Beautiful model of a historic Cold War bomber. I'm old enough to remember hearing these flying at night on practice bombing missions on American cities. They had a very distinct sound unlike any other aircraft. You'd never see them but you could hear them.
Same here. I was raised near Wichita on our farm and one could hear them coming, probably 20 miles distant and not yet in sight. Finally, you could spot it, very high altitude, moving graciously across the sky.
I remember the B36 in Fairford UK
Beautiful, ya got the six turnin' if you ever get the four burnin' that will be epic.
Right on
James Stewart 😎
@@Captain-Nostromo Yes , yes , somebody remembers. ✌️🇺🇸
Agree. Though should at least have the pods to complete the look. I wonder what size EDF would work to scale...just pods and wires, and it could likely carry the weight of a couple more batts.

I thought I saw Mr. Stewart waving from the cockpit….
Beautifully done model!
My Dad was in the USAF and flew those things... The real ones. He and a crew were sent to N. Africa to bring one back to England for repairs. It was flying on just six of it's ten engines. No problem! Most of his flight time was in B-29 and B-50 and their refueling tanker variants (KB). His favorite was the smaller twin engine B-25, which he said was like hopping into a sports car after driving around in an 18-wheeler.
It was normal for it to fly with the four jet engines shut down to increase fuel efficiency.
Model represents original B-36E-5-CF, 44-92009, Featherweight 3. This aircraft was the 8th of 385 to be built and was delivered to the USAF, June 1948...scrapped in 1957 ( Magnesium Overcast, Dennis R. Jenkins, page 229 )
The triumph of this model is the classic, unique shape of the B-36 is once again seen in the skies. Well done!
44-92009 was one of the B-36A planes that were ultimately converted to RB-36E. Without the jet engine nacelles, belly radomes, and canopy blister, this model would represent the plane while it was still a B-36A. It's a gorgeous model.

"delivered to the USAF, June 1948"
I don't remember this. Being less than a month old I was busy eating...pooping. :-)
By chance saw one B-36 when I was about 12 yo, maybe 1958, heard the droning engines high in the sky overhead. That was it.
I would have been a sleep in my crib
I remember a gaggle of them and other planes flying over our house. They might have come from Edwards or George AFB. Crazy sound.
An aircraft design thats right at the pivot point of old ideas and new ones
A little sensitive on ailerons, great cross wind landing. Beautiful scale replica
The best Crabing I've seen in RC Landings
Perhaps it has a gyro with gains set too high?? Beautiful plane none the less and flew really nice and had a ton of power.
Excellent reproduction Bravi!!!
Beautiful build!
I’ve heard twin electric powered planes but six is a symphony. Great plane and outstanding airmanship. Well Done Sir.
There is a 4 electric motor B-17 on FliteTest channel.
When props are behind wings they make a difference sound and are much louder.
Awesome build and a great flight. Very very nice. Thanks for posting it.
You're welcome 👍😎
Wow! I never see this before. Very nice.
The start up sounds like an air raid siren. Very cool model
Great landing.
The Peacemaker flies again.
wow! used to fly rc. never saw any thing like that.awsome.larry
As a kid in San Diego I would lay on my back to watch the XC 99 fly overhead What a nice RC model Thank, You
Great model, nice flying.
Jimmy Stewart in the 1st seat!
Nice crosswind landing. Congrats to the builder on such fine attention to detail! Incredible build. Thanks for bringing it to us.
I grew up in Ft Worth, Texas, where the B-36 was designed and built by Convair. Both my Grandmothers, my father, several uncles worked at the plant.
On 1 September, 1952, just two days before I was born, a tornado swept through Carswell Air Force Base just west of town. Two thirds of the B-36s on the base were destroyed. My grandmother had taken the week off to be at the hospital for my birth. I’m doing so, she missed the tornado at work.
🙏🙏♥️
AWESOME!
Truly a magnificent model of a classic B-36.
Amu!
Muito lindo!
Parabéns 🌻🌻🌻🌻
Ohh awesome!
Well done!
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
LOOKS LIKE IT FLEW LIKE A DREAM ALSO.
SUPERB JOB!
WOW!
