There’s something with your voice which makes me want to listen to you, it’s like a voice from Hollywood or radio station, great videos with the way you explain and show things we need people like you sir!
I know, right? I'm in my 50's and haven't built a balsa model in 40 years and only flew control line in the 1970s. But I just can't stop watching HobbyView's videos. Something about his presentations makes me smile inside and out. 😃
I remember when I was younger I wanted to get into this. Then finally when I was in Highschool in 2007 my Stepdad and I pulled the trigger. We were halfway done with building it and he passed away from a bad heart. I never finished the plane as I couldn't bare to look at it. I really wish I would have stuck to it.
No better way to pay homage then take that step and build one and put it in the air. Sorry to hear about your loss, but the best we can do is remember and keep moving forward.
Looks like it flies very nicely. I had an f6f built from a great planes kit many years ago, with an OS91 four stroke. Beautiful flier. I do think scale models should have engines rather than electric power plants though 😁
Hi loving your videos, thanks for taking the time to do these and bring us so much pleasure, I make plastic kits and do flight simming on the PC - one very small thing the aerial on the F6F slants forward not back! Keep up the great work.
I have mine built but in lockdown so I have time to add some details like exhaust pipes and a 3D printed radial engine and landing lights. I had a Corsair but when landing from the east it disappeared when dropping in front of the trees and I flew it into the ground.
Glad to see you did a follow up video. What a beautiful plane. Again, its nice to see you flying it with electric instead of fuel. I made the switch a few years ago and do not regret it. I remember battling many cranky engines. I think mostly it was because I got hand me down engines from my brother's wrecked planes. A bent shaft never hurt anyone right. Nice flying! I bounce on landing because I am used to dirt or grass runways, not paved. I fly at a glider field and really enjoy it. No trees!
Love your presentations. So informative and entertaining! Only one criticism my friend...that antenna mast is backwards! The Hellcat mast has a distinctive forward rake like the Wildcat OR it has no rake and is just straight. Again, great job!
Good looking and flying sport scale, nice assembly. Your radio may allow flaperon mixing. Would not expect a huge change, slightly slower, slightly more stable.
0:50 That's our PredB UAV airframe. Where are you flying from? I can't tell what the livery is but I wonder if that's our DHS-CBP customer flying by at a low altitude.
what type of video camera did you put on that Hellcat which i notice one looking towards the pilot in the canopy and other one was under the the plane looking forwards at rear landing wheels?
On the second landing I thought you was going to do a go around. I watch you put it together, I didn't want to miss her flying. I have never put anything together like this, I am wondering about the motor (?) Could you had use a gas motor ?
Hanger 9 planes are top of the line models. He didn't go cheap with anything although most guys swear by Futaba. Spektrum has really come a long way. He stayed away from the safe receiver which in my book is the smart move here. He didn't need it anyways. Eather way, soup to nuts including transmitter, receiver , battery, plane and other electronics probably close to $1,500- $1,800. Still cheaper than fuel powered engine. Would have pushed it well over 2k.
Great to see a Hellçat in flight...I can only imagine what my dad saw when he was a kid in the Philippines...a dogfight between a Hellcat and a Zero while gun shells are dropping from the sky.
That's 100% exactly how Grumman aircraft were designed and built (and expected) to be landed. No shame. Up to and including the F-14, they were renowned for being indestructible tanks.
Nice video! One of these came available for sale here in NC. I’m considering the purchase but would like to fiberglass this model to customize the plane and reduce the need for touching up the covering. With that said…are the wings and fuse fully sheeted with balsa that a fiberglassing job would be straight forward? Thanks
That was really cool. I watched the build video the other day. I don't do RC anything but I find it interesting. Is the class of model flown in the video recommended for novice flyers?
just started watching your channel and I love it thinking about getting my first plane and was wondering if this trainer would be a good start ... FMS Sky Trainer 182 1400mm RTF
I had just watched your build video for this a couple hours ago and was wondering if there would be a flight review on it. Iv really enjoyed the videos iv watched so far.
Hi. I'm a really new fan in this discipline. I would like to know how much money do I need to buy this model of plane with the remote control and all this? Please, and also yo know que te can I buy it on line...
Just discovered your channel. I have been modelling scale aircraft and other subjects for about the last 50 years but never ventured into RC. Your guides and commentary make me want to have a try at it! This Hellcat review (and the build) was excellent... though I had to wonder why you included the German National Anthem at the end! Would you recommend this model for a beginner? Assembling the model seems to be a snap, but how about flying it? Perhaps a beginner should start on something less expensive in the event of a nasty accident...?
Could I trouble you for the inside dimensions of the cowl? I have the older Hanger 9 Hellcat and am trying to figure if the new cowl will fit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks..
You can put a 3-blade on it. However, two blades are more efficient. I had actually planned to try a three blade propeller on it but couldn't due to technical reasons.
I have flown mine with a 15 x 7 x3 prop and a 16 x 8 prop. The two blade prop gave me a much better performance and three extra minutes of flight time with a 6S-5000 Smart battery.
This Plane looks incredible. That was a beautiful skip over the puddle Landing. I loved that.
Thanks for your input I will get one
Bro, I don’t even how TH-cam got me here but I’m so glad it did! This guy is awesome and I’m loving these videos! Keep up the good work dude!

