Was with Dad when he picked up his 1977 Bellanca Citabria. First time I ever did a snap roll, and it scared the bejesus out of me. Me and him did a Knife edge turn, INSIDE and below the rim, of the Mt St Helens crater with that Citabria His had a tow hook and he pulled gliders up for some spare gas money. His had the Green on white Batman wings-ish paint scheme. He bent both wing struts doing some maneuvers with a buddy. Pulled a bit to many g's with the weight onboard. It was fixed, inspected and sold, He had his fun. Very Nice Super. Rode in one of those as well.
Usually one or two at every model airplane club field and I've flown at right many that want to tell you how to fly. If you can take off and land a model safely you don't need their help.
@@LesterHall-kx2yt When I take a new model to the club I get "Do you want someone to test fly it for you?" My theory is that if it is square, basic CG and the wings aren't hanging off then I should be able to test it myself after nearly 40 years of scratch builds. If I prang it it is on me.
@@LesterHall-kx2ytthat's main reason why I quit RC planes... someone always wanting you to fly or rushing you to fly....ends up in crashes.....all my planes In the attic since 1999....lost interest when I had kids, and never resparked....now I'm in RC cars, a lot easier to repair than a busted up plane made out of balsa and plywood...but I loved it more than cars...too many public Karen's complains Abt the noise too
I own the little brother of this airplane. A Franklin two cylinder 60 HP Bellanca Champ. Only two others in original condition left, last time I checked.
Could not do much with it as the top was off, the first flight it flew off and got damaged , need to fix it , the next flight will be better with some flight moves!!
Omg why didn't you get his roll out!!! You know what??? You are FIRED. !!!! Damn dude . Guy flying the plane! Get more of your plane including the whole landing!!!!
No it’s a kit by pilot rc 180 inch super decathlon, originally was made to be electric on 14s than I had a friend convert it to gas with a giant 4 cylinder 222 cc engine!! This is a monster in person the sound the size presences is unreal, it will be a great model to have for little kids to see because realistically they can fit inside!!!
No it’s not true, in the videos maybe but in person, it’s a different feel, next flight will be different , I was flying with no top hatch as it came off and broke, in process of fixing it now. Going to fly this foot off the ground will look neat and also fly it upside down down the runway with the wheels sticking up :)
@@dholmastersherlock Yes I'm sure it feels very different. I was talking about how it looked in the air. You can still cover it with your thumb. I've been building and flying model airplanes for nearly 50 years, attended many QSAA and TOC events, so I do know a little something about it. Can't wait to see what else falls off the darn thing.
The flyer is a beginner, no one who has this large a plane should know how to keep an engine running , also that take off cross runway and just kept going straight away, best way to lose a plane with orientation, needs to be told to use the rudder, get comfortable on a small plane please !
This actually was electric, I bought it from Ali machinchi , I got it with no power plant so installed a giant dle 222 with 32x12. I did not have the top it blew off and just went in circles and landed

Change the camera man Sherlock, not supposed to be rumning commentary while you're flying
Nah, there always has to be one with a big fat armchair.
The camera man was super annoying. I couldn't finish the video
Someone should be telling him how the zoom, focus and tracking works.

A good video for other TH-cam creators to watch.

The guy that says just use aailerons and rudder says I want to fly it now..🤣🤣🤣
this aint a motor,, its an engine

Haven't flow there in years but I regonized the field right away
He said keep the throttle open, Sherlock...
I thought he was being an ass hole...but, i guess his name really is Sherlock.

Awesome plane
You guy's did great man . I could never fly something that big ,the pavement keeps getting in my way. Great job guy's. 😊
Could not do much with it as the top was off, the first flight it flew off and got damaged , need to fix it , the next flight will be better with some flight moves!!
Camera man needs work. LOL
Nice Sherlock
Nice Plane
Next flight will be better I was flying with the top off , it actually blew off and broke on start up :(
Omg why didn't you get his roll out!!! You know what??? You are FIRED. !!!! Damn dude . Guy flying the plane! Get more of your plane including the whole landing!!!!
Dai un avviatore al tuo amico...😂👍
Need to mix in some rudder for the turns…. Looks good though! 👍🙋♂️🖖🏻
Fantastic work! Is that your own design or are there plans available by chance? That is so cool!

Right on, thank you very much for the info and congratulations on a successful maiden!!!
He says Tell him to just use ailerons and rudder.... Obviously the guy didn't listen because he didn't crash it
I cannot believe that the cameraman screwed up the landing, I guess his name is Sherlock 🤮🤮🤮🙋🇺🇸😃👎 for the camera boy😮😮😮😮😮😢
The person with the radio. Is he the owner ?
Yes it’s mine
@@dholmastersherlock Don't you think you should be the one swinging the prop ?
Funny how once their airborne, they all look the same size, no matter how big they are.

Makes my 80inch tiny by comparison!
Yes it makes some of my bigger jets look tiny

Guess the owner has not much time on an RC plane...the start up was painful.
Yes I don’t own any gas engines , they are mainly turbine jets
The startup is painful? Hmm.. Actually, I didn't feel any pain!
And missed the landing. Jesus.
The cameraman did a bad job filming. Why is he flying so much plane with no idea how to fly using elevator for turning?
.....and I still can't see it 😂
Must drive an ev
That motor doesn’t sound right, you must check propeller balancing or something else. Weird sound, sound very weird. Check it out and good luck.
1:15 go electric ;-)

extrem HORRIBLE engine sound...bad mufflers...bääääh
Definitely get a new camera man. Pathetic. !
Between the cameraman and the guy that can’t start the plane, the videos almost unwatchable
