Things like this are built all the time. Don't get me wrong, I have never built anything like this and I'm not saying its easy (I'm more of a helicopter guy). I'm just saying there's lots of smart people out there....
Of all the impressive RC planes I've seen on YT, this is, hands down, by far THE most impressive plane ever. The way it hovers motionless is mind-blowing.
Wow!! Been flying RC since 1986 and this beyond anything I could have thought. Serious skill, patience and perseverance needed to accomplish this. Cannot wait to see transitions from hover to flight speed and then back again.. Wow!
this is the most impressive RC plane i have ever seen. I can't imagen the amount of work that went in this to get it that stable. My hats of to you sir.
To see the full size is amazing but for you to make this in a Model form is even better and the hours to make everything work in miniature form is excellent well Done
Amazing that someone spent a lot of time & money to build a plane like this . After you fly it a few times its a shelf queen. Better have a big shelf .
I spent 3 years working on the F-35A/B/C back in 2003-2006. This model really captures the correct workings of all of the doors. BTW, it was a pain to make all this crap work IRL.
I’m sorry that Will not happen with the bigger scale composite models of F-35B and budget, Cost too much lipo energy wich is not possible to use bigger lipos because of weight, and to expansive for turbine solution. In my budget only normal take off->> inbound transition to hover and vertical landing is possible.
Wonderful Joel, you be very proud...Awesome effort...And congratulations to Melanie for putting up with you for 11 years...LOL...Well done, both of you...
It’s very quick Joel! So impressed but we need a yellow tinge to the canopy ☺️ Looks so real now, felt like I was watching Ted Conningsby with the f35b’s he had landing there in England a few days ago with the F15ex’s. Great video mate 👍
CONGRATS! Now I really want to see a transition flight! 💪 From VTO to hover to level flight, and from level flight to hover to landing. It's about time to serve us a full course instead of piece meals.
@@nickhayley why would you think I’m lying? Thousands of people worked on this project. I was an engineer and worked at China Lake Naval Weapons center and from 2004-2011 I was the Navy’s comm Nav engineer in the F35 program office. I went to Lockheed in Ft Worth a bunch of times since Lockheed was the prime contractor. Its was exceedingly frustrating because Lockheed had way too much power and that caused the schedule delays and budget overruns. So although I did mostly flight test I don’t feel like I contributed as much as I had before because of Lockheeds contract vehicle and the power they had to ignore the customer us the government. If you don’t know where it is google earth China Lake in Ridgecrest California. My son is an engineer there now. He was born there went to college at cal state and went back
@@jimsteinway695 Go team! The vertical hovering seems like it would burn a lot of fuel. My guess is that the engine speed is fairly high during maintenance of hover or taking off from ground. Is that fair to say?
@@monteaustin1006 I dont know the fuel burn mechanics. I was a Nav Comm engineer. But both this aircraft and the Marines Harrier aircraft (another program I worked on) would be similar but I know the Harrier injected water to increase the thrust during hover. They didn’t spend a great deal of time hovering except landing and leaving the LHA boats they are on . When you think about it, it is an engineering marvel to hover. But the maintenance on these B models is more than the A and C models because of the hover technology. It also can’t carry as much payload because if that but then again their mission is close air support just like the Harrier. So munitions don’t have to be huge because you’re dropping close to your own Marines. They’re the ones calling in the strikes. I was at Fallon once with some SEALs and they invited me to a training exercise where they called in some strike and strafing run to a target they were marking. Live small diameter bombs and it’s scary. I’d rather be in the laboratory
This would be a big seller in the model aircraft world if it were mass produced. Many enthusiasts are waiting to be able to purchase a VTOL EDF model at a reasonable price because the nearest model airfield with a hard surface runway is often too far away.
Heel gaaf hoor! Wat een machtig schaalbeeld heeft die kist zeg! Nou de transition nog! Maar dat lijkt me een beetje sketchy. Lekker vliegen en je kist leren kennen. En het belangrijkste, meer video's!! 😁