You're like the Bob Ross of airplanes, love your vids brooo
“There’s nothing wrong with having a plane as a friend.”
Yea Fitz is like "I'll just add this happy little plane kit to my garage over here.."
Awesome ! And Sir that laugh as you were flying is one of the best I have ever heard ! Thanks for sharing .

Where has this Dude been all my RC bird life? Love this guy!
you're a good narrator i could listen to you read the ingredients in a box of cereal
The way the sun glints off the fuselage, really special. Good job!
It actually makes a good first war bird because of the hellcats stable design
I am glad i have found this channel. You are a king.
Hah, hardly. I'm just a guy who really likes toy airplanes.
HobbyView me too man, maybe more of a captain of the vessel haha
I love your positiveness. The world needs more people like you!
That's sweet! I'm in the process of trying to decide between the H9 Hellcat or the Seagull models T-28.
Looks like it flies very nicely. I had an f6f built from a great planes kit many years ago, with an OS91 four stroke. Beautiful flier. I do think scale models should have engines rather than electric power plants though 😁
Thoroughly enjoy your content. This channel should have many more subscribers. Here's to continued quality content and viewership!
I've been waiting for this one. Excellent lockdown viewing. Thank you.
So glad you popped up on my feed new fan here had just watched the build of the hell cat
That was an excellent landing. You avoided all the puddles perfectly.

Total success on this project. Love the F6. Nice job on your video and flying.
Man that thing really climbs like it own the skies, I like those old warbirds.
I love all the sounds it makes

My favorite plane. Something about the wing shape and it's aggressiveness that drew me to it as a kid.
A very nice build and review of a fine looking plane. All the best from Australia
i can tell how happy you are with this build Great Job it's Pretty Cool
Now to put the Model Sounds Inc sound system into it. It's a great system. Nice flying by the way.
outstanding shipmate. Thankyou for supporting this fun hobby.
Did you say 10x8 prop @7.42! Are you sure that's right? Sounds really small for that size motor and size/wt of the plane.
It should be a 16 x 8 prop.
Love your presentations. So informative and entertaining! Only one criticism my friend...that antenna mast is backwards! The Hellcat mast has a distinctive forward rake like the Wildcat OR it has no rake and is just straight. Again, great job!
Satisfying conclusion to your great build video. She’s a beautiful bright blue bird. :D
new Video... MUST WATCH IT INSTANTLY!
Good looking and flying sport scale, nice assembly. Your radio may allow flaperon mixing. Would not expect a huge change, slightly slower, slightly more stable.
0:50 That's our PredB UAV airframe. Where are you flying from? I can't tell what the livery is but I wonder if that's our DHS-CBP customer flying by at a low altitude.
That was near Ellington field in Houston.
I really enjoyed your 2 videos with the Hellcat. Thank you
what type of video camera did you put on that Hellcat which i notice one looking towards the pilot in the canopy and other one was under the the plane looking forwards at rear landing wheels?
Well, "Grumman" always sounded a bit Teutonic, if you asked me...
It's been a pleasure to watch, thank you, Mr Walker!
Nice video! Love the knowledge and info from your builds and video's.
Expert level plane , and you made it look like silk. Great work and skill!
Great Job with this model plane man! Looks like a blast
The onboard camera footage was great
On the second landing I thought you was going to do a go around. I watch you put it together, I didn't want to miss her flying. I have never put anything together like this, I am wondering about the motor (?) Could you had use a gas motor ?
Sounds as if you have a stall warning buzzer Fitz?
You make it all look so easy - You sir are a Master!
I think it would be a nice touch to tell us what the whole kit and caboodle - soup to nuts - workbench to air cost is for a model like this.
Hanger 9 planes are top of the line models. He didn't go cheap with anything although most guys swear by Futaba. Spektrum has really come a long way. He stayed away from the safe receiver which in my book is the smart move here. He didn't need it anyways.

