An Interview with Me

- Grab yourself a coffee and sit back and watch me being interviewed by me. I thought this would be a good way to introduce myself to fellow flyers and TH-cam subscribers and watchers. I dare say a lot of you share a very similar story to my own, it was fun trying to edit the video together as well. Thanks for watching.

Great video Cliff, very clever but I didn't think much of the interviewer🤣😂 only joking brilliant👍😄
He's a lot older than me as well Ian 😁
Nice interview, thanks for taking the time. It's great that they caught up with you long enough to let you talk.! You're a busy guy for sure. Greetings from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!!!
Hi Perry, thanks for watching, cheers 😁
3 thumbs up from Cliff's #1 TH-cam gal, Francine from Canada !!! 👍👍👍
Just three 😫
Great interview Cliff, you are very inspiring, thank you for the shout out and for taking time to watch and comment on the videos. Flying Rc is great for the people you meet. I'm going to build one of these days. Jeff in LA USA
You deserve it Jeff, your entertaining style is a breath of fresh air, keep 'me coming ... yee haaa 😁
Cliff thank you so much for the glimpse of the “ man behind the balsa” every video is an education and inspirational to a beginner like myself . I’ve joined a a great local club, so friendly , knowledgable and patient ( LADMAS) in Merseyside little shout out for them all there. Huge congratulations to you on your 3000 milestone it’s absolutely deserved.
Joining a club you like is really the way forward, not only will you learn quicker but you'll have a laugh along the way, good luck Danny and no matter how competent you get you never stop learning and enjoying.
Hi Chris, it was brilliant idea that interview to yourself! Model Flying all the way!! 👍
Thanks Carlos, 'Cliff' 🙂
Thanks Cliff, interesting to watch. Think the Tiger moth should be a glow! Looking forward to seeing the building of that, I would love to build one myself
Thanks Mark. I can put a dummy glow cylinder head on it if that helps 😁
I love your videos Cliff, You do a great job showing the builds. I hope you have a great time in the sky with the Tiger moth and hope you take a video of the flight.
Thank you Thomas, I hope to get some decent footage on the day, seven months and counting 😮
Thoroughly enjoyed this Cliff! You are very inspiring for sure. I find myself watching you do/fly things I usually wouldn't be interested in, and I enjoy it! Got a Micro aces on the way because of you. Really enjoyed your story! I think people that don't have a channel have no idea how much goes in to it when the videos are more polished. My plan when we hit 1000 subs is to give a shout out to some the channels we love and that helped us with their support. How would you feel about being actually interviewed by Model AV8R via zoom/google meet/facetime? I would love to interview you and tell folks about your channel. You have so much to offer the modeling community.
Hi Adam, it'll be a hoot, looking forward to it 😁
Your a legend and an inspiration to all in this wonderful hobby, or indeed those just entering the hobby.
I try and inspire MB but 'legend' is taking it too far 😁😁😁
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes nó Cliff seriously mate you are a legend, just think of the amount of people you have inspired. It's exactly what this hobby needs.
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanesalso check out Julius Perdana channel another great builder mainly using foam especially his Piper Cub the detail he put into it is just beautiful
@@madbren We're all legends one way or another I guess!!
@@madbren Yes, I subscribe to his channel already and have been following the Cub build, brilliant guy.
Great interview, fascinating! However, not so sure about the guy asking the questions....LOL. Thank you for sharing!
I'll have to sack him Pat, thanks 🙂
You had me going there Cliff. I thought I was seeing double!! Nice edit and interesting to hear about your early days. Not that dissimilar to mine in many ways. Like you I hoard models. 54 and counting! I'm slowly renovating a Mercury Tiger Moth that belonged to my Dad back in the 70's . It was a Mills 0.75cc powered free flight bur will end up a 3 channel electric.
The seventies don't seem that long ago really Bob, do you know what KeilKraft had to do with Mercury?
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes No. I always thought they were separate companies.
Brilliant video. Its nice to get a bit of background.
Thank you Olly 🙂
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes keep up the good work.
Brilliant video mate.
