As a young boy, I could not get enough of watching someone hand fly a model airplane; still love to watch them fly. After over 30 years of flying General Aviation airplanes, building and flying Experimental Amateur Built airplanes, and having worked on aircraft for many years, I must say that your project is THE finest work (of aircraft art) that I've ever seen - bar none! Your engineering skills are to be envied, no question about it. I'm going to watch it again, and learn more. N6395T
This is the most amazing build ever. Nothing short of fantastic. My father was a tool & die maker before any CNC and I can really appreciate the close tolerances this took. This guy is an artist.
An exquisite project. Kudos to all involved for this marvel of miniaturization. I am impressed by the sheer work involved in the creation of this aircraft. Well done!
Yak 130 on first place was built by a huge team and a nearly unlimited financial backgrlund. But you made ALL by yourself, even the turbine!!! You are the real master, unbelievable!!! I feel like a beginner with my planes. Dom from Switzerland. (maybe you remember me, we emailed about turbine construction)
Absolutely spectacular. The level of detail you put into this model is truly amazing. I admire your patience and level of detail. Toppertje. Petje af voor je.
Highly skilled performance. Wat een klasbak. Je bent er één uit duizenden. Top job, all with love and dedication. Wij zijn trots op dit soort mensen. Blijf aub doorgaan. Woeker met dat zeldzaam talent. Long life and enjoy your rare craftmanship. Many more flights and soft landings, kid..
There is just one word to discribe the amount of detail and craftmanship that went into this: EPIC! I've also seen the film of the YAK130 model that I believe took 1st place in JWM2013. But those guys had acces to the complete plans and backup of the YAK factory and even more advanced production methods (full CAD design and CNC machining etc) To see this model and the result thusfar with the limited resources and handmachining you had Gerald. I can only say: Petje af man! Zoals al eerder gezegd, ik wou dat je m'n buurman was, dan stond ik voortdurend over je schouder mee te kijken!
Amazing job my friend. I used to work avionics on F-16s and your detail in this jet is amazing. I also have a rc F-16 but she isnt even close to this work of art. Well done!
Dit is werkelijk niet normaal zo mooi!! Die details zijn echt een lust voor het oog! Nu nog even jezelf (of je vrouw :-) op schaal door een 3D-printer laten uitprinten voor in de cockpit :-)
What sort of tooling do you use to craft a turbine engine by hand? I was under the impression you needed extreme precision and something like 5-axis CNC
What is your profession? This is one one the most accurate scale R/Cs out there. The landing gear is just genius how you miniaturized and functioned it
Ik lieg als ik zou zeggen dat hier geen woorden voor zijn :-) Doorzettingsvermogen, passie, focus, precisie, moet ik nog doorgaan? Prachtig... wat haat ik die YAK130 nu :-) F-16 rules!

Absolutely stunning detail,art and engineering not to mention your dedication and skill and you fly it ! It came second !!!! Unbelievable.
Such a fantastic piece of engineering. WELL done. it looks truly fantastic.

This video gave me chills...... Sir you are "THe Man"....
You are true craftsman, I rarely see people with your kinda skills build something so spectacular.

Gerald ik heb deze bouw op een forum gevolgd. En die landing gear is nogsteeds het meest indrukwekkende modelbouw werk dat ik ooit heb gezien!
Total respect. The level of detail is stunning.. My compliments sir!

This is truly a great art work I have ever seen on RC world. Congratulations...
Wow, respect! I'am stunned by the amazing level of details you have put into your model.
Een woord: Prachtig! Echt super mooi gedaan, de hobby die je hebt kun je verdomd goed!
Amazing job my friend. I used to work avionics on F-16s and your detail in this jet is amazing. I also have a rc F-16 but she isnt even close to this work of art. Well done!
Superb presentation, great model, quality people!
The only thing that could've come first was a real jet, that is awesome,you are the man.
Gerald you are at the top of the Master Craftsman list. Awesome work, a truly inspirational effort. Hope you nail # Mate
Beautiful job. Congratulations. Just perfect.
crazy detail and mechanics...freaking AWESOME !! good job and keep it coming
Fantastic Jet. Good luck at the JWM 2013
Best regards, RCSA
you are a milling machine hero! Simply Awesome.
Fantastic !!! well done....congratulations from Brazil
That's THE BEST DIY I've ever seen!!!great job!!!
Spettacular work and beautiful model!
Fantastic, the standard must have been very very high for that not to have taken first place. Brill bit of engineering there to. Well done! :)
yeah!!! Dhis is the best video dhat never I may have seen!!!!
Excellent.
Ik comment normaal nooit op YT, maar wat een vakmanschap zeg. Petje af.
Usually I never comment on YT, but what a craftmanship. Thumps up!
very impressive work, Gerald. thanks for sharing.
Fantastic Video greetings from Switzerland :)
bloody hell that is an amazing effort!! Congratulations
Oober super scale......what a fantastic creation.....and then there's the 'scratch built' turbine!