Dude you BUILT this?!?!? I'm in utter disbelief. Absolutely beautiful build. I cannot imagine the time and headaches that went into to this.
Shut up skeleton. And yes, it is a beauty.
Things like this are built all the time. Don't get me wrong, I have never built anything like this and I'm not saying its easy (I'm more of a helicopter guy). I'm just saying there's lots of smart people out there....
Everybody is waiting to see a transition now. It hovers beautifully and flys beautifully so the transition should not be such a risk anymore.
But I’m scared to crash it now, want to enjoy for the next month and than we go for it❤
Do it for the fans😂
Do it you scaredy cat 😂😂😂😂
@skeelo69 you are awesome!
@@Joelmelanie Could you somehow reduce risk by starting with tethered testing?
Of all the impressive RC planes I've seen on YT, this is, hands down, by far THE most impressive plane ever. The way it hovers motionless is mind-blowing.
Outstanding! You sir are a mechanical genius. Thank you for sharing. Wow!
Everyone should applaud this young man. He worked his ass off since 2013. If he isn't a true example of dedication, I don't know what is.
Wow!! Been flying RC since 1986 and this beyond anything I could have thought. Serious skill, patience and perseverance needed to accomplish this. Cannot wait to see transitions from hover to flight speed and then back again.. Wow!
I personally don't like the F-35, but I absolutely admire the work you've done and love the results!
I have never seen such an outstanding model. Beyond impressive. Outstanding work!
A very impressive achievement, congratulations on successful first flight.
this is the most impressive RC plane i have ever seen. I can't imagen the amount of work that went in this to get it that stable. My hats of to you sir.
Very impressive! I can understand the challenges involved but your persistence has paid off...well done Joel!

Joël you’re doing our country proud! So cool to see this wonderful piece of engineering and hear Dutch conversation in the background! 😎☀️
Hahah you heard it!
I spent 3 years working on the F-35A/B/C back in 2003-2006. This model really captures the correct workings of all of the doors. BTW, it was a pain to make all this crap work IRL.
Awesome!
This is the best RC ever, please sell the plans or a kit.
This is a masterpiece.
Spectacular craftsmanship!, i could only imagine the amount of hours that have been put into this masterpiece.
years an years
Excellent build. The transition is the last [and most difficult] part. Waiting with baited breath.
I like to see the vertical take off and the maneuver to horisontal flight.
Great job, congratulations

Wow, it's finally flying!!!
Trully amazing. Outstanding quality! Please make more so I can add this to my hanger!
Unique Masterpiece in the World. Congrats from Venezuela. Go Ahead!
Magic in the air !
this is awesome, best of luck with the transition stage, cant wait to see you complete this!!
Nice to see you off the concept table and actually in the air. Congrats on the hard work and diligent effort.
Fantastic build!
Well done. The USMC and Lockheed Martin should hire you for events.
Grats Joel, Lockheed should have you on their team! Beautiful a/c, and very smooth flights 👍
that is the coolest drone i have ever seen. that is an impressive engineering accomplishment!
Congrats, I remember first seeing your videos like 7 years ago and I know you have been working on it a lot longer than that!
Indeed! 2017 we had the first moulds, but is started in 2012
That's astonishing! Congrats, great work!
It's been a long road getting there , but wow ! Been a fan for some time , rooting for you. Take care.
You are the best, missed you
Fantastic to finally see it fly after all this time! Great job man!!
A fabulous engineering marvel. Perhaps the best to date.👍👏
WOW! I never thought I would see that jet as a fully functional RC model.
It's not fully functional. It doesn't transition.
@@gutsymoviesit does he just didn't to not crash it lol ( he said that in another comment )
Phantastic built. Congratulations. Do let you urged on regarding the transition. Do it in your own time.
Fantastic model. The engineering and craftsmanship is top notch.
This could be the coolest model I've ever seen!
It’s very quick Joel! So impressed but we need a yellow tinge to the canopy ☺️ Looks so real now, felt like I was watching Ted Conningsby with the f35b’s he had landing there in England a few days ago with the F15ex’s. Great video mate 👍
OMG dude, ive been watching this for so long, well done
Love this project
Dude, it’s beautiful. You did it!! Enjoy it go fly the heck out of it!!
CONGRATS! Now I really want to see a transition flight! 💪 From VTO to hover to level flight, and from level flight to hover to landing. It's about time to serve us a full course instead of piece meals.
Hobbies like this are what living is all about! What an amazing project, ✌🏼❤🌍
amazing build! you could sell this as a kit/plans and I'm sure people would buy it.
you put in a lot of hard work. its shows. well done
That is such an amazing build! Congratulations to you
great build ! she flies flawlessly.
Wow! That´s it. This is absolut impressive.
Super cool Joel, it's so nice and stable!
YYEEAAAAAAARRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOO COOLLL!!!!!!!!!
Amaaaaaaazing!!!’
NO WAY FAR OUTtttt🎉🎉🎉 CONGRATULATIONS❤❤🎉🎉
As a guy who worked on the real F35 program ,I applaud your work
Damn. If this ain't an outright lie (and you were just in administration or payroll), I applaud you, too.😂

