To our joy there are worthy, and talented people (middle-aged ) who make us happy with these magnificent works......and one who records it with the camera.
Absolutely love the “Golden Years” of British aviation. What a beautiful model! 😊👍 Looks so period, I’ll bet he even had passengers getting served with cream teas and other luxury trimmings. 😉 Mind you, there’d have been a few complaints to the Chief Steward about the “rather rough landing, old boy...” 🧐 Thanks for sharing. Full of admiration for those who have the skill and patience to build such models, the guts to risk flying them for the rest of us to enjoy, and very grateful to those who help share the fruits of their labours, on TH-cam and elsewhere. ✌️😎
This old ,a lot odd craft I got a glemps of it during the meeting when u has a quick walk thought it is an attention getter I'm sure during its hay day and still today. Never would have had the chance to even dream something like this up if not for Essential RC! Much Thanks to Mr Dom and all of Essential RC Crew!!
Beautiful sight. Sadly no HP42’s left at the time I joined HP. Missed them by about fifteen years. We did have a project around 1958, to reconstruct a short section of cabin to hang on a museum wall, demonstrating comfort in air travel during the 30’s. As with many projects of this nature, the cost was too excessive - so it went away. However, I did retain a couple of, now starting to fade, large dyeline prints of HP 42 loading diagrams, that I very occasionally get out of their envelope to study with nostalgia. Good to see the model includes the leading edge slats, designed (I believe) by Dr Gus Lachman and first test flown on the “Gugnunc”, that must have been the very first STOL airplane. Great memories.
Yup...obviously a fantastic builder and not bad flying until the landing. Just didn't fly it to the ground with the throttle. Lesson learnt I suspect. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
When it was first shown the HP42 was criticised by the aviation press and described as having "built in headwinds". But it had an outstanding safety record all 8 surviving up to WWII...
P.S. - to my earlier post. I believe that the HP 42 series, both East and West version, is still the only passenger transport aircraft, to have finished service and never to have suffered a passenger fatality. Something of which to be proud.
Lucky to get away with that landing, really not easy. Bust the wheel covers . Some down thrust could be the answer, as soon as the throttles opened up she went. Good save though. Beautifully built
Yeah...I've seen some guys have a lot of problems starting multi engine RC planes but this guy have it ready to perfection. I can forgive the landing when the model was that well constructed and setup. Just brilliant. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
One way to do it might be to run two engines at full throttle, bringing the model to just below stall speed, and throttle the other two for takeoff and control.
So hard to practice landings on these monsters. Its not like they exist in RC simulators, and flight slots are a premium. You cant spend all day doing touch and go's, other people want to fly too :) It survived the landing well, minus the wheel covers. Probably good to go again after a quick check over. Any landing you walk away from is a good landing, and any landing you can go back up again straight away, is even better. Yeah, hard landing, lack of practice on that model possibly, maybe could use a tad more speed so not so close to stalling point, strip seems long enough to handle a slightly faster landing. Otherwise, excellent flight and lovely model.
Actually, not... only lost a couple of flimsy wheel covers, everything else was pretty much intact. Its flyable again straight away, so an acceptable landing. By no means the best landing ever, but far from the worst.

This one is particularly impressive.
Now that has a strong, well designed landing gear..... Very Strong!

Fantastic reproduction well done
Fantastic model. In Norway we have a slang for old double deckers and multi wing planes; "Bookshelves".
Hahaha. Why haven't I heard of that before. Brilliant! Cheers Dom (Essential RC)

Beautiful plane! IT has huge drag. Keep steep angle and speed on landing.
fantastic craftsmanship on a rarely seen aircraft type. I'm happy it survived the pilot's landing 'finesse'.
What is there on the plane's landing gear I wonder?!
Lovely model, looks fab in the air.... landing practice needed...but I'm sure he probably knows that too....

Very graceful, reminded me of seeing them as a kid flying out of the old Croydon Airport UK
Wow! Nice job on that landing gear. It really held up well!
When it was first shown the HP42 was criticised by the aviation press and described as having "built in headwinds". But it had an outstanding safety record all 8 surviving up to WWII...
What a good call, instable approach = go-around!
I bet the passengers who flew on the full size HP-42 wished it would have gone as fast as this model go's!
This RC is a beautiful work of art. Loved watching this video!
Agree. It was stunning to watch flying. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)

That old timer falls like a rock at slow speeds.
What nice suspension.
Very nice model. Landing was a bit rough,but like they say,any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
Its amazing
Nice. Job well done sir!
What were the engines?
Great video

How on earth does it control 4 IC throttles simultaneously? And imagine tuning that lot!

A beautiful model let down by its pilot.

Двигатели, что настоящие восьмицилиндровые?!
Where is this Event
It's in Germany. Google "Airliner Treffen". Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Plus, these good shots would come from the camera itself with an action camera.
Do you know ramy rc ? When yes ist this our friend i Like him too
Yes. I met Ramy at this show. Great guy. You'll find some of my video of him flying on his TH-cam channel. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Hard landing.
Socken in Sandalen!
eckelhaft sowas... :D
Fliegende Scheune......
aerofly rc 8
Nope...this is the real deal. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
