Gorgeous Spitfire, perfect flight, great landing, an amazing accomplishment considering all the challenges these giant scale war birds pose to build and fly successfully and in front of a crowd no less.
I'm watching this again as I'm going to read Clostermann's book "The Big Show" again soon, and I never noticed the scale location for the fuel filler pipe - nice tough! :)
Looks just like the real thing. Shame only a 2 bladed prop. Only the very early spits had those. This is a later version with the extra radiator intake under the wings and the cannons. Awesome aircraft.
Goedenavond, Wat een vliegtuig!! Wat voor merk is het? Ik ben me aan het orienteren om een benzine warbird aan te schaffen, er zijn wel mooie modellen van hangar 9.. Mvg, Nathanael
Because a 4-blade propeller is not that efficient. Our aircraft do not need as much pulling power and the rc engines make relatively more rpm and aren't as powerful. A 2-blade propeller does the job more efficiently. The only reason to use a 3 or 4-blade prop is ground clearance.
Urbanfox53> I get your problem, I've seen hundreds of Gas planes started this way and never seen anyone hurt. Big nitro I can understand as it kicks back but spark ignition gas is perfectly acceptable, even my missus can safety start my saito gas radial by hand, one flick and away it goes.
Yes i Know four blade would be fantastic but than we would need a reduction gear on the 3w80 gasser. Air intake is absolutly nessacary otherwise the engine will soon overheat.
fantastic model, pity that he had to cut that large front hole in the cowling, it spoiled the appearance of the beautiful shape of the spitfire. but in the air was great.
Ook Nederlanders kunnen een model bouwen en vliegen, Prachtig allemaal en bedankt voor deze video. Word ik blij van!
Clostermann's plane :)
Nice, nice work !
What a nice scale aeroplane kit. Performed excellent!

Wow look at that detail!!!
looks great and nice flying. seeing your model in the pits gives a good perspective of size too. well done! long live the spit :D

Very nice RC model!
@RonaldKunenborg
Fantastic-looking model! :o)
nice job, very well done
Het camerawerk kan wel iets worden verbeterd. Maar het toestel is geweldig, evenals de gevlogen demo.
You can buy it by mick in the uk but you still have to build it
sick man!!! you are awesome!!!
Netjes gevlogen en ook top landing. Iets strakkere hand van de cameraman (of vrouw) was fijn geweest, maar desondanks een gave video.
Ideal landing!
I don't see many P38 models being flown. You'd think they would be far more common but I guess not.
Mode one?

@ringhiuz1 thanks 3w80xi
Pierre Clostermann's markings?
FinE!!!
Pierre Clostermann figurine inside cockpit?
:)
@DazDaMan yes! :)
What engine?
It is a mick reeves UK spitfire

👍
heb je deze spit zelf gebouwd of heb je deze van mij gekocht 95 king motor

Goedenavond,
Wat een vliegtuig!! Wat voor merk is het?
Ik ben me aan het orienteren om een benzine warbird aan te schaffen, er zijn wel mooie modellen van hangar 9..
Mvg,

I have that same model with a 4.2cu inch sax on it

Sorry.. Did i see see slovak and czechoslovak signs on this beautiful plane?
Lotrinský kříž byl znakem Svobodných Francouzů.
you are still awesome, i wish i was you,
Can anyone tell me why these scale aircraft use 2 bladed props when the real planes (P-51s and Spit IXs) used 4 bladed props.
Because a 4-blade propeller is not that efficient. Our aircraft do not need as much pulling power and the rc engines make relatively more rpm and aren't as powerful. A 2-blade propeller does the job more efficiently. The only reason to use a 3 or 4-blade prop is ground clearance.
I see it has the cross of Lorainne, Piere Closterman springs to mind he ended up flying Typhoons his plane was named "Grande Charles"
0470moo yes thats correct
0470moo he did fly this spitfire also
Is it me or is his transmitter throttle stick on the wrong side (right side).....
He's flying Mode 1. Right stick throttle and Aileron; Left stick elevator and rudder. Different, not wrong. ;-)
Someone should invent some sort of 3 legged apparatus that you could affix to your camera to steady it when recording. Maybe someday.......
mooi ding oh
very, very big model

As per the manual

OMG I think the pilots a Jerry!

+ripmax333 Which hole was that?
It's just below the spinner, which of course it's used to induce air for cooling the engine
Nice model except the two bladed prop.
Nice plane, next time get a different camera man.
You know you can buy a camera tripod these days for less than $20. Just saying.
He struggles to start it because he is flicking the propeller up instead of down
Not all engines start on a backfire. Most will start on a forward spin.
Fantastic plane, sucky camera man.
I know this is years old, but there should never, ever be anything in front of a model airplane (of any size) while the engine is running, ever!
