    Thank you seagull, the club members and big thank you to the workers.

    I always suspected that Seagull was an OEM for Hangar 9...now I know. Great tour BTW! They are very cool to have let you fly their planes.

    Wow! Amazing! I'll bet that you had felt very privileged and honored to have been able to fly their aircraft, especially the Corsair. Congrats!

      I was. I was flabbergasted they let me fly it.

    Nice to see how much care is taken with their models, and of the facilities, along with good working conditions for employees. they have some very nice scale models! I want my house to look like their factory!

      My 4br house has every room filled with airplanes, parts, a work shop and a museum where I keep my RC stuff from the 1980's.

    Great Job Fritz! Nice to have a local Houstonian representing our hobby.👍

  • @v57Videos
    @v57Videos ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Wow! Seeing behind the scenes was amazing and I was super impressed with how much stuff was actually done on-site. It probably should have gone without saying, but I didn't realize how complex an operation it was to manufacture RC planes. Great work!

  • @aidengriffen

    Stellar video Fitz! Awesome showing us where are flying models come from. Makes me appreciate and grateful all the hard work that goes into having a plane land at my front door! Very impressed with Seagull’s factory operation!

  • @jonmiller4952
    @jonmiller4952 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Congrats! That’s awesome to have such an amazing opportunity to visit and fly with a company that’s producing such good models and to be able to offer feedback and suggestions from a modeler that sees what we do on the end user/buyer/flyer is even better!!!

  • @akie64

    Excellent upload! Total respect to these artisans. My Singaporean father in law gave me a Seagull F4U as a present while we were visiting, it was super as was the Skywalker I purchased a year before. So glad that these beautifully built models are still made in Vietnam, more reason to buy another one!!
    And what a lovely end to the tour, going to a club for some flying, eating lunch together and then some more flying! Perfect 🇻🇳

    That was a great show .Loved the walk through . I actually had a couple of Hanger9 arf’s . They flew fine.

  • @djrose61
    @djrose61 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Hey man that was awesome! Hats off to you for going deep into the local scene and no better way than at a flying club. I am sure they really enjoyed having you there and showing off their stuff proudly. I have been traveling the world professionally for a while and tapping into the rc flying scene as well. By the way you flew great! I would have been way too nervous to put my hands on the sticks of those RC gassers. Well done!

  • @K5_BlaZer

    I really like Seagull Models. They have unique scale subjects and still use good quality covering instead of that awful vinyl that many others are using.

    Brilliant video and really well made and well presented. You flew the planes really well too. I have a few Seagull models in my Hangar and they are all good flying planes that I enjoy taking to the club field. Thanks for sharing this, it was very enjoyable to watch.

    That ugly stick is called an ugly stick for a reason 😅
    Thanks for the upload. They have some fantastic planes and very professional staff. Wish them all well 🙂

  • @OldMtnGeezer
    @OldMtnGeezer ปีที่แล้ว

    I sure do enjoy your videos, Fitz. This one was extra special & brought back some memories. I was stationed in Long Binh, HQ, USARV (U.S. Army Vietnam), in '70, not too far from Saigon, and those street scenes looked quite familiar. The cultural differences between then and now are both dramatic and refreshingly welcome. Glad you got to do the tour, with the added bonus of a little stick time. (BTW, my very first RC plane was a 60" ws Das Ugly Stik with a Fox Hawk .60 & EK Logictrol radio, purchased in Ft. Worth, built & flown soon after my return home. The engine-out on takeoff was also quite familiar. LOL!)
