Fantastic Aero-Modelling ! RC replica of 1961 Piper Super Cub (Shuttleworth Collection)
Always great to film scale radio controlled model aircraft but even better to film a model that is an exact replica of one of the aircraft in the Shuttleworth Collection. A collection of full size aircraft located at the Old Warden Aerodrome. I did not get a chance to talk to the owner and pilot so any further information would be appreciated so it can be added here.
The full size aircraft was built in 1961 and registered as G-ARSR until it was transferred to the Sudan in 1962 where it became ST-ABR (It was used as a locust crop spraying aircraft for a time). It returned to the UK in 1979 and was registered as G-BGWH.
It went through a few owners and spent the 20 years from 1988 to 2008 at Clacton Airfield before being purchased for The Collection by the SVAS in October 2008, specifically to tow gliders and for use as a pilot training aircraft.
In the winter of 2009 the aircraft was re-registered G-SVAS, in recognition of The Collection’s support team, The Shuttleworth Veteran Aeroplane Society, who had purchased it.

A beautiful model, well flown. A joy to watch.

Love the engine. Sounds like a four stroke twin.

Nice model and great scale flying. Reminded me of how much I don’t miss glow!
