Awesome . Simply awesome flight, and control ... But you "liked" your own post?
@@BobBilheimer Yup. Because it was THAT awesome.
Not shying away from badaasery definitely deserves another thumbs up from me 👍👍
Essential RC .
I'm 71 years young and when I was a kid/teenager living in Pennsylvania, I had airplane models hanging from my bedroom ceiling. My prized model to the TWA Super Connie. The Super Connie was one of the most beautiful and sleek airliners of the 1950s. I remember riding my bicycle to the Harrisburg, PA airport where the TWA Super Connie would land a few times per day. I never had a schedule, but I knew to be there at about 2pm in the afternoon. Your RC model is one of the best I've seen on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing your video.
It still is!!! Sleek, ellegant airplane. Besides the old Concord, nothing comes close to it :)
Thank you for sharing. I agree that the plane is lovely, and I enjoyed reading your comment.
it’s a very beautiful aircraft, and in my opinion, is the prettiest Propeller driven civil aircraft in the world
The most beautiful plane ever made, elegant. I am only 61 years old and although I never flew in one of them I still think it's an icon :)
That pilot is a masterclass unto himself. Precision and control personified.
This model has to be seen to be fully appreciated,its a piece of aeronautical engineering in its own right,well flown too in less than ideal conditions.
Absolutely impressive. To pilot such an aircraft so smoothly after 5 years of blood, sweat and tears is really a testament to the skills of the chap at the controls. Well done.
what a superb build and sounds so good in the air too
Almost sounds like the real thing!
My favorite aircraft ever constructed! The beautiful Lockheed Constellation!!! The first to jump Continents so successfully and the first to make flying at higher altitudes so successful! A beautiful and magnificent aircraft, from Lockheed!
Super Connie !!!
In the air, it Looks 100% real.
But how did Mitchell manage to make the engines sound so good?? It sounds like a real airplane!!!
Coordinated turns! This guy actually knows how to fly!
I remember these when I was young. They were THE plane of the day. Never got to fly in one. They were out of service by the time I got to travel.
Cheers! Well Done!
The Super Constellation is the sexiest airplane ever built, and this is one of the most impressive R/C planes ever built, congratulations!!
Thank you for this post!
The Sexiest! I couldn't explain it better! It was a beautiful aircraft!
A sexy airplane? You need to discover women.
你说了些狗屎
A magnificent model, a lot of work on it and an expert pilot- builder Mr.Keith Mitchell...Sir !
Dear Dom, you're like Santa Close ... always bring beautiful presents to good fans.
These guys put a lot of work to build this piece of art! Impressive! And a crosswind landing... that was really impressive!
Amazing! Once flying, no one can tell the difference from a real Super Connie!
Awesome model of the Constellation.Looks like the real thing in flight.Great sound too
I've always thought the Super Conney was one of the most sexy airliners in the history of the aircraft type. This model is beautifully built and beautifully flown. Well done and thanks for sharing!
What a sight to behold! Beautifully constructed airplane, great piloting and a wonder photographer filming the whole sequence perfectly! Congratulations to all involved.
Thanks for the feedback Philippe! Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Every other R.C. plane I have seen is nothing, nothing, compared to this Fabulous example of master craftsmanship. Very, Very well done, indeed. It's a thing of Beauty. I love it.
Thank You so Much for sharing Video of your , "Best Ever" R.C. Airplane.
Just BEAUTIFUL!!!!Look at this outstanding model!!!
Beautiful! Excellent piloting sir! That's a beauty! Even sounds authentic scale!
Wow, even has retractable landing gear. How cool is that?
What a briljant pilot! Very Nice flight, thanks so much!!!
All kidding aside what a beautiful sleek aircraft .Brings back memories of props flying cross country back in those days. Well done gentlemen
Beautiful model and great flying with those cross winds. You literally see the plane yaw before being corrected. For a moment I thought that I was transported back in time to the 1950s watching planes at the airports. Great job !
All four engines on a Super Constellation? Pretty unusual ;-)
Awesome build, btw!
Clever clever Gentlemen.Fantastic design superbly controlled.
Fantastic!! Amazing to see what someone can do with talent and brains.
OMG!!!! So so nice seeing this....A Lockheed in this size.....Wow!!! That is really nice...Thank you...
As good as it gets,PERFECT.
Way too cool guys. Great job. I flew the Connie with TWA. Capt B, Hawaii
Wow. That thing clocks in at well over the empty weight of many human-carrying ultralights. Probably more horsepower too! :P Beautifully modelled and flown, not to mention filmed.
Congratulations Sir! Impressive take off, impressive flight and spectacular landing.
Very impressive aircraft. Well flown Skipper.