The Airforce loves your vids too. Livefeed from the Reaper Drone
Excellent piloting skills. Impressive!
The german anthem at the end... Looks like the pilot's not very good at keeping secrets ;-)
lol and u didnt watch that red and white bracelet under the workbench...
Beautiful flight Fitz!
Try putting an arrestor cable across the runway to avoid the puddles!
Hey, your landing missed the puddle... end of story. A perfect landing. It looks fun to fly.
Great vid! Well edited. I was gripped!
Could you add a four bladed prop to make it look more realistic?
Nicely done. I like your laughing as you fly You remind me of my father a plane nerd.
Why not the original 3 blade prop ?
Very pleasant video sir. What camera did you use inside the plane? Please let me know how to mount it, thanks
Great to see a Hellçat in flight...I can only imagine what my dad saw when he was a kid in the Philippines...a dogfight between a Hellcat and a Zero while gun shells are dropping from the sky.
Indeed. Must have been quite a sight.
That looks the model runway out at JSC!!
Excellent video! Is there a Hanger 9 20CC Mustang in your future?
Nicely done
10x8 Prop? isnt that a bit tiny for this size plane?
really nice looking plane,and a great bld video thanks
Excellent video. I love all of your videos. Great flying too
Hi ,would you be able to give some details in regards to the onboard cameras ?Also why the 2 bladed Prop instead of a 3 like the real thing ? Thanks

Main issues is that the wings are open structure:

@@HobbyView copy that! Thank you for the reply.
Have you tried out the Hangar 9 20cc P-51?
Could u do a video on how to fly 1 of these
I’m new the RC planes... what camera do you mount onto the model for in flight video?
now I want one awesome build
I’m new to RC and never really looked at planes before. Does the cc refer to the size of the plane? I was expecting it to be a gas engine
no pushrods?
That was really cool. I watched the build video the other day. I don't do RC anything but I find it interesting. Is the class of model flown in the video recommended for novice flyers?
How on earth did you get those 3 onboard camera views?
just started watching your channel and I love it thinking about getting my first plane and was wondering if this trainer would be a good start ... FMS Sky Trainer 182 1400mm RTF
FMS is a Great Brand.
Thanks for the excellent review
I prefer the full build myself over arf. Actually prefer building them over flying them. Enjoyed your video and the puddle skip was cool
Great flight video. Thanks for the upload.
Hello I'm 14 and I want to learn how make these and fly these. Right I'm making little model planes, what would you recommend?
What’s better, this or the 1500 mm mustang?
That intro was great!
Nice flying!

Nice build and flight!
Could I trouble you for the inside dimensions of the cowl? I have the older Hanger 9 Hellcat and am trying to figure if the new cowl will fit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks..
Roughly 180mm wide by 220mm tall
@@HobbyView Thanks looks like I'm out of luck. I measure 240mm high. :(
I think you meant to say 16-8 prop, right?
Great flying skills!
Very nice job! What a great hobby! Looked like a carrier landing!!
what rates did you use?
This may be a silly question but why do these aircraft only have a twin bladed prop instead of the 3 bladed the real thing has ?
You can put a 3-blade on it. However, two blades are more efficient. I had actually planned to try a three blade propeller on it but couldn't due to technical reasons.