Your very kind 🙂
The man, the myth, the legend.. 👍
Thanks Dave 😁😁
Looking forward to the Tiger Moth, autogyro, and further Guillows. I would love to see you do a Comet, Taylorcraft, 54"WS in RC.
Three very nice planes David 🙂
Very good Cliff! I think all of us pilots have very similar stories. I use to structure videos as you can tell in my earlier videos but after my computer crash and reload I lost my editor. My replacement editor is too complex for my liking so now I just upload the raw flight, start to finish, which I actually did in my earlier videos. I was able to cut in stills with the video's which I really enjoyed. But you are a talented balsa builder. I just mostly fly foamies but love being able to do it! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Ricky, I enjoy editing but I enjoy building more 🙂 especially balsa, I think a lot of foamy fliers would enjoy it as well.
Thanks cliff noticed your new video while I was stuck at w#%k this morning ,brightened up a very dull day
Don't mention the 'w' word Mike, cold shivers. Anyway glad it did some good 👍
I had a similar experience when I was about 8 years old. (About 1974) Dad had his prize Top Flite Nobler hanging in the garage. It was beautiful! Of course, I was curious about seeing it fly, so I took it down, and tossed it down the driveway. It flew great, that is, till it landed and broke the tail section off. Oops! Needless to say, dad was pretty upset.
😩 Well, I think we all do silly things like that when we're young Frank, he probably got over it eventually and look at what you're up to now, he'd be well impressed 😁👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes he did. He taught me everything I needed to know to get started in the hobby. He was impressed. Dad passed away in September of 2017, but he loved seeing the progress of my builds. He told me I did a better job covering, and building than he did. Made me feel good. I found a Nobler kit on eBay. I’m going to build one just like the one I crashed, and hang in over his burial flag in the house. It’ll never be flown.
A note to the editor Cliff. WOW, How did you get Cliff to open up and share all that awesome talent? Would you be so kind as to say Thank you for me. :)
Message passed on Doyle 🙂, I had to pay him a lot of money 😁
My wife bought me a flight in a tigermoth for my 50th. Crumbs that was fifteen years ago. Well I never got the flite, it was the windiest day ever and when it came to my turn the trigger on landing broke her wingtip. Still we had a good day at Duxford.
That's a bummer, but they still take old blokes up so there's still time 😁
Hi Cliff, I hope you made Cliff a cuppa 👍
Funny you should say that Jon, he left muttering something about 'didn't even get offered a cup of tea', oh well, he won't be back 😐
2 "Cliff's" in this world, "just doing his stuff", I don't know if the world can handle that? HA HA, fun vid Cliff.
Thanks David, it was a fun attempt at editing. There's another Cliff in our flying club so that makes three!
Maxfliart, I wish he would write a book.
I agree, but his videos will have to suffice. I wonder what he'd call it anyway? 'The Art'?
Greets from the Antipodes Cliff. Seems you must have balsa and glue in your jeans.
Oops! I meant 'genes'!
Very good Jo, and do you know what ... glue doesn't come out and the balsa dust blocks my little hoover filter, otherwise my genes are clean 😁👍
So you were 6 so how many years ago was that
55 Robert, seems like another lifetime 😁
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes so your 2 years older than me I stared on cotrol line @12 the rc about 21 then retired at 30 ( kids) But love watching you build these planes never tried FF
@@robert43g You don't need much of anything to get a little plane in the air and the returns are a hundred fold, give it a go you won't regret it Rob 🙂
I think all airplane builders are "hoarders".
Umm, but I only hoard planes 👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes That's what I meant, I need to live to be 200, to get all my airplanes built.
You didn't even mention paragliding, (20 years ago) paramotoring and microlighting! Very disappointing. I remember when we were on local BBC tv and you said 'well you've got to die sometime'. (Didn't know you had a twin brother though Cliff? )
But seriously, interesting to hear how you got into RC stuff. You were so lucky to have a dad who was into that.
@bobflyman Well it was about model flying Bob, and yes, good old Dads, shame none of my little ones got the bug 🙂