Beautiful, just beautiful!
Outstanding replica,awesome flight controls at any size RC. THANK YOU🎥👌✈
Beautifully built and amazingly skillfully flown!
Best model ever. Beautiful and very historic plane. Thank you for sharing...
What a masterpiece.
What a Bird.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you too!
Beautiful
great sound and scale. Very nice control forces too. nicely harmonized, great balance and longitudinal stability. Very impressed. Just needs a little nose wheel - rudder inter mix.
Modern airliners can't hold a candle to the styling and aesthetics of this plane.
that's for sure
Man if I was rich. This is the airliner I would buy. Thanks Mr Kelly!
Congratulations on the landing. Lovely model.
This is one reason why old people are important to society. Most “youngsters” don’t even know what this beautiful plane is.👍
"Mesmerising" Big part of my childhood - Thanks for posting :)
Oh lovely, fabulous landing too, thank you😀
Love to see model air liners in flight. Beautiful!
Wow!!! Amazing! Beautiful!
Beautiful...beautiful...no words....thanks...thanks...thanks !
Beautiful model.
Nice touch with the landing lights!
Perfect in every sense of the word.
What a gorgeous model, love it.
Amazing and awesome. Kudos to the owner and builder!!!
To put it simple, that is awesome!! Congrats!!
absolutely beautiful aircraft, a jaguar of the skies!
What a fantastic sound!
What a beautiful model...even equipped with retractable gear and landing lights!! It is also the first Connie I have seen with wing tip tanks :-)
gracefully done in a crosswind, makes the footage even better than the mill pond ones! bravo
Absolutely beautiful!
Congratulations on a superb aircraft build and flight. Nailed that landing sir.
Woooooooow..!!! Hermoso..! Felicidades señores..!
Very cool! Some people just go beyond!
That is one gorgeous RC Aircraft, Incredible that he could even build it.
there are bigger ones with real jet engines. but it is nice. for sure
Congrats!
This is just awesome! Greets from Switzerland, Daniel
As the German in flight of the phoenix said..."this is not a toy...it is a scale model of the full version"
Mother’s Grace🙏
Kudos Mr Keith
Hats off to you👍😊👏👏👏🌹
She's a beauty!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Great job to the Captain 👨🏻✈️😁👍🏼
All grown ups are kids inside. The only thing that has changed is the size of their toys!
Yes, vibrator!
Awesome. Very smooth handling.
My first ever flight was in a TWA Connie. Newark to Detroit, over 2 hour flight. I was about 10 yrs and will never forget it. Being invited up to the cockpit by the stewardess and given my flight wings by the pilots. What a beautiful model.
Fabulous......Well done all involved 👍🏻🌞
Wow! Even landing lights! I flew in one of these back in 1950, flying from Lincoln, NE to San Jose, CA.
The Connie is an aircraft of pure beauty!
They are DoIng an actual run up of the engine. Incredible
Awesome build on that model aircraft. What a beauty.
Hats off to the Constellation!
this is an absolutely awesome model ;)
Made two flights on one of those, over to Japan via midway and return via Wake 1959 and1961
Out of croydon?
Beautiful!! Our squadron (VQ-1, NAS Atsugi, Japan) flew Super Connies.....
Super!! Thanks for sharing!!
Beautiful craftsmanship! (Pretty good flyin', too! ;) )
Unbelievably great sounding plane on the flybys
Wow, that's a great airplane Mr. Mitchell built.
A great model of a great aircraft, and extremely realistic (lacking only the 3-bladed props)! Loved it! BTW, excellent flying!
Amazing!!!
Wahnsinn!!!!! Großartige Leistung!
I remember seeing those flying when I was a boy, in the '50's. What a beautiful aircraft.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
Such a beautiful plane!
Beautiful model. Even sounds sort of like a real one, which I haven't seen since I was 5.
I HAVEN'T SEEN A CONNIE SINCE THE LATE 80'S EARLY 90'S AT OSHKOSH. DAMN FINE LOOKING AIRCRAFT.
It sounds like a moped at idle. The Fly-bys sounded pretty good thought.
Nice, large displacement, relatively slow turning two stroke engines. Made for a realistic sound in flight, kudos to the chap who figured this all out. The rotation for takeoff was even very well executed, difficult to judge just how to do that.
Great, thanks for upload
Wow so cool
WOW thats incredible
this is so incredibly exciting
amazing model, the true birth of airline aviation.
It is a beautiful Aircraft, and incredibly well designed!
When the plane touches down right in front of the pilot was very enjoyable
Beautiful 👌 1:6 scale is so big I bet even the cockpit is detailed ... 😊
Wow What an amazing Aircraft you have Sir and We'll Done for Flying Her.