Way cool! Thank you for your time.
amazing build, and nice flying. congrats!
Beautiful job, Melanie.
Looks epic , when the full transition is perfected then i will print one
Beautiful airplane, congratulations! Looking forward to seeing you master the transition from vertical to horizontal flight.
I've watched so many of these... and this one is gorgeous. I've never seen one transition either to forward flight or from forward flight.
Congratulation! (...and the sunset, or is it sunrise, is excellent too.)
Still loving your work, I’ve really enjoyed watching this project develop, congratulations!
Thankyou🙏
Very very good love it.Keep up the good work.
that's wild, outstanding job!
Well done!
Thankyou🤓
@@Joelmelaniewhats the music from your instagram video of this jet?
Your F-35B has successfully to fly with VTOL
Congratulations WELL DONE
amazing performance !
Amazing! 🫡
F35Bのラジコン操縦技術抜群です！
（ケムトレイルで青空がさっぱりですね）
Awesome!!
Great video and F-35B Lightning II.
Realy cool and outstanding ...Congrats... The transition from floating to flying is very difficult to realize I think ?
Sweet model, very nice!
Nice work and flying, would love to see a turbine model one day. Wow, fast, quiet, and smooth
Really amazing
Totally awesome
Veryy veryyy IMPRESSIVE bro
Congratulations, very impressive.
Fantastic I am so pleased for you 🎉 .... what happened to the harrier
Impressive!
That’s super awesome!
Way Too Cool!😮
Wonderful!
Amazing! Respect, good job! 👍
Bonjour vraiment exceptionnel 😮 il est magnifique ! Qui le fabrique ?
Me
this is amazing, congratulations!
Excellent work!
I hope some movie makers hire you for some F35 scenes!
*******************BEAUTIFUL*******************
Absolutely fantastic build ! Your next mission now is to put a genuine turbine jet engine to send the likes into the stratosphere.
🇦🇺 Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!
One word. Masterpiece❤
Amazing!!!! Very cool 👍

Is the video jumping or is it just my TV?
Video stutters every second on my laptop. Poor.
Y'all are looking at this absolutely phenomenal build and all you can think about is "video quality"? You're ridiculous.
Heel gaaf hoor! Wat een machtig schaalbeeld heeft die kist zeg! Nou de transition nog! Maar dat lijkt me een beetje sketchy. Lekker vliegen en je kist leren kennen. En het belangrijkste, meer video's!! 😁
Precies dat
THATS DOPE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now here’s the next thing you need to do. Get an FPV camera on a gimbal get the head track and goggles and put the camera in the jet
You must feel chuffed to bits
Incredible 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
5:26, looks like a diferent model. I can´t see the small fans on wings and the patern is diferent.