Awesome model of my favorite aircraft! Thanks!
I always a wanted to see a real B36. Great job with the model.
They're around. Wright Patterson AF Museum has one inside. One in Palmdale Ca. I think there's a couple more out there. But I'd recommend WPAF museum.
@@Woody-nc1ru The full list of surviving B-36s is
Wright Patterson Air Force Museum, Dayton Ohio
SAC Museum, Omaha Nebraska
Pima Air Museum, Tucson Arizona
Castle Air Museum, Atwater California
That was very impressive.
She's a beauty! Put me in mind of "Strategic Air Command" starring Jimmy Stewart. Thanks for sharing.
First time ever seeing a giant B-36. Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!
where's "the four burnig?" hahaha!
Beautiful airplane, and great piloting he greased the landing. Thank you for the Post today is August 28th 2022
Nifty machinery and the air force gets some free advertising.
All it need to finish it are the four jet engines.
PEACE MAKER 👍
Amazing! If I built plane that big I be trying to ride in it!
My dad worked at Convair when these were being built. He said that one of the last things they did before closing the in wing fuel tank was sent an inspector with a light in to make sure there was nobody in there asleep. Quiet and dark, easy to do.
Unbelievably similar to the true aircraft, including the screaming.
I saw a slightly smaller model of a B-36 at Midway Atoll around 1967. I believe the wingspan on that one was around 6 feet.
It used gas engines, and the builder said he had to hand carve the pusher props.
Because we were on a military base, he couldn't use RC to fly it, and flew it on cables instead. It was all he could do to keep himself from being pulled off the ground.
It sounded like a real aircraft.
That would have sounded unbelievable with six "gas" engines, especially if they were of the four stroke variety.
@@rhondohslade No, they were two stroke aircraft model engines. It's the sound that propellers make that made it sound so grown up.
That would have been the Japanese Eureka control line kit.
@@stuarthanna2417 Very likely. He was a Staff Sergeant, and had probably cycled through Japan at least once. I went through Japan within 2 years.
Make one just large enough for me to ride in, .... you can dooooo it! 😁👍✌
great cross wind landing. this plane is my favorite subject, I was among the first to visit the one on display at GSW airport in Ft. Worth
In the late 1950's my dad was stationed at Fort Bliss Texas and he told me he would watch the Baker 36s leaving Biggs AFB in the early morning and when they returned most of the flight had at least one prop feathered. Nice work in replicating one of our nuclear bombers guys.
Electric motors simplify things in THIS particular application.
Now if only you had a miniature Jimmy Stewart as the pilot and the markings for the " Strategic Air Command " .
Movie by the same title .
Did they add the outboard Jets later or was that a different version?
Just goes to show that anything will fly with a big enough engine (or engines) :) Amazing scale craftsmanship!
The space shuttle was basically a flying brick.
@@Wildstar40 With the glide slope to match... lol
An airplane certainly will.
And if a cylindrical shape has delta wings and a vertical stabilizer like the Orbiter it can glide...
Sounds like an oversized Mosquito 🦟 lol 😆 👍
Magnificent model. It's the only modern way of getting an idea of what a B36 looked like in the air.
There's nothing like a good BM.. B-36 lovers have a Facebook page by the way..
Klasse Landung
The model should have included the 4 jet engines even if they didn't work, just for scale, ya know. Beautiful model though.
Sensational! The Peacemaker lives again! Spectacular model and great piloting!
Very nice. Great workmanship.
Nice piloting ! Great model ! Thanks for sharing !
Cool plane but would be waaaaay cooler if it had gas engines.
Where is all the black soot that used to pour out of these things?
Thank you for making this Video, great footage and quality. See you in 2024 :)
Thanks for showing and flying this nice model 😎👍
Bis 2024 🖐️
Starkes Ding Quentin! Wäre ja gerne auch vorbei gekommen aber hatte ja am Montag noch die Klausur :( Vielleicht beim nächsten Mal! 👍🏻
Danke fürs Lob, ja hoffentlich klappts beim nächsten mal
Why did you leave off the jet engines ?
