing is producing a----lot of torque.
I have got a smaller prop to try, it'll be interesting, either that or a little offset thrust?
I'll take that maiden,
It nearly didn't thoush Dan! But all was well in the end, cheers.

NIIIIICE 👌🏻
Yet to fly on a calm day, should be even nicer 👍
I thought Snoopy flew a Sopwith Camel?
Snoopy graduated to a Sopwith Camel but he didn't necessarily start with one. 🙂
I thought he flew a dog kennel 🤔😁
See my answer to Richard Charles 👍