You sir are incredible , fantastic work
Fantastic video!!,congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Piękna robota, piękny model , gratuję.
I wonder how many hours went into it - Its gone past being a model and become a work of art........
I made a digital painting work of this model and it was a hell to paint it to the pc imagine with airbrush :) Good job
Uw werk is kunst! Bedankt voor het delen.
Heel mooi en veel succes bij de JWM 2013.
If you received 2nd place I have to see 1st because your work is amazing!
Incredible! Pure art!
wat geweldig mooi gebouwd.
Excellent job dear, 10/10.
Super Gerald! Heel veel succes in Zwitserland!
wonderful model, congrats
...in my opinion one of the three beautiest jet's ever build!!! ...the others are Su-27 H. Huf and of course Vitaly's Yak.
mooie compilatie, Heel veel succes en plezier in Zwitserland
Dit is werkelijk niet normaal zo mooi!! Die details zijn echt een lust voor het oog!
Nu nog even jezelf (of je vrouw :-) op schaal door een 3D-printer laten uitprinten voor in de cockpit :-)
omg nice work man this is awesone
Simply inspirational.
Truly inspiring :) You have lots of patience :)
hi, a model like this one how long can stay on the air with a single gas tank?
Jet World Masters second place? Wow! What in the world came in first?
where did you buy the cockpit glass
The best music choice!!!!!
How did you obtain original drawing for the plane, isn't it very very difficlt to get?
Perfect job!
Pure brilliance !
Good job! Wonderful!
What sort of tooling do you use to craft a turbine engine by hand? I was under the impression you needed extreme precision and something like 5-axis CNC
Schitterend Gerald! Veel succes op de JWM2013
2nd place? What came in first?
Super Mooi Werk, Gerald ! #Awesome #PetjeAf ... Vlieg er je regelmatig mee? En zo ja waar ? Groetjes !
well done . great job .
show your landing strut parts ,please ,sir .
Ongelooflijk, hoeveel duizenden uren werk???
It's unbelievable!
Echt ongelooflijk, wat een vakmanschap. En zo, zo mooi en gedetailleerd. Vlieg je er nog steeds mee? En zo ja waar dan zoal?
So much respect!
What is your profession? This is one one the most accurate scale R/Cs out there. The landing gear is just genius how you miniaturized and functioned it
Hello Gerald, you built the caves and wings or bought a kit? thank you
Just awesome!!!!
Outstanding!
Impressive....indeed !!
perfect job very good
Awesome, what else can be said...
完璧です。
素晴らしい！
How much would a RC like this cost me in if you were to build me one?
Ik lieg als ik zou zeggen dat hier geen woorden voor zijn :-) Doorzettingsvermogen, passie, focus, precisie, moet ik nog doorgaan? Prachtig... wat haat ik die YAK130 nu :-) F-16 rules!
beste gerald wist zo niet hoe ik verder met je in contact kon komen maar had een vraag over jou eurofighter typhoon 90 van graupner .
ik heb namelijk hetzelfde model .
dit model heb ik overgenomen van een man die overleden is . aangezien dat hij er geen tekening bij had of andere info wou ik jou vragen of jij het balance punt weet van het toestel .
alvast bedankt en met de vriendelijke groet R.Oosting lid van vliegclub MVCK
absolument génial ! bravo.

Geweldig knap gemaakt .
Speechless
This is awesome, may I know how many work hours had you spent on this project?
Can we order one?
this is awesome