Very big aircraft. Slow & steady landing due to cross wind, I guess. Nice flying 👍😀
Remember the sensation of 'feeling' them before actually hearing them.....the ground virtually shook from the drone of the engines. (this on takeoff from MacDill AFB)
Very Impressive !!! Congrats !!!
Outstanding. Thank you for posting
Fabulous - what else can you say. Well done !!
IMHO this model is really only possible with electric flight. It lacks some the noise that it should have but I don’t see a good reliable way to do this with gas/glow unless you build a huge one with the inherent cost and complexity of increased size.
HEY! The B36 had 6 turnin and 4 burnin!
Long flight! Glad they got it down ok.
That would be an awesome drone for the Ukrainians.
Too cool 👊. Thanks for posting. 👉👍
Incredible, beautiful, and majestic. Just like the real plane. I have never seen a real B36 fly in person, however I was up close and personal with one at Wright-Patterson AFB. The main landing gear was huge. One of the trim tabs for the horizontal elevator had been removed and stored inside the museum. It was larger that the entire wing of a Piper Cub.
Where is Jimmy Steward when we need him ?
Thanks for the video. A super aircraft, Like to see it when completed.
Very impressive!
Simply beautiful!!! I've never even seen, a plastic model kit of the "B-36", let alone watch one fly🤔😁!!! Even with it missing the four jet engines (not real noticable), it still KICKS ASS!!! I believe, the 'B-36' was the only SAC bomber, never to have dropped bombs, on an enemy target 🎯!!!
Beautiful plane, but sadly (can't be helped, given it's model size and weight), it should "lumber" into the the air, not "spring" like a jet.
ahh where are the 4 burning? of is that a later model? colour me embraced.
This one is an early B-36A Model, the later B-36D and every Model after that had the turbojets fitted.
Thanks for the enlightenment. Tidy
I see six turning but I don't see four burning. Why couldn't they have used edf's for the Jets
Great crosswind landing.
Nice crosswind landing bravo !
I've started building one of these in 1/36 scale by doubling the Monogram kit to just over 76". My problem is not knowing where to set the balance point? How big is yours and how far ahead of the landing gear strut did you set the balance point? I sure would be grateful fo any help. Built and flew a B-29, but didn't balance right and it crashed shortly after take off.
He had 6 turning but where were the 4 burning??
That's impressive! Too bad the original didn't have a p/w ratio as this one does... Nice crosswind landing! Someplace in Germany, no?
Yes, i Oppingen in southern germany
@@quentin9717 I have some past relatives from around there. Thanks.
Simply beautiful and amazing.
That crosswind lol
Electric motors make these things sound incredibly PHONEY !!!!!
How extraordinary!!!!
It looks SO much better without the ugly jets in the later versions.
☮
Finally someone gets it, in my opinion the original design without the jets is just a cleaner look.
@@quentin9717 👍
☮
Very nice! I see Six turning. Now where are the Four burning. THAT would be awesomely awesome instead of just awsome!
That is just plain Fantastic !
EPIC!!! Congrats my friend! 6 turnin. I hope you got plans for 4 burnin. But take pride in that pretty lady you got there!
superb, :Looked a bit if a handful on the ailerons though, but my flight hours are limited to single engine so what do I know.....beautiful build of a monumental plane.
Beautiful model. I couldn't fly it thou. I'd be terrified of destroying it. I don't know what it's worth, but I'm sure I wouldn't want to pay for it twice. lol
I see the six turning "But" ! We're is the four burning...your missing something like four nod them
Don't mean to nitpick here but even though I would know they would be fake I wish he would have went on and put the four jet engines on it because the rule was you got four burning and six turning but a very cool model I'll give you that
It looks beautiful up there flying around but the sound of the electric engines just seems wrong. It would be so much better with combustion engines thou, I'm sure it's a lot harder to fly and control that way, but it sure would sound a lot better.
Where's the 4 burning !!
What the hell!? Don't they believe in paved RC Runways in Europe!? How lame.
Fantastic. Only thing missing is the recorded sound of 6 x 28 cylinder WASPs
Where are the four jet engines. That is really cool, but much better with the other engines on, even if they wouldn't work.
Very very nice. You did good. 6 turn in. I hope you got plans for 4 burnin! That would be epic!
